Gain of Life: A weight gain life simulator [v0.50.0]

There is a new version for all Patrons including a lot of adjustments and bug fixes. Mostly for the college projects, because the algorithm is amazingly complex for that. All Silver- and Gold-Patrons can download the new version.

I have to thank all of my Patrons, who decided to support the game on Patreon. All the money raised through Patreon is going directly back into the game, as 3d assets, … Without my Patrons this game wouldn’t be possible like it is right now.

In October I did a Halloween version (v0.3) with Banjamin Greenford, the guy who owns the castle. For christmas, I found a gingerbread house in the daz3d store. So I was thinking of adding this house and based on an old fairy a witch lives in that house. Somehow (not yet sure how) you will be able to find the gingerbread house, far away from the city (maybe Jane or somebody will ask you if you want to go hiking and in the mountains you get lost. You then start searching for the trail hours long, unsuccessfuly until you find the house. The hunger-stats of your character will be low at this point). The witch will come outside and ask you in. The witch will then start serving food and offer you to stay at her house for a night, because dangerous animals are around that area at night (so you agree). I do not want to spoiler my idea as a whole, I have some ideas, not sure which one I will pick, but there will be a whole story in the gingerbread house.

So I was wondering three things:
1. Did you like the library of Benjamin Greenford (v0.3)? (0% = No, 100% = Yes)

3. What do you think about the gingerbread-house-idea? (0% = I hate it, 100% = I love it)

I’m not sure how I missed the event but I wasn’t able to go to the party, and I couldn’t do meet the other guy either because of it.

Jane will ask you if you want to go to the party on Saturday (between 18:00 and 21:00). Only then you can go. I do not like the way the party is handled right now, I might change that in the future.

So I was wonder what food converts quickly in cal? I’m Having a hard time getting past 135, and In 3.0 Is there a point of going to college?

I believe I said yes to her, but I never saw the ability go go there. Is it under to go out?

Short answer: donuts (most efficient food), weight gain shake (most efficient drink), cake, coke, …

Long answer:
Every food/drink is built out of following components:

  • Calories:
    This is what gets converted to fat over time.
  • Fullness:
    This is how much you are able to eat of it.
  • Expiry:
    This is how long it takes until food is completely converted.

(I am not sure about the exact numbers), but donuts are great to gain weight. Currently, in v0.5 they have around 200cal, 4h expiry and 50 fullness.

Here an example:

  1. 7am: You eat a donut
    → 200cal, 4h left, 50
  2. 8am: converted 1/4:
    → 150cal, 3h left, 37.5
  3. 9am: converted 1/4
    → 100cal, 2h left, 25
  4. 10am: converted 1/4
    → 50cal, 1h left, 12.5
  5. 11am: converted last 1/4
    → 0cal, 0h left, 0.0 (completely converted)

Pizza for example has a larger amount of calories than donuts, but takes longer to convert…I might make a nuitrition table for the game someday…

It should appear in the first weekof school, on Saturday at 18:00 on the main menu (Go to kitchen, weigh yourself, …)

I somehow missed it this playthrough, just was not there.

So I go to work have 4 doughnuts that are 800 Cal, will it take 4 hours or 16 hours to burn through?

If you eat them all at the same time (e.g. all 4 at 7:00), it will take 4 hours, because each process is on its self. If you eat one, wait until it’s processed, eat another one [and so on…] it will take 16 hours.

For December there is a second version planned, including some features specifically for Christmas (with the gingerbread house). In the last week, I was totally stressed, I had to lots more work than usual, probably because of Christmas. The planned Christmas version was planned to be released on the 20th of December, but if there are some issues I won’t be able to. So in the worst case, the version will be released sometime after Christmas because I will spend Christmas with my family. However, I try my best to be ready on time, or at least before Christmas.

Will there be male weight gain in this? I’m only asking because it’s tagged as male and I’ve been on the hunt for games on here that feature male weight gain

1 Like

that’s fine the holidays this time of year are for family and relaxing if it means a couple weeks extra waiting its fine

I don’t believe there is but maybe the dev plans it?

The main focus of the game is on females, but later in development, when the basic and advanced story are done, there will be multiple characters to choose from (in order to choose who you want to play). I am not sure if there will be an option to choose a male as main character. I can’t tell more about something that’s so far away from the current point of time, it depends a lot on how the game develops and grows.

Merry Christmas everyone, I’m so sorry I could not finish the witch-story before christamas :confused: It will be part of the January version though!

Yesterday while rendering my laptop overheated…I will clean the cooler, it’s all dusty, tomorrow and then continue on the next version…

Today I was making plans for 2021 and as it seems the game will most probably not be finished in a year. So I was wondering if I should offer an annual membership on Patreon giving annual Patrons one month of subscription for free?

  • Yes, I will buy it
  • Yes, others might buy it
  • No, one month is too less
  • No, too much risk
  • No, I don’t like the idea
  • I don’t care

I am still thinking of the risk factor if I find a different platform, which is better than Patreon, because then I will post everything twice in order to give annual Patrons their rewards. Also, the annual membership has the benefit I get a rapidly big budget, within one month, where I can very easily make decisions for buying 3d assets, basically taking money from the next month into a previous month if a version needs more 3d assets than another one. Does maybe somebody know a good alternative to Patreon?
