Weekly Character Art Poll #2

So I hope you enjoyed that last one! I've decided that I won't be including the winner of last week's poll here, so we get some variety. I don't want this to end up being the same character over an over.

For this week, any suggestions are welcome!

Weekly Character Art #1: Beach Bod Emily.

Thought I might kill two birds with one stone here, draw Emily looking cute, and draw a beach background for use in the game!

Event Ideas?

So it may be a little early (and I'll ask periodically as well) but I might as well ask anyway now.

Did you have any specific events or scenes in mind for the game? It doesn't need to feature a current character, just when you hear "weight gain dating sim" what sort of story event would you expect to find?

Currently Working On: #1

So I thought it might be nice to give news about what I'm working on every so often, so there isn't silence broken by occasional bits of art!

-----------------

Right now, I'm working on getting a travel/map system working. There'll be a button in the top right corner that takes the player to a map screen, which allows them to change locations. (You can't travel while at work, or in the middle of a conversation though!)

You'll also have a mini map in the bottom left hand corn...

First Update Mini Comic!

So I drew a quick, silly little comic to announce what the first major update will be! Enjoy!

Cooking Classes!

So Chloe will be teaching the player how to cook. This will include recipes.

 This will pretty much be the only way the player can learn new recipes (apart from practising and experimenting at home)

As a bit of extra info, here's how the cooking skill will work in game (I'll do this in more detail a little later):

When the player is in their kitchen, they can cook food. This will require ingredients (though prior to the money update, most ingredients are gained from att...

Chloe the Chef!

Chloe in her chef outfit. Since the cooking update looks to be the first major update, I'd bet get to drawing more of this!

Event Art!

So my goal was always to have events be a bit more lively than they currently are. It may take a while to get to all of them though, so I'll be focusing on the most important ones first!

Weekly Character Art!

Flipped a coin and it looks like I'm drawing a picture of Emily this week!

Now my plan for this was to usually aim for something cute and fun, but if you guys have other ideas, I'm all ears!

Weekly Character Art Poll #1

Now that I've got enough $9+ patrons, I'll start with these weekly art polls!

Basically, you vote on which character you'd like to see exclusive art of.

In the future, once these characters are a little more established (and actually in the game!), I'll ask for comments on what you'd like the girl to be doing. (and other stuff, like what size you'd like her to be)

For now though, I'll just draw the winner in her element. As there aren't too many people in the top ...

Rough Map concept

So here's a quick view of an idea I had for the town map. It's a little hard to tell here, but the idea is that important locations are extra large (and hopefully clickable!)

Error Reporting!

Hey, so if you're playing the game and something weird happens, or it crashes etc, please let me know!

It's still in very early alpha stages, so it is quite buggy right now, so please let me know so I can fix it!

Meeting Locations and Info

So here's some quick info on the girls that'll be introduced in the next couple of updates. It looks like the cooking update will be the first one (though it could really be any of them at this early stage)

So my plan for most of the girls is simple: You can first meet them in different places, and first impressions count! Feel free to add any comments or discussion below (or message me directly if you're shy!)

Cooking update girls:

The first major update choice!

Poll is here:  https://www.patreon.com/posts/40223245 

These are all key features necessary for the game, but you get to decide the order they are introduced!

Let me know if you have any questions about what they'll include!

More detailed info can be found here:  https://www.patreon.com/posts/39443...

The first major update poll!

Voting ends on the 14/8 for this one. Don't worry, all 3 of these updates will make it into the game, so even if your preferred choice doesn't arrive right away, it will get there eventually!

The Cover!

First cover image for the game. I'll probably update it as it goes along.

How are the tier prices?

So I've set up the prices for each tier based on my personal needs.

But I want to hear about yours! I know you can't support every creator, so let me know if my monthly amounts are a bit pricey.

Shoot me a message with the info!

Concept art: Emily

The easygoing girl next door! She's up for almost anything...even weight gain?

Friendly and outgoing! She loves to chat, and to help out her friends!

She loves a nice, honest guy! Especially if he loves animals!

----------------------

Already in the game! She's the only girl to talk to in the 0.1 alpha.

