Princess Stuffer, A Renpy Adventure (Update 1 Out Now!)

Okay, now that I’ve played the demo I’m happy to offer some feedback.

Tramp is my favourite game on this forum, and I’m going to enjoy any game inspired by it. This game does succeed in creating a similar kind of feel, and I enjoyed it quite a bit.

Obviously, this is a new project and is going to be a little barebones as a result. But there is a decent amount of content here, and you should be happy with the work you’ve done.

Instead of adding new content (more characters, new jobs, etc.), I’d expand on what you have. I’d love to see additional descriptions at each weight stage, and more scenes / reactions from the characters that exist right now. I admit that I am heavily biased because outgrowing clothes is my favourite trope, but I would love to see additional sizes and consequences for outgrowing clothes.

Once you’ve expanded on what you have, I would slow the pace of weight gain down a lot because you gain way too fast. It works for now as there isn’t too much else going on in the game, but as development progresses I’d love to see a slower pace of weight gain. In Tramp, you have to compulsively make your character happy with her weight to not end up dieting, resetting your greed. It’d be nice to have similar greed resets in this game to slow down the pace of weight gain. Like Tramp, I think it would be cool to see more meal options and a more gradual progression to your greed increasing.

I’d also like to see more of Helen outside of being greedy and eating, like what might her other hobbies be? I think this will help with characterization and immersion.

Does intellect do anything right now?

This goes without saying, but there are a lot of typos. I know editing is really boring. Because I like this game, I’d be happy to take a look over your work to fix spelling errors and to add periods and commas on a random evening. Feel free to send me a message.

Great game and great work though, you have a solid start and I think that with work and time this game can become an all-time classic of the forum.

I know the Kristen storyline may not be everybodies favorite and also introduces magic and magical elements which I know some people don’t like, full disclousure I’m not a very talented writer but I hope you all enjoy the new content I added throughout the game and in the Kristen storyline. I hope to keep fleshing out the core parts of the game but I also wanted to add Kristen and loop her into the game more so first. So please enjoy as I do this purely for you all to enjoy and the joy that brings me.

Also please let me know about any major bugs and issues, and I will get them fixed as soon as I can, hopefully there arent any game breaking ones.

I saw on Itch.io someone brought this up but just in case you hadn’t seen, when I try to go to the cafeteria I get an exception where it says kristenCafePresenceText is not defined, though when I look in pCafeteria.rpy, it does appear to be defined, so I’m not sure what’s going on there. Doesn’t look like a typo.

Just saw that seems to be a quick fix, update will be out soon, sorry about that trying to make sure that same issue isn’t else where also.

48

Update with Version 0.011 that fixes the cafe issues and I took care of another flag triggering issue so you should start a new save. Sorry about that.

Thanks for the update, I played it and found some more issues. On line 517 in the cafeteria code there appears to be an extra if statement inside a parentheses that was causing issues. I was able to fix that myself but then was getting exceptions when I went up a size, not sure what was causing those though.

I also noticed that every time I ate in the cafeteria, Helen offered to split a pizza with me, not sure if that is a bug or not.

50

Both seems like bugs, will check those and release a hotfix under the 0.011 patch title soon.

51

Had to post it as 0.012 because itch really hates when you try to replace a file with the same name. Thanks for helping work through these bugs, I really appreciate the help

I encountered an issue, when trying to get Helen to work out more the conversation keeps looping back on itself.

and yeah… the same issue happens further, i can’t see the 115 pounds image too

55

Sorry about that I was asleep, fixes for that and the helen looping conversation are uploaded now.

Because I think it may be difficult to figure out as it currently is setup, in order to trigger Kristen’s story line you need to raise your intellect until the Professor talks to you. For chronic skippers you read the tome you receive as a result in your dorm room.

57

I saw on the itch page you mentioned not having bandwidth to continue working on it, and open to anyone taking the mantle.

Would you be able to change the uploaded version to the source code, instead of the executable? That would make it possible for others to help with debugging or taking further development forwards.

58

I believe the default is for RenPy projects to include the source code, since most projects on itch have the files. It must be a configuration setting you changed at some point to obfuscate the code

59

Hmm I thought it was the default as well and I don’t easily see how to change it so I uploaded a zip of my development folder to itch as its own file (if I have to release any more hotfixes I will update that dev zip as well).

To clarify I may come back to this project soon and continue working on it, I’m actually expecting a baby soon and I feel like creators have a habit of saying that and then never coming back. So I thought it would be a way to return the favor to the community to welcome anybody to use the source code and content to make something of their own, or meaningfully expand on this project.

Cheers!

Playing 0.013 (Mac version). Just after the first mirror look at 103 lbs, I got this error:

Hey, listen i really want to help You, i think this has so much future, but i don’t know anything about programming, so i was think it if You would like if i work with You, to do a translate to spanish of your Game, i don’t want money in return or anything i just help You officially, would You like that?

hasta podríamos unirnos para la causa, yo soy traductor activo de cómics de feederism, cuento con algo de experiencia y creo que para traducir juegos con renpy podemos apoyarnos de translator++, creo que ese programa se adapta a renpy y así seria mas sencillo hacerlo y si es así, entre 2 seria mas rápido, no se si quieres hacerlo
