So I got all the sprites in for the adoptable cats at the cat cafe. I had to edit each sprite with each accessory in each of its available colors for each cat and then put them into the sequence for customization.
Including the bonus options you get if you donate a total of $15 to the game budget, that came out to about 360 cat sprites I think. 10 base game cats and 10 bonus cats plus their accessory options.
Phew. Oh, that was the other thing; my Ko-Fi shop now has the option of buying extra cat options for adoption. The extras are fun things like ghost cats, robot cats, and unique colors. It's a set of 10 for $15 and you also get an extra cat slot - meaning you can adopt 2 cats instead of 1 (1 normal cat and one bonus cat).
You can use it as many times as you want (if you made a 2nd save file for example).
I might be able to work it around so that you can just have 2 bonus cats with the purchase instead of having to adopt a normal one first. It depends on whether enough people buy that and want that as an option I suppose.
The cat cafe pack will also play a special cutscene with Kage (it won't cause any stat changes like a normal cutscene though, because it's a cosmetic pack, and does not impact gameplay or change the story at all).
You can check out the pack at my Ko-Fi store!
I also fixed it so that the cat does not disappear immediately upon picking out a type of cat. Now you can at least see what your accessory you first picked out looks like on your new cat before it gets delivered to your apt. Also added the option to the wardrobe to just remove all accessories if you decide you want your cat unaccessorized.
And finally, as you can see in the video, I've reworked the color scheme in the cat cafe. It now starts as a wooden look by default and can be repainted to a few other options (once you have unlocked that feature in the game by hitting a certain level with Yurei).
Do you have plans to release a demo? Or are you going to wait and release the full game?
I'm going to release it in chapters, one rival at a time, starting with the Yurei route :) so I guess 3 chapters total is the current plan
White Day is next month!
If you gave your crush a Valentine on Valentine's Day, he'll give you something in return on White Day. The exact item will depend on the crush and other in-game choices you made prior to this moment.
But whatever it is, it'll be white 🤍
Working on more maps for 2-Headed Boy, testing player collision and currency checks etc. Since there are no ushers yet I can just walk up to the concert without paying, but that will change soon™
Also started writing the first meeting with Yurei into the game.
I wrote this poem for Kage:
I don't even know you. I don't know what you've been through.
What is it that you really feel? Why is it my heart you want to steal?
Please don't be so brash. All of your actions are so rash.
If you really love me, give me space, or I will flee.
No more stalking, or I'm done talking.
Do you understand? I'm being as nice as I can.
We can take things one day at a time. But, hold me captive, and you won't be mine.
Dang I love this :') Kage would probably
find it terrifying to be called out but he's not going to say that part out loud
Deny he's a stalker
Keep this poem forever
"Baby, hold my hand
Let me be your man
Let me take you away from the cold,
Baby be my diamonds and gold"
Just a brief check in here since I realize it's been almost a week since I posted any updates here; I took a couple of days off for some personal business but I am still working on the game. Unfortunately I don't have much to show for it at this time because it's story writing. I have written it into the game, arranged the chibi sprite movement routes and all that, but I haven't drawn any art for a while, so posting screenshots would be kind of boring, and I don't want to post a video sequence because I'm not trying to do too many spoilers here...
But please trust I'm still working! I've also added options for the player to do their own keybinds since RPG Maker defaults to arrow keys and z/x for select and cancel. I don't know if I mentioned that already on here, but I remember playing Omori and how awkward it felt to not be able to do the traditional WASD keyboard movement, so players can set things up that way if they want to from the options menu.
Also I got it set up so that you can type things into the game when prompted for things like naming your player or putting in a word or numbers rather than having to use arrow keys to scroll through an on-screen alphabet, because that's also annoying as hell imo. But mostly it's been writing I'm working on.
I hope to have something interesting to show you guys soon though, like actual screenshots or something, I just have to get back into drawing.
Oohhh weird question but will we occasionally catch a glimpse of Kage while moving around the map? Like when we go out to the shops does he follow us?
I'm very excited for this game 💕👑
There's always some evidence of him being not too far from the player, though I'm still looking at different ways to portray that, and it probably won't be just one thing or way of knowing.
I'm hoping to make some neat moments like that too though, where you can "spot him in the wild" :)
I am mom's spaghetti palms sweaty right now, was up into the wee hours of the morning with my game after realizing One Drive (Microsoft's "helpful" cloud syncing it pushes) was autosyncing all my game files (and other less important files) while I had them open working on them :')
I'll spare everyone the details of why that's bad but the tldr is it almost corrupted my whole game, but I fixed it and only lost some very basic formatting (in game menu adjustments and the font settings, which I am replacing anyway with something more readable). And a few small edits to some json files which again are easy to redo.
I already back up my game to a flash drive (yeah, I know I need to get Github) so I've banished One Drive from my desktop since there's no reason for it to be there.
Definitely don't recommend allowing One Drive to autosync files while you are actively working in any kind of database. Unfortunate that I didn't realize this was happening until it started giving me all these issues!
ignore the shitty camera quality but he's home 🫶🫶🫶 im so excited to put him on my fridge
Thank you everyone who got me to 100 reblogs!
2-Headed Boy is also on YouTube and TikTok! If anyone wants to help me out with getting a little visibility on those (especially YouTube, that one seems extra challenging) give me a follow/a like or 2 on those to help spread the good word!
And here is the TikTok :)
