EF2 May Update 1: Falling a Little Short, Let's Make Up For It Later This Month!

Hi everybody- welcome to the first May update, and happy mother’s day! I’d love to accompany this update with some art of Greta, the undisputed best mother of the Entropic Float world thusfar, but artfight is currently undergoing maintenance so I actually can’t go and gather anything you haven’t already seen- oops!

So instead, let’s jump right into the goals!

Implement that digitized Munya zone: Done! The zone is fully functional~
Digitize another zone, maybe Tony’s?: Done! Tony’s indeed.
Make the assets for another zone: Not quite done!

With various things going on, I wasn’t able to finish the assets I got started on- this time for Renfield’s zone. I had planned to work on Bea’s first zone (the assets I already completed are for her second, since I had a very clear vision for it!) only to discover that I was actually missing some supplies I needed for it- I thought I had another black felt piece to use as the backdrop, and it turns out I do not. Easy enough to fix, but I didn’t end up with a chance to stop at a craft store between work and events.

I’m not really worried though- I can finish the zone I started and hopefully complete another over the next couple weeks. Work’s not slowing down, in fact it’s picking up even harder later this month, but before that I have a full weekend of dogsitting which has excluded me from picking up any other obligations outside of the house for a solid four days, in which most of my time will still be mine to do as I please- Thus, opportunity for creativity! What will I be working on?

One more zone’s assets
Finish the zone assets that I started in the first part of May
Finish all first convos for Tony
Finish all first convos for Cobalt
Fill in some small writing gaps

All quite doable. I might even get ambitious and start digitizing more, if I get the chance. So far, that process has gone quite well- Digitizing Tony’s was no problem, everything looked shockingly great with minimal modification! I was prepared to need to do a lot more editing in the process to get it to work visually, but the different parts have come together well after all.

I may not have anything from Artfight to leave you with, but I do have this cute little celebratory Bea I got from Soyokaze! A birthday gift~ Until next time, thank you for reading!

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...

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...
