The Weighting Game - WIP

I was browsing for weight gain games to play and I came across a website that looks like its trying to make profit off of other people’s games.

I saw your game there.

Not sure if I should link that website since my browser was telling me its not secure but damn.

lmao, thats like seeing those 3D porn ads using notable animators like PixelPerry, Rigid3D or Nyl2. While I’m sure it’s annoying at least take it as a compliment that they consider you successful… Tho prolly gonna be a hassle to take it down

def can agree on yah, for the amount of months or years. I’d pay for a bundle or a bunch of em for 30-80$ depending on content. But I’m sure that depends on persons preference

Thanks for flagging that!

Sadly, there are quite a few sites like this. They pirate other peoples work (naughty) and then sell it as their own (despicable), usually at vastly inflated prices such as shown here.

Back when paying for my game was a thing, I managed to get a few of them to remove the game from their inventories, but ever since I gave the current version away for free, I’ve stopped checking places like this.

Silly thing is, the amount they’re charging (even though they claim there’s a massive discount) actually works against them. If they were selling the games for $5 each, they’d probably get a lot of impulse buys. But $25? That sort of money makes people google around to find more info. Especially as the reviews are so obviously fake :stuck_out_tongue: There aren’t many people out there daft enough to drop $25 on a game they know next to nothing about. And if they google ‘the weighting game’, pretty much the first hit is the page on here, which gives the game away for free :stuck_out_tongue:

Long story short; I very much doubt anyone has bought my game from them. I may take a look at their site at the weekend though, and see if I can get them to take the game down.

Okay, had a look at the site and it doesn’t appear that there’s any way of contacting them. The ‘contact us’ page has no contact information whatsoever.

In all honesty, the site is such an utter shitpool of poorly written drivel that I’d be amazed if anyone is daft enough to give them any money. They even have the cheek to charge a huge shipping fee for a digital product… :face_with_spiral_eyes: :upside_down_face: :dizzy_face: :face_with_spiral_eyes: All the shipping info seems to refer to furniture…

TBH, I really can’t see how anyone would be stupid enough to buy from them, but once again, I appreciate being made aware of this :slight_smile:

Haven’t decided how much I’ll sell the finished game for, but it’ll be a hell of a lot less than $77! :stuck_out_tongue:

Honestly, it might just be me, but the thought of someone being stupid enough to spend $25 on that is hilarious.

Been working away on 0.8.1 over the weekend. Another 300 or so lines of text written over the past day and a bit, and my render queue has been BUSY :slight_smile:

Seeing as people keep asking me how things are going, I thought it’d be fun to add a very brief summary (hidden for those who don’t like such things) to the first post of the thread as to the game status. Nothing detailed, just the number of images that are currently coded in. I’ll update this every so often…

Such a teaser- never have I have been that excited for at game just seeing a number go up :smiley: Out of curiosity, can you tell what the amount of images in the 0.7 version is?

2 Likes

Good question!

0.7 had 2,635 images. I’ll add this to the summary, along with a brief explanation of why 0.8 currently has fewer images :stuck_out_tongue:
