💜 Insatiable Hearts [v0.1.3B] - A monsterfucker+Weight gain Twine Game

[Owlkaline]

yee! I love that. I defs want to have more cross mutation combinations because there’s a lot of fun to be had in just mixing and matching parts one likes ~

more transformations in general of course. But alas, eventually ~

[Ares42]

Aye I’m loving the blends too. Mostly. Think my last run I ended up a really bizarre mix of blob, jelly, cow pig girl. Not too sure about the oojin transforms - not my bag - but I wanted to try it anyway just to experience it. Not really tried the melopoids yet - waiting for their area to get fleshed out. Surprised I’ve not tried pig more. Think I was just enjoying cow girl too much haha. Though not even managed to find anything to do neph transforms to check them out.

[Owlkaline]

Hey folks! I’m not dead! lol. Been a busy time after the new year. The long short is family, job searching, working on sfw stuff, getting sick, recovering, blah blah blah. The typical messes of life.

Anyways, I’m crawling back with a bit of an update, nothing too crazy, but a nice pin to mark the new year. Admittedly I got torn between too many ideas and had to really cut down in order to not just have a bunch of half backed threads. So, part of my thinking going into 2024 is I’ll focus on smaller but more concise and more frequent updates. We’ll see of course. I’ll have to get a feel for it all anyways as my pace is, as always, my pace.

So, whats the highlights here?

This update brings a couple new systems.

The first is an introduction to the planned magic system. Dream-weaving.

If the player talks to Lexi the alp about it they can be taught how to use magic, a few basic interaction spells. A couple Flesh bending spells can additionally be learned from Baronet Laurent. These don’t have a whole lot of applications just yet, but the magic system will come more into play over time, opening new options and interactions throughout the game.

Additionally I’ve added the “thoughts” system, which allows the player to customize how their character feels. Right now its just whether they find weight gain shameful or not, which affects some flavor text.

Both of these things can be accessed through the “consult self” menu

Additionally I sunk some time into something silly, even more flavor over substance, but I’ve integrated an image pack for the game. Right now it includes 11 regional backgrounds I made and a handful of character profile icons taken from previous sketches and art work I’ve done for them. They’ll have a more unified quality eventually, this was, more or less, a test. But seems to work good so far.

You can continue to play the game without images of course, but if you’d like the new backgrounds and character profiles, simple download the image pack version of the game and launch it from the same folder. It should load in the images as expected.

Eventually this will be utilized more for specific scenes and dynamic changes for character weight gain etc. They’re just sketches for now, but an example can be seen with Kip, her icon has three stages right now that change as she gets bigger. So, a little treat and a tease for later improvements

Anyways. Thank you all, so so much for your support through my job hunting period despite the lack of communication on my part. Hoping to be more on top of things soon, but I hope you all enjoy the bits of content I cooked up in the mean time ~

For supporters, you can find this version of the game up on patreon now. Everyone else, you can enjoy the last supporter version as it’s now public ~

Change log: Insatiable Hearts V0.1.3A

Summary

Additions:

• Added a debug feature the appends the last time a passage was edited to the bottom of the page. Just to help indicate if something is outdated
• Maeve can now be examined
• Added a few more random sights to the harbor
• Added a new menu to the game’s main areas, “Consult Self” which allows the player to change aspects of their mind, sins and corruption. (work in progress)
• Added the ability to change pronouns through the “Consult Self” action.
• Added the thoughts system. Specific thoughts can be added or removed from the players mind in the “Consult Self” menu. This alters status flavor text among other small things. The currently avaiable thoughts includes “gluttonous thoughts”, “thoughts about weight gain” and “feelings of shame about weight gain”. Gluttonous thoughts have a chance to raise the gluttony stat
• Added a new status bar and variable, Astral Resonance, a “magic resource” bar for the upcoming magic system, dreamweaving
• Talking to lexi about dreaming-weaving and asking them to training you will open the option to unlock dreamweaving through them after
• A new system has been added, Dream weaving, it draws upon a new resource, resonance, which can be gathered from spall or other sources
• Basic spells will be available in the new “consult self” Dreamweaving menu. These are basic and include absorbing power from spall, creating spall and releasing excess energy.
• Three additional spells, fat absorption, fat gain and fat loss can be learned from Baronet Laurent after unlocking dreamweaving
• Maeve can now be asked about “Dreamweaving” and “alps” provided the player knows the subjects
• Players that have dreamweaving unlocked can now use their powers to examine amelie’s curse, attempt to break it or fatten her. This won’t quite work, but adds details to her future quest stages
• Amelie can now be asked about “dreamweaving”
• A test image pack has been created for the game and has be integrated in a few ways and includes 10 backgrounds and 13 character profiles icons. Most regions in the game now have a background image. Some characters now how profile images that show in the relationship index. The art used is largely taken from my previous drawn material, so some characters only have simple sketch work at this time. This will be improved over time.
• As a test, Kip’s profile image has 3 stages that depict her according to her weight gain. Similarly 3 full body sketchs will display her weight when using the “look at her” option

Changes:
~ Started a fresh changelog for 2024. The previous set of logs is now tucked away and can be displayed below with the “Display Old Changelog” button
~ Scenes that mention “little lizard folk” are now replaced with the word geckling once the player learns the term
~ Adjusted how corruption is calculated to include gluttony, lust, greed and sloth attributes in part of the overall percentage of corruption
~ The tether bar only displays when less than full but not empty
~ Maeve no longer refers to the player as a “mankin” the first time they meet if the player isn’t human at the time
~ All “relationship unlocked” blurbs now use the new character profile cards

Bug Fixes:
x Various small typos and corrections
x Fixed a small issue with mystery potions
x Fixed Delphi’s relationship info not appearing in the relationship panel due to a malformed flag
x Fixed Maeve’s relationship marker not appearing in the relationship tab

For those that may prefer not downloading anything. I’ve uploaded the latest public build to Itch.io

Hello, I’ve been lurking around the forum for a while, and found this game some time ago (very good game by the way).
I was messing with the Itch release, and it seems to not let you save, but only if you download and run it through the Itch app itself (it works perfectly fine if I play it on my browser, whether through the Itch website or by running the html file).
Here’s an image of the error that happens whenever I try to save:

I did a bit of digging, and it seems like this is some sort of issue with electron, but it doesn’t seem to affect other games, such as The Curse of Something. I don’t think this is game-breaking or anything, since you can just download it separately, but it’s weird that it doesn’t happen in other games.

