I Don't Know If This Has Been Asked Before, But Why Did You Decide To Name It 2 Headed Boy?
I don't know if this has been asked before, but why did you decide to name it 2 headed boy?
Oh cool question :)
It's in reference to the poster boy of the game (the "yandere"), Kage, for a few reasons. To describe the duality of his nature (he has sort of "Jekyl/Hyde" mood shifts) and how he tends to "split" on the player throughout interactions.
He often sees the player in extremes of all good or all bad, and feels things very intensely (though the "all bad" moments are more temporary unless you're really relentless with building his toxicity and anxiety stats).
He's "of two minds," when it comes to how he thinks the player feels about him, which is a consistent source of his anxiety that can be mitigated with varying degrees of success by the player (or made worse).
And then finally, it's also the name of 2 songs by Neutral Milk Hotel, 2 Headed Boy parts 1 and 2, and I think the lyrics of both songs also really fit his overall vibe. Especially part 2

I wrote this poem for Kage:
I don't even know you. I don't know what you've been through.
What is it that you really feel? Why is it my heart you want to steal?
Please don't be so brash. All of your actions are so rash.
If you really love me, give me space, or I will flee.
No more stalking, or I'm done talking.
Do you understand? I'm being as nice as I can.
We can take things one day at a time. But, hold me captive, and you won't be mine.
Dang I love this :') Kage would probably
find it terrifying to be called out but he's not going to say that part out loud
Deny he's a stalker
Keep this poem forever
It's h a p p e n i n g
Will probably be up all night working on my Steam page stuff
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.
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
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 eyes going blurry now @_@ thanks for the support! All revved up to work hard on this yandere boyfriend project
You guys I am actually tearing up rn, it feels like someone is giving my heart a tight hug ;_; thank you everyone for donating and believing in me, I'm gonna try my best to make this game awesome for everyone
And to the people who made especially chunky donations, you're definitely on my list for if I am able to do some kind of extra special reward in the future it will 100% apply retroactively
I said I wasn't gonna do this, but after all the trouble of adding a bunch of outfit options into the character creation, it seemed like a waste to not be able to change your outfit after creating your character.
So now you can! Honestly, the bulk of the work is just getting all the outfits in; making it so you can change them turned out to be easier than I had thought. This applies to accessories and glasses too. Since making this video I've added all the items you can equip into the game, though I still have to make character portrait assets for several of them, which should be pretty easy since the clothes are just shoulder-up shots, and then some simple accessories.
So you can collect clothes and change them throughout the game. And I added more hairstyle options too, like a single braid (besides the double braids that were already there), wavy hair, and some other options.
I'm still debating whether or not to make the clothes mechanically significant in some way or just leave them as cosmetic only. Like should they provide some kind of stat boost while wearing them? The stats are supposed to represent your character's personality, so I'm not sure. But then, clothing choices can also be a reflection of one's personality, so maybe that should be a thing...? The personality traits are "the big 5" though, and I'm not sure what clothes read as "agreeable" vs "openness" or "extroversion" etc.
If anyone has any thoughts on that lmk
Edit: also not sure how Kage's birthday got messed up in this video but he's not a Capricorn, he's a Sagitterrorist ;p so I'll have to go in and fix that
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.
Thank you everyone who got me to 100 reblogs!
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 :)
