Hiya. I’m the guy who did “Unstable Frienemies” and “Fat Focused”.
I spent quite a bit of time doing an in-house proof-of-concept to determine if I could make a clicker incremental in Ren’Py. (Yes. But it is too clunkily to put out for general consumption. I may try again in a different language later.)
At present, I’m reusing most of those visual assets for an idle incremental, again in Ren’Py. Having a real bear of a time getting the save/load/quit/persistent data to play nicely, but it’s slowly coming along.
I generally get ideas faster than I can implement them, so this post is to poll what might pique people’s interests. I’m not promising to aim future projects according to the results, but it’d be good to know what you might look forward to. Which of these, if any, would be up your alley? (You can vote for multiple, if a few interest you.)
- Real Estate Management Simulator - run a shitty apartment complex. The love interest is exploiting a loophole in her lease that lets her avoid paying rent as long as she gains 1% of her current weight each month
- Villiage Builder / War Simulator - post-apocalyptic revenge thriller about building up a small army to kill the despot who killed your parents. Getting fat gives social capital - it’s proof your villiage is succeeding, or at least not starving. Worker placement / Dice management mechanics.
- Gain weight as a college student to win a competition. Limited time stat-builder ala Long Live The Queen / True Love 95 / Seasons of the Sakura / 00’s flash dating sims.
- You’ve been kidnapped by a pishtaco. Keep getting fatter so they don’t immediately harvest you, while doing Escape Room / Psyops stuff to flee / kill her / seduce her / etc.
- A supervillain has almost completed Project Chronos, when his alter ego meets the girl of his dreams - a good natured foodee with a gluttonous streak. Counter your superhero antagonist and the clone(?) of you who has shown up, complete the project (maybe), win the girl (or don’t)
- Dungeon Crawler ‘blobber’ style. Breed slimes, who gain stats and abilities based on their DNA sequencing, using your own reproductive system as a breeding tank.
- Real time phone app. Set your calendar (work/study/relax) and see your stats adjust accordingly over the course of real world days, while staying in contact with your GF touring Europe (and getting a bit …decadent…)
- None of the above
