tiggertoo Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 After wishing for years that there were more games out there centred around weight gain, I decided to write my own. WIP title, 'The Weighting Game'. Falls into the visual novel/dating game category, I suppose. Very early days at the moment. But for three weeks or so of (very) part-time work, it's taking shape nicely. There's no weight gain in there - yet - but the core game is almost up and running and I'm updating all the initial renders at the moment as well as refining the existing scenes and writing new ones. To give an idea of how it's progressing, the first two pictures are very early renders, and the second two are (more or less) final versions of the same images. The final pic (ignore the out of place drink!) is just because I felt like it 😛 If anyone's interested, I'll post a link to a very rough demo I knocked up last weekend.

Guest fatlover123456 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I am impressed. I keep getting comments not found. 11,12, 15, and 18 are most common. Do you need a writer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiggertoo Posted January 26, 2020 Author Share Posted January 26, 2020 The 'comment not found', isn't a bug. As the notes explain, it's simply placeholder text for future use. There'll be a new demo out in a few days. This will have a cap in place which'll stop these messages showing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chubby encourager Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I hope you continue with this and I can't wait to see how it goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiggertoo Posted February 17, 2020 Author Share Posted February 17, 2020 @skinnygirlwantstogrow Thanks! There is a free version of the game on the site. And it's not on there to make me a quick buck. I only put it on there because I've spent (and am still spending) a lot of money on 3D assets for the game, so the early access thing is helping me to cover my costs. @thick lover I'm definitely continuing! Presuming you're playing the public (January) demo? The February demo is now in early access and I'm working away on the next version. This'll be ready towards the middle of March, at which point I'll make the Feb demo available to everyone. Feb demo has a lot of new content... and the version I'm working on now will have even more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest grimb84 Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 This looks fantastic, definitely thinking of signing up. This is for PC, yeah? Great idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiggertoo Posted March 1, 2020 Author Share Posted March 1, 2020 Yep, it's on the PC. May be a Mac version at some point, but probably not mobile as the size of the game is getting kind of big. And thanks. Hope you like it whether you sign up or not! For anyone else who's interested, the next version of the game will be ready in a week or so, and in the meantime, I've made the latest demo free to everyone.

Guest Lurks in the Void Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 So, I played the ** demo to its finish. Damn, but I shouldn't have because waiting till the next release is excruciating. Anyone who played - have you guys figured out how the mechanics work ? Most variables are kinda hidden, and it's unclear to me how it works. edit: NVM, I enabled console and went thru the script file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I've some suggestions on what maybe do in the next game so there's more replay value. Atm, the game is linear and the characters don't change, but you could make an rpg out of it with stats and skill checks and all. You played Disco Elysium ? If you haven't, just play it. Great game, not overly long. 2 leisurely completist playthroughs for me took ~60 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiggertoo Posted March 30, 2020 Author Share Posted March 30, 2020 To be honest, I don't really mind people looking at the script if they want to. Just (IMO) it spoils the game if they check out the files and know what's coming. And next game? I've been working on this one for almost 6 months and it's going to take me at least that long again to finish i. Next game is a long way off! 😛 That said, I'm always open to suggestions for the future. I've heard of Disco Elysium. Never played it though. May give it a shot.

Well, making the stats of potential partners vary with each play through, so you'd have to figure out their simulated characters. Say, simulate the Big 5 personality traits https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Five_personality_traits So, for example, if you lucked into an open-minded low neuroticism type, she'd be less likely to do socially unacceptable stuff. Meanwhile, a cautious, high conscientiousness, high neuroticism type would have a job and probably keep freaking out about busting her pants due to stress eating. It'd be more involving to write because conversations would have to be custom-written for each character type, but it'd be doable I think. Maybe I should try prototyping something like that and then throw it at you, free of charge/strings. Like you said, long time off, and all that.

Tony Watt Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I've been a patron for a bit and had been having a hell of a time trying to play it on my mac. So, I finally ported and played the PC version. I believe I played one of the scenarios out to the furthest you've gotten to so far. I did want to ask a few questions, seeing as how I might have missed some chances to further my game play. But I don't want to give anything away. So, let me know if it is alright to ask freely.

tiggertoo Posted April 18, 2020 Author Share Posted April 18, 2020 @Lurks in the Void Sorry, for the slow response. I didn't get a notifcation that you'd replied, or if I did, I missed it! The next game is definitely a long way off, but if you have any suggestions, please feel free to make them. Or for this game, if you have any. Always happy to listen to ideas!
