Vendor: The Baa

There will be a few vendors you can buy stuff from. The most important by far is Bleatrice, who runs the campus baa-- I mean, bar.

A vital part of the YCT2P experience is player expression and build diversity. So her services will allow you to focus on the three core forms of progression: Ability scaling, Perks, and your meta resources (such as Friends and Attributes). It seems complicated now, but the beauty of these interconnected systems is you can just prioritize one over the rest ...

New 'Fiends' System

wanted to do more unique stuff with the buffs and have fewer sources of flat-out stat increases, so the Gram will now give you these unique sorta-Friends that alter your attributes, global stats that were invisible in the demo but won't be with the steam release.

thanks to everyone for their continued patience. i'm still hard at work on the game every day, just don't have as much to show now because a LOT of it is spoiler content.

Despot Price Lowered

bumped it down from 500 to 300 as per the (extremely generous) patron's request, to make it more feasible to support at that level long-term for others who may be interested.

patreon told me i should post an explanation for the change, so there it is.

Persuasion Update

hi folks. still working hard on the game every day, but i can't show very much because it's all spoiler content.

however, since Persuasions are in the demo, i figured i'd show off an update to the Recon phase. instead of it just being a standard choice, joyce pries into the target's mind and grills them based on the memory you select.

you also get a little psychonauts-inspired bit of character lore.

thank you all for your continued interest.

Upcoming Menus

been menuing up a storm

unique screens, all with different purposes.

sorry for not showing off more. a lot of what's being worked on now is spoiler content, so i am hesitant to show it off. but rest assured i'm still working full-time on the game.

I Did A Game Jam Thing

you can play it here. honestly the experience was pretty miserable but it produced a great game, so, can't complain.

it ended up being a massive labor of love, so if you know anyone who'd get a kick out of it, please share with them.

Chapter 2 Layout

SPOILERS FOR YCT2P. 

forgive the unhingedness of it all, but here's a rough layout of where things go. feel free to make suggestions or requests, especially if your character is to be in the game and you've got somewhere you'd like them to be.

WE ARE SO FUCKING BACK BABY
