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 December Update #1: Backgrounds!

  Hello everybody! It’s midway through December- That means it’s update time! With everything going on this month, I did set smaller goals, with plans to catch up in January if those still fell short. So far this month… Draw the remaining backgrounds necessary for area 4 - Done! Sharing one of those below~ Draw characters for the Area 4 backgrounds - Partially complete! I’ve sketched them into their positions, but have yet to finish them fully. So, mostly on track! Since I did get started on the characters, I’ll carry that goal into the rest of the month, though I’m also still working on making gifts for the people in my life, and completing holiday season etsy orders for others! This is the usual stuff of December, and regular work has also been busier this year than it usually is this month (as mentioned last update) so I’m doing my best. If only gamedev paid the bills… EF2 might be done by now if I could afford to focus only on it! This period’s backgrounds are, as mentioned bef...

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...

The Haunting Of Kurumi Mori: Spooktober 2025 Entry! (And An EF2 Check-In)

The Haunting Of Kurumi Mori Is Now Available! This is an entry to the Spooktober 2025 Visual Novel Jam- Made by myself and an amazing team (PrinxeCatqueer, TollingBells, and Chaotic_ERROR with additional beta testing by Quartoch!) entirely within the month of September! And oh boy, am I ever pleased with the result. It might not be one of those games that you wonder 'how was this made for a gamejam', but I'm proud of how our hard work came together to create this lovely little side-game set in the Entropic Float universe. It's a standalone story, but there's a subtle cameo-mention of a character you know and love, and this game will introduce you to a couple of characters whose stories will eventually intersect with that of our heroes. Now, as for Entropic Float 2- I'll admit it was a smart, if painful, move for me to take this hiatus from sharing updates. My summer was stressful in a hundred different ways, and I genuinely don't think I could have even mana...
