Just popping back in real quick to let everyone know that all the support on Patreon is incredibly appreciated, and frankly way more than I ever expected in the span of a day! Seeing people excited for the comeback has made my week, seriously. You guys are awesome.

So, in addition to removing some of the bad endings, Iā€™m also going to be removing some of the player choices from chapter 2. Iā€™m not currently sure if that final decision in chapter two is gonna make it out unscathed or not during the re-writing process, but if I have choices in the game going forward, I want them to really matter and have obvious consequences in both the short term and long term.

For an example: Having an option to lie to Kimmy about seeing the monster seemed like a good idea at the time, but itā€™s kinda just having a choice for the sake of having a choice. Originally I was gonna do a whole approval system where certain characters trust you more depending on what you say to them, but thatā€™s a little too complicated and outside the scope of this game I think.

All of that is to say, weā€™ll see!

made an account just to post.
this is the announcement of a lifetime.

i was so bummed that the game was originally cancelled, its one of, if not the best rpgmaker game on here and really changed my view on those games as a whole.

iā€™m pleasently and absolutely gobsmacked to hear were gonna get more chapters, i really hope things go swimmingly this time!

Sorry to say, thatā€™s the main one I was unhappy with :sob:

Not on a conceptual level, mind you. I just wasnā€™t happy with the writing/build-up surrounding it. I might do a similar bad ending in the future, but if itā€™s male stuff that youā€™re clamoring for, donā€™t worry, chapter three has got you covered in spades :smiling_imp:

great to see you have returned hog hill is a game of great potential that i really enjoyed when it was recommended to me

when you say you are removing some bad ends does that mean they will be removed completly, touched up and changed, or replaced with something else

and outside of playing the older versions are you planning to preserve the old bad ends in any way?

whatever the case its great news to see you return and the continuation of your project.

Two of the bad endings are basically being axed, but Iā€™d say thereā€™s an equal amount of new content being added to chapter two to make up for it. (Not necessarily bad endings, mind you, but I think you guys will appreciate why when you play the updated version. No spoilers, my lips are sealed, etc.)

One thing Iā€™ll say, is that from the moment Frankie falls asleep after meeting Charlie, chapter two will be entirely new content.

Appreciate it!


Also, wanted to add something of a little PSA here, just in case: When I made that post right before I went on hiatus, I mentioned that all the game assets available in the original download were free to use for whatever purposes you guys wanted.

I just wanted to assure anyone whoā€™s started some kind of project and borrowed any assets from the first two chapters that youā€™re free to keep using them, and please donā€™t stop making whatever it is you were making before this project came back from the dead. The House on Hog Hill is a game built primarily on the hard work of a lot of other very generous artists before me, and Iā€™d be delighted to see another game using anything Iā€™ve created in that grand tradition, the only thing I ask is that you shoot me a link if you end up releasing it : )

As a Brad, Iā€™m offended by the ā€œbig, dumb and stinkyā€ stereotype.
ā€¦
No, Iā€™m not. Itā€™s usually accurate to some extent. I like to think Iā€™m an exception, but Iā€™m not smart. I also think Iā€™m funny.

Posted this for patrons about a week ago, and figured it was time to show everybody else the Altimit Pixel Movement plugin in action! Goodbye tile-based movement, you will not be missed. (unless this lags peopleā€™s PCs up, in which case I can release an alt download with it switched off lol)

Want to see updates like this way in advance? I have just the link for you: Support my Patreon!

heyo, havenā€™t been following this but iā€™m glad to see more works in this community ā€“ and now that youā€™ve mentioned more male content iā€™m kinda interested lol. at the risk of being presumptuous, would you ever consider making a separate ā€œmodeā€ where the main character is male with mild sprite changes to match? obviously only after the game is mostly finished, since this is truly very low priority.

no pressure, obviously, but iā€™m a gay guy and i wanna see what all the hubbub with this particular project is, but, yā€™know, kind of difficult to judge an erotic project when the main course isnā€™t of a gender youā€™re attracted to. itā€™s perfectly fine if this project isnā€™t meant for that, though.

(sorry if this is annoying and/or entitled, but, yknow, figured it was worth asking. wishing you the best no matter what your response is and thank you in advance)

Hi there, thank you for your interest!

Probably not, unfortunately! Itā€™s just logistically a bit too much to consider this far into development, and would require so much new sprite work and dialogue-tweaking, as well as just kind of fundamentally change some aspects of the story. The people-pleaser in me would love to implement something like this, but I just donā€™t think itā€™d be a good fit for this project in particular.

Totally get it, and being 100% honest with you- This project absolutely skews more towards female weight gain than it does male. BUT!! There are gonna be entire sequences that are male-centric, and plenty of fat guys waddling around Hog Hill, as well as some male TF/TG stuff if thatā€™s of any interest!

Not at all, and thanks again for being interested in the first place!

Some more male TG/TF stuff you say? You have me excited! Loved the one in the last update!

tragic but understandable. iā€™ll probably check out the next release and see if any of the male stuff is up my alley, though i doubt im going to be looking for bad ends, since, yknow, Girl lol

Hello! Do you think there could be an option to skip/disable male fetish content?

2 Likes

Considering the male stuff is intertwined with the female stuff pretty closely, and also plot/character important, probably not! Again, itā€™s the same issue as giving the player the option of changing Frankieā€™s gender, except itā€™d probably end up being even more work lol

Sorry if this is disappointing, but Iā€™ve always been open about the fact that this game includes both men and women getting fat as fuck, and itā€™s gonna stay true to that artistic vision for the foreseeable future :joy:
