Thanks to everyone who's reported bugs and glitches so far! Amazingly, there don't appear to be any game breakers in there this time round, just a few oversights on my part.
Most of what's been reported has been fixed, apart from the missing comments which isn't straightforward due to the way the game calls them. Should hopefully find them though!
Depending on what else gets reported, I'm aiming to have a new version of the demo up by the weekend.
*edit* I've removed the link to this as a newer version is now available.
Here's the latest version of the game - V0.2 test! As I'm no longer doing a demo every month, I've switched to version numbers rather than month labels.
As usual, this is the test version of the game. I've added a lot of stuff, so I'm sure there will be glitches.
The hard cap is now gone. At some stage, you will (hopefully!) get a message telling you that you've hit the end of the current co...

Here's the Mac version of the current (Feb) demo. Big thanks to dingotush over at the Weight Gaming forum for testing this for me!
When you try to install it, it'll go through the usual Mac paranoia about the app being from an unknown developer, but it should work okay.
Well, the next version of the game is almost ready, so as promised, here's the February version for everyone to try. It should be bug free, but if you hit any issues, please do let me know.

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it a new and even more delicious form of pizza than pepperoni?
Have I evilly cropped the picture (which is from the upcoming demo) so that you can't tell how much heavier Alice is? (Yes. Yes, I have)
2020-03-01 12:00:13 +0000 UTC View PostFebruary has gone scarily quickly! But, I'm comfortably on target to have the next demo out by the middle of March:) If all goes well, the test version will be ready by next weekend. All the writing is pretty much done at this point. I simply have to finish the images. And whilst they're rendering away, play though a few times to check everything is working properly.
And, speaking of rendering, I've now bought a utility that queues up the renders! :) This is a HUGE tim...

Has Alice made a new friend?
Has Alice engaged a personal trainer? (She looks kind of athletic)
Am I being deliberately misleading?
All will be revealed next month!
Seeing as Patreon peeps have had a sneak preview of the next demo, I thought I'd share a few images from the February version, which will be made public next month.
2020-02-15 12:28:32 +0000 UTC View Post
Right... half way through the month, so thought I'd reveal a couple (okay, three) pictures from the next version of the game.
Lots still to do, but I'm getting there. About 35% of the new images are done, so I'm tentatively on course for the demo being ready mid-March.

As promised, here's the Mac version of the Feb demo. I don't have access to a Mac, so I have no idea whether this will work or not! Let me know :)
2020-02-10 20:07:56 +0000 UTC View PostI might not be working at the frenetic pace of last month, but I've already got a fair bit done. And, more importantly, now the pressure is off, I'm enjoying it again!
The next weight gain sequence is written :) Particularly enjoyed that part! The images are almost finished for this part.
The weigh-in scene now has working numbers. Although it will depend on what sort of mood Alice is in as to whether she tells you what they are.
The next story sequence for Hannah has ...
2020-02-08 14:04:22 +0000 UTC View PostI've had a few people express interest in a Mac version of the game. Ren'py supports IOS, so I've had a go and created a version of the current Feb build! However, I have no access to a Mac (apart from at work, where I can't test the game, for obvious reasons), so I have no idea whether this works or not.
So... if any of you guys are running the game under an emulator on your Mac, and would like a proper(?) Mac version to try out, let me know and I'll upload it.
I won't be able t...
2020-02-03 20:58:58 +0000 UTC View PostAs many of you know, I'm going to be switching to a bi-monthly(ish) demo, rather than putting out a demo every month. This'll give me more time to work on the ever-expanding (a bit like Alice's waistline) number of images for each size iteration and work on the storyline/plot without putting myself under too much pressure to get everything ready to go within such a short space of time.
As usual, Patreon people will get to see the demo first. There's going to be a change to how the...
2020-02-02 19:34:23 +0000 UTC View PostA bit of a long read, but kind of important.
I've had a few very nice comments about how much content I've added to the game in such a short space of time. Since I started work on the game back in October, it's taken up just about all of my spare time. Which is cool. I've enjoyed it!
However, getting the February demo completed in time really felt like a chore rather than fun. Which isn't good. It was a real struggle to get all the images ready. My PC was rendering p...