[ThreeBeersDown]

I’ve enjoyed what I’ve seen so far, definitely strikes the good balance between surreal horror that gives it a tense feel, but erotic and beckoning the player to press on! Definitely seeing the influence of Corruption of Champions and the Boundless games, fills the same space for me that they left behind.

[R.B]

I’m feeling the stretchmark mechanic needs a bit of work because gaining 300 of fat lbs in six days should result in more than “Your belly has a few tiny faint stretchmarks, little faded whispers of of your over-indulgence.”

I think this is the culprit:

<<if _difference >= RNG(0.5,3)>>/If weight has changed/

So small changes might not change it 1 lb per hour don’t trigger it, and then you also do this weird thing. Maybe the threshold should be based on rate of change instead.

	<<set _stretchchange to (($player.fat.current - $player.fat.previous)/_difference)>>

I’m not 100% sure on what the fat variable tracks, but doesn’t this just cap the stretchchangeat at 1 ?

[R.B]

Oops.

[mrcat]

pfffffffffffff WTF XD did you find a way to eat laurent or something!? hahahah

[R.B]

Pc got infected by glutwyrm, and then fed on the roots in the dark mire a few times, in between snacking on the barrels there. I think the glutwyrm really supercharges it.

All the brakes are off the gain train then, the roots can fill up any stomach, no matter how large, and also increase it by a proportional amount.

[Solar-G]

First time trying this game and it’s some of the best work I’ve seen on this site. Particularly, I love the writing, with thorough descriptions and solid atmosphere. It has the expansive world of Corruption of Champions with the wild imagination of Tainted Elysium. I don’t think I’ve played a twine game with this much imagination in a long time. All the mechanics work very well together making for a much more engrossing experience than your standard CYOA. I really can’t wait to see what you have in store for later updates!

[Owlkaline]

@hailbreaker this seems a little beyond me, but sorry about that bug! It might have to do with how my game allows for custom save naming, which wasn’t an innate twine feature? I am unsure, but I’ll see if I can find something out

@ThreeBeersDown I’m so glad you’re enjoying what I have so far. Horror and erotic is kind of my favorite flavor pallet, so you use it in broad strokes, but I am glad that it works. Hehe ~

@R.B Yeah, I was never quite satisfied with the stretchmark system and there was a number of things I wanted to add like skin elasticity related to TFs and other things. It really got neutered as an after thought in one of the updates, so I full intend to redo that system for sure ~

also, lmao, wow, that screenshot, really taking things to the limits ahha!

@Solar-G That really means a lot to hear. This is a hobby of mine, but its something I’m very passionate about and I’m glad that seems to be coming through in my writing. Corruption of Champions is certainly a foundational work for us all I’m sure. CoC and Boundless were big influences on my work, and Elysium, Elysium will always be a part of me I feel. I’m glad that this game can carry that torch some and scratch that itch so to speak ~

[mrcat]

Idea: when vore options get added for the player when exploring any or the biomes if the prey was bovien in nature then you would end up geting some of its DNA for transformations.

[MothLock]

Is the sheewog tf in the next update?

[UwU]

Probably a dumb question, but will (non-fatal) popping or bursting be added at any point?

[eugenioramirez764]

this game is top notch, some real good shit. it will be even better when art and MC being able to vore other characters gets added 10/10

Hey yall, happy spring! I’ve just updated the public version of the game to the last supporter version. It boasts a collection of new images for the backgrounds and characters as well as a new magic system, a thoughts system and a few other tidbits

As for the supporter version

Got a decent update, focusing on several new TFs, egg laying, some new items and some improved mechanics. Still having struggles at home, some tech issues and still on the dang job hunt, but got some wind in my sails this time around to get some fun stuff added. Not a whole lot in the character driven content unfortunately, but for those who’ve been waiting on more TFs and other tid bits, this one’s for you.

The next update I’m going to be a little more focused on character quests and dates, provided I get all my ducks in a row. Which brings me to another matter. There’s been some back and forth about what Patreon’s changes to their terms of service means for NSFW creators like myself. Seems we’re in the clear for now, but just in case that’s to change in the future I’ve setup a subscribestar here

It’s quite similar to patreon and I was able to set up the same kind of discord benefits among other things. So if you prefer to use that platform over patreon feel free, otherwise maybe bookmark it for later should Patreon ever start nuking NSFW creator pages haha.

anyways ~

Here’s the supporter update’s changelog ~

Version 0.1.3B changelog

• Added A new location to the harbor pier, Renard Swain’s gunshop. The skeevy hunter can be interacted with to learn about a sheewog he is hunting. There are a few things he can be asked, but this is mostly a tie-in for future Fyrfli quest content
• Added “pregnancy” to the thoughts system including a variety of pregnancy related messages
• Added an oviparity system, oviparous characters will lay eggs after a given period and cycle into diapause. The egg laying scene will vary slightly based on egg size and clutch size. The player does not need a uterus to lay eggs.

• Added a new item, “recalled laboratory cheese”, it causes the new rodent transformation set
