Free to play?! Et tu God?! my broke ass is crying happiness
Hell yeah F2P! I honestly didn't even want to go through the trouble of trying to navigate the logistics of selling a game. It didn't seem worth it for how niche my target audience is, especially as a no name dev.
Indie games are very rarely profitable, and I'm more interested in the game reaching more people. So of course F2P will accomplish that better
Also I forgot to mention, could u turn on submissions :3 I drew a fan art that I wanna give
Holf f ok T^T
I'm such a nub with Tumblr I didn't even know my submissions weren't on. Let me just fix that real quick...
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 :)
If anyone remembers me posting a few days ago that I have a major update on my yandere boyfriend RPG "2-Headed Boy" coming, I'm just here to say I am hoping to have enough of it finished to show some footage by tomorrow!
hii! I was wondering if you were looking for an artist for your game? ^_^ so sorry if this seems rude
Hey no worries, thank you for offering but this is going to stay a solo project :) I have purchased art from other artists who will be in the credits (pixel art that has been designed with the game's engine in mind), but I'm not actually working "with" anyone in a team.
The logistics of that would be a nightmare for all involved as I'm terrible at coordinating with people, have completely erratic hours/no sleep schedule etc.
Tldr I'm 98% sure I'll be able to get stuff like Steam achievements working in my game as well as stuff like checking for DLC ownership if the game ever gets popular enough to warrant a DLC.
Also this is Yurei's apartment so far, he needs more furniture! And I gotta adjust the alignment of a mirror so he can have a bathroom mirror without it clipping into the sink or ceiling.
Long boring version: I got basically nothing done on 2-Headed Boy yesterday, found out Steam's API integration thing only supports C++ and if you want Steam features on your Steam game that's programmed in a different language, you basically gotta use a 3rd party service, the website for the one they list as commonly used for my engine was down of course.
But thankfully the RM community came in clutch once again, and someone wrote up a thorough tutorial on a community forum, including a zip file with all the files I needed to update my engine and game etc. for Steam integration. So that's what I did yesterday. And worked my job too, dumb I know but I got bills to pay 🫠
I started adding shops and items beyond just the food court to the Midnight City Mall, plus a few aimlessly wandering NPCs.
There's the book/plushie store and clothing store made so far, planning an electronic store and a shoe store next, along with a little noodle shop. Unfortunately all the items besides food are only gifts for your love interests for now (you can't equip clothing and have your character change outfits). Maybe after I release the game I'll patch that in, but for now I'm trying to mainly focus on features that directly impact gameplay/the storylines (gifts being a mechanic for boosting stats with love interests).
I also have a crafting/cooking system, and those gifts give better stat boosts with the love interests than shopping, but I haven't implemented the recipes/ingredients for those yet.
Also I finally actually put the banking system into the ATMs. Player gets a fixed amount of money every Friday deposited to their account, so you will need to budget somewhat in-game. Will add small ways to make extra money too at some point!

As you can see, the game starts in autumn, and will include maps for all 4 seasons as well as time mechanics, day/night cycles, and time/season-dependent events (including your chosen birthday)! Also, random weather. In this map loaded, it decided to rain.
Using the redheaded female sprite for this footage. 4 hair colors available, male or female playable avatar, 4 planned skin tones for each. More customization options in the works! See my more recent post regarding the custom character generator!
Map design and layout by me as well as the sprites, character design and art. All other pixel assets on this map are by Kaue Luchetta and Grayfax software.
