I know I said haunted house was next, but I decided to start the cat cafe first. Working on the haunted house today though. (Also cat cafe isn't done, obviously there has to be more cats etc.)
Since Steam wants a minimum of 5 screenshots, I'm trying to get a little more map variety for that so it doesn't look like the whole game takes place on a handful of maps. After I get something presentable for the haunted house I think that will give me enough to submit my upcoming game page to them for review!

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.
Honestly it's just super cool you give us the option to choose clothes, you don't have to put stats on them if you don't want to, that seems like a lot of work for you 🥺
Hey thank you, honestly I think I needed a voice of reason here, and you're probably right. I would probably have to figure out balancing and stuff for the clothes if I did that. I'm hoping to give these as "mission rewards" so adding stats to them really could get too complicated.

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!
Working on more maps for 2-Headed Boy, testing player collision and currency checks etc. Since there are no ushers yet I can just walk up to the concert without paying, but that will change soon™
Also started writing the first meeting with Yurei into the game.
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)
Made a few hoodie sprite versions of sweet baby Kage for 2-Headed Boy. It's not much, I'm still trying to kind of piece parts of my life together, so I appreciate everyone's patience. And as some of you have said, progress is still progress!
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.
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 :)
Yesterday I added the actual mechanics into the game for leveling up the cats at the café, and added a feather toy. Each cat activity makes 1 hour of in-game time pass per round (but in reality takes less than a minute). No worries though, when you're not doing specific activities, time passes normally in the game (1 minute in game is 1 real life minute etc.). So no need to rush.
You may or may not be thinking, sheesh just move on from the cats already and get back to work on the main point of this game; dating and yandere harassment! To which I say:
I'm sorry
I will be working on more of the hand drawn sprites of the guys for White Day events next
Kage meltdown is coming soon
Please look forward to it
