EF2 March Update 2: Writing Is Happening!

 Hello everybody! Welcome to the second March update, or the only March update if you’re on Kickstarter. This month, I was able to make a good bit of progress! Not a ridiculously powerful burst of productivity or anything, I’m still struggling to get my body on the same page as my brain, but the rest I’ve been able to take this month has also been helpful. I’m feeling more prepared to handle the next busy stretch and to continue creating for EF2 in the meantime.


So, over the past few weeks- How have I done with those goals?


  • Do some housekeeping tasks: Done!

  • Write at least 5 more conversations: Done!


The housekeeping tasks I was able to get done include improving the conversation outline status and making some important layout changes to the Entropic Float discord server, as I realized it was still reflecting a pre-release status quo in some areas! I had been adding things where needed, without going back and removing things that were no longer relevant. Now it’s all cleaned up! Moving on…



Here’s a conversation progress bar! I’ve been doing well with these lately. This number may appear to represent a small fraction of the total, but a good portion are conversations which can wait until after the early beta test is available- We’re getting quite close to the amount that would be needed to consider the earlygame playable. So, what about the goals for the next portion? Before my next update on 4/12, I’d like to:


  • Write another 5 conversations

  • Finish the assets for another character zone

  • Implement a character zone


It’s true that I actually did write 10+ conversations over the last development period, but since I’ve gotten in the groove with them, I’m interested in continuing to work on more! Then, the character zone objectives- I’m hoping to draw the assets for Munya’s first zone, and to implement the assets for Greta’s first. Unlike most other characters, the assets for Greta’s are already digitized, so I can get the hang of the implementation without attacking the digitization step along the way this time. Tackling one new task at a time!


As for the following update on 4/25, those goals will be…


  • Digitize a character zone (not necessarily implement)

  • Write an additional 5 conversations

  • Finish some previously sketched CGs


Something new, something regular, and something that past me already got started on! And of course, should I finish the first batch for the month, I’ll jump right into the next- Though that seems unlikely, with Anime Boston coming up during this development cycle. I didn’t make it through the lottery to get a table, but I’ll still be attending all weekend!


So, that’s what I’ve got for now. Thank you, as always, for reading! See you next time, and I’ll leave you with this artfight of Rashmi and Amelie by UnluckError404 ~

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...
