EF2 March Update 2: On To Area 3!

 Hello everybody! If you’re on Kickstarter, this is the March update- Everywhere else, it’s the second March update! And as for what’s in the update? Well…


Not a whole lot, sorry. I have not been having a normal time in this two week period. Not a bad time! But not a normal one! Today as I share this update, it’s… My first day off since the last update. I had 5 days of work across my day jobs, a table at CTGamercon, then another 5. I should have had yesterday to work on EF2, but work the day before ended up being a total of thirteen hours with one shift left incomplete- I had to go to work, then back out to run another unexpected errand, all in all just a busy time with no real opportunity to buckle down and get stuff done.


For that reason, I again don’t have new official art to share, so let’s hear it for this piece of Maude from Vanitasium on ArtFight!



Even still, I was able to get a few things done in these two weeks. March has not been quite as excellent progress-wise as February ended up being, but every step gets us closer to release!


Here’s the goals for this time period:

  • Add Objekts into Area 2 : Did this! As per usual, there are a lot of Objekts that will probably end up being added later down the line, but everything that was definitely going into Area 2 is now implemented- Including the first objekt that goes through multiple iterations while taking up the same inventory slot! That might not sound like much, but I’m relieved it worked!

  • Sketch backgrounds needed for Area 3 : Sketched 2 out of 6! That leaves 4 to sketch in April. Technically, I started a third, but a ‘completed sketch’ for me is one that’s ready to begin lineart, and that one’s not there yet.

  • Create a map for the ‘Tony’s Rides’ function : Still haven’t gotten anywhere with this- I’ll carry the goal into April!


So, the goals before the next update on April 12th:

  • Sketch remaining 4 backgrounds for Area 3

  • Complete at least 2 of those Area 3 Backgrounds

  • Create a map for Tony’s Rides

  • Implement all Objekt Reactions for Bea and Syoko in Area 2


And some stretch goals for further in April:

  • Complete Area 3 Backgrounds

  • Make travel throughout Area 3 Possible

  • Add characters into Area 3, if there’s still time.


Laying out the upcoming goals, even struggling a bit through March, it’s clear that development is coming along! The year ahead is still full of uncertainty, but by taking so much time to build a framework, the actual implementation process is pretty swift- Not so swift that I’m confident deciding on a release date just yet, though. Even so, things are moving along. I’ll update again soon, and thank you for reading!

Entropic Float 2: Character Reveal and Kickstarter Date!

  Entropic Float 2... Characters! They're here! The video above shares some songs to help you get the feel on their personalities- And their profiles are available too! I've also been hard at work to get the demo ready before the Kickstarter, which I've decided to launch on 11/11/2023 ! Below, you can see the first talksprite for good ol' Kanatsune Ame. To temper expectations a bit- The demo will only cover the beginning of the game. The 'exposition loop', if you will. Several of these characters won't be appearing yet, and certain loop-related features will, well, not exist because there is no second loop to implement them on. It should, however, give you an idea of what the story's going to be, and how the main point-and-click gameplay will work. Just enough of a taster to let you know that EF2 is worth getting made! And I mean... Even if the Kickstarter fails, I'll make it anyway. It just might take me a good bit longer, and might miss out on some...

Entropic Float Biweekly Update #6

Happy Halloween to those who celebrate! Here we have some lovely themed art of Shinji by Tree Dorothy on Skeb ! This update, I have a few pieces of exciting news! The first is unrelated to the game development itself, but I've recently gotten a new job that should give me more opportunity to work on Entropic Float each weekend. The second, much more relevant update is that I've officially partnered with Starfield Gaming , the developer of Heart Fragment ! While we've already been working together for some time now, Entropic Float will now officially be releasing as a Starfield title when the time comes! And if you're looking forward to that day, I'd definitely recommend giving Heart Fragment a shot in the meantime. It's a Psychological Otome Game that, as of the time of writing this update, has two fully completable routes (with more on the way!) and is 50% off of its usual price, only five dollars for quite a bit of content- And the art is prettier than Entrop...

Entropic Float Biweekly Update #12

   Time for Update Twelve. The art this week was commissioned from  Niina on skeb! Not the most relevant image this time, since Peri doesn't actually appear in any of the Rashmi routes... But she's adorable, so don't hold it against me, okay? You also shouldn't hold it against me because, for all but the first two days after my previous update, I've had covid. Omicron's infectivity really is off the charts, and I'm a fragile person, so of course I had loads of symptoms. Nothing serious in the end, thanks to my triple vaccine, and my brainfog's cleared up over the past few days, so I still have some progress to share! Writing: 48/54 segments... That's right, despite spending most of my time sick, working from home during moments of clarity and playing video games during moments of utter fog... I actually wrote the entire Rashmi Noon Route. A big chunk of that was immediately following the last update, but I still doubled my goal of three segments... S...
