Terraria weight gain mod (in development)

Hi! I’ve been watching this thread for a few days by now (at least, whilst not logged in to my account, because I’m lazy LOL, I don’t remember the last time I’ve logged in to it), and, since you’re open to more people working on the mod, I’d like to help as well!

I haven’t personally worked on a Terraria mod before, but I know C# and programming in general fairly well, and have actually been looking into Terraria modding recently anyway. And I can also do art, so there’s that too.

Sounds good!! We’ll communicate via direct messages :3

Poll is closed! The clear winner is having both damage reduction and max health increase. We’ll be discussing it! If anyone any ideas about how to go about implementing it feel free to share them :3

We decided to decrease the damage reduction to 5% when fully immobile
And added a max health increase that scales with your base health, so it should not fall short at late game or be too overpowered early game.

Right now it adds at max 20% of your base health, and there’s a hard cap of 100 health points
So when you’re at 100 max health it only adds 20 points (early game)
And when you’re at 500 max health it adds 100 (late game)

And everything in between

I’ve been working on various accessories to make each class have reason to get fat!

Right now I have a drop from Queen Slime that benefits melee users for being indulgent…

We have assembled a team and we’re working on many different features!!
Summarized, at least based on what I’ve been seeing:

Mai has been working on many different accessories, armor sets, etc
jumpsu2 has been focused on making lots of fundamental changes and new sprites
Waffle has been working on misc things and on a food digestion and calories system

Everyone has helped each other and have been very cooperative :3

I have been working on a very experimental feature: universal armor support, or how I like to call it UV Armor! With some fancy shader magic it’d be possible to support pretty much all armors and vanities, modded or not with only one set of sprites. How good it looks varies wildly but it’s better than nothing

It is very encouraging to see such rapid progress being made on this, do you all have a Discord server or somesuch for the mod? Most mods of this type that I’ve noticed tend to go that route, so it may not be a bad idea to do so yourself as well.

We have one for devs exclusively right now, if we made one for general discussion we’d have to talk to Folly after she comes back from hiatus

Well, I for one would gladly join such a server. Please keep us updated on that front if it should come to exist.

Created an account just to say this is amazing work. I’m excited to see where this goes and if there’s any public server that comes to life regarding this I’d be more than happy to join.

Also, I wanted to ask if there were any plans to make bigger sizes… There’s a lot of free real estate in screen space and that can definitely be filled up.

Ah okay, well take your time on it. I’ll wait patiently for what you all have to make. :slight_smile:

My interest in this mod has suddenly skyrocketed. No pressure…:wink:

This already looks incredible and I’m excited to see more.

Really been enjoying the mod. I’ve noticed some weird issues with the sprites when using some mounts with the later stages of weight gain, namely the Pirate Ship makes the head and arms weirdly disjoint from the body. Otherwise the mod works pretty great even in this early indev status. I’ll try reporting any other weird bugs I encounter but this mod seems pretty stable.

you can check out the ‘shenanigans’ branch on the github, it might be fixed there if i remember correctly (among some other things)

Unfortunately it seems the same issue occurs with the branch

The new spriting’s very cool though, alongside the change in how the buffs are given out.

ah, ill check it out in a minute

I am watching his mod also for a while and I think that one thing is odd in the new sprites.

When you look at the clip jumpsu posted a few days ago and you jump to about 6 seconds the breasts are visible. When you jump to about 14 seconds which is probably a higher weight stage the breasts are not visible anymore.

Shouldn’t the higher weight stages not have also bigger breasts because of all the fat like in the original sprites?
