48hr Jam - Finito, bully me mercilessly

[FaFeeder112]

Salutations. Today in work I broke my foot! Yaaaaayyyy. Why am I happy you might ask? Because this means I’m on sick leave! So I decided, to work on my renpy skills for my upcoming beta release of Freshman year (link at the bottom) I will make a game, full build, in 24hrs. 1 release, coming right up.

The premise is simple, I either do it and it’s good (bonus points), it works and has some issues (expect a patch), it doesnt work and the whole thing was a waste of time, (this forum goes bye bye).

Premise will follow a similar gameplay style to AnvilandtheChipmunks’s Big aspirations (link at the end) but will by no means be a copy. Compact main gameplay loop, rng based office interactions. Full display images rather than background + character compositions that I’ve used in the past.

Should be fairly linear gameplay, female protag, protag-wg, npc wg and some side stuff. Nothing too mental or fancy, just something to keep me occupied while my ankles doing the pain and suffering

EDIT: I didn’t change the title! You changed the title! So I’ve changed the parameters to 48hrs because I ended up spending most of the day sitting around waiting to be x-rayed so I think it’s fair to add 24hrs to the challenge in lieu of the 5hrs I spent in hospital and like 10hrs I slept, considering I’ll sleep about 8 or 9 of those away it’s only a net gain of like 1hr so it’s fiiiiine…

So I am shipping this. It’s a lot emptier than I wanted but I have to do a follow up on the x-ray from yesterday and that’s gonna take up most of the evening. This is the result of 40hrs of linear time, factor in about 20hrs sleep (I’m on sick leave, leave me alone ) 5 hrs in hospital and a combined 7 or 8hrs generating images because my internet is do-do that’s about 7 or 8 hrs of coding and yeah, it shows.

2 Notices I need to give that aren’t in the game. If you decide not to enter the building in the intro the game will just end (likely via crash)

The max size for each of the 3 characters (including player) is 320lbs, after that there is no gains for any of them and the whole thing just becomes UI simulator. PC and MAC available, I had trouble with the Android build so you’ll just have to pray Joiplay works. Enjoy my mental breakdown:

Freshman Year - A new Renpy Game

Hey there, you may remember me from such smash hits as Succubus of Gluttony and… that’s it and I didn’t even finish that one… wow… what a legacy. Anyway, moving along swiftly. Freshman year is the working title but this game will, in theory, after about 25 years of development, encompass all the early parts of adult life, college, finding a job, relationships, hobbies, crafts, friendships, family, etc etc etc. The plan being to create a vibrant environment where your actions affect the world aro…

Big Aspirations (DLC Bundle 1) A weight gain interactive story

Hey, was lurking under a different account for a while and was inspired to try my hand at making something! Please be aware that this is my first time doing coding or working with this software so the chances of bugs popping up are likely, but please feel free to tell me about them, I am willing to fix mistakes and learn! I am also using AI art to supplement the story, my art skills are lacking and my budget is limited, I hope you understand. You are Aubrey, a young woman who just recently sta…

Thanks for the shoutout! I’m happy that you liked my game enough to want to take inspiration from it. Best of luck with your project!

Break a leg!
I mean…
Go you!

[FaFeeder112]

I don’t know if it’s the tylex talking but that made my day

[Parnash]

Here’s hoping it goes well!

@FaFeeder112

it doesnt work and the whole thing was a waste of time, (this forum goes bye bye).

Any failure is an opportunity to learn something so don’t be too hard on yourself in that respect.

Have fun, experiment, learn from the results good or bad!

Best of luck with the 24h project!

Hope the ankles are feelin ok. I’ll even offer 2 extra hours.

[FaFeeder112]

Is this… an empathy? On the INTERNET??? BLASPHEMER (many thank)

72hr Jam coming soon

[FaFeeder112]

Hahahahaha (maybe) jokes, if it isn’t finished by 00:00 13/11/2023 GMT then it aint happening

[FaFeeder112]

Update, main gameplay loop is implemented, art is added for 3 characters, each with a range of 3 to 8 stages. Still need to work out some of the kinks and flesh out the interactions (see what I did there?) Then to add some side stuff so it’s less of a button masher and more of an interactable experience but yeah, looks like this may actually exist by the end of the current 22hr deadline

[jeffskeep]

Is this a protag-wg too?

[FaFeeder112]

Yes, there are currently 2 NPC’s + Protag WG making a total of 3 characters. Protag and 1 of the NPC’s have 8 stages, npc 2 starts at stage 5 so only has 3 stages

[Isabella]

is the protag male or female?

[FaFeeder112]

female protag, our lord and saviour krod has fixed the tags on the thread

[Isabella]

Neat, the tags on the Freshman Year forum were confusing me

[FaFeeder112]

for freshman year, the protag is male but there is no protag weightgain

[Isabella]

Ah I knew something was off, I kept confusing both of them thinking you were gonna release the first demo version of the freshman year in 48 hours .-.
