Reworked The Game Scene I Made Yesterday, Added A Panel, Resized Some Stuff, Made Kage's Panels Semi-transparent

My darling,

When you smile

It is like a song...

And I can hear it now

You're doing great hun!!! Keep it up! ^_^👍

Tysm 🤍!

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

He wishes you would :/

I spent most of my project time yesterday researching some specific things about the game's engine, like whether a certain mechanic would be possible etc. It all came back as good news, though I can't say what all of it was since it would kind of spoil some of the fun in playing to know ahead of time.

But what I can say is that I think I'll be able to release the game in installments and people should be able to carry their save files over between each of them, which is one thing I wasn't sure would be possible. It will just require a little bit of planning ahead of time on my part, since adding certain things to a new installment would break old save files (mainly plugins or certain types of scripts requiring data initialization at startup).

So as long as I make sure all the plugins I want to use for the game are already implemented at the first launch, there shouldn't be any problems with people playing the whole thing across one save file through multiple releases/"expansions" or whatever. And of course, I can't delete anything from the new installments that already existed in the former ones.

So that's exciting, because it means I can release a playable game sooner, though I still don't have a release timeframe set yet. What I would like to do is release 1 love interest route at a time, starting with Yurei. And obviously Kage will be in that first release and all subsequent ones because he just won't fucking leave you alone

Updated logo for 2-Headed Boy, my under development F2P yandere boyfriend RPG.

For anyone following my yandere boyfriend rpg project progress, it's gonna be quiet on my page for a few days. I've got a *big* feature I'm working to implement that I think people will be excited about and I'm still trying to get it to all work together.

In the meantime, please accept this sweet heart from your sweetheart

Fixed the sprites for love interest Shinkiro, I accidentally made his skin peach-colored before. Now he's grey, just as God intended. Or y'know, whoever.

"Baby, hold my hand

Let me be your man

Let me take you away from the cold,

Baby be my diamonds and gold"

hii! I was wondering if you were looking for an artist for your game? ^_^ so sorry if this seems rude

Hey no worries, thank you for offering but this is going to stay a solo project :) I have purchased art from other artists who will be in the credits (pixel art that has been designed with the game's engine in mind), but I'm not actually working "with" anyone in a team.

The logistics of that would be a nightmare for all involved as I'm terrible at coordinating with people, have completely erratic hours/no sleep schedule etc.

You are all too nice to me, a literal nobody ;w;
