Fill Me Up (Formally "Untitled renpy feedee game") "January" update now available on Patreon.

So I was toying with an idea to have certain scenes that repeat (The mirror for example) have a sort of idle animation attached to them.
I was interested in you guy’s thoughts as I can’t tell if they’re distracting or not.
Obviously I’d make them smoother, but I whipped this up as a concept.

Thoughts?

I like the concept of idle animations/animations. It wouldn’t be distracting to me and it seems like it would be a good fit for the game.

would certainly be new, although better to ask those someone like @tiggertoo though i think he has the most experience when it comes to 3d character models for daz3d (if your using that one) but i think its a sound idea and adds more personality to the game however i think the issues is with the larger sizes might cause it do it things you don’t want it to do in animation effects so you might want to ask someone like them first before going ahead

Only a recommendation from an admirer of the game, but I would encourage you to work on events first and get them nearly done before adding this polish (which might make the game size too large). Once you have most of the events done you can throw in those idle animations a few at a time to see how it effects your game size.

I like the concept if it works, but definitely focus on ironing out bugs and finishing events and the base game first.

Awesome. Not distracting. Although I think the main day/time menu should maybe not have them. Since that screen is shown most often, and you can’t avoid it. Ideally though all the sub options could include a cool idle animation at their fork/choices.

He’s using blender. daz art looks nothing like this. Blender is much superior to daz for animating, but doesn’t include the depth/breadth of stock scene items/backgrounds/outfits/etc. That’s why it makes sense I think to add idle animations, rather than populating more details into things like outfits/backgrounds.

The bugs are almost all identical, adding the word return (or extra copies of jump stageone or jumpadvancetime as needed outside/inside the ifs) to like 4-6 different spots in the game would fix it. Although it’s mostly a stylistic thing. When writing ren’py games that are non-linear you don’t want to spill through functions, and personally I wouldn’t spill through quite so many ifs.

It makes sense for a first time ren’py coder slash most likely first time python coder to run into this issue. Python specifically by using perfect white space alignment instead of endless {} () is more human readable but this one niche bug of spilling through the code is an extremely easy error to make.

tl;dr The bugs are really all quite simple, shouldn’t be hard to fix them.

I think that would fit well for the mirror scenes, and the couch potato scenes also come to mind

But i can imagine thats going to improve for the better in due time.

Its very promising as an game :heart_eyes:

I don’t know anything about building a game, but I will say that I enjoyed your game very much and will be very excited for the next update. Also Chika is my favorite. Thank you for making this game.

@JFHAS I’d like to remind you it’s against the site rules to ask about an update from a dev FAQ - Weight Gaming

I’m looking forward to it. It is nice time to go through you nice game. It is raining here but I’m able to spend nice time with this game.

ah so this must be the new character? or is this a nearly fully slimmed down Erika?

There aren’t many games with a feedee mc out there and I absolutely love this game! Keep up the good work!

Amazing prospects for this game so far.
I’ve enjoyed it wholeheartedly, there were some rough edges like bugs, typos and things alike, but it didn’t spoil the whole thing too much.
The most prominent bug was timeloop after refusing the burger. Also, there was a blank “wait” scene at the level two, I think. Got both dreams not so far deep into the game, felt pretty satisfied with what I’ve seen.

Anyway, fellow feeders, gather round.
How do we feed both Erika and Chika? Maybe I missed something, but I was unable to “rebound” Erika. I understand it requires a lot of work for the dev to complete entirely different branch of the story, so… We can only hope if it would be true.

I’d not mind some light “cheaty” pivot points, basically uno reverse card to play flip the story in the opposite direction midway through.

Cool revenge, huh, Erika?

But an option to lose weight post stage 2, or at the very least the possibility to sabotage Erika with her getting into mutual weight gain would be a fun thing. Maybe Akane will conspire with Erika’s ex bf to nuke all of her efforts to lose weight? Especially sweet it can be during the middle or late stages of Akane’s gain, since that dude might show interest in her? Or maybe she would actively search for him at the level 2/3 when it becomes obvious she can’t backtrack Erika and loses her position of power?

