Tramp 0.15.5 2023-06-15

Reg content is what allows you to go past the current games limits. I reached around 1300 or so when i was playing

No. There is barely functioning content beyond that, but it can only be accessed through debug commands, and discussion here will be removed.

Do not post how to do this.

Oh sorry didn’t realize its not something you wanted seen. Was why wrote multiple times it wasn’t complete to stop people getting ideas. Will avoid going forward.

hence why i say “yet”, there’s a whole bunch of numeric iterations between ver 0.15.5 and ver 1.00, no?, plenty of time between now and then, however long that’ll be. in the meantime there’s no shortage of options simmering away.

I haven’t played it for a while, but so glad to have the 2023-06-15 version! I can enjoy it all over again Thank you most sincerely!

Went and replayed this since it had been a while since my last run through. I have a few additional thoughts on some of the mechanics/systems based a bit on what was talked about in the thread.

I absolutely love that this is a day to day simulator where you get to see highly gradual changes over a longer period of time. At the same time going through the same menus repeatedly and playing through the game on ‘skip’ can become boring after you’ve seen the overwhelming majority of the events (there are consistently some new ones each playthrough but you’ll still get through most of the common variations with some speed) This is particularly relevant for meals - its fun to have new hidden options open up at lunch and new ones unlock at dinner but you’re still clicking through the same menu repeatedly, particularly on weekends. It could be handy to have a ‘speed’ option where before the meal you either select ordering ‘a la carte’ which would be the same menu as it is now, or from a few options selecting how much you want to eat e.g. ‘light meal’ ‘heavy meal’ ‘fill yourself up’ ‘gorge yourself’ which would then autoselect randomly from the menu’s array to roughly fill up your capacity according to the level you selected. This would allow for routine dinners to be optionally streamlined at the cost of some amount of player control for the meal.

On more or less the opposite side of that, I think it could be engaging to have meal ‘events’ which act more as a game where the player is allowed greater control over Erin’s actions to glut herself - give the player various ways to expand Erin’s room during the meal so she can eat more (unbutton pants, rub belly, belch etc.) with the options being limited based on Erin’s greed while also acting as another way for the player to add to her greed. Basically, put the player more directly in Erin’s shoes as she binges and have them balance keeping her eating with giving her more room to eat while listening to her internal monologue as she judges herself (absolutely love it every time that shows up btw)

I agree with you, and I fully intend to do at least one “quality of life” pass in the future to improve/shortcut/expand on the various activities and events. I say “in the future” as the focus right now is more on coarser changes to the game and mechanics and prep work for future plans. All the meal menu changes in particular are now pending on the re-work of the menu system.

Since a tease is probably due, the dev branch is now at over 300k words (which would be roughly a 700 page book if it weren’t a VN with many variations of the same coarse event).

Was replaying this game this week and gotta say I’m really excited for the update.

I finally discovered the warehouse job you get through Steve for the first time, which made me excited by the idea that this game may eventually receive even more content.

This is (imo) the best game on the forum!

Couldn’t agree more. I always keep checking back for the next update. The hype is real.

However, this also means developers are not very motivated to continue working on this masterpiece, which is very unfortunate.

everything in due time

In the most recent update, you start to majorly lose your mobility around 800 pounds and are forced into dieting. You can’t gain any more weight unless you cheat, which helps that end-stage content feel a bit more realistic. I think there are plans for post-immobility content to be added eventually, as well.

I don’t even mind the lack of images. The descriptions are vivid, and the complex relationships you can have with NPCs (along with their varied reactions to your weight gain) elevates Tramp to the peak of weight gain games for me. Plus I imagine that adding images would have stalled development and that we wouldn’t have anywhere near as much content as we do now.

I beg to differ. Unless you’re using AI garbage, it’s both difficult and hugely time consuming to create images, unless you’re a talented artist or have access to one.

The charm is that this is a written story in first person, and you are free to use your own imagination to vision the scenes. It’s more fun this way in my opinion, and much different from what many try to do.

even with 3D models, rendering the images is also time consuming, depending on the amount of noise you’re willing to tolerate or the resolution.

And even then, Having an artist do a thing takes time and effort too… and money if you’re paying one.

If i remember right he does intend to add some images eventually. If that changed or not i don’t know. But i will agree with everyone else this one really has it all for me. Love those character reactions to your weight gain.
