Recently, I’ve been chipping away at a concept that’s been in my brain for a while (also using it to learn RenPy). The general idea is that you play as a girlfriend who is Not in Employment Education or Training, and she finds out about her boyfriend’s fetish. To please him, she decides to get fat yadda yadda yadda. We know why we’re here. I’ve hit a snag while coming up with different stats and I wanted to know what you all think. So far I’ve got: weight(duh), energy(HEAVILY inspired by Big Aspirations), and I’ve been toying around with the idea of a “lust” stat.
Make it a stat?
Make lust a stat!
It’s a bad idea…

My problem is what to use “lust” for? I want the game to be very focused on sex, (not just the standard stuffing, gaining, “Oh wow I’m fat now and that’s it” kinda thing). Would it just be fine to use “lust” as a skill check thing? Would players want to “use” it like a “resource” and “spend” it on doing certain actions? What would those actions that players want to spend it on look like? Should it be given out pretty frequently or sparingly? (sorry if I’m getting rambly)
Resource or Skill check?
Make it a resource!
Skill check is good!

Rarity?
Be generous!
Give it out sparingly!

I also have a weird kind of issue with the narration style. You play as the girlfriend, but for sex scenes you have pov as the boyfriend. This is so that the gameplay is you fattening the gf while the bf is away at work, and then during the sex scenes you get the fantasy of having this character do all these things for you. Another thing I have been considering is having a separate “narrator” to describe certain scenes and make them more verbose? Would that make things too confusing?
Narrator?
Add a narrator, make it spicy!
No, a narrator would make scenes too messy

Currently I only have 2 characters that I plan on having gain weight:
GF (you have the option to name her)
I am mostly using stuffer.ai for the image generation and I highly recommend it. It’s really good for keeping characters consistent looking. But the question at hand is if I should add MORE characters that gain alongside the GF or should I keep it small scope? If I keep it small I’ll probably do more weight stages for these two and if more characters get added then it’ll cut down on the amount of weight stages.
Number of characters?
Keep the cast small
MOAR GURLZ!

FINALLY I wanna ask if you all have any themes or scenarios you’d specifically like to see? I currently have stuff like supernatural things (the item shop with the red haired character sells you magic/cursed items), cum inflation, rapid weight gain?(still kinda on the fence with how I want to pace it), different forms of expansion (breast expansion, ass expansion, hyper wg, that kind of thing). If there are any that you’d like to see, I’d like to hear suggestions in the comments! Sorry for the long post but I’ve been thinking about this project for a while and wanted some feedback now that I’m finally actually working on this thing. I should have a demo ready soon(ish) with the beginning of the game and probably the first few weight stages while I get the kinks ironed out and learn more about RenPy and how to do the things I want it to with it. Thanks in advance for your input!
First off, if my NEET GF doesn’t stan at least one conspiracy theory we’re breaking up. If her room isn’t messy I will personally mock you on this very thread. And if there isn’t some sort of increasingly depraved sexy cosplay arc I will smh my damn head!
I would rather have more cool stuff with the one character than Yet Another Shallow Harem Game. Throw in whatever niche fetishes you love and let the player opt out is the winning strat I think. Personally everything you listed floats my boat except the rapid WG. I also like stuff like hypnosis or extreme & one-sided contracts, stuff that gives away power and makes the relationship unequal but NOT with goofy leather and metal stuff. Ideally this plus sweet lovey-doveyness, but lovey-dovey and egalitarian is great too, just less rare.
Spending relationship stats feels weird and bad, would not recommend coding it that way.
BTW if you haven’t watched Ongezellig yet, it is necessary research. Two of the three main characters are NEETS! (edit: no, they’re not, they’re literally in school, but they’re still 100% the type)
Oh and NEETs can often get sad, clinically depressed, or even suicidal. How much you want to tackle that is up to you, but… don’t be afraid to.
I like ironic twists scenarios. Where at first the MC got into the boyfriend because he was a little plump and she at first was fattening him, but it turns out all along the boyfriend wanted to turn it around on your MC and even got others involved as a conspiracy to make the MC fatter.
Lol thank you for holding me accountable on my character’s NEET status. I wanted to add some conspiracy theory stuff in there but wasn’t sure if that would put some people off. Now that I have one person saying I should now I definitely will! I wanted to do a thing where GF puts on something sexy for BF and keeps the same outfit throughout the game so as she gets fatter, it progressively gets tighter on her until it bursts off her.
I like the Harem games but I agree that they can get really shallow, and they’re kinda oversaturated imo. The rapid wg was more on my mind as I wasn’t sure how long I wanted to make the game and how fast it should progress. And I feel like there’s kinda not a lot of agreement on what “rapid wg” really means. Like obviously if she eats one pancake and then turns into a blob then yeah but I feel like some people would be like “It should take weeks for her to get this fat and it took like 3 in game days so that’s rapid”. Their relationship is more lovey with a lot of teasing back and forth. I also want the BF to have a timid pushover personality at first and then have a more dominant streak and more confidence as the game goes on.
I’ll check the series out! Thanks for the recommend! Don’t think I’ll touch the depression thing btw. I’m pretty new to writing and I don’t want to touch that subject in a fetish game lol
Thanks for the suggestion! tbh I don’t have any art for BF because the art generator I’ve been using is not very good at making dudes…lol so I’m not sure I’ll go that route. I like the idea that they met up in college and hit it off. They stuck together and BF graduates and gets a pretty good job, meanwhile GF dropped out and has just been being a leech. She decides to gain as a “thank you” for BF letting her stay home more or less.
