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.
Don't know his skin tone so made a rough sketch fan art without it :DD
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.
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.
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
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
Honestly it's just super cool you give us the option to choose clothes, you don't have to put stats on them if you don't want to, that seems like a lot of work for you 🥺
Hey thank you, honestly I think I needed a voice of reason here, and you're probably right. I would probably have to figure out balancing and stuff for the clothes if I did that. I'm hoping to give these as "mission rewards" so adding stats to them really could get too complicated.
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!
1st of all in the sprite where kage turns away I thought his lower back was showing? Didn’t look closely + the text box placement made me think his shirt had ridden up or he was wearing a crop top lol
2ndly does the game take place in the uk? Asking cause of the use of cunt
1. nope no crop tops here lol
2. Also no, cunt is just a great word, game is in a fictional setting
