It depends on your character’s weight, but generally the default temperature is good. Once you get to the higher weights (like 400-ish, but I think that also depends on your height and your BMR), you’ll want to move the temperature range down a bit.

I’ve found two soft locks; if you party while you’re low on money it can give you an inline error of “While partying You ate ~error not enough money~;” and end up in negative money. From then on it won’t let you proceed to the next day because “You do not have enoguh money for class in None.”

Second one is closer to a hard lock; I got stuck in an infinite loop of the first slot of the day bookended by this error:

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
  File "game/travel.rpy", line 46, in <module>
  File "game/travel.rpy", line 118, in travelcar
KeyError: 1

Windows-8-6.2.9200
Ren'Py 7.3.5.606

I’d get that error, then on ignoring, get some variation of the early morning work events, get “Driving car!”, then get that error again, and be back doing an instance of early morning work, with the day never progressing.

This was after buying a car the day prior. I don’t know if this is important, but I first selected a car I could have bought outright, then after seeing it was only on finance anyway, bought one of the most expensive on there.

I kept saves of both in case they could be useful for diagnosing the issues.

quite liking this so far, but I would love more ways to actively impact others’ weights. thus far I’ve only really found the party and cupcakes there, but it’s too random to get a sustained gain going for most. the only career path I haven’t spent time on really is the gym instructor one.

I wonder why in spite of the codename “Alpha” a version number 1.4.2. I think most people are more accustomed to see the combination of 1.0.0 as it is used for fully finished games. Aristotle’s binary logic. Game ready or not ready.

[zdeerzzz]

The game does not use Aristotle’s binary logic, or follow convention, for version numbering its version is alpha 1.4.2, the alpha part implying that it’s not complete. If your asking about the when the next version is coming out or for a progress updates, I don’t have one.

[Moo_Cow]

Pretty cool game would love to see it fleshed out more if possible. I will hope for more but this a solid piece already.

[zdeerzzz]

This games development is on indefinite hiatus untill I have the time and energy to port the code (all 20,000 lines) to something other than python. Unfortunately my road map and vision for this game requires its engine to use a language that can simultaneously multithreaded instead of corporative multithreading, which is what python does. While I would not hesitate recommending using Ren’py or python to anyone, it no longer fits the needs of my game.

After day 400 my greed tanked in like 3 days from max to zero, didnt change routine, now no actions raise it.

EDIT eating a ton is still on raising it temporarily during the day

[temp1234]

unfortunately doesn’t work at all. My character does whatever it wants, no matter if I press the “use choices tomorrow” button or not, the system just tells me that my character feels like doing something else, even if I have high willpower as trait. Also the weight doesn’t fluctuate whatsoever, no matter if I starve myself or overeat

[zdeerzzz]

I’m afraid you not going to like my answer however, from what you said you appear to have a lot of misconceptions about how my game works. Most anything you need to know I have posted in this thread at some point or another if you willing to go read it. The biggest thing you need to know is the player character has a target ideal weight and is actively trying to reach it. As you might guess at game start it is quite low. By giving your character strong will you have made it more likely to take action to achieve this target weight even though it is there opposite of what you want. You need to work not only fatten your character but make them want to be fatter. To be honest normal willpower is the easiest trait to play with while weak and strong prove a more challenging trait to play with, each for almost opposite reasons.

[zdeerzzz]

Does your pc support opengl and vulkan?

• Yes
• No
• I have no clue what your talking about.
• Cupcakes!

[zdeerzzz]

OpenGL and Vulkan are graphics api’s, like:

• DirectX (Windows only)
• Glide
• Mantle
• Metal (Appple Only)
• QuickDraw 3D
• RenderMan
• LibGCM
• ANGLE

For instance if anyone has one of the new macs with arm the arm chips in them only support Metal. For the most part all pre Maxwell (900 series) Nvidia gpus don’t support Vulkan. Vulkan support is spotty for Intel igpus found specifically in the celeron and pentium, and any pre HD 500 series graphics. Idk about AMD gpus.

[cheddar]

@zdeerzzz

Idk about AMD gpus.

AMD support for Vulkan goes all the way back back to GCN 1.0 GPUs (like my now-replaced 7870
GHz released 10 years ago!), albeit only those from GCN 2 onwards have full, official support.

I’ve noticed that after day 400 my greed will drain to 0 then itll slightly build up before resetting. Does anyone have a work around for this?

@zdeerzzz

Lol, while you have a correlation you missed the causation, and even then it’s more complicated than that. P.S. greed is solely increased by food eaten. Why is it more complicated than than eat food. Because different foods add and remove greed. I also removed player control over what you eat. Also all random events and weather you eat on those is up to the ai and not the player, and the ai decides based on the character stats. Sort making any plans to min max greed dead. While one method will work in certain situations the situation changes too rapidly to really be effective all the time. The point of this is to force players or adapt to the changes in their characters. To interpret what’s given and change tactics as needed to get what they want. There is not one methods fits all.

@zdeerzzz

Your character is as informed about their weight measurements and looks as you are. For example lets say you weigh 150lbs and weigh yourself and see that your 150lbs. Then gain 10lbs, also your target weight is 150lbs. Until you weigh yourself to see that you gained 10lbs to 160lbs your character is also just as ignorant as you thinking they only weigh 150lbs even though they weigh 160lbs. The implication of this is that they don’t know they need to loose weight till they know their over their target weight. Same with the mirror, not knowing you look fatter means your character does not know they need to loose weight.

@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.

i think all of these are relevant to your problem and what’s happening. The problem is greed is merly a vehical for becoming fatter your character must first want to be fatter than they are to allow the greed train to leave the station.

[Schattenjaeger]

I’m not really sure? I’m seeing a lot of very conflicting information online when I try to look it up.

I’ve got a GTX 980 right now and am planning to go up to a GTX 1660 Ti Soon™. And hopefully something in the Radeon 7000 series later this year or early next year.

[AHumanBeing]

I’m having an issue where it feels like at a certain point, it’s impossible to bring your weight goal up in any meaningful way compared to your actual weight gain. Is there anything I can do to keep these two in check? It mainly becomes an issue starting at around 300lbs

[zdeerzzz]

Nvidia Maxwell 900series supports Vulcan and open gl

[WagonMeat94]

You have an nvidia gpu so it does support openGL

[Schattenjaeger]

Yeah that much I knew, I wasn’t sure about Vulcan.
