The Weighting Game - WIP

I think the longer you work on it, the more ideas you come up with that you couldn’t’ve forseen. Pretty much every game project ends up having that happen I think. That’s why like major companies are so afraid to give out teaser dates because they know they’ll be wrong.

And why it’s taking me longer and longer between updates :stuck_out_tongue:

That’s partly down to Christmas though, and that this version is adding all the stuff I wanted to add earlier, so it’s going to be a biggie! Hopefully I’ll get back to updating every two months-ish after this one.

not to mention the time it takes to render all those images

Yeah, they take a lot of time, and there are a lot of them in the forthcoming version. How does several thousand lines of new code/text and 500 images sound?

Collective voice of W/G You said it was going to be huge!

Wow, tough audience! Okay, 600 images?

Collective voice of W/G AND it’s taken you ages!

Okay, okay! Almost 700??

Collective voice of W/G Hmmm, okay. If you throw in a new title screen too.

I’ll see what I can do…

Things I was not expecting to wake up and see today. I guess it is going to be one of those days…

The game is shaping up insanely well. Can’t wait for the new update.

It’s my thread, so I’ll blame anyone I like!

And if you don’t like it, I’m taking my ball home so you can’t play any more.

Okay reading that I think you should use that as a part of Alice’s playful banter for a future update, clearly change ball to something related to more related to the context of a scene

With the new characters in the next update in addition to Hannah and Becca, is it possible that Alice realizes that we are flirting with them?
I admit that I felt a little guilty talking to the other girls at first but in the end Alice doesn’t seem to pay attention to it.
Can she be kind of jealous for that ?

I have also questioned my own morality because of this game. That’s not a criticism in the least, it speaks to how much I connect to the characters. I find the “other women” more intriguing than Alice, they’re OVERTLY into the main character, and obviously as a player I want to see them continue to gain weight and express their attraction. I feel a bit guilty for encouraging them, and seeing no consequences for it thus far augments that feeling, but it’s also exciting. I’m super curious to see how more women get worked into the story and where it’s all headed. If there are consequences for stringing multiple women along or cheating on Alice I guess I’ll face them eventually.

I’m not sure there will ever be consequences? But there are like certain chapter finale scenes that are mutually exclusive, like 0.5 has two ending scenes not one…

I doubt it’s the kind of game for serious consequences, at least ones that don’t quickly turn into more fun. I guess I’m applying real-world logic to the main character’s decisions because I know how this would likely all go IRL and I have a strong self-preservation instinct lol.

I mean he might throw in another game over, but in a game meant to be savescummed to see all the content I don’t really see that as a consequence, by consequence I meant something like removal of the main character that doesn’t end the game :slight_smile:

edit: I think something like this would never happen because it would mean tons of writing that most players won’t ever see, and as such won’t be a great use of dev-time. That said if he gets inspired to do so, who knows! I do feel like whatever you’re inspired to write about is much less work, which is why I don’t myself ask for specific content/results/plotpoints.
