Dunno if I’ll ever have time to actually do anything with it, but had an idea of a game where you have to help up to 3 clients at a time reach their optimal weight & mobility, while working in eating and exercise routines into their schedule.

I.E. Client 1 wants to be 600 pounds but able to run a marathon assuming the pavement can handle their weight, so you have to work a lot of both eating and exercise in.

Client 2 wants to be 400 pounds and get winded with any exercise, so quite a bit of meals an not much exercise.

Client 3 wants to be 300 pounds and have average mobility, so some meals and some exercise.

Difficulty comes when you get clients with high weight goals and tight schedules, so you have to get clever with what kinds of food they eat.

If you want some more inspiration you should check out Big Gains, it’s a short VN that has you take on a similar role. There’s also Throw Your Weight Around which has you managing a wrestling team.

I’ll definitely take a look! My main inspiration was actually Chubberdy’s entry for the game jam in terms of mechanics.

Instead of filling up a train, you’d be filling up lines of a schedule and picking out what types of food (and maybe supplements) a client should go for. There would be a minimum amount of “sleep” blocks, and some unchangeable blocks (I.E. work hours or free time they don’t want to lose)
