Plans for 2025
Hello everyone! Sorry for the lack of news lately, as some of you may know I spent a lot of time working with ExtraBaggageClaim on their (currently ongoing) wg drive! You can check it out here: https://phatelot.github.io/fehwgc
Now regarding the game: 2024 has been a productive year for it, and I hope 2025 will be as m...

What should be the next expedition?
Hello everyone! I'll be able to actively work on the game soon, and just as Amiphelia is gleefully reviewing these reports from Tel, let's review our options about which expedition should be implemented next! 🧭
A: Ancient mines and megacorp headquarters on an underwater volcano
B: In temperate waters, lab where the Vvaktans tried to create a Horn of plenty 2024-12-24 19:13:25 +0000 UTC View Post
New version available!
Hi everyone!
I'm super excited to share with you the release of the new version! It includes:
A whole new expedition 🧭! Explore a vvaktan datacenter in the abyss, and discover the secrets of the AI residing in it.
It's now possible to name your character at the beginning of the game
The mini-games have been slightly reworked so that their difficulty ramps up 📈
When ordering supplies/loading them into the submarine, it...

Next expedition: imminent departure!
I'm almost ready to release the next expedition! Things just need a few more days so I can write the last few bits of dialogue and get rid of some bugs. In the meantime, please enjoy a sneak peak into some of the content of that incoming release!

Hey everyone! Just wanted to let you know I'm still working on the new expedition for the next game release. Unless WholeLottaBlank needs more time than planned for the art, it should be released during the beginning of November!
Your support and patience are really appreciated - as a thank you, here's a sketch of Aleneïra by the talented BreadWithKetchup. Isn't it strange how she gets larger and larger lab coats and yet they still look just as tight?

Here are all the sketches I got from BreadWithKetchup, including:
Elunore ranting
Aleneïra sampling a new energy drink
A very fat Tel needing some time to rest after a a particularly large stuffing
Meliphia and Amiphelia sharing a light meal
Telphedice: off the chart growth
Here's some lineart drawing I got from BreadWithKetchup - I hope you'll appreciate seeing a very obese Tel as much as I do 😊

Huge thanks to Choakchai for this fanart of Amiphelia!
Apparently, being upper class wasn't enough for her, and she also had to be in the upper category of BMI categories 📈

2024-08-25 17:26:20 +0000 UTC View PostChoose the next expedition!
With the new version of the game being almost released, I want to work on adding the next big expedition to the game, and you get to choose which one!
As a small disclaimer, expeditions A and B will directly feature weight gain elements, which means they might require a bit more time to be implemented as I'll have to get more art for them.
- Expedition A : explore a lab located in deep waters, where the vvaktans experimented about virtual consciousness
- Ex...

New (small) version available!
The latest release of the game is now published! It features:
livelier sprites, now with a simple idle/breathing animation

Hi everyone, here are my plans for the game until the end of August! I plan to release two updates to the game. The first one will be published (depending on how much time I can dedicate to it) either in the next few days or around the beginning of August, and will feature:
livelier sprites, now with a simple idle/breathing animation
a lowered threshold to fatten Elunore

Some of you told me about some bugs they encountered since the last release - I've just published a version where these bugs are fixed :) Please reach out to me whenever you find a bug or even if you have a doubt, I'm always happy to chat!
Also I added a new inventory feature: starting with the first expedition, you now have access at all time to the quantities of each supply type. Access it by clicking on the button appearing on the top right of the screen below "menu", or by pressing ...

The latest release of the game is now published! It features:
the first stage of weight gain for Elunore (you'll have to start a new game for it to happen - remember that Elunore eats when she's annoyed, and that she's annoyed when you fail at your job!). Thin Elunore also has been fully redrawn by WholeLottaBlank.

2024-07-10 21:27:00 +0000 UTC View PostNew update coming this Wednesday!
Hi everyone, I'm pleased to announce I'll release a new version of the game on Wednesday 7/10!
It'll contain:
- the first stage of weight gain for Elunore
- more pleasant QTEs, with less risk of losing at them when you're spamming "next dialogue"
I'll also publish the walkthrough guide I've been working on, at first only for patrons of the BIGG magnate and HUGE engineer tiers but after a week everyone subscribed will have access!
Plans for June & Discord server link!
Hi everyone! When I asked, some of you were interested in joining a discord server dedicated to the game, so I created one: https://discord.gg/psmmbVXr . Feel free to join, I'm always happy to chat with you!
Here are plans for the game this month 😊

Discord and/or walkthrough guide?
I'm curious about whether some of you would be interested in a discord server for the game? I feel like this would make it easier for everyone to chat, but I'd keep it simple, with a couple chans at most.
Another question is, would some of you like to have access to a walkthrough guide of the game? I could write one, but only if enough people ask for it 🙂
You can vote for both! This is just a way for me to gauge interest.
What's next?
Now that the second expedition has been released, it's time for you to vote on what should be implemented next!
This time I'd rather go the "underpromise and overdeliver" way, so no big expeditions now that I know I need two months to create and implement one 🗓️

So, I would definitely have preferred to announce the release of the next version instead of writing this, but I'll need a few more days before that, and I apologize deeply for that.
I had a week off work and my initial plan was to use it to complete the development for the new expedition, but unfortunately during that time a serious situation happened in my family, so I couldn't dedicate as much time to the game as I would have liked, even when I tried to power through.
However...
