The Big Fat Vore RPG

…I just showed up to say that this is pretty good.

And that I appreciate Kass’s full name, and its potential inspirations.

my only complaint so far is the “immobile” status, it wears off after like 5 turns. I feel like it would be more interesting and fun to fight against with a few changes:
1: make debuff removal skills or inflation removers also remove the condition
2: don’t let the skill wear off so the player actively has to worry about it instead of just heal the immobile character
3: allow it to persist through a battle, but not effect overworld skills or movement
4: have more enemies use it, and bosses use it more frequently. I only ever saw it twice and only once per fight. And I was sitting on a boss that could do it for plenty of time to trigger it again.
5: add a rule where if everyone is immobile either the party is forced to swap to the characters in reserve, or it triggers a game over. Potentially add game over scenes on bosses where it could happen

Sorry if it’s a bit longwinded, just a really interesting mechanic that is severely underused and easily ignored right now

You might be on to something there. I’d argue that since it pretty much takes a character out of the battle it shouldn’t really be permanent like that, but then again, getting eaten does more or less the same thing. So maybe immobilize requiring the player be more proactive might be a worthwhile idea.

@KaptainKQ

I mean, I figured as much. It’s just that it must be kind of difficult to squeeze variety out of a setting like this.

Hey, if Dracula can have a big-ass castle with a ton of crap in it, I don’t see why Leanne can’t. :V

@KaptainKQ

Out of curiosity, is the building in the courtyard going to be a greenhouse or a tool shed? The courtyard’s already a pretty nice idea, and it’s ripe for expansion. I could see a garden/farm subsection.

It’s a secret! I’ve got a hanging garden area planned for one of the later floors.

@KaptainKQ

Another area I could see being added would be a sort of cold-storage/giant walk-in freezer. In fact, I can already think of a meta-puzzle/gimmick for it: A thermostat that, when interacted with, either increases or decreases the temperature. Certain areas melt when the temperatures lower, removing walls and making certain treasures accessible, but also melting bits of floor into deep puddles and making other rooms inaccessible. Should only need to toggle one switch for a mechanic like this, but I’m not sure how simple it is for RPGMVX to continually swap out/alternate room layouts. I wonder if it couldn’t be cheated by having two different rooms, one version frozen and one melted, for a heavily affected room, and simply have the entrances to the rooms choose which one the player goes to based on a conditional page.

That’s an interesting idea, but I can see it becoming pretty tedious pretty quickly. Watery dungeons with water-level changing gimmicks kind of fell out of vogue with Ocarina of Time. V:

At any rate, I really appreciate the input.

@gamingcat02261991

Ever plan on adding humans as a playable race, or is it strictly furries-only?

While furries are preferred, humans are fine and dandy.
Also, most of the characters aren’t mine. They belong to other folks who volunteered them for the game.

Oh, I just realized: Whenever I try to download it via Google Chrome, it stops and says “Forbidden”.

Melted ice puddles was simply an illustration of why/how a tile might become unwalkable when a switch is flipped rather than a call for a convoluted water level mechanic.

But I understand it might be more trouble than it’s worth, regardless.

[DarkShadowWulf]

is there a wiki or something for us to look at and find all the available characters?

[Retconned]

Okay, I have to ask, because it’s driving me crazy: I took a little peek into the graphics folder to see what all new enemies got added, and I’ve seen every new one EXCEPT for the Marzipan Maid. Is this an unused enemy, or am I missing something?

[darkchaser]

you can find them in the dungeon where you fight volcano bakemeat usually they are grouped with two gumdrop gremlins use Wendy’s skill cowbell to get automatic encounters and you will hopefully encounter one after a few tries.

[Fervus]

I went back to check because it’s been a while and I couldn’t be sure if I was just imagining it. The combat ui was changed and fighting has been sped up. I appreciate that battles are faster, but I wish it wouldn’t skip through the text so quickly when the animations are short/nonexistant. I missed most of the dialogue in the Ivory fight because of this, and sometimes found it difficult to tell which enemy was doing what. Really like the inclusion of the changing character portraits and new enemy healthbars though.

[Retconned]

Ah, that’s where I figured they might be, but I never encountered one. Thanks much! (Also you may wanna spoiler that)

[Mr.Spiffy]

I had a lot of fun playing your game! I noticed you put in a lot of Golden Sun music, and that’s rad! I happen to have some of the soundtrack at very high quality! Like non-GBA compressed levels! Feel free to use it!

oh wow! thank you!

@DarkShadowWulf

nope. you’re welcome to make one if you’d like :V

[gamingcat02261991]

As long as it’s a separate wiki and not on Wikia/Fandom.

[DarkShadowWulf]

the reason I asked is because I want to be able to find all the characters

[DarkShadowWulf]

what’s wrong with Wikia? I’ve seen other stuff like this having a wiki on there

[gamingcat02261991]

Because they won’t allow fetish content anymore.

[DarkShadowWulf]

well that was a stupid change for them to make, we should petition them to undo that error

[BlakLite]

I’m enjoying the game quite a lot, but I’m having a bit of trouble finding a couple of things.

1. Where is the third Beetle Jelly? I already got the one in the restaurant wing and the one in the dump.

2. Where is the red demon who stole the immobile bunny boy’s chocolate? Is she supposed to be Ivory? If so, when I went to talk to her again, she just repeated, “My tummy hurts.”

One last thing, I found a bug involving Tanuka and the Warp mechanic. When I warped back to her room, every attempt to talk to her initiated the conversation from first meeting her.

Yeah, a couple other folks have pointed that out to me before. Should be easy to fix, though.
As for your missing stuff:

Your missing beetle jelly is probably in the observatory.

Also the person that Skips (the immobile bunny) was talking talking about was indeed Ivory. It’s really nothing more than a throwaway line referencing her antics. I’m planning on doing more with her in future updates.

[BlakLite]

I just found the observatory moments ago. As for the throwaway line in question, you may want to rewrite it for the time being so that it doesn’t sound like a request the player can complete. Otherwise, players like me might end up going on wild goose chases.

Oh, I forgot to ask about the Gastronomicon. Its description says that it inflicts Fat on basic attacks, but I’ve yet to see it successfully do so. I’ve tried it with Caer, Kass, Wendy, and Ash, but no results. Is this a bug, or is the functionality not fully implemented yet?

@BlakLite

Oh, I forgot to ask about the (spoiler)

Might just be an oversight or simply shoddy event writing on my part. I’ll look into it.
