Myre’s Massive Mealtime - development (v0.601 - 3/30 Clara mean why she yell)

They praise her for how much she eats, but they never give her credit for how fast she eats it.

She’s a very hungry gal indeed. If you put food in front of her she’ll eat it

Status update!

What’s left for the big demo update?

  • In terms of the biggest structural revisions that I’ve been doing, the only appetizer left to update is the option where you get two appetizers. The part holding that back was me finishing up the sampler platter - both the art and the structure of it. Now that the sampler is out of the way, the last big thing is the double app choice.
  • Smaller than that, i realized last month that I had totally overlooked 2 events. Specifically the options where you skip an appetizer to talk more. I definitely have to revise those. But that is not a big task unless it gets out of hand

Besides that

  • I will want to take another very broad pass at spell/grammar checking - probably recruiting help for that using the reporting system I made last year.
  • I should take another pass at distributing sounds around in places I might have missed.
  • And then there is the tk things. As a writer i will often leave comments to do things for later with the letters tk next to them. there are no words (or almost none) that those letters next to one another. So for the demo update I will want to go through those and handle as many of them that seem reasonable. This is stuff like adding small asides here and there, and also checking for continuity.

So thing are very close to the next demo update. I don’t want to give an ETA because who knows what happens. But SOON.

Also,

Thank you to patrons!

Without your support this wouldn't be possible. If you are willing/able to help financially support the project I'm very appreciative.

Cut off work early because of the USA holiday approaching. Got a good deal of the way into the last content needed for the updated demo update. Halfway through the double order. Handling it required a bit of finesse with my existing systems (that still neeed more work lol! Found a bug today that affects dinner, but not going to dive into that right now). There is also still some logic i need to fix, and investigate if it affects other places.

But anyway! the bulk of the ‘new’ content is adapted from previous work. It’s just the sampler appetizer and the cinnamon buns but you have both of them. For the regular version, the vibe shouldn’t change a ton, and so it reflects that. Still need to go back and change things up a bit, but it’s good where it is. The bigger work will be adapting the intimate variation where Myre is almost feral as she begs you to feed her more and what not.

For the first half though, I worked on a bit of display stuff. Clara pushing a second table over to the first for the second appetizer, and swapping of the empty plates with full ones for the halfway point. I have a few smaller things in mind for that in the near future too. Also need to add a sound for the pushing of the table.

Thanks for support and hope you get to enjoy eating over the next weak regardless of if you are in the usa or not.

Changes for v0.5892:

  • Revised the poses for the 2 short dialog options available if you don’t have an appetizer.

  • Got halfway done with revising the last appetizer, the double order( sampler + cinnamon buns). A lot of the text is re used from both appetizers and made to fit. Need to revise more for tone. The bigger work was making it work with the feeding systems. Also added a fun bit of animations where Clara drags over a second table for the second appetizer and a little movement of food when you switch which food is at the table. Had a bunch of bugs swapping that around lol

MMM v0.5893 released

This month is a small update due to the holidays and it just being a rough time of year for me. Got basically foundational work for the revision of the second half of the intimate double appetizer order. It’s a small update but it is something! the same link is used - i just updated the downloads.

On a related note, Christmas this year had unexpected bills, and since I need money I’ve opened up commissions for Daz images.

Finished revising the last of the appetizer events, phew. there is one place I missed in the ice cream appetizer, actually, that I will handle next month. But next month should be the final polish before the demo update.

This month I also started that polishing by going through and spell checking the sections of the game for the demo. There is still more spell checking to be done, to be thorough. We’re well on the way though!

v0.5894 Changes:

  • Finished revising the last appetizer option

  • Fixed some bugs with sounds when eating, and some bugs related to properly eating all the food displayed. Might still be some other issues there.

  • Did a looong spell check pass one the first three sections of the project. Still needs another closer look.

It’s patron support that lets me keep working on the project. Thank you!

Version 0.6 is here!

https://www.patreon.com/posts/myres-massive-v0-123266786

This is the version the demo update will be using once I clean up the back end and cut out the later still wip parts.

Right now this update goes out to BTS patrons. Next month the demo will go to all patrons! Then a month after that the free demo will be updated for everyone!

But with the demo being update, the next step is turning my attention back to the later half of the project. Next month I will be stubbing out the choices and content for the after dinner but pre-dessert conversation/interaction options. I’ll also be starting to address quality of writing and content in the existing later content as I go, adding the new expressions in, revising, and starting to add new variants of scenes.

v0.6 Changes:

  • Added writing in a scattered few places in the first sections to places that were blank.

  • Fixed more spelling and grammar. I’m sure issues remain but it should be pretty clean.

  • Fixed bugs with the feeding system causing some appetizers to either be visually finished too soon, or have food left (just up to the appetizers section).

  • Fixed the alignment of many image calls. Also fixed the alignment of the player feeding events so you are no longer shoving food into Myre’s Chest

It is only because of patron support that this project exists. Thank you! And consider supporting the project!

i cant get it becaue patreon is blocked where i live and vpns dont work to open it, so could u upload it to itch.io or mega or mediafire?

I distribute the download to itch.io already, but i have it setup to require linking to a patreon account to access the download. This is the most effective way i’ve found to stop scraping piracy.

