She’s certainly stunning :D though I’m still team Tomomi in that volume :P (sorry, Saeka >.<)

I should be able to link you to the artist :3 They’re from Japan. They sell their art as assets so people like me who can’t draw to save their lives can still make games x3 All I did was edit the colours & some of the expressions, haha.

I think I put their name in the credits doc, but you can find their stuff here :3

I believe they also accept commissions! Tbh, I might end up using more of their sprite assets for future volumes of this project because it’s really pretty ^-^

Thanks for checking out the project!!

Glad to hear it :D I am definitely team Takaaki/Tomomi myself x3 Thank YOU so much for playing <3

Thank you ^-^ hopefully I will be able to :3

Glad you like it :D Thanks so much for checking it out!! :3

:D That's great to hear!! Thanks so much for playing this one too <3 The 2nd volume is better than the 1st one IMO, but that's just personal preference I guess cos I kinda hate school settings in games with a passion thanks to playing waaaay too many school-based otome games in the past, haha.

<3

<3 <3 <3 Thanks so much for playing this one too! It was a fun update to work on, haha. Really loving that video thumbnail :D Poor Takaaki x3

100% cute... 110% crazy (in the best possible way x3)

:D Hope you end up having fun!! Hehe x3 Well, I'm team Takaaki cos Sakae/Saeka is just too much for me xD At least Takaaki/Tomomi is kinda sweet in a way, haha.

So glad you enjoyed it :D And that’s so cool that you found this after checking out The Graveyard Shift! That’s one of the least played of all my projects, so it’s a big surprise to hear you came across that one first x3

I’m glad you decided to play it though and check out some of my other stuff too ^-^ As you can probably tell, I ended up getting kind of obsessed with making VNs, haha.

Thanks for all your kind words <3

I’m not sure I understand what you mean >.< The protagonist/MC of this game doesn’t have a gender, they are never seen on-screen, and the player can select pronouns from either he/him, she/her, or they/them :D

So you are playing as whatever you imagine you are playing as, and you can romance guys or girls no matter what pronouns you pick ^-^

Hehe x3

So glad you ended up liking the new volume! ^-^ Thanks for always being so sweet <3 It really means a lot :3

Well, that’s fine cos I still love you platonically too :D You’re such a sweetheart! Haha, well, ya never know as far as step-siblings are concerned x3 I can’t even trace most of my family tree! 

Tomomi’s eyes are just amazing x3 as soon as I saw the sprite I was like, uhm, YES! Usually, I wouldn’t have any strong feelings when it comes to fem sprites, but somehow the volume 02 girls are indeed ridiculously hot, haha. Both of em definitely have better facial expressions than the guys this time! It took me sooooo long to finally settle on which ones to use though >.<

Hope you are having an awesome April so far :3

I wish I could T_T haha. I wish I could make all of my games playable on mobile, but I haven’t had any success so far :( 

I tried to make an Android build of one of my older super short projects, but Android Studio kept crashing my PC, and when I eventually managed to get it to export a build, it didn’t even start in the virtual test environment >.<

I think I need a better PC and some help from someone with more knowledge about how to make mobile builds work if I’m ever going to manage to release mobile versions of my stuff.

I really hope it will be possible in the future! I just don’t know how to do it at the moment x3

I’m glad you like the look of the game! ^-^

It’s not the ideal solution, but a friend has said it’s possible to run the Windows versions of some of my games on a phone using something called Winlator for Android, BUT, it doesn’t work on everything, and apparently, the load times can be really long + crashes happen if it can’t handle the loading >.<

Glad to hear it :D I’m personally on team Takaaki/Tomomi, but Sakae has his charms, hehe. Thanks so much for playing! :3

Hehe, yeah, he did an incredible job with the character! Even though Sakae is a total asshole, mc_cheshire somehow managed to make him somewhat lovable and genuinely charming with that voice acting talent, haha. 

Tbh, I have no idea if the original CDs considered themselves comical or not, but I feel like the characters are so OTT that even though there’s creepy yandere stuff going on, it’s so whacky it can’t help but become kind of a comedy xD

Thanks so much for playing <3

I'm guessing you're talking about Kakeru? xD I mean,  I can't say with 100% certainty because I didn't draw the sprite, haha, but I'm guessing the artist wanted him to be posed like he's holding his hands behind his back or something. To be fair though, it does just look a bit like he doesn't have arms the more you look at it x3

<3 <3 <3

<3

Aww, well, that really means a lot that you decided to comment on this :3 So glad to hear you had fun with the volumes that are finished so far :D

I usually write my own stories/games, but this one is a special side project that I started as a fan of the Yandere Heaven drama CD series cos I thought it might be fun to have a go at localising some Japanese stuff instead for a change, haha. Tbh, if I had more time, I'd probably try to localise soooo many Japanese drama CDs cos there are some really cool ones out there!

