The sprites are so charming… reminds me of quotev wwffy/cyoa quizzes with people‘s oc art
Interesting, you know I've never done any of those, but it's a fun concept, using a quiz layout to make a choose your own adventure 🤔
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 🤍
I don't know if this has been asked before, but why did you decide to name it 2 headed boy?
Oh cool question :)
It's in reference to the poster boy of the game (the "yandere"), Kage, for a few reasons. To describe the duality of his nature (he has sort of "Jekyl/Hyde" mood shifts) and how he tends to "split" on the player throughout interactions.
He often sees the player in extremes of all good or all bad, and feels things very intensely (though the "all bad" moments are more temporary unless you're really relentless with building his toxicity and anxiety stats).
He's "of two minds," when it comes to how he thinks the player feels about him, which is a consistent source of his anxiety that can be mitigated with varying degrees of success by the player (or made worse).
And then finally, it's also the name of 2 songs by Neutral Milk Hotel, 2 Headed Boy parts 1 and 2, and I think the lyrics of both songs also really fit his overall vibe. Especially part 2
What software you use for making the game?
It's RPG Maker MV :)
Tldr I'm 98% sure I'll be able to get stuff like Steam achievements working in my game as well as stuff like checking for DLC ownership if the game ever gets popular enough to warrant a DLC.
Also this is Yurei's apartment so far, he needs more furniture! And I gotta adjust the alignment of a mirror so he can have a bathroom mirror without it clipping into the sink or ceiling.
Long boring version: I got basically nothing done on 2-Headed Boy yesterday, found out Steam's API integration thing only supports C++ and if you want Steam features on your Steam game that's programmed in a different language, you basically gotta use a 3rd party service, the website for the one they list as commonly used for my engine was down of course.
But thankfully the RM community came in clutch once again, and someone wrote up a thorough tutorial on a community forum, including a zip file with all the files I needed to update my engine and game etc. for Steam integration. So that's what I did yesterday. And worked my job too, dumb I know but I got bills to pay 🫠
Hiya! I'm excited for the game! It all looks amazing. The art, characters, story! I love Kage! Especially his yandere~
I like the saying:
I can fix him I can make him worse.
I was wondering what inspired you to make the game? Or the inspiration of the characters?
Again, good job on the game! I'm rooting for you!!! Sending you all my support!
Blargh you've hit me right in the feels here, I'm so glad you like Kage and the game ;w;
The neat thing about this game is that "I can fix him (or make him worse)" is kind of a core concept/overall theme of it, though in kind of an unusual way that I don't want to reveal online since it would spoil it a bit. But I think you will enjoy the game (I hope)!
The game inspiration is a little weird. It was just over a month ago that I started this, not too long after finishing the game Omori, which is also an indie game made in the same engine that I am using for my game (Omori is actually how I learned about this game engine's existence).
If you're unfamiliar with Omori, mental health and trauma are major themes in the game, and I loved how they combined that with sweet and sentimental themes too. It was just a really touching game that hit close to home to me. My game is definitely very different, but does deal with mental health/trauma and uses the same engine.
The other inspiration is going to sound terrible, but I was literally searching online for yandere games to play, and of course the first one that popped up in searches was Yandere Simulator, and since I literally live in a cave I didn't know about it. I went to the game's website and wasn't really impressed with it, didn't care for the art or design or any of it, the only thing I liked was the idea of playing as a yandere and stalking your crush, but it sounds like the game is stuck forever in demo/testing mode and won't ever be finished anyway.
Also the lack of male yanderes was disappointing, but whatever, not every game is made for me. :) But I thought, wouldn't it be cute to go the other way with it, and make a game where YOU are being stalked by a yandere who is obsessed with you...? I did find a TON of visual novels online that have that as a theme, but I personally prefer RPG style games where there is some gameplay and you can move your character around, so I decided to go for that instead, from what I can see there are way less of those available with a male yandere stalker. In fact, I haven't found ANY so far, but I probably just didn't look hard enough.
Kage is kind of an externalized (and somewhat exaggerated) expression of all my own weird traumas, insecurities, and issues, which isn't something I'm super proud of but also something I've had to work really to overcome, which I AM proud of. He's like my "shadow" self if you're familiar with Jungian psychology, which is why I named him "Kage," it's just Japanese for "shadow" lol.
