The Weighting Game - WIP

The game will massively be updated anyway compared to how it currently is and you’d have paid the extra anyway if the Patreon was still going.

Sorry for being a bit slow replying - August is always a very busy month for me!

@Idkwhattocallmyself I’ve never heard of that before. Not sure if it’s a bug or not. Were you playing with hints on or off? It’s not always apparent what to do to progress in the current version without the hints turned on and you may well have not triggered something you needed to do to progress further.

Glad you got it working eventually though!

@Hoixi02 one of the many, many planned additions to the finished game will be a gallery of all the images which will be viewable once you’ve completed a playthrough. Very unlikely there will be another public version before the game is finished though, I’m afraid.

@CrazyActor I really would like to do this, but I can’t see a viable way of doing so. I contacted Patreon when I restarted work on the game to ask if my old data was available and they said it had been deleted. I’d take this with a huge pinch of bullshit as they’re obliged to keep records, but that’s their official line. So I have no way of telling who was a patreon and who wasn’t.

@moon_shaped_pool That’s one way of looking at it! :stuck_out_tongue:

@Krodmandoon as ever, thanks for the helpful answers! :slight_smile:

Does anyone have a save just before the breakup? Or otherwise, know a way to edit Alice’s happiness/rejection chance through a save editor?

I wanted to see what would happen if you made a playthrough keeping Alice unhappy, didn’t expect there would be a hard game over screen, I may or may not have soft-locked myself with the only options to either return to a month old save or start a new game.

That’s karma I guess :smiling_face_with_tear:

I can give you a save for the breakup or non-breakup “routes” (without the game over screen). I think they are both around/on the three choices of the event.

Breakup save file.zip (245.2 KB)

Non-breakup save file.zip (238.6 KB)

Hope that is what you are looking for. Also welcome to the site @Garf1938.

Unless you have a very good idea of what you’re doing, I’d strongly advise against using any sort of editor.

A lot of the occurences in the game are triggered by a variable (sometimes a combination of more than one) being at a certain level, and if you edit something, you may well push it past the level needed to trigger something, meaning that the event will never trigger and you’ll get softlocked.

Welcome @Ente_Duck_2, unfortunately it’s against the site rules to ask for an update from a developer. You can check out more info under the improve the discussion section of the FAQ.

There will be a new version of the game. However, the next version released to the public will be when the game is completed. It will be a paid version that is likely going to be year(s) from now. As @tiggertoo is working with no set deadline and not spending all free time outside of work on the game like they were before. You will just have to wait and see when it comes out.

As usual, @Krodmandoon is correct. There will be further test versions (hoping to have the first one ready at the end of september, but we’ll see…), but they will be closed tests.

who would be selected to play test in September? are they only members you personally like or those who are subscribed to your ko-fi?

I guess my question was inappropriate then

That’s for sure a tiggertoo question but I think there has been an answer in this thread to some degree. I would assume mainly comes down to a few trustworthy individuals regardless of current financial support. That tiggertoo will hand pick. Forgive my memeing :smirk:.

Hi, I just saw nice Hannah night out story on the Kofi, but this is not most probably the game spoiler? In reality I’m Hannah fan, so I have to ask…

@GrimRyu once the next version is more or less ready, I’ll be asking for volunteers to test it. Probably in a separate thread to avoid this one getting even longer :stuck_out_tongue:

As for who gets picked, ideally, around half a dozen testers. Assuming I get that many volunteers, I’ll probably prioritse those who have been around a long time and have a good idea how the thing works. Reason for that being that I’ve recoded/reorganised a hell of a lot of stuff and these people are more likely to spot if something is missing or out of place or just looks… odd.

These people won’t have to be Ko-fi subscribers or ex-members of the patreon. And, of course, I won’t charge them to play the test version, as long as they agree not to leak it anywhere.

I’ll also probably have to set up a private testing discord (and I have no bloody idea at all how discord works!) which’ll mean all the testers have access to any comments from the other testers.

@Krodmandoon you’re evil :stuck_out_tongue:

@vrehert Just to be clear, there will be a number of test versions before the final version is ready. The first version won’t cover anything like the length of the current game. It really is a test, just to see how things work and the new content meshes in.

@mdy73 No, that isn’t taken from the game. It was just a sequence that I knocked up :slight_smile: Any spoilers will be very clearly labelled.

Thank you very much. I hope, that there will be at least similar size of Hannah in the game. I look forward to it…

Wohee well i would volunteer if needed but im no expert like @Krodmandoon he can spot bugs just from breathing (while still playing the game):joy:

Oh man I would love to get in as a test volunteer for the next version. I’ve only been a lurker on the weight gaming forums until just recently, but I used to post bugs in the bug threads you had on the old patreon. :slight_smile:
