Thanks so much T^T <3 Thatās so encouraging to hear!
Iām cracking away at the full version with all the things Iāve learned in python right now.
My code is still pretty baby but itās somewhat less baby than before and itās coming along!
Iām gunna release an early version 0.1 as soon as I have it at least playable to the content of the demo plus it will have character customization and more variety and daily activities, and the story and characters will actually be written.
After that Iāll be doing some branching paths and slowly adding more and more content based on feedback. Full version 1.0 will be when I have an explorable planet with mild combat and such. (I hope yāall like animated vines and slime monsters lmao)

This is a great start. Love the descriptions and the aspects of weight struggle. Looking forward to more!

Ohhh, i love it! the desc is great and plentiful. Question, will there be any plan to add sound?

Thank you! And I appreciate the question!
I hadnāt really intended to add sound but if thatās something people are interested in, I could certainly do so for a future update. I am pretty sure I do know how to include sound files in RenPy already, so Iāll keep it on the list and gauge interest. ^-^
Got it! Iām just curious thatās all. Even without any sound, the ever-changing description you have rn is enough for me.
Just keep at it, champ!

Thereās already a lot of good signs in here. There seems to be āprotectionā against outgrowing size 10 max clothing, I didnāt encounter any errors where I got too big to function or to make something happen, and the description system was functional but not overwhelming or repetitive. This is a very good start with some thoughtful guard-rails in place.

I dont usually leave messages on any of the forums posts but goddamn for a demo I really love this. It really has that feeling of all those inspired games you mentioned. Please please I beg you continue working in this lmao and I say you should focus fully on the forced-feeding/unwilling weight gain aspects! You rarely see that kind of themes on any recent game as far as I can tell.
My only real complain is that the game loop becomes pretty stale kinda quick due to lack of events or interactions. Do you have future plans in regards to these? like for example, one of the Bug type alien feeders suddenly crossing with the player as they wander around the streets, etc.

Hello! Thanks very much for trying it out and for the kind words.
I honestly feel like thereās such a dearth of good force/unwilling content especially in the game landscape, so that will predominately be the focus. I donāt think itāll take much away to at least allow players the option to consent if they prefer it that way but as far as storytelling and descriptions go itāll definitely cater to my own interests haha.
I do indeed have lots of future plans! Iām working on the actual game on a new file and rebuilding everything from the ground up. I went from knowing basically 5 things in RenPy to some more intermediate Python code in about a week recently because Iāve really been pouring myself into developing these mechanics, and as a result I know how to create way more content now than I did when I was putting together the demo. The demo was really just the absolute basic idea/foundation and no frills to see if I could get it to work at all (and if anyone else was interested in it).
The full version will have a lot more stuff to do. Current plans for 0.1 of the full game are to have new places to discover in the world, the ability to meet and interact with about 6-7 NPCs Iāve had written up for a while for this project, (some of which are there to feed you and some are there to shame you/humiliate you) and more interactive mechanics during club scenes/feeding encounters. The bug type aliens are one of three major story paths Iām planning to include, so yes there will certainly be encounters outside the club as well.
The ultimate goal for me to consider the game roughly āfinishedā (although Iāll likely still want to update it with some new features or expand on certain things afterwards) will be for the player to be able to explore a nearby terrestrial body (moon/planet type thing) and have light combat/monster encounters. Thereās a few posts in this thread where I talk about some of these things if you wish to read up on them. ^-^
The response so far has been very encouraging so Iām quite motivated to finish it and flesh out the things I wanted to include. Iām not sure when 0.1 will be finished but Iāll post it as soon as it is. Right now Iām focusing on getting the mechanical/mathematical aspects just right so I can build out from there and easily add in events and encounters, it will probably need a bit of play-testing as well to make sure things perform at the pace I want. Thanks again! Iāll be updating this thread with progress regularly.
Edit: Might serve as a fun teaser, hereās my current TODOs

Strong agree. We need more MCs that arenāt excited by the idea of becoming fat. From what Iāve been hearing about this game, if you end up adding an option for a female PC, youāll have made my perfect game. Of course, if you donāt thatās also okay. Iād be a hypocrite if I went around asking devs to make content they donāt want to make.

Thatās a really based take
BUT you may be happy to know the female PC option is already in my new build :3
(The one I havenāt yet finished and released yet to be clear)
Wasnāt really too hard to create a simple system to change up pronouns and a few identifiers actually. There IS apparently some sort of widget or module or something out there someoneās made for MC pronouns but I learned a lot more by just making my own.
It wonāt be super detailed on anatomy or anything (for either gender) and there are some female-specific gameplay paths Iām sure people would like but those will have to come in a future update.
Last night I managed to get my customizable wardrobe options to work as well so you can even buy dresses and stuff (and then outgrow them) when I get the full game to a playable state.
Edit: Ayo I just realized who Iām talking to?
Iām so honored/flattered, considering one of your games was one of my biggest inspirations. T^T
I ALSO had a lot of fun with Lipomancerās Ruins, excited to see more content in that setting.

Oh shit, really?
Canāt wait to try it out when that comes out, then.
Also hi, it is I. I am also honored/flattered that you hold my games in such high regard. Hopefully I can live up to that excitement this year with some new games/updates to my current ones, should the winds of motivation and scheduling allow it.

For sure, Abducted is a huge influence for me wanting to make a game like this. I still play through that one from time to time (and plus ofc).
I know these winds can be hella fickle of course so hereās to hoping for the both of us haha <3
I do really hope you like it when I finish a version I can release.

Is it a bug or you cant get over 848 pounds witout cheats?
800 is currently the limit, if you can manage getting to 848 with cheats thereās not any content for that yet.
However the weight limit in the full version is going to be a good bit higher.
I still do want a more realistic experience with large weights however, this wonāt really be the sort of game where you can still walk at 2k pounds or anything, but there will be alternate gameplay options once I get to writing and programming them out.

Hey guys!
I just wanna let you know Iām alive, a lot of stuff changed in my life and Iām moving in a couple weeks, but after that I should have more time to work on games and stuff so I plan to get back to finishing Gravity
I made a lot of progress over the last few months though, almost all the features I wanted for an official build have been worked out and implemented, but I want to tweak some things that Iām not fully satisfied with, I still have some writing to do for actual story/dialogue stuff, and I would like to streamline/clean up some code.
Probably after I move when I start working on it again I can figure out when itāll probably ālaunchā. Thank you all for your patience and encouragement <3
