EF2 January Update 1: Area 4 is Implemented!

Hello! It’s January eleventh, which means it’s time for a development check-in! A quick update this time- Let’s jump right in with a look at the goals for these first eleven days of the year:

Finish implementing Area 4 Environments (Backgrounds, objekts, characters): Completed!
Make the assets for a character zone: Partially completed!

So- Area 4 is fully functional now, and I also got to implementing the other environments that still needed to be added back into the earlier areas, like the riverbank in Area 1. As for the character zone, I made good progress, just not the exact progress I planned on. I took the time to sit down and determine the actual designs for a number of zones I hadn’t finalized yet. And I got the prep done for several zones (example below!), just didn’t get as far as completing them yet. So hopefully, in my next update, I’ll have two or potentially three asset sets ready~

So, to slightly modify the goals for the next part of the month, what I’ll be doing my best to complete before 1/25:

Write 6 conversations
Finish the assets for at least two character zones
Implement a key item
Finish implementing supplementary environments

Definitely still doable, even though my January has already followed in December’s footsteps of becoming quickly busier than I was expecting… That’s life! Anyway, that’s all I’ve got for now. I’ll continue doing my best, and I should have some more stuff to share with you all later this month! Thank you, as always, for reading. Have a great day!

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...

EF2 May Update 2: Farewell For Now!

Hello everybody! Welcome to the 5/31 update, the second May update, the final update before the update hiatus begins! And what have I accomplished since the first May update? Not a whole lot, honestly! Attending a large convention is fun but exhausting (Got a little con plague, too), so almost all of the energy I had left went toward working on commissions from etsy. No part of the Kickstarter budget included wages for my time working on the game, so unfortunately, I must still prioritize other work! Even so, ‘not a whole lot’ isn’t the same as ‘nothing at all’! Let’s look at last update’s goals: Finish at least 3 of those Area 4 Backgrounds: This one didn’t happen. All the time I’ve been able to spend at my desk has gone into commissions this period. Sketch some subprimary backgrounds for the areas already done: This one, however, did happen! I sketched all those subprimary backgrounds and even one of the backgrounds for Area 5. The wonders of the sketches being possible anywher...
