Hey there. While I’m a new member (officially joined today), I have lurked around the forums for a few years now, always enjoying the games in silence.
Well, recently I started learning C# and Unity, and decided to hone my skills further by using them to make my own visual novel! And at the same time, thought I might be able to give back to the community by making it a stuffing/inflation/WG VN!
So let me get to the fat of the topic: Live n Eat.
The visual novel, as it stands, will be coded in Unity, and the graphics made in one of the modded Koikatsu games!
I only recently learned about the modding side of those games, and the wonder that is the chara studio. Truly a gift for everyone.
(However, while the Koikatsu games are known for their more sexual tones, I won’t be going past partial nudity in my game. I never really enjoyed sex in games, and since I don’t enjoy it, I don’t really wish to make it.)
What am I planning for the visual novel to have, aside from the three characters presented, and obviously, stuffing, WG and inflation options?
~ Cast of purely female characters. Sorry for anyone enjoying male on female action, but it ain’t here.
~ The Playable character, named Mel (The Ginger in the middle in the above picture), can also participate in any of the above activities!
~ Weight, Stomach capacity and Trust systems. Each should be pretty straight forward.
~ Stories that include cutscenes for each character! As you build your trust with each, you’ll get to unlock new cutscenes, and witness as they expand in special moments (and sometimes, you’ll expand too!)
~ A job you can attend whenever you want, as a certified counseling psychologist! Talk to the characters, and try helping them out in different ways. You can give advices, prescribe medicine, and as the trust grows, more options become available! (Beware, not every option is good for every character, and can decrease trust!)
~ At a start, 5 characters (including Mel) having 4 stuffing stages, and 2 weight stages (Default and +1). While my final plan is for every character to have 4, I need to ensure I do it right, and still working out how to perma fatten each character in Koikatsu.
And that about sums up my plan. If you are all curious, I have a couple of cutscenes already in the process of being made (All screenshots ready, and dialogue is written, just need to continue studying how to make the VN itself), along with base models for 3 characters (for stuffing, Default weight. Inflation will be different).
Oh, and aside from cutscenes, models won’t be static. I intend on making them appear more living (blinking, slight movements). Which will inflate the game size somewhat. Already got a tested model which seems decent. Might be added in the future, as a base this seems to just cause me an increased headache x.X
As for my progress in Unity, I have a system for reading text files and arranging things in the set up, and currently working on a dialogue and commands system.
If anyone has any ideas, suggestions, etc, feel free to let me know! And any thoughts or ideas are also welcome!
