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…

Thanks for the feedback!
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).

Still a long road ahead, but I think progress is progress…

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.

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

Your project brought 1830: Railroads & Robber Barons to mind. The way you described it really reminded me of that game. Such nostalgia! Wishing you the best of luck with it! 🛤️

Congratulations!
Very nice!
I love the art!
Working on the yatai’s opening routine, refining small details.

The newspaper is such a simple yet powerful way the yatai connects to its surroundings.
The newspaper is such a simple yet powerful way the yatai connects to its surroundings.
Even a small, flickering TV in a yatai can bring life to the space. Whether it’s a sports game or a nightly drama, it’s a tiny window into the larger world—and a detail I couldn’t ignore when crafting the game’s atmosphere.
A radio playing softly in the background can completely change the mood of a yatai. It’s like a thread tying together the stall and the world beyond it.
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!
