He Wishes You Would :/

Expanded the arcade area a little, and if you read the text box there you'll see which new map I'll be working on next! After adding the final love interest, anyway.

Also added 3 new shops to the mall, the electronics store, noodle shop and a shoe boutique, for more gift options for your love interest.

Also added the grocery store. There's not much to buy there yet, but I plan on adding in the ingredients for the cooking system to that shop, so you can make little treats for the love interests. ...Don't let your yandere find out you're doing that though.

Other than that just kind of worked on optimizing map transfers to make them less janky. Oh, and not shown here but I started working on the holiday event things too!

Oohhh weird question but will we occasionally catch a glimpse of Kage while moving around the map? Like when we go out to the shops does he follow us?

I'm very excited for this game 💕👑

There's always some evidence of him being not too far from the player, though I'm still looking at different ways to portray that, and it probably won't be just one thing or way of knowing.

I'm hoping to make some neat moments like that too though, where you can "spot him in the wild" :)

Kage's sprite samples. Actual size 48x48px.

I don't want to think about how many times I remade these before deciding on a simple design

Working on more maps for 2-Headed Boy, testing player collision and currency checks etc. Since there are no ushers yet I can just walk up to the concert without paying, but that will change soon™

Also started writing the first meeting with Yurei into the game.

shut up this is so cool... cant wait to see the final game omg :333

Thank you!! :,) I'm having so much fun making it.

Well, the character creator interface was not super fun to make if I'm being real, but it was so gratifying when it was "finished" (or at lease usable, I'm definitely not finished adjusting/replacing/adding to the options, but that part's pretty easy).

Yesterday I worked on adding another map, hoping I can get it finished today and post some walking tour footage tonight!

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

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

omg i love your drawing style so much 😻😻😻 is it digital art? the way you shade the hair actually blows me away

Oh wow thank you T^T 🩶

I hand draw my stuff and scan it in. Usually it's some combination of pen ink, alcohol based marker, and colored pencil. And once in a while acrylic paint.

Anyway not to be dramatic but I'm off to die of happiness now

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.

Hey I dreamt about Kage. He got punched by some girl and then mc was almost yandere for him and defended him with a baseball bat. But in reality he passed out from the punch and just imagined mc there

I lol'ed, also interesting he's already invading dreams
