The Queendom of Corpula: A Weight Gain Visual Novel v0.5.1

Voting no largely just because as impressive as the tech is, it still falls pretty hard into uncanny valley for me. A still image can imply movement, but this kind of thing just makes the characters come off as unsettlingly awkward.

A bit like Homer Simpson’s infamous “you got the dud” smile:

Agreed with the above that a third option along the lines of “I don’t care” would be nice. My personal opinion is that it is a small nice touch, but it doesn’t add a ton for me so I would only want it if it took minimal dev time to add.

I’m glad I asked. After about 24 hours, almost exactly 50% of respondents would welcome the addition of AI animations and 50% either don’t want them or don’t care. That’s not the result I was expecting, but not an unwelcome result. Based on the poll results, I won’t be adding in AI animations to QoC at this time. Down the road, I may resurrect this poll with more options to better determine who doesn’t care if the animations are added vs who actively doesn’t want to see AI used in the VN. Many thanks to those who participated in the poll!

What tool do you even use to make clips like this? There’s a ton of them out there but most of them sort of suck and do bad work in my experience.

Personally I’d recommend fucking around with the technology more to see what results you get. Not even VAM gets great animations, and converting from DAZ to VAM takes time since it’s a new skill set effectively.

DAZ presents an interesting moral question when it comes to AI. Since technically no one who works with DAZ assets actually owns or created the models, those are all done by someone else who gets paid when you purchase the model.

By animating an image you created with assets you paid for, technically no ethic has really been breached, given there was never a residual paid out to asset creators anyways.

Generating images in a DAZ style would be considered some kind of theft though, given that most DAZ artists rendering still images use photoshop to fine tune.

That’s my first VN and i’m really impressed!
Not a fan of WG but stayed for the bloating scenes!
Really hope that there will be some forcefeed or stuck with a mead hose in mouth (or ass) type scenarios :>

Really liked the scene where that sorcerer girl made queen sister eat tons of food! its a shame that it was so short, really hoped that she would go on eat all the castle’s food and end up as a bloated ball

cant wait for another updates!

This game is phenomenal… just phenomenal.
I rarely find games that catch my attention (I usually uninstall them after the first 30 minutes of play, lol), but this game was different. It had a well-written story, the dialogues between the characters sounded very realistic, and the graphics were really high quality. As a fan of WG and bloating, I must also admit that this masterpiece definitely stands out in both of these areas. My favorite scenes in terms of WG were:

*Weighing Annora and Brenna (especially Brenna because of her big ass)
-Annora’s sister’s comments about her weight
-And the crème de la crème scene where Brenna and Annora “race” to see who can eat pizza faster

As for the bloating scenes, my favorites were:

-The first scene where Annora stuffs herself and looks at her bloated belly with fear
-The scene where the princess from another empire has to bloat even more to take off her dress
-The scene where Annora’s sister is extremely bloated by a spell cast on her (although it’s a shame that this scene ended so quickly, I was hoping that the sister would go to some royal pantry to eat everything in sight and end up as a bloated ball, because she definitely wasn’t full enough in the original scene. By the way, it’s a shame that there was no scene in which Aronna, in an act of revenge, feeds her sister almost to the point of bursting)
-AND THE CHERRY ON TOP, the scene where Brenna is force-fed by Aronne, a really well-done feeding scene, probably the best scene in the whole game, Brenna’s belly was UNFORGETTABLE, it’s just a shame that she was fed a few macaroons instead of a few gallons of mead and a dozen turkeys.

To sum up, the game is AWESOME, I can’t wait for the next update (of course, please don’t rush, dear author, if you’re reading this), I hope that the next version will have more feeding scenes, more Brenna, and most importantly, that the next update won’t be the last one.

All the best to the author!

PS: I saw a comment from someone above me, and I also thought that in the scene where we go with Annora or Brenna to the brewery to replenish the mead/beer in the castle, our companion jokingly puts a hose in her mouth (or somewhere else :smirk:), and then gets stuck and turned into a ball full of mead/beer, would really suit this game and would be an AWESOME addition! (considering the author’s talent for writing scenes in which someone is forced to increase their volume :wink:).

Not the author, but this kind of suggestion comes across as a lot more like a demand imho, especially if you keep pushing it like this.
