Forks: A Weight Gain Visual Novel (Cancelled, all assets posted for everyone)

Man with every passing day my hype increases more. New updates even more so.Even if I know there’s a chance that it may not be released until next month… that ain’t stopping my hype train.

Where can I access the latest version of the game? sry kinda lost XD

Theres currently only one demo, but that one is pretty old. A new demo is coming pretty soon though, probably later this month or early next month if I recall.

Yep. Though you could still play it if you want.

Also just a theory for now. There’s really hasn’t been a major update in nearly 2 weeks so I wanna say they’re already putting the final touches on the demo. I could be wrong after all. So take this with a grain of salt.

never say that stuff it’s counting chickens before they hatch always sit in a dark room chanting to the gods they finish never openly say it

Same. I been checking this place daily even before I made an account just cause the first teaser while bare bone compared this did peak my interest cause it sorta reminded of this comic I read way back when.

Honestly my first attempt of the demo would probably be to go for Morgan and Grace since those two designs stick out to me. But I plan to try everyone when I get the time.

I can’t wait for this big demo. Forks is actually a big inspiration for why I’m creating a game.

Of course, there are two key differences.

One, Forks has a chance of seeing the light of day before 2024.

And two, my computer can run it without catching on fire.

Hey, all! I didn’t want to let anyone go hungry before Thanksgiving, so I’m here with a quick update.

Presently (I have the windows minimized in my taskbar as I type this) we are deep in the polishing phase. Our resident wunderkind coder, @e123b, is busy with life at the moment but has continued to do soooo much for this project. He’s taken complicated problems I could only start to address and created simple tools to make the process easy- so easy even I can use them :sweat_smile:. Honestly, It’s like having my own modding tools! He’s saved the team so much time and frustration, and Forks is going to be that much better for his efforts.

Art-wise, Toro has a little over 2 more CGs to do, and then his demo workload is done. Juggling life and other projects, it’s taken time to give 7 CGs his all, but the results will speak for themselves.


Screw volleyball, there’s chocolate on the beach! Who would be so cruel?!

You’ll notice that CG’s changed significantly from when it was last previewed, it shows how much can happen between the sketch and final render! Here’s the latest WIP CG, with some final additions and editing still to come:


It’s exactly what it looks like, everyone goes to space.

Music! Our lovely composer, Ars, is working through the last song on the demo track list, and I’ll be listening to a WIP of it later tonight. Original demo had 12 tracks, and the new one has 21! With all luck, it’ll be good to go shortly :grin:

Writing, that’s my job! I’m crunching through the script, editing and consolidating lines, as well as making sure this chimera of a project has good continuity. A lot’s happened in my life since I started writing Forks, and I need to keep consistency! While it’s difficult to gauge just how long the demo script is, it does cross 11700 lines:

Though lines are split between characters, but not when the same character has multiple, so it’s iffy:


All I can definitively say is that it’s longer than the current demo script :stuck_out_tongue:

We are all working to get this demo out ASAP, and while I think we can do it in time, it won’t be as polished as we’d like. I’m sorry if we miss the deadline, we weren’t expecting the roadblocks that ended up coming our way. There really isn’t much more to do, it’s just making sure the last 2% is 100% of what we want. Rest assured that Forks is coming! There’s just… A lot more of it than there used to be :open_mouth:

Hope you all have a nice holiday, and I sure wish the next thing I post here is the new demo link!

Edit: Going to add that the next demo has less clicking. Way. Less. Clicking. If reading the current demo feels like work, then the new one can hopefully give your fingers and eyes a rest.
