Hey I Dreamt About Kage. He Got Punched By Some Girl And Then Mc Was Almost Yandere For Him And Defended

I’m so happy your adding actual skin tones to your game a lot of games I’ve played as a darker woman don’t often have the option for me to be a similar skin tone to what I actually am and it’s refreshing to see

Wow, I guess I haven't played a ton of modern games, I would think that would just be a given by now, but here we are. If we're putting skin tone options in a game it seems like one would just naturally put a wide spectrum in. That's not difficult to do at all.

This reminds me of something else with the character customization in my game though. I'm glaringly aware that I'm lacking a variety of hair textures in the hair options. I have some loose waves and some slightly tighter waves but no real curls or coils. That one can be more of a skill issue on an artist's part, being able to draw them and have them look good.

Unfortunately I've collected hair assets from various community sources as well as pulled some from the base engine default assets, and none of them have a lot of texture. I'm not sure how much that's going to matter or bother people, but right now if I can't find any pre-made I would have to draw them myself, and they wouldn't match the other hair options in style. I'm not even sure they would come out good looking in tiny pixel art form (again skill issue). So I'm feeling a little stuck there.

Sorry for the rant, you didn't even bring up hair but it was something I had been thinking about with the customization and I was reminded by the comment on skin tone variety. This is just me saying "out loud" I'm sorry about the lack of options in that regard.

Damn if I had time to be a beta tester rn istg 💔 looks so good. Not that I would be picked but I would so apply for the honor

❤️Online Obsession Beta Test: DEMO

Hey there, after much thought I decided to release a demo for Online Obsession, letting everyone have a taste of the game before the official release. However, the existing beta testers pool is too small for the amount of content being added to the game, which is why I'm announcing the new wave of beta test applications.

As a beta tester you:

Will be joining a group of around 25 already existing beta testers

Will get to playtest the Demo build and builds published after it

Will get free game keys for Steam and Itch upon the game's official release

Will have your name in credits of the game as a beta tester

The application process will last for around three days, after which you can still apply in the back-up pool for a few days. I will be accepting a very limited group of beta testers but everyone has a chance, so feel free to apply!

You are all too nice to me, a literal nobody ;w;

Fixed the sprites for love interest Shinkiro, I accidentally made his skin peach-colored before. Now he's grey, just as God intended. Or y'know, whoever.

I just wanna break you down so badly,

Well, I trip over everything you say

I just wanna break you down so badly,

In the worst way

Don't know his skin tone so made a rough sketch fan art without it :DD

Quick update, someone politely inquired about the pronoun setup in my game project yesterday, and to be honest I hadn't given it much thought.

But I decided, what the heck why not just decouple the player sprite's appearance from their in-game pronouns so they are separate questions when you're setting up your character at the beginning.

So you can use the feminine sprites with masculine pronouns or vice versa. I'll also add a 3rd set of "they/them" that can go to either sprite set too.

Not a hard thing for me to do and I'm sure it would make some people happier and nobody less happy, so that's a net positive for the game, and that's what we aim for here in my brain world. It's early enough in development that I don't have to revisit very much of what I already wrote into the game either so it's really nbd on that front.

Anyway will try to work on that sometime today if I get time between working my normie job

To the anon who asked if the cats at the cafe are adoptable, here's a small demo of how that will work. You can adopt only once/one cat per save file.

But what you can do an infinite amount of times is change your cat's accessory, so if you gave it a collar and later want to have it wear a bow or flower, or change the color of the bow/flower/collar, you can do that any time from your apartment wardrobe.

Before you can adopt a cat you have to get it to a friendly status with you at the cafe, by playing with it (use the laser pointer, I'll probably add a feather toy or something too).

Cat cafe is a key element of boyfriend option Yurei's route; playing with the cats and adopting one will get you points with him. More on that later!

I'm also working on a little special something for people who donate to the game, that will be related to cat cafe.

Unrelated note here, I don't know how many people have been paying attention to the in-game clock in the videos, but some may have noticed that before it was moving like...crazy fast, a second for a minute. I realize that would make crazy pacing in the game and probably be stressful. Right now I have it set to pass in real time, so a minute in the game takes a minute in real life.

BUT you can fast forward time with various in game activities so you're not time-gated (you can skip 8 hours by sleeping, or 2 hours with a nap, as a couple of examples).

Edit: Also, time passage is not tied to your computer's clock or anything like that. Time doesn't pass in the game unless you are actually running the game (it's not like Animal Crossing for example, where time passes in the game whether you are playing or not).

You're not a literal nobody, thank you for putting so much time and effort into making such a beautiful game, omg ;-;

Nnng my heart

Do you have plans to release a demo? Or are you going to wait and release the full game?

I'm going to release it in chapters, one rival at a time, starting with the Yurei route :) so I guess 3 chapters total is the current plan
