The Weighting Game - WIP

Tigger have you ever thought about adding Easter Eggs into your game? (Assuming there aren’t any in the publicly available version already.) Maybe you could include one or more somewhat-hard-to-find triggers that would lead to one of these What-If scenarios (not necessarily this one). If it’s a sci-fi or magic fattening scenario then it might skip one or more of Alice’s stages.

reminds me of my suggestion :wink:
looks great, thank you very much

Sorry for the slow reply. Loads of horrendous real-life shit going on at the moment and I’ve barely had a minute to myself.

@Mob_Master Yep, as @Heretoseestuff and @Krodmandoon rightly say, one of the outcomes from that scene is a permanent game over. It’s not well telegraphed enough though so I’ve already added a ‘how are we doing’ option which will give more detailed info on how things are going with Alice, and on the to-do list is an option at the start of the game to avoid the game over entirely.

@darthvoodoo1 There will be a couple of easter eggs for sure, which I already have planned and only users of this forum will likely understand :wink: Might be more. I haven’t decided yet. There’ll also be at least one hidden scene which most people ‘should’ never see…

@LuMasoni Glad you like it. That set of images seemed to go down pretty well. I may do a similar sort of thing again soon if I ever get enough time to work on it.

Oh Tigger, how you taunt my inner completionist. Don’t do this to me, I (kinda) have a life!

Completionist? Haha, good luck with that. I have no idea how many playthroughs you’d have to do to see every single different bit.

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen everything in the current build at least once. Although it took like 5 runs for the coffee shop girl scene were she moves in with alice I hadn’t seen before to pop up so could be a few missing still. Glad to hear more obscure events to search for are coming.

I’ve played through the game many times across many versions over the course of development, like I’m sure quite a few have. I can’t say how many times overall especially for 0.7 but it’s something I go back to every once in a while and playthrough. Even then when I was making the walkthrough for 0.7 and doing multiple playthroughs as I was finalizing the guide. I was still getting some dialogue popping up that I’ve not yet seen before. There’s actually a good amount of randomness to the repeatable events and dialogue throughout the game. Probably more than some would think. Like the permanent game over screen, I’m quite familiar with how it works but I have never actually gone through to see it myself :laughing:. There was a time back in what, 0.3 maybe, where I didn’t even know that game over existed as I had never tried to pick all the very negative options to be an ass to Alice.

I was pretty sure I got everything after many many many playthroughs when 0.7 first released. Even used Krod’s save where Alice doesn’t break up with the MC because no matter what I do, they always break up for a bit. always, I’ve been reading so much lore on how to prevent that on here but it just keeps happening, but then when my girlfriend tries a playthrough she doesn’t have the break up happen its just not fair. Anyway point is, I’ve been missing these characters for so long and I didn’t realize its been that long since my last playthrough so I decided to do another one, and again try things a little different and what do you know? there’s STILL dialogue that I haven’t seen and there was even a scene I never saw! Full of surprises

My personal method for getting the no breakup version is a little slow but works.

Slow weight gain avoid it as much as you can.

Compliments Compliments Compliments Call everyday to complement her and any time a postive compliment option comes up pick that one. (no idea if this helps but none food related events like just walking or running in the park as well)

Take her to the movies let her pick, then go to the gym so you can hopefully get her to agree to do something after her workout. If your lucky it will be the movies again and you get past the cool down on going go to them. fancy restaurant every time.

Share your cake at the mall, this by itself wont make her gain much. Learning to cook and giving equally sized portions when you invite her over.

Work a ton too because your avoiding weight gain for as long as possible you can go to work and save up about 2k for once your past the event.

This works pretty consistently for getting past the breakup without actually breaking up though sometimes it misses by a little, In that case i just reload a save and try for a few more movie dates and thats enough to tick it over.

Yep, it really will take quite a few playthroughs to see absolutely everything. Almost every scene has varying responses depending on how Alice is feeling at that point, and there are different responses for every weight stage.

I’d be willing to bet a large amount of money that I’ve played through the game more than anyone else, and I know for a fact that I’ve not seen everything yet.

