I started adding shops and items beyond just the food court to the Midnight City Mall, plus a few aimlessly wandering NPCs.
There's the book/plushie store and clothing store made so far, planning an electronic store and a shoe store next, along with a little noodle shop. Unfortunately all the items besides food are only gifts for your love interests for now (you can't equip clothing and have your character change outfits). Maybe after I release the game I'll patch that in, but for now I'm trying to mainly focus on features that directly impact gameplay/the storylines (gifts being a mechanic for boosting stats with love interests).
I also have a crafting/cooking system, and those gifts give better stat boosts with the love interests than shopping, but I haven't implemented the recipes/ingredients for those yet.
Also I finally actually put the banking system into the ATMs. Player gets a fixed amount of money every Friday deposited to their account, so you will need to budget somewhat in-game. Will add small ways to make extra money too at some point!
"Well, I love you so much...
But do me a favor, baby don't reply
Because I can dish it out, but I can't take it"
See my face when I slide through,
Every place I will find you
Every time we fell apart,
Girl, I see it in the scars
Added another love interest/rival to yandere for my yandere boyfriend RPG. New guy is Shinkiro (black hair), birthday August 24. Unlike Yurei (white haired glasses boy), Shinkiro is more outgoing and shameless. Yurei will try to avoid the yandere, and try to convince the player to also avoid him, pointing out his toxic behaviors. Shinkiro will deliberately antagonize yandere boy by flirting/being openly affectionate with the player in front of him.
Featuring a fully customizable MC for the player (gender, appearance, name, birthday and more). Free to play, WIP.
Yeah, that's right. I can tell how many bunnies you've destroyed just by looking at you.
Sprite sheet for new LI Shinkiro is finished, here's a sample of him running! Yurei is next, then I'll do the design for the 3rd love interest option. Still gotta finish the mall too.
there’s text based games/interactive novels on cogdemos(dot)ink too if you’re into that! but I’m not sure if there’s much yandere stuff there… personally I mostly replay nightfall: blackview high since the game was moved to that site…
Dang younger me would have been all over that. I've pretty much sold my soul to this game at this point 🙃 maybe someday I'll have free time again.
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.
Reworked the game scene I made yesterday, added a panel, resized some stuff, made Kage's panels semi-transparent since that seemed to make more sense for the context of him being in another location from the player, and recolored his hair. Still didn't fix the options menu though, I don't want to decrease the font size because it will be hard to read I think. So that means going in and messing with the menu panel's height I think...
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 🤔
Which platform do you use for coding the game :O also any interest in helpers? Both art and coding
Honestly it requires such a minimal amount of coding. I do have to use Javascript for some parts of it due to the limitations of the engine, which is designed for beginners like me (rpg maker mv).
I never imagined anyone would offer to help. This community has been so supportive so far it blows my mind. I'm in such an early stage of things I'm not sure I am ready to bring any help in yet but that could absolutely change...I might just come crawling into your asks/DMs sometime and checking to see if you're still interested. It would probably be art if I did need help I am guessing?
What programming language(s) do you use btw?
So I was feeling like a couple of those donations were like...freakishly generous and I wanted to give something back to the donors. I've sent them both a way to redeem items on my shop I just opened a few minutes ago on Ko-Fi, and I have a little tier system now for donations (see the pinned post, it's been updated).
So if anyone is feeling outrageously generous, feel free to check the store page. Tier 2 of my 4 tiers is still a WIP/not available in the store yet as it's a cosmetic in-game item, and it's related to what I'm currently working on in the game, so I'll probably be able to code it in tonight and get the item listed on my shop tomorrow.
Tier 1 is still just the normal donate option/not a shop item, to send $5 and have your name in the credits.
Thanks again for checking out my free to play game, which you can now wish list on Steam!