Not a whole lot to do there yet, and she's very repetitive, but that'll go away once more dialogue is added to the game!

Concept art: Chloe

She's got style! A chef who teaches a course on cooking, she loves 70s chic!

Does her bright exterior hide a bitter centre? Or is she sweet all the way through?

Just wants to have fun! She loves a guy who can keep up with her!

----------------------

Introduced in the cooking update, funnily enough. She can teach the player how to cook! If you like the look of her, vote for the cooking update first!

(Like a lot of these concept design, her face is a bit...

Concept art: Patty

The player's cute, fun cubicle neighbour! Just about the only girl around who'd love to meet a guy that just wants to stuff her face full of food!

She sits right next to the player while he's at work. Sick of the pointless of your job? She'll be someone for you to talk to! (Whether you like it or not!)  

Positive and talkative, though a bit of a gossip, She loves a man who can cook, especially sweets!

-----------------

Introduced in the cooking update! So if you w...

Concept art: Grace

A snide, sarcastic goth girl! Will she become your big tiddy goth gf? (She'll need a lot of food!)

She seems nice enough when you meet her while she's at work, but maybe she's only nice so she doesn't get fired? Or maybe her rudeness is just a wall she puts up to keep people away?

She loves the peace and quiet. She enjoys long walks far away from the city. She's not much of a people person though!

------------------------------

Introduced in the money update! Someone h...

Concept art: Diana

Certainly someone a lot of people form some very strong opinions on! She competes regularly in beauty contests, how could she possibly ever want to gain weight?

She's a girl with a taste for the luxurious!  She'd happily go on a date with almost anyone, as long as he's paying!

She works somewhere in the same office as the player, but no one seems quite clear on what that job actually is...

Is there more to her than meets the eye? Or is her beauty only skin deep...

Concept art: Flora

A quiet, shy, nerd girl studying at the local university! She already leads a pretty sedentary lifestyle, maybe a bit of weight gain is inevitable?

She spends most of her free time gaming and watching anime, she doesn't open up to people easily, but once she's close to someone, she can be very passionate!

Could she go out with a guy who doesn't share her interests? Or will she only like a guy if he makes obscure pop-culture references?

----------------

Introduced in th...

Concept art: Roxanne

This is Roxanne: fitness expert and personal trainer! Gaining weight is pretty much the last thing on her mind!

She loves physical activity of any kind! Working out, Bike riding, Mountain climbing, you name it!

She'd never fall for a guy who doesn't like to stay active, but she's always a fan of self-improvement!

----------------------

She'll be showing up with the skills update, so if you like her, vote for that one!

(As an aside, that weird serene ex...

ALPHA 0.1!

Finally! The first version of the game is now out!

Download it here (Password is WGDS): 

 https://easyupload.io/t003bh 

(Mac Download):  https://easyupload.io/kmsqu6 

Now, there isn't really much to do here yet, but the next couple of updates will bring heaps of content! New places to go, new girls...

The first choice.

So here is some info on the first development choice.

If you've played the alpha, it's apparent that the game still has a long way to go!

So in the next round of updates, I'll be shaping a lot of the foundation of the game.

However, I will be working on things based on what you guys think is a priority!

The next three major updates (which will occur in order of popularity):

The Money Update:

Adds a money system and some actual meaning to wo...

Alpha 0.1: What to expect

So there isn't much in the earliest alpha of WGDS. It involves the player "working" (though there is no interactivity there yet) most of the day, before going home. Emily is the player's next door neighbour, and is always happy to chat! Alternatively, you could just go inside and do nothing all day.

As you talk to Emily, she might grow to like you over time, depending on if you're the kind of guy she likes or not! Occasional events might occur as the two of you grow closer. 2020-07-18 05:01:13 +0000 UTC View Post

Finally back!

Finally redoing my patreon for my new project: The Weight Gain Dating Sim!

If things go well, the earliest alpha version should be ready by Thursday the 23rd!

That version will contain:

The ability to talk to Emily.

Occasional events.

Emily changing sizes as her habits change. (though not her outfit yet)
