Entropic Float

         This update's art is from  Hirabi on skeb!  Jazz is lovely, isn't she? An individual with a sense of performance! She may be an academic, but that doesn't mean the world can't be a stage for her. When you play the game, I think you may end up being surprised by her- I know I was when I was writing! And speaking of writing, let's get right into the progress this cycle... Writing: 18/31 standard segments. As expected, only three of these this week thanks to some other circumstances- But this still takes us past the halfway point in this category! 34/36 Memory Seeking segments. Eleven since last time, and only two of these left to go! Just in time for the NVL-styled standard segments to start being written when I'm away from my desk, too. We're now at 52/74 segments of the Miracle Route. Just 22 segments left to write before I can get the miracle route to my beta testers! Background Music: I've added four new OST tracks from musical artists on sk...

        This update's art is from  Mada on skeb!  A cute little chibi of Rashmi to brighten up your day. As far as the characters in Entropic Float go, Rashmi is probably the most evident of my own character design sensibilities. Short fluffy hair, oversized jackets... Something about that combination, I'm a big fan of it! And oh boy, do I hate how often characters have 'future designs' or 'makeovers' that take perfectly nice fluffy hair and turn it into a straight bob. Anyway, now you know that about me! Let's get into something that matters; My work on the game these past two weeks. Writing: Let's get counting... 15/31 standard segments. I wrote eight more, rocketing my numbers up to nearly halfway in the standard category! I'm pretty pleased with this progress, since the standard sections represent more work than the Memory Seeking ones in regards to programming. 23/36 Memory Seeking segments. Six since the last update~ It could've been more, ...

       This update's art is from  Ham Mug on skeb!  Fair warning, this artist does a lot of NSFW art. It's hidden by default if you're not logged in/haven't changed your settings on skeb, but I figured I would disclaim that first! This Madeline really looks amazing. She's so powerful... Though she's a 'side character' to the narrative of Entropic Float, she's a personal favorite of mine! Fun fact, she started out as a fancharacter for Magical Girl Raising Project, but I fell in love with the design and had to repurpose her for an original work~ My progress since last time is pretty solid, so let's go ahead and get right into that! Writing: The majority of what I've done since last time is writing! How much writing? 7/31 standard segments. I misread my own outline last time, and turns out I had 3, not 2, completed at the time. The four segments since then are three puzzle rooms and the landing section between those and the next three. I have 1...

      This update's art on display is from Hiyoyo on skeb ! Touko is so cute, isn't she? I've learned from spending time on skeb that she's actually a very appealing character! I've received several requests of people who want to draw her... I'm curious if that's a Japan-specific kind of appeal, or if the english-speaking audience also thinks that she's adorable? Food for thought! My progress since last time isn't the best, unfortunately. Things keep coming up on my weekends... Even when it's good things (it's not always, but often is) there's part of me which just wants to work. Suffering from success. Don't they know the gamedev way is to hermit oneself away for months on end with no regard to maintaining your social circle?? Well, let's get into what I have  accomplished since last time. Writing: I'm doing away with the progress bars for this section because, frankly, I just think it would be annoying. The good news is, I w...

     Here in update fourteen, we've got some lovely chibis of the protagonists by Cabbage Roll on skeb ! You might even be able to look forward to seeing these cuties on some merchandise someday. Merch? For a game that has no following yet? Well, sure! Because I'm going to be representing Starfield Gaming at Connecticon 2022! Semi-Exclusive merch for both Entropic Float and Heart Fragment will be available there, with any leftovers becoming available for sale online post-con. I'll share more details about this exciting event as it draws nearer! With that aside, you're not here to hear about far-off conventions. You're here to hear about the progress I've made on the game! And oh boy, it's a big one. Writing: 54/54 segments!! That's right, I've finished the normal routes! I'm still not even entirely sure how I'll structure tracking my progress through the Miracle Route, but I'm making that outline later today, so I should be able to share ...

    Lucky number Thirteen. The art this week was commissioned from  Mikoko on skeb! Doesn't she look lovely and peaceful here? It's been a character trait of Stephanie for a long time that she has an 'unnatural beauty'. Seriously, I made the very first version of her character a whole decade ago! She's hardly the same character at all anymore, but if I showed you early art of her, you'd definitely recognize her visual design. The Rashmi Night Route has some promising scenes in store for Stephanie, too, so we're back to featuring art that suits the progress. Without further ado, here's what that progress is! Writing: 49/54 segments. I only ended up writing one... Well, more like one and a half. I just wasn't going to be able to finish writing that first puzzle room today and still have the time to write this update! Luckily, writing wasn't my focus this development cycle anyway, and I bet I'll more than make up for it in the next two weeks. Ta...

   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...