When the demo is updated, and when the full version comes out it will be available in multiple places including itch, without having that requirement.

Myre's Massive Mealtime v0.601

The Resumption of Eatence

Or something

Anyway

Download here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/myres-massive-v0-125542484

Something old and something new this month!

First:
Started revising the after appetizer conversation options by adding the new existing expressions and poses, while also revising the dialogue. Going to be trying to squeeze that in where i can going forward as a way to procrastinate by working on another part of the project.

Second:
As for something new - a stubbed out some of the choice for the after dinner conversation. This is not very exciting as what I’ve added is far from final. I still have a lot of outlining and revising I want to do. The way things are feeling is that the after dinner conversation option can be an escalation of spicyness. Which in this community means, belly talk, belly touching, and other things lol. Nothing sexual. I want to have an event where you listen to Myre’s belly that will require you to have been flirty, or acting date-like and also have Myre’s belly above a certain size. I also want to have an option to just talk about Myre’s belly. Which like… Talking flirty about bellies is kind of my specialty.

One idea i have is to have an option to suggest Myre pick the topic. Obviously i can’t have her respond in real time, so the way i have that in mind is to have her pick a topic randomly from a set of flags that have been set, and have that choose the scene. It wouldn’t include most of the main big flags. It would be little flags that i have been setting for awhile. The year of revision i did for the first 1/3rd of the game wasn’t just revision. I added stuff in the background to add detail, that I can now draw upon. I really want to use that to make Myre bring up specific things the player has said before to make the game feel more ‘alive’. This event would include maybe bringing up your offer to pay for the meal and joke about how expensive she is, or having her bring up if you mentioned that ‘you both need to eat’ and comment how she’s been doing most of the eating. That kind of stuff.

Belly rub conversation is on the table, but it may be combined with something else? I kind of want to obscure things slightly so the choices aren’t just caveman “TOUCH BELLY? LISTEN BELLY?”

Anyway further outlining of all that fun stuff will continue.

Third:
LASTLY, this month I got a big chunk of the work out of the way for a scene I’ve wanted to add for awhile. Like i said, I’ve done work in the background to make things easier in the future. One of those things is that I’ve specifically tracked all the food you’ve eaten. And that is to create a little event where Clara berates the player/Myre for how much they’ve eaten, and lists out the food. It is like…60% done for the rough content? I want to add variants for the [intimate] tag, because that tag has Myre eat the whole appetizer, instead of half. And that deserves extra commentary, don’t you think? I also need to give Myre actual reactions during the scene. Right now she just stands there stoically while Clara rants. Myre wouldn’t have a lot to say, because she already responds in the context of the ordering scenes. But she should change expressions and offer a few words.

That sub scene is accessed through 4 places currently? I can’t remember which exactly, but it’s like big burger and big steak, I think. Options where Clara already gets angry about how much you’ve eaten, when you order more. Clearly integration will be added as I revise those scenes going forward.

Changes:

  • Stubbed out some of the after dinner conversation events. Their pre-rough menu choices can be viewer, but there is no content besides the menu options. This is prep and outline work.

  • Revised a portion of the first after-appetizer conversation options, implementing existing new expressions, while editing for tone, wording, and flow. Deleted some stuff here and there, and rephrased some things.

  • Wrote a bit under 1000 new words for a new content side event - It’s a scene I laid the groundwork for awhile ago. It’s a scene meant for the some of the dinner ordering scenes where Clara berates you for ordering more food after eating so much already, and in the process lists out and comments on the food you’ve eaten. This is implemented part way in 4 places? It need better integration. I need to add a variant for if Myre ate all the food, and Myre currently has no reaction throughout the beratement, but Clara’s content and writing is done to rough quality.

I’m so glad you’re still determined to finish this project! Also gotta appreciate you didn’t go ‘overboard’ with Myre’s design (I especially mean the chest area, i’m tired of seeing ridiculously busty characters), by the way is there any “bad ending” planned?

1 Like

Thanks!

No, no bad ending planed.

Well, I did consider it very very early on before even the first release, but i decided against it in the outline phase since that adds a level of complexity that would have led to more scope creep. Like if I’d added a ‘date quality’ stat, then i would have felt compelled to have variants for all the lines for overall quality of the date. It would have been a nightmare.

I definitely have let the scope creep, but not nearly as much as I am prone to haha!

The only real ‘bad end’ in store is the ending where you pick the options that has her eat the least amount of food. But that’s still going to be a cute date.

As for the design, I like the contrasts of small boobs with big belly. Not all the time, but enough to feature it. Though most of the specific visual design praise needs to go to @clinko_clinko who has more artistic vision in his pinky than I have in total. I just specify a few features that are important to me and am always blown away with the work they make.

That’s what I actually meant :grin: it would be nice to have a route where Myre doesn’t eat that much if you keep speaking to her more instead of feeding. Like making it more of a deeper conversation route?
Or maybe if you keep restraining yourself from ordering, then she could show that she’s got tired of talking and wants to eat finally, being like: “Hey, I’m having fun and all, but I’m starving over here!” and that could have several responses.
Anyways I can’t wait to check out updated demo soon! Perhaps gonna become a patron soon if I can afford it

Content for Myre not eating a lot then having that lead to eating way more is explicitly something i have planned already