I feel like maybe I did a better job at localising the script for volume/CD 02 than I did with the first one x3 The first one I still keep seeing things I would have written differently now I have a bit more experience >.<

But yeah, it just wouldn’t be the same without the voice acting! I did debate not making it a VN at all and instead just doing the script localisation, then getting voice actors in for the dub, and keep it as an audio-only project to put on YouTube or something instead! In the end, though, I decided it would be more fun to work on if I could come up with a suitable visual aesthetic and make it a VN :3

That’s awesome that you like the extras with the bloopers and stuff too :D I’m a sucker for bloopers, hehe. They were always my favourite bonus content on DVDs, and I wish they were in more games, so I just started trying to include the bloopers in all of my games xD

I will try to eventually finish the remaining volumes :3 There are 4 more CDs to cover, but there is also a spinoff series called Yandere Heaven Black which I might do as well. The YHB ones were BL CDs I think, but I’d just do the same and give male/female romance options.

It will probably be quite slow though because my main projects take priority over this one >.< I just thought I would try to finish volume 02 for the yandere jam since it had been a while since I finished volume 01 x3

Thanks so much for checking out the game and leaving such a lovely comment ^-^

Lo siento si esto es malo. Utilicé el traductor de Google para leer tu mensaje y responder >.<

Desafortunadamente, el texto del juego solo está disponible en inglés en este momento. Es porque soy un desarrollador en solitario del Reino Unido y, lamentablemente, no soy lo suficientemente competente en otros idiomas para agregar diferentes opciones de idioma :(

Es posible que pueda trabajar con traductores en algún momento para agregar otros idiomas, pero todavía no sé cómo hacer que ese tipo de cosas funcionen en el juego porque nunca lo había hecho antes >.<

Lo siento, probablemente no sea una respuesta muy útil. ¡Gracias por tu interés en el proyecto! :3

Sorry if this is bad. I used Google translate to read your message and reply >.<

Unfortunately, the text in the game is also only available in English right now. 

It's because I am a solo dev from the UK, and sadly, I'm not competant enough in other languages to add different language options :( 

It's possible I might be able to work with translators at some point to add other languages, but I still don't even know how you make that sort of thing work in-game because I've never done it before >.<

I'm sorry that's probably not a very helpful answer. Thank you for your interest in the project though! :3

I think if Saeka came for me I would run as far away from her as possible x3 or just run to Tomomi for help >.<

That’s fantastic, glad to hear it :D Funnily enough, I’m actually working on volume 02 right now! I’m hoping to have it finished for the end of this year's Yandere Jam in mid-March, but that might not happen because I have a lot of crap going on in my life and I’m struggling to function thanks to the stress and being utterly overwhelmed >.< I’m still gonna try though! If I miss the jam deadline, it’s not the end of the world I guess. I’ll just release it whenever it’s ready :3

The worst thing is, because the project files are so old, after updating to the most recent version of Naninovel to make volume 02, it’s basically broken almost everything from volume 01 T_T I pretty much have to rebuild it all manually and make sure volume 01 is working properly again before I can start coding for volume 02 >.<

Thanks so much for checking it out!

Unfortunately, because this project is just an adaptation of a Japanese audio drama CD, (there are no choices in the CD besides choosing which character MC ends up with) and I wanted it to be a faithful adaptation, so I didn't add choices or anything cos I didn't want to add my own original stuff to this one x3 It's pretty much just a visual novel fan adaptation of the CD :3

Thanks for playing! 

Hmm, I'm not sure, but it's probably a bug of some kind >.< Unfortunately, all the stuff lope the settings for auto mode are all determined by Naninovel and I don't poke around with those since it's all like pre-programmed and I don't wanna break anything >.< Naninovel has had a good few updates since I released this though, so it's possible that if it was a bug there, they might've fixed that now, so the next time I load up this project to work on a new episode, I should be able to update it to the most recent version of Naninovel, and with any luck, it might work a bit better, haha. 

Glad you've been having fun with it anyhow! Hope you get to have happy holidays :3

Sorry my reply is so slow >.< I'm badly behind on responding to everything atm thanks to Christmas stress and generally being ill, haha. 

It actually is fairly normal that it's being silly on Mac x3 I don't know what it is about games on itch and Macs, but it's a constant problem that Mac users seem to have :( I don't own one myself, but people who do have told me it's like a security thing where cos games are unsigned, they can't get past Mac security >.<

The good thing is, there are some fairly easy workarounds to get games working :3 People have told me the easiest thing to do is just download the itch.io app and then download all games through that app, then they have no issues, but there are other solutions too! I put together a list of stuff people have said works for them over the years, and you can find it here:

https://melancholy-marionette.itch.io/darling-duality-winter-wish/devlog/227880/...

The post is on one of my other projects, but the suggested solutions apply to all of my games here :3

Hope you get to have happy holidays! ^-^

It’s a little difficult to give a proper answer because the explanation is reeeealllly long x3 I’m actually in the middle of attempting to draft a big post about all my projects in general and my plans for what to work on in 2024 though, so I can link you to that once I eventually finish and post it :3

The short story is that there isn’t really any news about the development of this particular project >.< It’s on hold indefinitely for a few different reasons. I absolutely intend to work on and finish it at some point in the future, but it’s not particularly high up on my list of priorities is all. I definitely won’t be working on it any time in the rest of this year. It’s possible I might work on 1 more episode next year, but it really depends on how things go with irl stuff and also some of my other projects.

I really appreciate your interest in the project though :3 I’ll finish it eventually, it’s probably just going to take me a long time is all >.<

<3 Glad to hear it! Thanks so much for playing ^-^