Sorry, that was a really long-winded response so...thanks for the question and coming to my TedTalk...and for your support <3
Only the review for the Steam page, not the game, I'm not that fast D: But hopefully they approve my page and I don't have to make 10,000 revisions or anything
Wowowow I didn't think people would actually donate without some kind of tier rewards or something but I've once again underestimated humanity, that's 3 donors
You guys are real human beings ❤️🩹
Will we be able to adopt the cats at the cat cafe?
Yes! I am thinking at minimum the player can adopt at least one cat. Maybe more, I'm not sure yet, the cafe is still in its infancy but yes you can def have a cat
First floor of the carnival's haunted house, just testing the animation here. Cute little mouse eyes in the wall holes, painting eyes on upper floor do that cheesy follow you around thing, lightning windows, haunted couch, and the ceiling is leaking blood a little bit.
Will work on this more later but I'm probably gonna focus more on cat cafe for now, I mainly needed to start this for a screenshot for the Steam page :)
Donation option to help me recoup the Steam application fee for 2-Headed Boy. All donors will have the name they listed upon donation in the game credits of course 🤍
I know I said haunted house was next, but I decided to start the cat cafe first. Working on the haunted house today though. (Also cat cafe isn't done, obviously there has to be more cats etc.)
Since Steam wants a minimum of 5 screenshots, I'm trying to get a little more map variety for that so it doesn't look like the whole game takes place on a handful of maps. After I get something presentable for the haunted house I think that will give me enough to submit my upcoming game page to them for review!
Thank you for the support!! 🤍 my 2nd donor!
Trailer for 2-Headed Boy, free to play yandere boyfriend RPG for PC, no release date but Steam page coming soon™ up now for wishlists!
You're doing great hun!!! Keep it up! ^_^👍
Tysm 🤍!
You're not a literal nobody, thank you for putting so much time and effort into making such a beautiful game, omg ;-;
Nnng my heart
It's h a p p e n i n g
Will probably be up all night working on my Steam page stuff
I LOVE THE GAME IDEA SO MUCH HOLY SHIIIIYTT
So anyways. Geeking out rn. So fucking COOLL
-🍏
Oh wow thank you! I'm so happy people like the idea. It really motivates me to consistently work on it!
Went back and did a little work on the character creator for 2-Headed Boy, just on the hue shifters to improve color selection.
Before "tan" skin looked too much like an orange spray tan. So I adjusted that to make it more natural looking and named it "medium." Also added an olive tone.
I added grey and brown to the eye color options and fixed the green so it looks less neon (there's still a bright green option though). Made yellow actually look yellow instead of light orange.
I have more work to do on this of course, the biggest thing being clothing and accessory options as I'm not crazy about the placeholder assets I have for those :/
Working on weather effects for 2-Headed Boy, added some fog to the city map (or maybe it's just pollution, let's be real)
New shop added for the Midnight City Mall in 2-Headed Boy, upcoming free to play yandere boyfriend RPG.
Buy candy, eat trash, be free
Yeah, that's right. I can tell how many bunnies you've destroyed just by looking at you.
Thank you @abrokecupoftea you the real mvp :3 this is going straight back into the game 🩶
do you wanna pick the next map I make, between the interior of the haunted house at the carnival or the interior for the cat cafe? Donor's choice (I also already spent some of the $ on some more pixels for designing another mall shop, should have footage of that posted tonight)
So excited to say that I took the leap yesterday and paid the $100 fee to publish a Steam page for 2-Headed Boy! Started the application process but I am waiting for them to verify my identity and tax info before I can even start making the page.
No release date set for this yet since I'm only a month into this project, but the entire internet and Steam itself seems to think it's never too early to get your page up.
I hope it's worth it and people like the game ;w; while I'm doing this for the love of creation and not money, I wouldn't hate it if anyone wanted to pitch in on the Steam fee either (I've actually sunk a few hundred into this already between software programs, plug-ins, assets, art supplies, a basic light box etc.)
Anyway if anyone feels so inclined to contribute please follow the link below 🩶
More work on the Valentine's Day event for 2-Headed Boy.
