0.4 Test

Finally, here's the test version of 0.4.

Patreon still haven't sorted out the link issue with Mega files, so click on the link above and it'll ask for a decryption key... Copy and paste the WHOLE line below and it should work. *edit* The link isn't showing as the usual large 'Mega' banner. It's an outlined white (useful colour on a white page, Patreon!) box with 'Mega' inside it in normal sized text.

Quick update...

For all who've been messaging me,  0.4 is all but finished. Couple of tweaks in the morning  and then I'll be doing final testing over the weekend. It'll be ready before the end of the month :)

Oh, and just to whet your appetites, this will be another 200+ images update.

Update on 0.4 (yay) and Patreon Sales Tax (boo)

As those of you who've been PMing me will know, , 0.4 will now be ready towards the end of the month, rather than the middle of the month as I originally hoped.  

The main reason for the delay is the 'tweaks' that I mentioned at Alice's new size. I was planning to add a couple. Then I added a couple more. And then a few more. The upshot being that most of the replayable scenes now have a few new bits to discover :) Just about all of these are now done, so I want to take a further t...

0.4 is coming along nicely

A quick update on where we are so far...

Daz Studio rolled out an update a couple of weeks ago... and damn, it was a pain. Slow, glitchy, a BIG increase in resources used and, most annoyingly, my render queue stopped working. Felt more like a beta than a release version!

Thankfully, they responded fairly quickly to my request for a rollback, so I only lost a few days of overnight rendering time and I've caught up since :)

More of the story has been added. Obviously, the conc...

0.3 Before and after

This seemed pretty popular last time round, so as promised, here's the updated version of the pic taking into account Alice's new size in V0.3. As requested, I've also added her starting weight at each size.

What's coming in 0.4?

I've had a little bit of a break (got a lot of images done though!), but I'm now back to writing/coding for the next version of the game.

I guess it's going to be more of the same, really. The outcome of Alice's latest dilemna (will she carry on growing? I'll leave it to you to guess!), almost certainly more Becca/Hannah/Janet and just... more story :) Plus anything else that leaps into what I laughingly call my mind.

Stay safe! :)

V0.3(Final) Mac

Patreon is still refusing to properly link to files. Click the link and it'll ask for a decryption key, which is the above line of text. Simply copy and paste that.

As usual with the Mac version, it should work okay, but I can't test it to check. Please let me know one way or the other :)

And now, on to 0.4...

Stay safe!

V0.3 (Final) PC

All the reported bugs have (hopefully) been fixed, but if you find anything before the 'TBC' screen, please let me know! I've made some tweaks too - a few replacement images, lots of spelling/text amends and a few little adjustments to the behind the scenes stuff.

The 'multiple endings' of 0.3

I'm getting a lot of messages asking me about how to find the multiple endings to 0.3...

I never said there were multiple endings. What I said was 'there's more than one outcome to the ending of 0.2',  These outcomes are separate paths which (hopefully) converge again at some point.

There is only one ending to 0.3. Hope that clears up the confusion :)

0.3 Bugfixing update

Reported typos (I'm sure there are others!) - fixed 

New character will call you by the wrong name once – fixed 

Crash when you ask Alice if she wants more beer when she's on her big diet thing – fixed 

Alice only needing one hour of sleep(!) - fixed 

When Alice asks you to meet her sister, this doesn't always trigger properly – fixed? (need to playthrough to double-check) 

A few 'comment not defined' messages – hopefully I've now...

0.3 Bug fixing...

I'm amazed by how few bugs have been reported so far. I thought it would be well into double figures. So far, we have the following...

Once again, Patreon is encrypting direct Mega links. I've not heard back from them yet as to why this is happening, so copy and paste the above (the WHOLE line) into your browser to download. Any problems, please let me know.

Whilst it's downloading, please read the below :)

This one was a nightmare to debug. Seemed to hit...

V 0.2 Public (PC)

Patreon is being crap and encrypting any link that I upload in the normal way. If you copy and paste the below link (the whole line, not just the highlighted part) into your web browser, you should be able to download V0.2 of the game. Please let me know if this doesn't work!

Okay. V 03 should be ready in the next couple of days, so...

Before and After

Who doesn't love a before and after shot of a girl who's piling on the pounds?

Amongst the many assets that I've bought this month, I found a nifty little utility which works out the measurements of a character. It seems pretty accurate - it gives her height as 5ft 4in, which is correct, so I'd assume the measurements are correct too.

So... thought it might be fun to show Alice's size progress so far. The picture shows her size from the beginning of the game up until (almost) the...

V0.3 is almost ready

The next version of the game is almost complete. I've got a little bit more text to write and a couple of images to rerender, but then it'll be ready for testing. I'll play through it a couple of times over the weekend and, if there aren't any major bugs, I'll put the test version out on either Monday or Tuesday of next week.

There's a fair bit of new stuff! The new character makes a few appearances, there's a completely new scene, some of the existing scenes have been expanded a bit,...

Mid-April

 Well, we're already halfway through April! So, time for another quick update.  

