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

Great start so far, will you be adding a patreon or something?

Not every game creator needs to make money off their products…

It would be nice to have some kind of document explaining what each of the products you buy in the shop do.

The incense doesn’t seem to do much.

Also, is it possible to change your body shape? Will that be added with eg. the vials?

The biggest problem I have so far, though, is the lack of multiple save files. I want to be able to go back and read certain things again. That would be the most important new feature to add.

Quite normal wanting to support a creator though, not sure why you feel the need to answer for them.

I’m not planning on making a patreon, but if you do feel so inclined, there is a support this game button on the itch page where you can donate towards the games development. But I want to keep the game free to play

I will look into figuring out how to implement multiple saves

What does the incense do?

Provides a small increase to weight that doesn’t use up energy as well as increase your characters hidden gluttony statistic which helps unlock certain events or determines the outcome of some scenarios. (I didnt want to outright say what the items do in the narrative, hence the line when you burn one about you feeling your body tingling and your stomach growling.)

Also, is it possible to change your body shape? Will that be added with eg. different vials (instead of giving a massive expansion)?

Currently(?) not permanently, but the vials do affect the player. Open the inventory after buying them.

there should be a cheat mode

Honestly getting ready for work needs to be a button that doesn’t require quite so much scrolling down, why not place it right on top of the image? I spend like half my time scrolling down past blank lines in this game.

EDIT:

can the ae/be/hyper vials be used on anyone but yourself yet?

also the game has “save” as a feature, but uh, “load” doesn’t exist? so “save” isn’t much use?

BE can be used on the Baker). Saving only stores one file and the Load option appears when you reload the game (for me closing and reopening the tab does this), it’s the first option available.

In this patch, after having the dream about the shop attendant, the next day of work is broken - I got the option to work overtime and whether you work overtime or not, the link to continue on and end the day / go to the “home” menu is not there. This happened when I used incense and espresso or just one of them or neither.

Getting Beth’s number may also be broken - I ran into her during weight stage 2, but I never actually got her number later in the game when I thought I remembered getting it before. Not as sure on that one though.

the game just falls apart after that point it seems

you can get to the next WG stage also by buying the 2nd scroll and eating out with Jamie during WG stage 5

Plus a number of images seem to have broken in some of the later stages again

It was pretty functional last patch but these things can be delicate. It could be as simple as a missing parenthesis somewhere in the code that governs Jamie’s actions, for example, since I did notice a lot of images related to Jamie were bugged too.

Okay I think I figured out the issue with the goth morning event, variables that care about overtime were not being reset properly. And the jump to WG stage 6 was in fact due to a missing bracket. Ugh. As for images, I will have to scour through the game to find the issues. Thanks for the feed back, you are right, this coding thing is very delicate.

Patch 0.3.1

  • Goth dream should properly reset values now
  • Going for dinner with Jamie won’t make you go to next weight stage
  • Hot Dog Contest 2 link fixed
  • Fairy intro scene link fixed
  • Beth shouldn’t appear during walks in stage 6 anymore that aren’t supposed to include her.
  • Addressed some broken image links

Found two issues,

The dieting and rude member of the work place can’t be given a voucher for some reason

Also the items you get at stage 5 do not register properly making fattening up the fairy that much harder and the shop doesn’t not show up after you met said fairy the first time
