Added Another Small QoL Feature For 2-Headed Boy. Now You Can Press A Hotkey To Access A Message Backlog

Hiya! I'm excited for the game! It all looks amazing. The art, characters, story! I love Kage! Especially his yandere~

I like the saying:

I can fix him I can make him worse.

I was wondering what inspired you to make the game? Or the inspiration of the characters?

Again, good job on the game! I'm rooting for you!!! Sending you all my support!

Blargh you've hit me right in the feels here, I'm so glad you like Kage and the game ;w;

The neat thing about this game is that "I can fix him (or make him worse)" is kind of a core concept/overall theme of it, though in kind of an unusual way that I don't want to reveal online since it would spoil it a bit. But I think you will enjoy the game (I hope)!

The game inspiration is a little weird. It was just over a month ago that I started this, not too long after finishing the game Omori, which is also an indie game made in the same engine that I am using for my game (Omori is actually how I learned about this game engine's existence).

If you're unfamiliar with Omori, mental health and trauma are major themes in the game, and I loved how they combined that with sweet and sentimental themes too. It was just a really touching game that hit close to home to me. My game is definitely very different, but does deal with mental health/trauma and uses the same engine.

The other inspiration is going to sound terrible, but I was literally searching online for yandere games to play, and of course the first one that popped up in searches was Yandere Simulator, and since I literally live in a cave I didn't know about it. I went to the game's website and wasn't really impressed with it, didn't care for the art or design or any of it, the only thing I liked was the idea of playing as a yandere and stalking your crush, but it sounds like the game is stuck forever in demo/testing mode and won't ever be finished anyway.

Also the lack of male yanderes was disappointing, but whatever, not every game is made for me. :) But I thought, wouldn't it be cute to go the other way with it, and make a game where YOU are being stalked by a yandere who is obsessed with you...? I did find a TON of visual novels online that have that as a theme, but I personally prefer RPG style games where there is some gameplay and you can move your character around, so I decided to go for that instead, from what I can see there are way less of those available with a male yandere stalker. In fact, I haven't found ANY so far, but I probably just didn't look hard enough.

Kage is kind of an externalized (and somewhat exaggerated) expression of all my own weird traumas, insecurities, and issues, which isn't something I'm super proud of but also something I've had to work really to overcome, which I AM proud of. He's like my "shadow" self if you're familiar with Jungian psychology, which is why I named him "Kage," it's just Japanese for "shadow" lol.

Sorry, that was a really long-winded response so...thanks for the question and coming to my TedTalk...and for your support <3

Ok but I love this...I can't fill it out online before the game release because it would be too spoiler infested, but I want to save to my page so I hopefully remember that it exists :)

｡･ﾟﾟ･ yandere ask game ･ﾟﾟ･｡

1. what made you fall in love with your beloved? was it love at first sight or did your love take time to develop? when did you realize you have obsessive and/or possessive feelings towards them?

2. what would you say about your experience having a yandere blog? has it changed anything, for the better or worse?

3. have you always been yandere or did you become one because of the person you currently love? how long did it take you to realize?

4. do you ever feel jealous or possessive over them? if so, what sets you off? any stories related to that?

5. what kind of aesthetic do you prefer? pink, sweet stuff with romantic but generally yandere words or more gorey stuff with weapons and dark undertones? perhaps something else?

6. are you openly yandere or do you hide it? if you hide it, have you ever shared it with anyone? has anyone who wasn’t supposed to find out about it eventually find out about it? what did you do then?

7. how far would you really go for your beloved? what are some extreme things you’d do for them? how far do you think they would go for you?

8. would you be happy if your beloved had tendencies similar to yours or would you prefer if it was just you? why?

9. what would you do if someone hurt your beloved? would you solely try to comfort your love or would you try take revenge on the person? if so, how would you do that? or would you do both?

10. any yandere story or experience of yours you’d like to share? doesn’t have to be serious or anything, it could be just something funny or just some happy moment you cherish.

More concept art for yandere Kage. I'm going to need a lot of face assets for him since he kind of wears his heart on his sleeve. Hopefully not ever literally...I worry about that boy.

I want Kage to kidnap me, right now! I hate my life. lol But, seriously, it would be nice.

Aw :<

Ko-fi

Visit 2-Headed Boy's Ko-fi Shop!

I've opened a Ko-fi shop. Come take a look!

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!

You're doing great hun!!! Keep it up! ^_^👍

Tysm 🤍!

Finally put the final love interest into the game. The blonde is Yugen, birthdate May 21. He's the slowest burn of all routes, and also the one your yandere hates the most, because he's the most difficult route to sabotage. Once Yugen is invested in the player, he tends to not let go... This one's gonna be a tug of war for your yandere.

Next is to make a sprite set for him!

We are not thinking 'Move on From the Cats Already' it is an important thing that you said is important to one of the boys, so fleshing it out is necessary!

Thank you for all the work you put in, invest as much time as you want in anything you want, we're happy to be here!

Thanks so much :) yeah I might have been projecting my own anxiety on that one, lol

I'm glad people like the cats, I wanted one of the guys to have a soft spot for them because I thought it could make for some fun/wholesome moments. Gotta balance the yandere drama out some

And thank you for being here on this ride with me

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.