The new scene is finished for all sizes, including the latest size that you haven't yet seen. Two scenes have had big updates, and a couple more have had minor updates. There's a preview of the new scene for Patrons, as well as a sneak peek of the new character who'll be making an appearance.  

All the above new bits are now added, tested and (hopefully!) bug free. I'm sure I'll have mi...

Pacing of the game?

Obviously, the speed at which things happen in the game is unrealistic. It'd be a bit boring if it took six months plus of game time for each size increment!

Which means I'm trying to hit the sweet spot of making the pace of the game as realistic as I can whilst still remaining enjoyable. When I started work on the game, it was my intention to increase the amount of time it took for each size increment by about 50% at some point. And now that all the replayable content is more or less ...

6 months in...

Time flies when you're having fun! It's hard to believe that it's six months to the day that I started working on this. Things have progressed somewhat from the original sprites over background demo of the cafe scene and pretty much nothing else! From around a dozen images, to well over 500. And from a hundred lines of code or so to many thousands!

I'm quite proud of just how much the game has grown and there's a lot more to come before I'm finished :) 

I'm working away on v0...

Sneak Peek (read the notes before downloading!)

Okay, Mega is being a pain and putting a password on the file for some reason if I post it in the usual way! But it seems to work if you copy and paste the link into your browser. So, here it is....

https://mega.nz/file/qiZ0yCJS#3ZoIGU-KGVWbpCTEaQzNJcdFnobl55EI8Y6ju6cNf0I

This is the sneak peek that I mentioned for the new scene in 0.3. If you don't want to know what the new scene is, don't...

Just wondering...

I mentioned in the April post that I have a new scene added - and that I might post a sneak peek.

Would you guys like to see it? Or would you prefer it if I kept it as a surprise for the next demo (which is coming together pretty well btw)?

Sneak Peek part 2

Here's the modified version of the new character who'll be appearing in the next version of the game. I wasn't happy with a few aspects of how she looked, so she's had a bit of surgery!

Have fun working out where she fits in... the background may or may not be a red herring :p

And we're into April...

Firstly, due to all this Coronavirus unpleasantness, I have been working from home for the past week or so, and will be for the foreseeable future. Unfortunately, this means that I need a fully functioning PC during working hours, which means that I can't simply leave it rendering a queue of images all day as I used to. The rendering slows it down too much. So, I haven't got as many images done yet as I'd like. That said, I have got a lot of them done, and I'm confident I can have the next de...

Free Feb demo and the hard cap...

The vast majority of people who have downloaded the free demo can ignore this, but to those who have messaged me to complain about the hard cap on the Feb demo of the game, this was NOT added to try and force you into paying for the new version. It was an attempt to try and prevent all the bug reports from far further into the game than I've tested up to, and was present in the Patron release as well as the free version. 

I didn't like it. Neither did anyone else and in future vers...

Sneak peek time!

Here's the latest new character to be added to the game... I might change a few of the details, but this is more or less how she'll appear in the next version.

Who is she?

Where does she fit into what I laughingly call 'the plot'?

Does she rival Alice in her liking for pizza?

Is the pizza comment a red herring?

Who knows!

This poll refers to the pictures below...

 Which is which?

Patreon won't let me add more than one picture to a poll post, so this poll refers to the four pictures below!

As some of you know, I've been thinking about moving the Alice character (and possibly others) from the Genesis 3 model to Genesis 8 in Daz studio. This will allow me to take advantage of clothing that conforms better to her curves, as well as some new morphs for her expanding figure.

After a bit (okay, a lot) of tweaking the new model, the pic...

See the poll above

Patreon in its infinte wisdom won't let me add multiple pictures to a poll, so I'm having to post the pictures for it seperately!

V0.2 (Mac version) - Please read the notes :)

Here's the Mac version of the demo. As previously, whilst this 'should' work, I don't own a Mac, so am unable to test it. Please let me know one way or the other if it works :)

You may hit the odd 'comment not defined' message towards the end. I think I've caught all of them, but with the way the game calls these, it's hard to be sure. Feel free to report these if you like, but I won't be uploading a new version simply to fix these.

If you hit any glitches AFTER the end of conte...

V0.2 Final (PC) - Please read the notes :)

Right, here's the (hopefully) final version of 0.2. As far as I'm aware, there aren't any bugs, but if you find any BEFORE the message saying you've hit the end of the content, let me know.

Bug reports...

I'm hoping to have the final version of 0.2 uploaded for Patrons later today (I haven't forgotten about the Mac version!). I think I've fixed all the bugs and glitches that were reported, but it's been a struggle with a couple of them as the descriptions were pretty vague and I can't be certain that I've corrected them. The game now has well over 10K lines of code and it's nigh on impossible, not to mention hugely time consuming, to go through all that text to trace an error.  

So...

Next version...

If there are no more glitches reported, I should have the stable version of the demo up at the weekend - probably tomorrow - which means it's time for me to start work on the next demo! Or at least concrete work, seeing as I've already been working on a few renders of Alice at her next size :)

What's going to be added? Well, general opinion seems to be that everyone was very happy with the additions made in the current version, so how about simply more of the same? If all goes accordin...
