EF2 February Update: Apologies For The Wait!

 Hello everybody! So, as you may have noticed… There was no regularly-scheduled devlog on January 25th. The skipping of that update was mentioned at the time on the discord, and on my personal tumblr (though not the official one) and that’s about as much as I could manage that particular weekend.


To make a long story short- December is usually slow at my day jobs. January and February are usually not slow, but are primarily occupied by a particular project that I’m skilled at, which leaves me with a comfortable amount of free time. This year, December was busy, and another much more intensive project was scheduled alongside the usual Jan+Feb project. That intensive project really beat me up that week, including an unexpected 13-hour-shift with only a 15 minute break, and just the idea of needing to write and cross-post a devlog across every platform was too much for me, so I had to skip it.

Not to get too into the weeds on my personal life, but to put it the most simply, I am overwhelmed and not doing particularly well- So, with the goal of showing myself some kindness, this will be February’s only update and I’ll try to get back on track with these in March.


But! Just because I wasn’t able to make the previous update, doesn’t mean I didn’t get some goals done~


  • Write 6 conversations: Done! More than six, actually- In the March update, once I’ve done a few more, I’ll share an updated progress bar

  • Finish the assets for at least two character zones: Done, actually! Obviously not implemented yet, but the assets are created for Tony’s first zone and Greta’s first zone. I’ll share a little piece of that below~

  • Implement a key item: I completely forgot I added this goal, so, not done, oops.

  • Finish implementing supplementary environments: Done!






So, despite everything going on, progress is still being made and will continue to be made. Entropic Float 2 is unfortunately unable to be my first priority in practice, but it is first priority in my heart, so I’ll always make time for it, even while it doesn’t seem like I’ll be getting less busy anytime soon. And so, what will the goals be for the rest of this month?


  • Implement that key item I forgot about

  • Finish the assets for another character zone (I’ve already gotten started on one of Bea’s, progress photo below!)

  • Write 8 more conversations



Though there’s three more weeks before I next share an update, I’m holding back a bit to keep my goals realistic. As much as I might be struggling at the moment, we are continuing to get closer to being able to begin early beta tests- And as soon as I get a break and recover a little, I’m sure I’ll have another burst of productivity here as well. Until next time- Thank you, as always, for reading.

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...

May Update: Midnight's Requiem Complete Edition, Backer Rewards, and EF2 Progress!!

  Leading with the most exciting part! Remember when we hit the stretch goal to have Stephanie's VA record the full version of Midnight's Requiem, with the lyrics that Prinxe wrote? Well, I've finally uploaded the result for your listening pleasure! Of course, the Renfield Future track will be up next, but I have a bit more to do on that one before I can share it, so enjoy Stephanie's wonderful vocals for the time being! Now, Rewards! The physical rewards are IN PRODUCTION right now, at the manufacturer~ They're on the way! If you missed out on any, there are a limited number of extras of each new design coming my way. Digital Rewards meanwhile- I've finished commissions for backers who are also receiving physical rewards. If you got digital rewards only, your art is still on the way! I took a small step back from working on rewards after getting the manufacturing order in, to focus on the game itself for some time, but it shouldn't be too long until you s...

EF2 December Update 2: Happy New Year!

  First off- I delayed this update by a couple days so that I could post on New Year’s Eve! Here’s a themed doodle of Bea for the occasion! 2025 has been a chaotic and challenging year, for a whole lot of reasons, so I’m happy to welcome 2026 and hope that it’s a little bit kinder to me and to the development process of Entropic Float 2. I feel it’s promising on that front though! Let’s take a look back at this month’s goals, as much as I was able to fit them around the holidays. Draw characters for the Area 4 backgrounds: This is done! Draw and implement Objekts for Area 4: They’re drawn, and they’re partially implemented! Make the assets for another character zone: I didn’t get to this one, I did a bit too much crafting this month to have the juice left for it, but January should be different~ So, I got a fair bit done! The Objekt implementation is a matter of- They’re implemented for the inventory, but not entirely in the environments, because I failed to remember that none of t...
