A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME
- Extremely new to game development.
- Zero experience coding.
- Experienced storyteller.
- Intermediate Gamer, not entirely familiar with terminology (corrections welcomed)
- Chronic tutorial watcher.
- Not unaware that I’m stepping into a new vast realm I know almost nothing about.
One of my favorite ways of learning is by doing, so I figured I’d set off on this journey to learn how to make a game. So here’s my idea:
THE CORE IDEA
FollowFeed (working title) is set in a world where gaining weight is top tier entertainment. Step into the shoes of an aspiring influencer, as you navigate your particular brand of the weight gain world: From the casual gainers and encouragers to some kinky extremes. Are you a cozy influencer, someone who loves a challenge, or somewhere in between?
Watch as the followers increase with your dedication to the feed.
Bigger is better.
Be careful, though, it’d be a shame if all that weight was gained and suddenly your influence were to suddenly come crashing down… But, don’t worry about that, you never know what will happen on your FollowFeed!
Notes:
I’d like it to be essentially a sandbox(?) style game where the player has control over what they do and what kind of story/experience they want to have.
I’d love for the game to be customizable to the player’s experience, such as gender, sexual orientation, role in the weight gain sphere(e.g. gainer, feeder) maybe even down to having kink opt-ins to unlock certain parts of the game. I’m a gay male, so if I had to pare this down for the sake of starting, I’ll likely start the place I know best.
In terms of actual gameplay
I’d like for the game to be solely of the player character’s desktop. Where the player character can attempt to gain followers and influence by doing livestreams(interacting with chat, live feedings), writing posts, Reading and Sending DMs(romance/kink arcs maybe? maybe a hookup app too), e-mail(sponsorships/partnerships), order delivery, etc. They can either gain followers by gaining weight themselves or helping others gain weight, all while keeping in good graces with the audience they build.
Extra Thoughts:
I realize I have a lot of ideas and if I keep adding on to the list of things and features I’d like to add, I’ll probably never have a playable version of this game. Consider this my brainstorming phase.
I’d love any guidance anyone’s willing to give, I have no idea what engine I’m going to learn to try to do this with, but I have zero money so if anyone has any suggestions, preferably free-- greatly appreciated! As well as any other advice, suggestions for the game itself or questions are welcomed.
