One thing that bugged me about that path is that your roommate (the other one) gained weight no matter what. There is an interaction with a fox showing you a sequence where she never gained any weight, but i wish you could have actually played through that route as well

That is true. I always found that one roommate (Chika I think?) the most underbaked part of the game, and honestly I sometimes wonder if the game wouldn’t have been better off without her (leaving just the main character, Eirika and eventually Nene). The fact the player has zero say in the way her story progresses and yet she’s in a massive percentage of scenes is a bit of a let down to say the least lol. Though I understand having to make variations for each variation of four different characters whenever Eirika, Nene, Akane and Chika share the same scene would be utterly insane.

I’m pretty sure the only justification for her being there is just to introduce Akane to the job to earn money. Maybe she is just there so 95% of interactions are just between erika and akane. Honestly, if i were to remake the game i personally would probably remove her, or add her later as some kind of option.

So funny, if you death for this game continuated, you can’t play that game
Rereading this i realize it might come off as mean - I actually think the existence of chika is fine, but she should have stayed skinny by default. It would be great if she was someone who is not in on it, judging akane not realizing its erikas fault or something like that. We really only have directly sexual humiliation, actual humiliation would have been great, one where chika would have not done it out of a secret desire to ruin akane but instead genuine disgust

Hey guys, i have been working reverse engineering bobos code, and trying out blender n’stuff. Don’t wanna give anyone false hope, since this is also a solo project, but i am planning to essentially remake the game, with new images and models (The blender files for the original scenes were not included in the fillmeup file). I’ve been working on it for a week, just learning blender and renpy. I wanna know if i would get into hot water if i would reuse the script and story - I would ask bobo but they completely disappeared. I’ll show some images i made in blender, and if i can cooble together a demo i would make it it’s own topic of course.

it is abandoned ware, as long as you make it your own I see no problem but I haven’t looked at the rules here recently so I don’t know if this is of any violation. I still say go for it as this was one of the better VN here. Just make sure to freshen it up into your own.

I certainly will plan to make some changes, but in some ways it will be similar. But i suppose for as long as i don’t release any of bobos paid content and don’t charge money for it it should be fine

Godspeed my friend, it will be nice to see this Project brought back to life.
I would rewrite the script with a similar plot. Besides that the original could use it in some places anyway (mostly stuff that was unfinished or half-baked), that would make it a guaranteed fan project rather than a straight copy.

I am definitely interested in that, but i believe for now i will recreate the intro with the blender characters i have created. After that i would definitely be open to suggestions. I have already created a model for Amane (nudge nudge) and Eris (who is the character depicted in the two pictures in one of my posts above). I am still however thinking about including a chika character, as in a third roommate. I will probably have the intro tomorrow, and i will make quick stand-ins for rin and chika. I plan (if i do all this fully) to first finish recreating or approximating a main route, and branching paths later. This game was all about branching paths, but i think i need to focus on one route so i can more easily plan around divergent routes. I’ll send in two pictures of Amane though, the main girl.
(Also just for the record, i do not plan to implement ai generated images in this. I think it is unethical for one, but i also dislike how it looks and the smears and inconsistincies are a major turn off)

First one is in casual outfit, second one in sports outfit, eating a pizza.
One more thing, are you familiar with renpy code? Even if you are not, it is not so bad, it is easy to understand. After i finish the intro images i can send them to you, if you want to try writing already
That would sound like a plan
Get the primary route set so you have an idea of how things work before moving onto secondary routes or adding other characters.
A lot of games have an issue where they get into the main route then begin adding a host of other characters that stagnate development as attention is now split between the main game and multiple secondary characters.

About adding a Chika character, I would say it is only worth doing if you plan on doing something else with her (most likely making her gain depending on player’s choices instead of having her gain regardless)
Depending on what your plans are, you could “fuse” Chika and Nene (keep the sibling relationship with the main character but have Nene appear earlier in the story instead of near the very end). Or you could keep them separate characters and make Chika gain depending on your choices during the work sessions…

I get what you are saying, but nenes role as someone who knew Akane before and sees her after the transformation is pretty effective in my opinion. I would not want to put nene earlier, i am sorry to say. I may just leave out chika i think. I did not make a model for nene yet either, as i am still in the intro portion and have not yet felt the need for it. The models for Rin and chika are already done. Though it is not certain that chika will be added right now, i might add her when i make more routes. Gonna have to adjust some images if i ever
add her, but i’d rather not put too much on my plate for now.

Hey, i wanted to ask if you would still be interested. I did already make a draft of the first part of the intro. I also adjusted the script a bit. I would like an answer if your up to it!

Probably not in the short term (I’m 2 days out from a week-long trip, for one) and I was talking more as a figure of speech, but I could look into Renpy a bit. I’ve done some coding in Python and stuff so from what I recall having translated some stuff in Renpy years ago, it shouldn’t be too bad to learn how to write in it.
I’ll probably need to play through the original again though because honestly I’ve forgotten the finer details on a lot of it.
Chef make your tag and take your place. Be inspired and make the game

That is fine. I am rewriting it as of now, So may be i’ll have other people look over it once i have a demo
