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

Dont tell me that toro is redoing all of arias art again, is he?

I really love this game and I am so happy a new update is finally here!! After some testing I even got it to play on Android instead of PC. Everything works fine just the progress app on the phone won’t work while playing it on Android.

Are those 3 new scenes at the end of the story? Or mingled in the middle? And if they are mingled in the middle, do you recall which 3 are new?

edit: Sidenote, uh, so, I started a new game, and I can’t skip through any previously seen text? so either the introduction was entirely rewritten between the WIP and today’s release, or the persistent file isn’t working for me (anyone else notice this?)

edit2: Yeah, the introduction has been like totally rewritten since march, I like it better this way.

edit3: I think the persistent file be broken in addition to all the minor rewrites :smiley: because I’ve gotten to some things that look unedited and they won’t skip, oh well, it’s a great read even if I’m rereading a lot now (worth it for new edits.)

edit4: I’m fairly sure no one from ohio would say that colorado is south of ohio. Maybe make it cleveland? (a snowier city within ohio.) Colorado is a snowy mountain and ohio is a flat plain that gets less snow (outside of the lake effect.)

How to open this data ? I would like to see them

A drag and drop tool that extracts RPA files: RPA Extract by iwanPlays

When i opened the RPA files it didnt have any of the newer images, im on ForksTeaser016-016-pc is this the right build?

between the wip this winter and yesterday’s release there are 24 new images in the images folder (not counting the gui folder)

Thanks for the help ! Could see some nice stuff but not the stages ! They are hidden well !

I’m seeing the following error in the new version, which seems like it might be related to my version of RenPy?

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
  File "game/script.rpy", line 2106, in script
    a "{i}Did last night really happen? I spill to my best friend {i}again{/i} and agree to an all or nothing Caketime?{/i}"
  File "game/script.rpy", line 1031, in sayfunc
    result = w(what, interact=interact, *args, **kwargs)
  File "game/screens.rpy", line 3713, in render
    self.font = font.Font(fontfile.name, self.label_size)
NotImplementedError: Could not import pygame_sdl2.font: No module named 'pygame_sdl2.font'

Thank you for the detailed guide too, may I reference it in the OP?

@Tron You are so welcome! Of course you can, I’m flattered you find it useful!

Are those 3 new scenes at the end of the story?

@namad Yup!

It might have been a while, but honestly who cares? I completely forgot how fun this little visual novel is and it seems to have drastically improved since the last update.

Honestly, I’d put it up near Some Bullshit in terms of being one of the best long-running games on this site (E.T.D. doesn’t count), you’re remarkably good to make it this appealing, considering the Visual Novel aspect. Fun little setting, enjoyable characters and good artwork I’m pretty sure has improved all help quite a lot. Great work, mate, sincerely.

Addendum; You’ve, uh… really been laying on the lesbian theme pretty thick after the break chapter, huh? Up until then, it was only hinted at, but now it kind of refuses to let up, with ‘we were dating’ ‘I am gay’ both being the forefront of several conversations and Rea suddenly outright proposing full-on group nudity (unless that’s just her being her, but I swear she wasn’t this much of a bitch before the end of the break chapter). Am I condemning this for such a thing? Not necessarily, but it’s rather jarring considering all that happened previously was Alex’s stated fondness for chubby girls (yeah, it was obvious from conversations and her observations, but never awkwardly forced into dialogue, she sounds like an angsty teenager when ranting at and about her family) and Rea being a cheeky little gremlin.

Character-wise;
Alex is a cute girl, but her talks with her mother and attitude regarding her father come off as a selfish kid who doesn’t understand that her family really is concerned for her (which admittedly might be the point)
Hannah’s an earnest, overbearing, well-meaning, ADORABLE young lady.
Morgan’s a cute little sweetheart.
Grace is a complete oddball and that makes her all the more lovable.
Rea is a selfish bitch with a cute design. Doesn’t change the fact that she’s an insufferable cunt who deserves to be thrown off a skyscraper without a parachute.

When on Rea’s route there is broken dialogue during the phone call with Andrew about going to the summer house.

While on Hannah’s route, while talking to Rea about her weight the last time it’s listed as KG in the dialogue but in Lbs in the phone (using metric option)

I’ve downloaded the latest version of the game and extracted the archive.rpa, but I can’t seem to find Rea at size 4. The folders only go up to size 3. Where’s Rea at size 4 hidden?

Tron strikes again! I just downloaded the copy of Forks from itch and it’s not the same zipfile. Just to check I re-extracted its RPA and found images/portrait/Morgan/3 and images/portrait/Rea/4 missing, when they were in the original upload.

I guess if you snooze you lose :person_shrugging:

Is there a way to fast forward or skip? It’s a pretty long game, and if the beginning hasn’t changed I’d like to be able to skip going through some of the earlier content again.

Yes, easily? just press tab or hold ctrl, by default this skips only scenes you’ve read in the current format, but if you don’t want to watch minor edits, you can go to the options menu and set the checkmark to skip unseen text. Then fly at warp speed through everything and anything, until you reach the content you want to stop fast forward and read and let go of ctrl or tap tab again.

This is a default ren’py feature.
