Expanded the arcade area a little, and if you read the text box there you'll see which new map I'll be working on next! After adding the final love interest, anyway.
Also added 3 new shops to the mall, the electronics store, noodle shop and a shoe boutique, for more gift options for your love interest.
Also added the grocery store. There's not much to buy there yet, but I plan on adding in the ingredients for the cooking system to that shop, so you can make little treats for the love interests. ...Don't let your yandere find out you're doing that though.
Other than that just kind of worked on optimizing map transfers to make them less janky. Oh, and not shown here but I started working on the holiday event things too!
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.
lol I'm glad you like my ask! im so impressed with your art because i genuinely couldn't tell if it was traditional or digital because it looked like pencil/pen but the hair had really cool layering!!! so it's really interesting to see how it looks compared to a colored background...
speaking of which is the background also hand drawn and then uploaded as well? sorry for the ramble haha but im very interested in your yan boy
Thank you kind stranger ;w; I have to assume you're talking about the "map" of the game since Kage doesn't have backgrounds. But I'm also a bit dense and haven't eaten yet so maybe I'm misunderstanding you.
Anyway, the map tiles are done by a variety of extremely talented Japanese pixel artists. I purchased some of their work for the game & will be listing them in the game credits of course!!
Tysm friends I'm only like 4 days old on here.
Great motivation to keep working on my yandere boyfriend game 🩶
Reminder to take a break and drink some water!
p.s your working on the game rather quickly from what I’ve seen with developers it can take months / years to get to the point you’ve shown us and your doing amazing! Be careful of getting burnt out tho!
Oh wow ty :> I feel like I still have so far to go, like I'm still in the phase of laying the foundation for the game I guess, getting all the menus set up and working through mechanics, making maps, adding assets...
I've done a bit of writing the story into the game, but I decided to backpedal a bit with that progress as I feel there are likely more efficient ways to do certain things in the story and just within the engine, and I'll know those methods if I get the other parts set up first y'know?
But once that part is all done I can really just focus more on writing and drawing, and any future installments should theoretically take less time than the initial release since the framework will already be there.
As far as burnout, for sure! It probably doesn't seem like it but I do try to take time for myself too. It was finally nice outside today so I took a nice long motorcycle ride, since my lungs haven't recovered enough yet from being sick for a bicycle ride. And of course I took breaks to just wander around and enjoy the sunlight 🤍
2-Headed Boy is also on YouTube and TikTok! If anyone wants to help me out with getting a little visibility on those (especially YouTube, that one seems extra challenging) give me a follow/a like or 2 on those to help spread the good word!
And here is the TikTok :)
Just a small update. Tuesday was minimal progress, just configured a few more plugins and set up an in-game credits page that's accessible from the start menu (setting it up now so I can more easily track everyone I need to give credit to; I've also hyperlinked back to contributor websites when one is provided).
There's one newly added plugin I'm particularly looking forward to, as it will allow the game to use the player's custom character portrait to make different facial expressions depending on the choices you make during conversations.
Also set up text macros for every time I have to use a pronoun in a sentence while writing to save some time. Since the player picks that at the beginning, I had to assign "he" "she" or "they" to a variable, and then write an evaluation that would assign the appropriate pronoun *and form of it* (she, her, hers, his, him, them, their, etc.) within the context of any sentence I wrote that included it...every time it would come up in writing. The macros are already saving me a ton of time with writing, so that's been pretty nice.
I'm not gonna show the whole intro scene for meeting Yurei, but I got the bulk of that written last night too. Although I still have to draw his sprites for it, so even if I showed the whole scene here it would just be chibis talking to each other. And set up a way to "sit" at the bench seats in the cat café, since I wanted that for a cutscene, and unfortunately customizable player characters mean I won't be able to have player sprites make unique poses like actually sitting.
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

Added another small QoL feature for 2-Headed Boy. Now you can press a hotkey to access a message backlog and review the last 20 40 messages you've read in the game. Just in case you miss some dialogue, or want to review what was said, see what dialogue choices you chose, etc.
I might need to increase the backlog to more than 20 messages though. I did end up increasing this to 40, will see if that's a good amount when playtesting.
Also wrote more dialogue for the White Day scene that triggers with Kage if you got a White Day gift from Yurei (which only happens if you gave Yurei something on Valentine's Day, of course).