Thats what I tried in this new playthrough! I avoided every feedism option and called her for a compliment everyday, her mood was happy and yet she still broke up with me. Maybe one day I’ll manage to avoid it myself, I do think the break up route makes the most sense story wise tho

Mood has nothing to do with not breaking up. It’s based on romance score same as the other aspects of the breakup event. Maximizing the time spent doing things that raise romance score while not making Alice gain too fast (to give you time to raise the score higher) will be how you accomplish it. The difference is majorly a few lines of dialogue and speaking the week apart. It’s also non canon for the MC and Alice to not break up but was just a nice acknowledgement that can happen if you go out of your way to accomplish it.

Yeah like Krodmandoon says being happy isn’t enough I dont have exact numbers and I can’t check at the moment but day 70 - 80 ish is around where I switch to feeding her. Might be helpful next time you go for the no break up.
honestly I prefer the temp breakup for the extra scenes and the Alice wears glasses reveal which is a personal favorite look for her

Hi,
Will the next Update change the old chapters? I’d like to try this game in 0.7 but I don’t want to have to go looking for the new renderings that, for example, “0.8” will have replaced.

2 Likes

@tiggertoo has indicated that the next public release will be when the game is done. 0.7 has been out for along time and the game won’t be finished anytime soon.

The game was/is being reworked in code and structure for 0.8+. So, that means a few things. For one you won’t be able to use saves from 0.7, any new versions won’t be compatible as it is because the game was redesigned code wise. Which means you will have to replay through the game anyway, but also the finished game version will have new renders and content not available in 0.7 throughout the earlier stages.

There might be an updated demo at some time in the future before the final release, though nothing concrete on that front yet.

I think they’re asking if any of the images that are in 0.7 will be changed for 0.8

2 Likes

By and large, nothing will be changed, image-wise. I have re-rendered quite a few images, but these are for consistency, lighting improvements, fixing clipping and the like.

If you’ve not played 0.7, you might as well. It’s going to be a while before I finish the game. Old saves definitely won’t be compatible. As @Krodmandoon says, I’ve restrucured the code and there is a lot of new stuff that old saves won’t pick up. If you try and use an old save with the finished version, the best you’ll get is glitches. It’s most likely to simply crash. Plus you’ll miss out on the new content that’s been/is being added.

The breakup scene in the game is one of the many many things on my massive to-do list. I’m planning on restructuring this to take into account both happiness and romance, which should make it more balanced. There’ll also be an option at the start of the game to turn off the game over ending at this point.

So @JustChris made me curious and I decided to see how quickly you can get the no break up option if you min max the shit out of it. The answer 51 days with room for improvment

Summary

My method was invite alice for dinner immediately. Cook something adventurous everytime and get your cooking good asap well always giving her a larger portion. Then start taking her to the mall eveyday for the chance to give her your cake, twice if you don’t get it the first time. Call to take her to the movies and then go to the gym to get the option to take her somewhere.

I got lucky and she almost always picked movies. I tired to keep a balance with taking her for food and making sure I was raising affection as much as I could. I never pushed her to eat when she was full. after events like bowling she would pick the cake herself.

Funnily enough like was said not long ago there is still stuff to find because alice has unique dialogue for if she’s already accepted getting fat and is happy when janet calls to meet. Not earth shatteringly different but still cool.

I got slightly unlucky with the home movies as I only got the option to call alice prettier then the actress once. If you get those and take her for food more often then I did I could see 45 days being possible

Big thanks to Krodmandoon for posting all the explenations of how the systems work made routing this a breeze

TL:DR
If you min max all the stuff to raise affection and feed her a lot you can get alice to gain like 70 pounds and be cool with that in a little under 2 months in game

I know what the difference is as you sent me your save file many years ago haha. I just wanted to try my hand at it myself and like I said. I decided that this new run my first one in 2 years I decided to avoid ANY feeding option and focused on romance, but alas, It just didn’t work and I still never got the “no break up” route on my own, ah well maybe one day

An idea I just thought of; what if Alice throws Janet a baby shower. Maybe Janet doesn’t have many friends so Alice invites some of her own friends to fill the party. It would be a way to have all of the ladies in the same scene for the first and probably only time, while also avoiding doing a harem, which you have previous mentioned being against.
