EF2 June Update: Progress In The Face Of Minimal Free Time!

 Hello everybody! It has been, frankly, a rough few weeks over here- I tabled at Rhode Island Anime Con, sandwiched right in between two weeks of overtime. When I wrote this period’s list of goals, I was optimistic about what I’d be able to get done when I arrived at yesterday… And as one might imagine, I didn’t exactly have it in me to buckle down and complete tasks at the tail end of all that. I got some household stuff done, and that’s about all I had in me. So, what’s the list looking like?


  • Another character zone: Not done, started on Bea’s a bit but could not get into the flow, and a minor injury at work made it a lot harder to hold the felting needle- don’t worry, all healed now.

  • Digitize at least one zone as well: Done! I actually DID get into the flow on this and digitized two, so that’s one less task for next dev period.

  • Finish all first convos for Jane: Not quite done. All her first convos with other characters are, but there are two more just between her and Ame that need to be written to mark this complete.

  • Finish at least 3 other convos: This one is done though!


So, not entirely a bust, despite it all. It’s unfortunate to say as well that things are not slowing down nearly as much as I’d like within the next few weeks- while I’m no longer hitting overtime, that job still has me scheduled for twice as many hours as I’m supposed to be next week, another job dropped a bunch of work on me without consulting me about availability or locations at all, and I’ve got another table coming up at Portcon Maine. Even so, I’ll set the goals and strive for them!


  • Two more character zones (Bea’s that I started earlier, and one more)

  • Implement a zone

  • Implement the voice acting that I have


I do have these goals in mind, but also, artfight is approaching! So I’ll need to spend some time preparing for that as well. As much as it pains me each year to step away from actively working on EF2 in the month of July, I do find it a net benefit to hone my skills while also getting some fun pieces of the characters to share with you here! If you want to make an art trade with me next month, you can find me here: https://artfight.net/~nhitori 


Though, if things keep being chaotic in my everyday life, there’s no guarantee I’ll keep up there either, but I’m going to try! And I’ll leave you with another attack I received in 2024 of Greta by luucalio~


In any case, I’ll be doing my best with everything. Thank you, as always, for reading- I’ll see you next time!

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...
