High School Hills: Dreams & Nightmares is a 2D pixel-art adventure where dreams and reality collide. Play as Bow, a teenager uncovering dark secrets after his mother vanishes, exploring a strange town and a dangerous dream world where nightmares come to life. #TeaseYaGame #indiegame

As the days go by, new markets appear, expanding the world around the yatai.

Well… that didn’t go as planned. 1-star disaster 😂

A new panel shows finances: expenses, ingredients you buy most, best-selling dishes, and waste. Even small stalls have to deal with money to survive...

Ingredients now have small animations. Makes them easier to recognize (I hope).

We added a simple tutorial. Still a work in progress, but it helps new players get started.

I realized how tricky it is to score dish quality fairly. At first, it was just a 1-10 rating, but things got complex fast…

Working on the details: searching for that balance where the wood feels rough, and the fabric invites you to stay.

I share the latest updates on Yatai Master, from stock management to purchases, along with changes to the cooking process. Slow, but steady (I hope).

Developing the dialogue for my game is proving to be more challenging than I expected, but Alexander M. Freed's guide has been a huge help in structuring it all.

I introduce the new market feature in the game. Instead of a general store, players will explore specialized markets. This ties into the game's focus on discovering characters and stories that reward curiosity.

Finally got a chance to create a splash screen. Here it is for Yatai Master.

Working on the yatai’s opening routine, refining small details.

Yatai has a special way of connecting to the world around it—through small, everyday things like a newspaper, a radio, or even a TV. These little details have been on my mind while working on the game.🧵

Not a fan of cooking, never been to Japan… yet here I am, diving into making a game about yatai!