@loljuicepwn
Mischievous times indeed, put that bulking powder into her shakes, pills to slow down her metabolism, etc. Yeah, more weight management options for both girls and MC that you are in direct control of.

Speaking of metrics, it’d be really useful. Some people want to see the numbers (with graphs maybe too) in regards of weight management and time management. Display of game data (levels of characters, their weight, so on.

I’d say it once more, it’s amazing. Feels really novel and with a lot of momentum, have only the best feelings about it. Absolutely love the choice-based games, the bigger the variety, the better, cheers!

For the time being the feed Chika option for the rebound scene isn’t in the game yet.

Like you suggested. If you can perform enough actions at stage three to sabotage Erika, it will split the story so she rebounds. Working on that stuff right now.

Hi, I played the game multiple times and I really liked it, and I also came up with multiple ideas I wanted to share. I hope some of them may be useful. Thank you again for the game and sorry about my english, I speak spanish :sweat_smile:

-If Akane rejects Erika’s shakes sometimes, Akane may regret it and decide to go get a shake for herself after the gym without Erika knowing, helping to sabotage Erika’s diet and at the same time causing Akane to give in to her desires. This may result in the days when Erika does not offer Akane coffee, Akane may decide to go for one for herself, and later, once Akane regularly accepts coffees, she may decide to go for another. after the gym, of course making that after a certain point you can’t deny it if you’ve been too lenient. You can do something similar with burgers or have Akane directly suggest Erika go to the Burger place to eat and sabotage her diet.

-about the midnight donuts, it would be great if erika listened to akane and bought more donuts in later stages and make akane convince erika to eat some because she is very full or eat them all with erika’s help. Also, if you’ve been lenient, it would be nice if Akane couldn’t refuse the donuts Erika offers her or even wake up before Erika does and start eating some without her.

-It would also be good that in first stage, while you wait you can see food lying around the house and you choose whether to eat it or not. In later stages Akane directly grabs something to eat, chooses to grab more than one donut, or directly appears surrounded by donuts on the couch without you being able to decide.

-When the carboload event triggers akane could eat more or less depending on the stage, and have the option to take a little more while erika is asleep, making her realize that food is missing and go to your room to laugh at you.

-in night out with chika, akane can suggest going to dinner earlier so that the alcohol doesn’t affect them so much, although later they drink more because it doesn’t get them high

-In the event in which chika comes home with several donuts while you wait you could refuse to eat making her eat both, offer to eat one and in further stages tell her to buy 3, or 4 instead of just 2. It would also be great that if you refuse donuts but akane starts to get carried away and eat more at other events there will come a point where she can’t refuse donuts and vice versa.

-In later stages you could get out of bed by yourself to get something from the fridge and Erika catches you causing her to eat with you, to feed you or to laught at you

-In later stages on the event of having sex with the stranger in your room, Akane could feel hungry and horny so that she goes down to eat something, making it impossible to decide if she has been indulgent.

-You could add something to the event in which you and chika talk in your room as it is an event that only makes sense the first time, because akane recognizes that she likes to feel fat, but it does not contribute to the gameplay or narrative if repeated. I thought you can convince chika to eat something together or to play with your belly.

-It would also be good if you considered a route where Akane doesn’t really want to gain weight but can’t resist and has a more negative reaction to it, a route where she isn’t a feedee but ends up accepting that she likes to eat and even enjoying it 2 or 3 stages ahead of how it’s done in the current build, though hey, it’s just an idea and would take a lot longer. For example, this route can be conditioned by how she feels about dreams or looking in the mirror when she gains weight.

-Finally, in later stages, when Akane already has stretch marks and sometimes brings a coffee to the gym by herself, she could also decide whether to bring a donut if she has been greedy and make it automatic if she is even more so, plus you can take 2 of each for inviting erika when she’s thinner and sabotage her, or eat it all by yourself.
