Oh, ROFL, this is shared code with other places that i copy pasted but i didn’t notice that a loop uses the same variable name with a local variable in this label, its probably trying to give you possibly tens of thousands of cupcakes!

Also, it occurred to me that there isn’t a very reliable way to raise target weight, besides getting encouraged and it seems finding the feeder npc’s? i’ve found one thats constantly encouraging me, and feeding me. taking me to an all you can eat buffet, even lol.

So, perhaps in the future there could be some way to raise target weight?

zdeerzzz · August 18, 2020, 10:00pm

zdeerzzz:

archazy:

So how does raising your target weight work exactly? Does this raise passively over time as you get bigger? Or is it only affected by outgrowing clothes, and saying if you like someone’s body,along with others suggestions? Also how much bigger then you do they need to be for saying you like them to raise your target weight?

Ok, so if you haven’t noticed my game tends to with hold a lot of numbers and info in regards to whats worth what, if people know the value of things they get to adsorbed into min maxing to get a result instead of just playing along. That is why your weight and measurements are not real time updated and rather only updated when you actually weigh your self or measure yourself, i’m trying to immerse you into your character, rather than being an omniscient controller of your character. This is why you don’t get a number for greed, fitness, happiness, or fullness. it should not matter the number of happiness points only that your partially happy or fully happy. same with a lot of things. I consider the target weight the same, stop worrying about how to min max the numbers, just play along. All i will say is what i said before which is multiple factors play into it, one of which is the players ideal weight, determined from your choices during some scenes and actions. Whats is also good to remember is there is no way you could easily calculate what it should be or is without spreadsheet software like excel and a lot of data from the game, even if i did tell you what all goes into it. So please try not to worry about it.

The players ideal weight which is not the same as target weight is the only variable thats in your direct control via menu options the rest is math and interactions with npc’s.

archazy · August 18, 2020, 10:04pm

Alright, i see. an another note, NPC’s that want you to lose weight, while simultaneously keeping you stuffed and taking you to buffet’s is very odd.

zdeerzzz · August 18, 2020, 10:07pm

Those are the feeder npc’s, they wild feed you even if your above their weight preference.

archazy · August 18, 2020, 10:08pm

It feels very bad as a player though. i want to keep them around because they’re feeders, but eventually they start discouraging me, while speaking the opposite with their actions.

zdeerzzz · August 19, 2020, 4:29am

Version 1.4.2 is out. 1.4.2 will not have save compatibility with previous saves. I know this contradicts what i said i would do earlier today, however the situation changed.

UI has update to allow seeing black items. The Weight history graph now scales on the y axis. A few bug fixes.

All the links for download have been updated in the first post in the first!

In all reality. This project is really promising keep doing a great work!

I feel like I should say something about this error log and stuff, but my mind’s drawing a blank. I’ll just say “good job” and call it a day.

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

I love when I throw a party and the only person who shows up is someone I’ve never seen in-game before

This happens when yo try to use a car. And, it loops indefinitely.

sadfox09 · August 20, 2020, 1:30pm

can someone give me some beginer tips about this game please

seigneurseiglenoir · August 20, 2020, 2:02pm

A clean home is a happy home. If you can’t afford nice housing, you can at least tidy it up and make it look nice. As long as your house is clean, you can raise your happiness by justifying your modest conditions as a minimalist lifestyle.
If you are doing one block of high-intensity exercise but want to (and cannot) do less exercise, try dedicating an additional block to exercise. While it seems counter-intuitive to dedicate more time to exercise to do less exercise, you are more likely to choose lower-intensity workouts with more time dedicated to exercise, and these two blocks of exercise can be less exercise overall than one block of high-intensity exercise.
Exercise can make you hungrier than normal, so try to schedule your eating blocks after your exercise blocks when available. Using the second tip in connection with this means that you are generally more likely to choose a heartier diet if you believe that you are burning plenty of calories, even if you aren’t necessarily doing that.

TotallyAMetrocop · August 20, 2020, 5:34pm

Hey, question: What will the mirror feature look like?

archazy · August 20, 2020, 5:45pm

Adding onto the mirror feature question: what does it do? i used it at high weight and it seemed to make me want to exercise more

burntmagic · August 20, 2020, 8:10pm

This game is great! i like how difficult it is, it really feels like a puzzle to be solved with what is the best options to do on a given day. Getting to higher weights takes time and feels rewarding because of that.

tacobitetoughguy · August 20, 2020, 10:51pm

I’m still enjoying this with each new update! I had a bug to report though (v1.4.2), when I got my food prep certificate, it still says I don’t have it. For context, I went to school twice in one day and got the certificate on my first session of the day. Maybe has something to do with that?

*edit: I’m dumb and got the office skills when I thought I was getting food prep, don’t mind me

Expeng · August 20, 2020, 11:25pm

I agree completely! Everytime I find out my character has gained 1+ pound in a day I get super happy, since I know that means I found a really good strategy for packing on the pounds.

dingotush · August 21, 2020, 11:39am

Ah, that is a challenge. I had a few goes to get something I was happy with. I started by just editing the weight proportions by hand, then having the code fatten them up to a known weight and comparing the results with proportions measured/known for various real-world people. It was tedious to do.

In the end what has worked reliably is to flip the problem on its head. I give the code measured/known sizes from real bodies (one skinny for each sex, and one bigger for each sex/shape, normalised to a standard height) and have it interpolate/extrapolate other heights/weights/sizes from those. This at least will produce reasonable results for the normal gamut of human sizes. I expect it to get less realistic at unreasonable weights, but by that stage no one can say it’s actually wrong!

I’m glad you enjoyed Yaffaif, I’m certainly enjoying your game!