Okay, here's the updated version of the Feb. demo. All the missing images have now been added and I've tweaked/tidied up some of the others.
A few minor text amends and one small bug fix. Everything should hopefully be working! :)
This is ready to go. Just waiting for one person to get back to me regarding a possible bug.
2020-01-31 12:45:20 +0000 UTC View PostI'm hopeful that the test version of this will be ready tomorrow (28th). I've played through a couple of times up to the current cap without any errors, so I just have to add two more images (one of which is rendering now) to get a batch finished and then we're up and running.
For the test version, there will be one scene without any images as they're not ready yet. It'll be obvious which scene! I'll get any reported bugs fixed while the images for this final scene are being...

I may have been procrastinating a bit on Facebook instead of dilligently testing the game, and spotted this.
Both Hannah and Alice are listed. And, rather worryingly, Hannah is listed twice! Better be nice to her. You have been warned!
As most of you know, I'm planning on introducing actual numbers for Alice's weight, which will hopefully complement the existing text. I've asked what her starting weight should be, and a couple of people have pointed out, quite rightly, that this will depend a lot on how tall she is!
I actually had no idea of her height; Daz Studio doesn't have any way of measuring this. One quick download of a measuring stick later, and here are the two main characters hamming it up in front of said ...
Got quite a few images done this weekend! Still loads to do, but there are going to be a lot of new pics in the next demo :)
As several people have asked, here are a couple of previews...
The scales pic should please at least a couple of people! This one may not make it into the next demo - depends if I get the scene written in time! It'll tie in with the actual weight numbers that are going to get added, although this part definitely won't be ready for Feb.
The beer pic...
Okay, here's the January demo for everyone to take a look at. Hope you enjoy it! There'a fair bit of new stuff added :)
(Patreon people, you don't need to download this. It's the same as the version that you already have)
*edit* I should have posted a couple of notes with this.
Firstly, if you hit a message saying "Comment not yet defined", this isn't a bug. It's simply a placeholder for text that I haven't added yet.
Secondly, after the first weight gain scene, Ali...
Halfway through the month and what's new...?
Gameplaywise, not a lot as yet. I've been spending pretty much every spare second on new images so far this month, and if all goes well, there will be 60 plus new images added in Feb. Most of these will be Alice at her first size increase.
These are taking a lot of time. I have almost 30 done so far. I'm probably not going to have them all in place for the start of February, so the current plan is to add as many as poss...
I'm working away at adding the images for this month, but I think I may have been very optimistic in thinking I'll get a full round of size increments in place by the end of the month.
My PC has been rendering away constantly. I've even started running it overnight every night processing images, but we're a third of the way through the month and I've only got around a quarter of them done. I may have to look into how much an RTX graphics card speeds up rendering time.

2020-01-12 10:06:23 +0000 UTC View PostNow that the Christmas insanity is over (and my head has recovered from New Year), time to have a think about what to add to the game this month.
Pretty much all the core of the game is now up and running. I'll be tweaking various sections to improve them and substituting more of the placeholder comments with actual text. I'm planning on adding at least the first round of images of Alice at her first size increase.
Working on the storyline.

Update notes:
Your current save games 'should' work with this version... fingers crossed!
The scene with Hannah overworking herself at the gym should only occur once. Easy fix, but it'll involve inserting a variable that will break any save games, so I've left it as is for now. Will be sorted out for the next demo.
A couple of image revamps. One that I really wasn't happy with and the other to fix a graphical glitch that I'd missed.

Or do Alice's new curves look rather good in tight leggings?
This is one her new outfits for this coming month. Although you'll have to wait and see which scene she wears it in :)
Hope you've all had a good one.
Amazingly, I'm not too hungover today. And am itching to get started on expanding the game. Unfortunately, I can't do anything yet, as I'm still waiting for more info on a couple of the glitches that have been reported. All the fixes are done apart from those, If I've not heard anything by tomorrow, I'll upload the new version then. I'm all but certain that one of the issues is a one-off crash and I'm 98% sure I've found and fixed the other i...
The bad news is that my nephew is ill. Nothing remotely serious, but means that my brother and his family didn't make it over today.
The good news is that gave me a few hours to kill. I've finished the Jan demo and it's uploading now. Ok, it's not January yet, but realistically, I'm not going to get any more done over the next few days!
I'll post on the Patron section when it's ready to download...
I'm hoping to have this up no later than January 2nd. Possibly earlier, but it depends how much time I have.
I only have two more images to render for the first weight gain scene, but there's a bug somewhere that's stopping the scene from triggering, so I've got to find out what's causing that!
I'll then have to do a couple of playthroughs up to about day 50 or so to check that everything is (more or less) working as it should be.
A reminder that this will be a test ve...
