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

I had made the ability to meet the fairy available in stage 4 but I had missed adding the grocery to that stage as well. I have updated the code to include that. As for the rude member of staff, you aren’t able to give her a voucher into slightly later into the game than the other women you work with.

Even when that option becomes available though, it’s bugged, and consumes the voucher without doing anything.

Another small bug - the option for 2nd and 3rd hotdog eating contests become available at the same time.

I also got an “immaculate bagel” which I think was supposed to be for the fairy but was unable to feed it to her or use it in any other way I could find.

There are some broken links, like when Jamie tries to feed you in work, and you cant advance, the link is broken. Or sometimes the walk animation doesnt show anything and you have to turn back.

That feeding scene at work works - the link is just very very subtle. The last word at the end in blue I believe is the link forward; it doesn’t show up in traditional hypertext colors.

I can confirm though I had the same issue with “walk” occasionally not showing anything in I believe it was stage 5, after the closet feeding scene.

Sorry man but i just gave the new update a go and most of the weight gain stage images now don’t work and found that very few of the coworker images show up now. Just a heads up mate!

Also none of the date images show up now either. Just letting you know!

Thank you for the heads up, I am working through playtesting to try and find the broken images, I will try and get a patch up as soon as I can.

And again: thank you for all the hard work on this! This is one of the best and fastest-updated projects I’ve seen in a while. I appreciate your passion and I appreciate how extensive of a game you’ve built in a relatively short span of time.

echo Urukill thank you for the hard work! I love the game so far!

I think the rampant broken images in this update might be part of a more foundational issue rather than the the individual images themselves(at least in most cases). I’ve done a few differenet runs on 0.3 builds, and each time different images are broken. They seem to happen more often the longer the session goes on.

hey been playing for an hour now just trying to wonder how to go grocery shopping if its been implemented yet

here’s some progressive spoilers for you

  1. You can’t do it for yourself. You do it for a character you meet.

  2. In Weight Stage 4, a Golden Dubloon will appear in the shop. You can give groceries to the character you meet from that.

  3. Toss the Golden Dubloon in the Fountain when it shows up while walking. The grocery store I believe should have a chance to appear when you walk after that. It may currently be bugged.

ok thank you i was walking for a bit but no worries if its bugged ill wait for the next update this game i find has allot of replay ability in my eyes

​Patch 0.3.2

  • Fixed Black screen that would show up if a certain coworker was given a voucher
  • FIxed the walk so that you wouldn’t see Beth’s phone event multiple times
  • Fixed the coin event at the fountain so that you no longer will go back to previous weight stage
  • Fixed code in fairy intro scene so that grocery will be properly unlocked
  • Coworkers should respond to receiving a voucher now
  • The secondary hot dog events will not show up simultaneously anymore
  • Fixed some broken links
  • Fixed some broken images
  • corrected some grammar

Of note, due to how the interaction with the fairy is implemented if you are on an old save that has already encountered her you will not get access to the grocery store, in that case you will have to restart on a new save, my apologies.

Also, for those of you that are experiencing many image breaks. During my playtesting I can across a couple but not nearly enough to align with how people were describing it. So I delved into the depths of the interwebs to do some research. Apparently if you are on a different OS (I am on windows) then your browser might not be able to properly read the file names that have been uploaded with the game. One solution that I have seen suggests that I may need to rename my image files to not include spaces, as well as to change the file paths away from backslashes to forward slashes, I may look into implementing that, but it will be a time consuming process considering how many images there are already in the game. That will likely have to be its own sperate update.

Case sensitivity is also an issue on other operating systems; ‘A’ and ‘a’ are different letters. So as a contrived example, if you had one image named “Jamie.png” but referenced it as “jamie.png” in twine or vice versa, the image may fail to load. Windows will hide this problem since it ignores case in filenames. This can be sidestepped by consistently using only lowercase or uppercase letters, not both.

Yeah, that is where the majority of previous broken image issues arised, that I know how to fix without much hassle and I can catch in my testing, images not working on other devices is something I can’t know about until after the fact

I am also on windows and every version of 0.3.0+ has been pretty painless in terms of image breaking. I’ve only had a few and they resolved themselves by refreshing the webpage.

Sounds like it may indeed be a OS issue.

Looks like getting the 100 count of espresso functions the same as buying the 10 count - only pay 50, only get 10.

three questions on the newest build

Summary
  1. It seems like the girl will not accept the voucher, is there a time limit on it?
  2. I cannot offer the fairy anymore stuff all it says is give fruit and nothing appears, I have given it all the way up through watermelon
  3. Do multiple feeding sessions with Stephanie do anything? Or is it more for show?
