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 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...

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...

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...
