Don't know his skin tone so made a rough sketch fan art without it :DD
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
It's h a p p e n i n g
Will probably be up all night working on my Steam page stuff
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.
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 :)
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.
Thanks to all of your encouragement and support, Steam store page is now up for 2-Headed Boy!
Release date is still TBA though!!
Again this project only started in January so please look forward to it ;w;
Wishlist a 2-headed boy of your own today!
Again, the game will be free-to-play. All it costs is your precious, precious time. And your love. And attention.
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.
You're doing great hun!!! Keep it up! ^_^👍
Tysm 🤍!
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!
Not much preference on spoon, he is ecstatic just to touch you
Would love if you wore his clothes but will "borrow" yours without asking (prefers if they are not washed). Not to wear, just as a comfort object for sleeping
Would use a pet name if you asked him but feels very awkward about it
Is not "introverted" in the sense of stereotypical "quiet, shy homebody" but being around everyone but Y/N drains him, needs downtime to recharge.
Not "extroverted" in the sense he is energized from being around people, but very outspoken and mouthy
Does not generally like killing anything, and if non-human especially doesn't like it (except for food). He will capture bugs and release outside, unless it's a mosquito, those are kill on sight
Reckless driver, prob should never give him your keys
