(WIP) Get Set Boom! - An Open World Racing / Weight Gain / Dating-Sim Game

I’m excited to present my latest project, an open-world racing and dating sim.
A unique blend of speed and romance.

About the Game
This is a 2D/3D hybrid, featuring a top-down perspective as you cruise through the city streets. Much like the classic GTA games. Explore freely, take on challenges, meet characters and discover hidden secrets.

PLOT
You’re the new racer in town, determined to make a name for yourself. You want to climb the boards and dominate the streets. However, you also have another thing, you’ve got a soft spot for girls… BIG girls. Prove yourself, so you can have it all. Speed. Fame. And Big Full-Bodied Beauties.

GAMEPLAY
Take full control as you navigate the city in your vehicle. Drive freely through an, open-world map. Key locations are marked across the streets. Pull up to them to:

  • Enter races
  • Join special events
  • Visit shops, garages, and hangouts
  • Trigger side missions and story moments

Every corner of the city offers something new. Whether it’s a challenge, a secret, or a potential romance.

DATING SIMULATOR
Throughout the game, you’ll meet a variety of women, each with unique personalities, interests, and stories. As you build relationships, you’ll unlock romantic interactions and new moments.

Conversations are just the start. Deepen your connection by:

  • Going on joyrides together
  • Taking them out to restaurants, malls, scenic spots, etc.
  • Completing special events or challenges tied to their stories

Your choices and actions influence how each relationship unfolds.

Romance Has Consequences
Dating isn’t just for show. It has real effects on your journey. As you spend time with your romantic partners by taking them out for joyrides, restaurant dates, and indulgent getaways, they may start to gain weight over time, reflecting the cozy, over-the-top lifestyle you share.

But you’re not invulnerable. If you join in on all the feasting and downtime, you can bulk up too, and that has consequences on the track. Added weight can impact:

  • Vehicle handling
  • Acceleration and top speed

Balance your lifestyle carefully. Stay lean and mean for your racing performance.

CAR COLLECTION & CUSTOMIZATION
Throughout the game, you’ll grow your collection of unique vehicles in multiple ways:

  • Win Races: Beat rivals to claim rare cars and exclusive models.
  • Buy from Dealers: Spend your hard-earned cash at city dealerships for new and exotic rides.
  • Partner Privileges: As your relationships grow, some partners may let you drive their personal vehicles, each with its own custom look and handling.
  • Hidden Finds: Explore the city to uncover secret barn finds and off-the-books vehicles, rare rides that aren’t listed at any dealership, waiting to be discovered by those who know where to look.

City Overview: San Mango
San Mango, located in the Pacific. Is a mid-sized, city inspired by the aesthetics of Miami and Honolulu, designed to support both high-speed racing and immersive social exploration. The map is divided into distinct zones, each offering unique driving conditions, visual themes, and gameplay opportunities.

FAQ

  • No images?
    “An error occurred: Sorry, new users can only put one embedded media item in a post.” ~Weight Gaming

  • When will you release it.?
    I don’t know yet, I still have lot’s of things to make. Ai Nodes for traffic, Background Interiors for shops and story events, more vehicles, hud, soundtrack and sfx, and much more.

  • Where the girls at?
    I’m still trying to come up with new characters. I already wrote some, but I don’t know how to draw, so I’m gonna practice or hire an artist in the future.

  • Free or Paid?
    Depends, if I’m gonna hire artists and programmers for this project, so far I’m the only one.

  • Furry or Humanoid-Fantasy creatures?
    Sorry no. All human beings.

Feel free to ask some questions. Thank You!

First off, Welcome!, good to have you here

Will definitely look forward to this one, sounds like an amazing way to make weight an actual mechanic.
Best of luck with development!

I like where this is going! I have high hopes for the story of this one. I also have a piece of unsolicited advice, if you’re interested:

Make a vertical slice build, a release with one of everything: one map zone, one kind of building, one free-roam event, one car, one race, one date. This lets a lot problems surface early when they’re easier to fix, and puts you in a great spot to add more of what’s most compelling or necessary.

Since you currently don’t have an artist on the team, what’s your plan for placeholder images?

GTA2 / BBWification Dating Sim hybrid?!? This is a killer idea, I hope you keep traction on it.

What OS(es?) are you looking at delivering for? Windows, Linux, Android, Mac, etc?

Thank You so Much! I really need the energy to keep this project alive. It’s been in development since Summer of 2024.

that’s quite a while already o.o
really though, love the idea, and from the screenshots it looks great so far
it needs to live!

Thank you, I appreciate the advice. I’ve been trying to do that, right now I’m stuck in creating placeholders to change scene and making Ai nodes for the other racers and traffic.

I’m trying to search an artstyle that fits to the aesthetic of the game. I already asked some artists to do some sketches of the girls, they made these incredible sketches, but their style doesn’t quite fit. I’ve been experimenting with AI-generated versions of the characters to help explore and define the look I’m aiming for.

Thanks!
Windows so far. I’ll polish it over time and maybe I’ll release it to other platforms.

I’m grateful for your support! Since most of you are interested in this game, let me indulge you some fun ideas I’m planning to add in this game.

  • You can buy different pieces of clothing for your partners. tshirts, crop tops, jeans, you name it! 'They live near the beach you know?’

  • There will be secret romantic partners that you’ll have to find or they will reach you if you complete a series of secret tasks. ‘Maybe that saleswoman is into you.’

  • You’ll have a photo album filled with pictures of your partners to see their ‘Before & After’ ‘Whew-Wow! She definitely blew up!’

  • There will be special events where you have to do stunts with your partner sitting besides you. The main goal is to scare them, for Fun! by drifting, going fast, or doing other stunts, and maybe you’ll get a secret bonus!

This sounds really promising - I really like driving games but it’s naturally not a genre you really see around here so I’m really excited to see where it goes. Take your time as it sounds pretty ambitious, but I’m looking forward to seeing how this one comes together

This has got to he one of the most unique premises I’ve seen on this site. Really looking forward to seeing how this turns out! And for the art, do you have any examples of what kind of style you’re looking for?

Something between Patrick Nagel’s and Jason Brook’s style. You know those mid-2000s vectorized illustrations?

First character concepts!

Looks quite accurate to the style you gave before!

Could use some shadows in my opinion, but your examples don’t really have those either, so take that as a personal preference
THAT ASIDE

Awesome that you got a concept going \o/
Looking forward to more updates

edit:
Now looking at it from an actual proper screen, instead of from my phone
which already helps a lot, much better
I won’t delete what I said, but feel free to dismiss it somewhat haha

Very cool style, glad you found an artist!
