If anyone remembers me posting a few days ago that I have a major update on my yandere boyfriend RPG "2-Headed Boy" coming, I'm just here to say I am hoping to have enough of it finished to show some footage by tomorrow!
omg i love your drawing style so much 😻😻😻 is it digital art? the way you shade the hair actually blows me away
Oh wow thank you T^T 🩶
I hand draw my stuff and scan it in. Usually it's some combination of pen ink, alcohol based marker, and colored pencil. And once in a while acrylic paint.
Anyway not to be dramatic but I'm off to die of happiness now
A small carnival area for Midnight City. I still need to blend out the gradient on the ambient light for the night time Ferris wheel. And make the interior map for the haunted house.
Also considering putting a clock on the Ferris wheel, but I'm not sure if that would cause lag or not...still thinking about that one.
Concept art for yandere, Kage. Just messy marker sketches for now
Phew, ok I'm finally ready to share the thing I've been working on. I suck at making videos but here is a demonstration trailer of my character creator I set up for the game, which I'm now calling 2-Headed Boy, and finally has a title screen (and I think I need to thicken the line on the "2" in the logo...). Now the player can have more customization options for their MC.
First pick your name, then some pronouns, then your appearance. Look masculine, feminine, some kind of mixture or androgynous, pretty much up to you. Choose your skin tone, eye color/style, eyebrow style/color, hairstyle/color(s) (or be bald), ears (or be earless), clothes and accessories (or run around in your underwear, idc). Tails and wings are optional.
The clothes are a mess right now, I need to go back and re-align all the portrait busts so I don't have to have a bunch of repositioned versions of the same outfit for different busts. And I need more outfits, these are default clothing/accessory assets I just redrew for my sprites.
Also I plan to add color shifters in for the ears and tails, and also put in human ears and maybe elf ears??
I know the neck category is super weird, the neck and head were a solid piece when I started, but I couldn't get the hair to layer properly with the faces so I had to sever the head from the neck.
If you have any requests/suggestions about outfits, accessories, ears, tails etc. lmk in my asks or comments! I will do my best to implement them...later. I need a break from working on the generator to focus on other parts of the game :)
Kage's sprite samples. Actual size 48x48px.
I don't want to think about how many times I remade these before deciding on a simple design

Story and gameplay concepts below! vvv
You have been staying in Japan after traveling there for a highly advanced medical procedure. Your only friend, Koyomi, sees how isolated you have become here, and is encouraging you to get into dating. She offers to introduce you to the sweet, normal, well-adjusted single guys she knows in your apartment complex. But for whatever reason, she doesn't seem to want you to meet Kage, your next-door neighbor.
"There's something really off about him. If you decide to talk to him, obviously I can't stop you. Just...please be careful. He's really...fragile."
Every choice you make with/towards your yandere neighbor will have a disproportionately larger impact on him than all the other dating "options," for better or worse. Also, be careful about the other "options." Every choice you make with them also affects Kage.
Build your guys' stats through interactions and cute dates. Figure out what they like and make them cute gifts. Witness Kage become increasingly unhinged and navigate the fallout of his wacky antics.
What you say, do, don't say or don't do all matter. Especially to your yandere!
Why has he latched on to you so tightly? Reach the "true ending" to find out, along with answers to other questions raised along the way.
Choose your name, gender, and appearance. Choose your birthday for some fun birthday surprises. Choose your guy, or guys. But remember Koyomi's advice: be really careful with Kage. He's fragile.
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
Hey love the updates so far!! I had two questions (if its okay and you want to answer)
Are the other suitors aware of Kage before our MC comes into the picture and what are their opinions of him? Is he kinda just thought of a loner/creep by everyone or do they have a different view?
I also saw that in some stills Kage appears to be in our house, can we do things like cook for him or even give him gifts like the other suitors?
Hey thank you :) the other guys are aware of him to varying degrees, since they all live in the same apartment complex as MC/player, they have at least seen him around. Yugen is more "aware" of him than the other 2 rival guys/suitors, as in he knows more about Kage where the other 2 just know he lives in the apartment complex.
Yes, they all see him as a creep, as he not only avoids all of them but kind of just always has a hostile expression/looks unapproachable, and they all get a sense something is seriously off with him.
I think the stills you're referring to are actually the player in Kage's apartment. They all have the same floor plan and even wallpaper iirc so they look similar but have different furniture/decorations.
You can give Kage things and do things for him the same as the other guys, yeah :) it gets a bit... messy because one of the guys will always be a "rival" to him since everyone is worried for MC's safety in relation to Kage ^^; but yeah you totally can
Here's the first part of the Midnight City Mall for 2-Headed Boy, my yandere boyfriend RPG WIP!
This floor features ATMs for withdrawing funds/reviewing your bank balance (funds are deposited to your account once per in-game week cycle), as well as a crane game for winning plushies to give to your love interest(s). 5 different plushies creatures each available in multiple version for a total of 20 plushies. Different love interests like different plushies.
Also features a photo booth (usable with love interests), still figuring out exactly how I want to implement that part.
A lounge area with some paintings, and a food court with some oddball clerks. A variety of menu options are available. Figure out what foods your love interests like and have a lunch date.
Eating food/beverages also replenishes your "Spoons," a points meter that depletes with social activity in the game at varying degrees depending on the activity and how things are going with your love interest. Certain foods/beverages also provide different buffs. Still working on this part!
You guys I am actually tearing up rn, it feels like someone is giving my heart a tight hug ;_; thank you everyone for donating and believing in me, I'm gonna try my best to make this game awesome for everyone
And to the people who made especially chunky donations, you're definitely on my list for if I am able to do some kind of extra special reward in the future it will 100% apply retroactively
