So Excited To Say That I Took The Leap Yesterday And Paid The $100 Fee To Publish A Steam Page For 2-Headed

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

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).

A small carnival area for Midnight City. I still need to blend out the gradient on the ambient light for the night time Ferris wheel. And make the interior map for the haunted house.

Also considering putting a clock on the Ferris wheel, but I'm not sure if that would cause lag or not...still thinking about that one.

Here's the first part of the Midnight City Mall for 2-Headed Boy, my yandere boyfriend RPG WIP!

This floor features ATMs for withdrawing funds/reviewing your bank balance (funds are deposited to your account once per in-game week cycle), as well as a crane game for winning plushies to give to your love interest(s). 5 different plushies creatures each available in multiple version for a total of 20 plushies. Different love interests like different plushies.

Also features a photo booth (usable with love interests), still figuring out exactly how I want to implement that part.

A lounge area with some paintings, and a food court with some oddball clerks. A variety of menu options are available. Figure out what foods your love interests like and have a lunch date.

Eating food/beverages also replenishes your "Spoons," a points meter that depletes with social activity in the game at varying degrees depending on the activity and how things are going with your love interest. Certain foods/beverages also provide different buffs. Still working on this part!

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!

Working on the Social Media menu for the love interests. As you learn more about each of them, their "Likes" and "Dislikes" sections will fill. Keep track of their stats here as well. (Shown stats are for display purposes only, not the real stats, still working on those).

Relationship status will change of course depending on whether or not you progress far along enough on that love interest's route. Otherwise they will all read "Single," except for your yandere, who will read "It's Complicated," because of course it is...

I feel like I'm in this post and I don't like it (except I kind of do).

Was I the yandere all along...?

I don’t know if you have done this but

Yandere artist who sees darling as a muse. They adore painting them and often times have them restricted into poses

Yandere!Artist x reader

somedays youre kept dazy and tired, making it easier for you to stay still for long periods of time

other days, they want you awake. they want you aware of the art youre taking part in <3.

so you're restrained, heavily. sometimes youre strung up by rope or chains from the ceiling, sometimes draped along the couch, other times you have to sit upright in a chair for hours at a time

they become so focused, sometimes they don't even hear you asking for breaks. it's only when you start to shift in discomfort that they look up from their easel, brows furrowed, asking, "what are you doing?"

Artist having paintings upon paintings of you around their house. they can't seem to get enough of your image, spending countless hours replicating each detail

when they're not painting you, you're glued to their hip. they want to touch your skin, your hair, feel the texture of your clothes so they know what to paint next

sometimes you wake up to them watching you sleep. what better time to memorize your details when you're at your most peaceful? when you won't shy away?

Artist having days where all they do is paint, and paint, and paint, and paint, and by the end of the day your muscles ache fiercely from being contorted and held in position

but oh, oh, how beautiful you are in their eyes. you consume their every thought.

My 2nd Kage fan art 🩶 submitted off Tumblr but the art is by Voobee

Started routing Yurei into the game last night. It's quite a process, because I have to create a schedule or routine for each of the love interests, since they won't always be in the same place; it will of course depend on the time of day, and they also can't be in 2 places at once.

So for example, Yurei will be at home between certain hours of the day, and at his work for other hours (but only on certain days of the week). I also had to set it up so that if you're at his work while his shift is changing, he will realize that his shift is over and leave for the day.

Or if it's a holiday and he's supposed to be at the mall or something, I can't have him also sitting at home in his apartment or at his work etc.

Also, you can't go into the guys' apartments if you haven't met them yet, or if they aren't home. There are just a lot of little things like that to work in. I'm avoiding working on Yugen and Shinkiro, and focusing on Yurei for now, because if I try to work on them all simultaneously, I'll go insane.

Well, except I'm working on Kage at the same time as Yurei, because he's interwoven into all of the love interest routes, so I can't avoid him. Kind of like how the player can't avoid him

Good news, I fixed the resolution on my game. In all its glory the base engine has a really weird resolution that wants you to play in a small windowed mode, and trying to fullscreen stretches everything out and makes it looked real jacked up.

So that's fixed now, and I've fixed the screenshots on my Steam page that had a weird stretch on them to reflect the change.

Edit tho: I had to readjust the dialogue windows because as you can see in this example, they were still stretching out strangely in the resolution correction. So that will be fixed/look normal for stuff I post from here out!

Don't forget, if this game looks like something you might enjoy, you can wishlist it on Steam. Just a cute free to play about trying to navigate the dating scene with a yandere stalker guy ever-looming. It's a love story, albeit a toxic one. And some trauma exploration thrown in there for flavor.
