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

A walking tour of MC's grimy neighborhood in the fictional town of Midnight City, the main setting for my upcoming F2P yandere boyfriend game, "I Can Fix Him!"

As you can see, the game starts in autumn, and will include maps for all 4 seasons as well as time mechanics, day/night cycles, and time/season-dependent events (including your chosen birthday)! Also, random weather. In this map loaded, it decided to rain.

Using the redheaded female sprite for this footage. 4 hair colors available, male or female playable avatar, 4 planned skin tones for each. More customization options in the works! See my more recent post regarding the custom character generator!

Map design and layout by me as well as the sprites, character design and art. All other pixel assets on this map are by Kaue Luchetta and Grayfax software.

abrokecupoftea just bought 2-Headed Boy a Forbidden Candy on Ko-fi! ❤️

Ko-fi lets you support creators you love with donations, memberships and shop sales!

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)

Don't know his skin tone so made a rough sketch fan art without it :DD

Back to working on the customization options for the character creator at the start of the game. Working on getting more clothing options and accessories in (getting rid of the ugly placeholder hats etc.). See this post and this older one for more info on that.

Also got rid of the weird giant red flowers that were locked to the twin tail hair before. Kind of made it hard to accessorize that hairstyle when those were already "built-in."

And obviously you can be a variety of colors in terms of skin/hair/eyes, these are just "base values" shown that hues can be shifted from in the generator.

I've added more in than this but I didn't feel like making samples of all the new stuff.

Also made the Save menu a little more user-friendly, like showing information on each unique save file (like the in-game location you saved at, amount of $ on that save, in-game date and time and which characters you've met, in case anyone wants multiple save files and needs to keep track of them without having to load a save just to see where they are). RPG Maker also doesn't come built-in with an option to delete a save file from the save menu for some reason, so that's been added too.

EDIT Also, none of the clothing or hair options are locked to the body types, but some of the outfits might not layer properly on certain types (mainly the largest body type with broader shoulders will clip through a lot of the smaller-framed clothes). Unfortunate but that's a limitation of working with 2-D pixel art

Concept art for yandere, Kage. Just messy marker sketches for now

Made hoodie and tank top versions of Kage's chibi sprites. The face set next to that is for Koyomi, childhood friend of the MC. She'll be introducing the player to the various "love interests" (aka Kage rivals)

Finishing up the Yurei intro today too. Will try to work on a few other things, maybe some sprite art or something

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!

To the anon who asked if the cats at the cafe are adoptable, here's a small demo of how that will work. You can adopt only once/one cat per save file.

But what you can do an infinite amount of times is change your cat's accessory, so if you gave it a collar and later want to have it wear a bow or flower, or change the color of the bow/flower/collar, you can do that any time from your apartment wardrobe.

Before you can adopt a cat you have to get it to a friendly status with you at the cafe, by playing with it (use the laser pointer, I'll probably add a feather toy or something too).

Cat cafe is a key element of boyfriend option Yurei's route; playing with the cats and adopting one will get you points with him. More on that later!

I'm also working on a little special something for people who donate to the game, that will be related to cat cafe.

Unrelated note here, I don't know how many people have been paying attention to the in-game clock in the videos, but some may have noticed that before it was moving like...crazy fast, a second for a minute. I realize that would make crazy pacing in the game and probably be stressful. Right now I have it set to pass in real time, so a minute in the game takes a minute in real life.

BUT you can fast forward time with various in game activities so you're not time-gated (you can skip 8 hours by sleeping, or 2 hours with a nap, as a couple of examples).

Edit: Also, time passage is not tied to your computer's clock or anything like that. Time doesn't pass in the game unless you are actually running the game (it's not like Animal Crossing for example, where time passes in the game whether you are playing or not).

1st of all in the sprite where kage turns away I thought his lower back was showing? Didn’t look closely + the text box placement made me think his shirt had ridden up or he was wearing a crop top lol

2ndly does the game take place in the uk? Asking cause of the use of cunt

1. nope no crop tops here lol

2. Also no, cunt is just a great word, game is in a fictional setting
