The Weighting Game - WIP

ok so I might have an idea on why that bug might occur. Like I said it happened to me both times around the 80 day mark. I think it might get triggered when you have gotten far into the game without making progress to the next WG stage.

The number of days that have passed really doesn’t matter. I deliberately made the game so that people could play at their own pace, whatever that may be. Although it is generally a slow-paced game, of course. Weight gain is a slow business after all, and I wanted to have at least one toe grounded in reality, speedwise.

As I’ve said, It’s a rare bug and I’ve never encountered it, but it does seem to occur round about the first weight stage kicking in. I’m not actively working on this version any more, so haven’t done much in the way of checking, but I suspect there’s an event check that isn’t properly monitored and if that event hasn’t triggered by the time the first weight stage arrives, it’s causing the glitch. Not sure if this is the case with @GingerAle , but it does seem to occur a lot more frequently if you’re trying to run the game on mobile for some reason.

With the recoding of 0.8 onwards, I’m 99.8% certain this will be fixed in future versions.

No I’m on windows, but as soon as I started following all the steps in the guide to progress through the WG stages I haven’t had the problem again so I’m not sure the cause of the bugs I had it it wasn’t a time limit thing.

Nope, as I said before, time has nothing to do with it. It seems to occur round about the first weight gain stage for Alice. The vast majority of people (myself included) have never encountered it.

The bug has happened to me a couple of times, it happens the first time Alice gains weight but you don’t go to your place to activate the scene in which she gains weight

@Jose.numa, @GingerAle and others: The root cause of the bug is already identified: It comes from an overly specified condition, and I’m 100% sure it has been squashed in @tiggertoo’s dev version. It’s exceptionally hard to reproduce, even if you know the exact condition you have to reach to trigger it, but obviously the game is deservedly popular and has had a lot of playthroughs, so it shows up now and again.

Haha, you’re gonna make me blush in a minute! But joking aside, I’m always amazed how many people have downloaded it. Getting on for 65k on this site alone. Given how many people have played the game, I’m equally amazed that a lot more bugs haven’t cropped up, especially as the current version was never properly debugged.

This game is awesome, I am constantly waiting for a new update. Hope you come up with the story as soon as possible, because the I can handle this eagerness of an update.

Glad you like it!

Progress is slower than I’d like thanks to various boring real-world things that are currently taking up a lot of my time, but progress is definitely being made :slight_smile:

I missed the first message before it got taken down so I don’t have the full context. I don’t know if this is the place for the anti AI rant though. For the record I agree that AI use has a lot of issues. But lets be real here this is a fetish site where people post about games that a select few users go to the effort of making.

Were all here for the same reason. I’m pretty sure you can mute the AI tag so you don’t have to see it but the people that want to use it are just going to use it.

@R.B the puns are deliberately bad. I’ve trawled the net looking for the worst jokes money can buy. Not that anyone would pay for any of them. Hmmm, there’s an idea. Perhaps I could introduce a premium game edition with all the awful jokes taken out and charge mega bucks for it. Less is more! :stuck_out_tongue:

As for AI, I don’t think I need worry just yet. The current generation is, IMO, kinda shit. A fun novelty, but nothing more. AI chat is like talking to an eager to please, horny teenager with memory retention problems, and AI images are poor and inconsistent at best.

It’ll improve of course, and a few years from now it’s going to kill original niche games off completely, but until then, I’ll keep plugging away :slight_smile:

100% agree on this. I briefly tried one of the recommended bots/sites/whatever and the complete lack of agency compared to an actual human was completely offputting.
At least in a video game player agency is limited too, which helps create a degree of illusion over sockpuppets as it were.

Yeah, some bots are a lot worse than others (I’m looking at you, Caveduck), but even the best is a very poor substitute for talking to a real human. AI is kinda fun, but has a long LONG way to go.

In an attempt to get the thread back on track, here’s a test render of Hannah with a different hairstyle. One of the things I’ve spent a lot of time on recently is fiddling with her hair as it’s one of the few remaining Genesis 3 elements in the game. Don’t think it’s a success though, so I’m sticking with her current hair, at least until I find anything better!

She looks like she’s not very happy to have been photographed right now.

I like these hairs Linday | Daz 3D although omni hair is the newest daz3d feature and only a few artists are compatible with it out of the box like uh i think outoftouch | Daz 3D

the reflection on her glasses seems to make her face look odd, mainly it makes it nose look bigger and oddly shaped

hopefully that is from bad lighting with it being a test render

She looks so good! Nice to see her again

@Heretoseestuff of course she’s not happy. She hates being fat :stuck_out_tongue:

@namad Yeah, there are a lot of cool new hairstyles coming out, but a lot of them only work with G9, and my attempts to convert my G8 figures to G9 have been spectacularly unsuccessful, so far :stuck_out_tongue:

@GrimRyu one of the things I was messing around with with these images was trying to get her glasses to fit better. They’ve been lowered a little, which makes her forehead look larger and her nose look a little strange! I’m sticking with the regular Hannah look for now!

Such a shame she loves cake so much in that case.
