Girthbound 1.8 The Heavy Update

This hack does not feature weight gain. Only fat characters. However I have learned it is possible to program a weight gain feature! I’m currently taking a break from this project so it’ll be awhile for me to fully implement it

Weight gain feature in earthbound? I already loved this project since it was first made, so if that got added to it would honestly be a dream game, I’d even pay for it!

kind of like ask a question when you have time answer Mr.Spiffy Do weight gain going act like a buff/debuff when party member gain too much weight from eating too much food or do party member normally gain weight by eating food or so? (sorry if this is dumb question!)

They should look like this. If that’s not the case then maybe an older version was posted?
If it is an older version, I can update it real quick. Don’t worry, updating the mod won’t hurt your save so long as you name the rom the same as the previous one.

What do you mean by “install?” Are you having trouble downloading it or?

To all the people asking “how do”, there’s an installation TXT in the zip file with detailed instructions.

I’ll repeat my thoughts from what I said on twitter.

As someone who’s tried to Hack Earthbound, I am ABSOULTELY impressed

Honestly, I am not a fan of the original characters, so I don’t mind that they’re replaced with anthros.

I do have to say, maybe it’s not my general prefered style of fat, but it’d be cool to see some more enemies that are round and mobile looking instead of the more blobbish look a lot of them have.
