Renfield Future Song Release + EF2 November Update #1

 BIG NEWS FIRST-




“Not Your Cherry Sundae” by Renfield Future has finally released! The ability to create this song by the in-universe band was made possible with a Kickstarter stretch goal, which covered the costs of composition and recording- But it took a bit longer for me to be able to order the cover image commission. It’s well worth the wait. Rex Rosario’s vocals and Soyokaze’s art make for a wonderful music video!


Moving along to the actual development update, let’s look at the previous update’s goals.


  • Complete at least 3 more backgrounds: Done! Again, I’ll share one below.

  • Write at least 6 more standard conversations: Well, I was able to write two of them- Not a big enough advancement to share a progress bar this time.

  • Create the assets for one Character Zone: Done! Everything’s created for Jane’s zone (and the puzzles are function-checked), the other step is to digitize those assets and implement the minigame. One down!



If you’re wondering why I fell so short on that conversation goal- Well, another priority presented itself to me that I had to split my attention with. The difficult thing with the level of gamedev that I’m on is that it can’t get my full attention- Often that has to do with my two day jobs, but this time, it’s the etsy shop. It’s November, which means that the steepest manufacturer discounts of the year are coming up- I failed to account for time I’d need to spend designing in advance of the sale when I made my gamedev goals for the month. Even so, let’s see the goals for the next half!


  • Complete the other three backgrounds remaining in the WIP folder  

  • Write another 5 standard conversations  

  • Finish drawing every ref that Shoii needs for the remaining memory CGs


In consideration of the other things I’m working on, the writing might fall short again- It’s a lot easier to draw for EF2 in tandem with drawing for the Fan Niche than it is to switch fully between tasks. Even so, I’m not amending these goals- I’m still shooting to succeed!


That’s all for now- Thank you as always for reading, and enjoy the song!

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 #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...

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...
