Good Feeling,

omg it looks so good.... adding weather mechanics is super cool! does the weather affect anything/trigger any specific scene between the player and kage?

Thank you, the season changes of course do and I'm still brainstorming how to tie the weather into events in the game. Since it's randomized I can't do anything that would be drastically significant to the story. But I can work in something fun for that for sure, some smaller scenes or changes that give an opportunity for stat altering encounters

We are not thinking 'Move on From the Cats Already' it is an important thing that you said is important to one of the boys, so fleshing it out is necessary!

Thank you for all the work you put in, invest as much time as you want in anything you want, we're happy to be here!

Thanks so much :) yeah I might have been projecting my own anxiety on that one, lol

I'm glad people like the cats, I wanted one of the guys to have a soft spot for them because I thought it could make for some fun/wholesome moments. Gotta balance the yandere drama out some

And thank you for being here on this ride with me

Working on the Social Media menu for the love interests. As you learn more about each of them, their "Likes" and "Dislikes" sections will fill. Keep track of their stats here as well. (Shown stats are for display purposes only, not the real stats, still working on those).

Relationship status will change of course depending on whether or not you progress far along enough on that love interest's route. Otherwise they will all read "Single," except for your yandere, who will read "It's Complicated," because of course it is...

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

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.

Didn't get a whole lot done for 2-Headed Boy yesterday besides the 2 Kage sprites I posted last night and making adjustments to the game lighting for different times of the day/night. I hadn't really messed with it since implementing the "sun" into the game, but the base values weren't great. Night was too dark, sunrise/sunset were too red, etc.

It's looking better now and more subtle but still noticeable. 7pm at night in the game is shown. I will not be making days longer in the summer or nights longer in the winter, that would take me too long and I just don't want to spend more time on this part lol

Also started working on the crafting system, added more items into the game, assigned the ingredient items as ingredients so the game will recognize them for crafting etc. Will work on that more tonight and have something to show for it soon.

I'll try to draw another sprite or 2 as well

WOMEN's GAME FEST (Spring 2025)

A game jam from 2025-03-01 to 2025-05-01 hosted by EVERIUM & Crystal Game Works. English WOMEN's GAME FEST is a celebration of games made fo

Wow this it a very ambitious project for one person. Have you made a game before or is this your first one?

Yeah it is definitely ambitious, but thankfully there are a lot of plugins and community support (if I get stuck and have a question) to help streamline a lot of it. And I'm not drawing my own map assets, those are purchased. Music is a mix of assets I donated for and someone I know making it.

So you'll see in the credits more people than me, I guess technically I'm not doing it all alone! I just don't have a team of people, so I do all the programming and scripting for the actual gameplay, map design, writing, character design/art and piecing it all together.

I have made one much smaller game before just to learn the basics of game logic and my software, which it turns out is mostly super intuitive, at least with RPG Maker. I've never released anything though.
