I like your games, you're talented.
hey, where is the game too much jelly ?
I think Yuyanite is fixing that visual bug in the mobile version..
Uh, where is Too much Jelly? I saw the game earlier, I still have it downloaded, but now the page is gone
Yunyanite is simply overwhelmed by her unaware popularity and needs to recover and rest.
You know, I have a game and I want everyone to be able to play it, but sharing it is out of the question due to copyright issues and I know she will probably disagree.
I need a mp3 version of the soundtrack
is the boss battle possible? cause I keep on failing, and I just wanna make sure it's not like a ragebait lol..
besides that, it's an awesome game!! I love it so muchh
Peak!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
here's my highest weight and my highest damage in my fifth run
...or as some might say, a mouthful.
Hope this game gets another update eventually
kinda wanna see an expansion of this type of game genre that has more fetishes enabled to be played. roguehyper/rogueinflation/roguepregnancy just to name a few :F
I have a few ideas for this game I want implemented
Hope you consider adding this to this pretty good fetish game
Am i imagining it or do sacks make you gain more weight
i just started a new run and my character aint there
Here's my lowest weight. It was 125 before a DISASTROUS floor 4 in which I got a massive RNG roll on the nutrition from a crate of food.
Ending at 0 weight gain and 0 fullness. The only way this could be better is if I managed to find clothes along the way.
holy cow, doing that in just 3:40 is impressive af
oh um, the ingame timer is bugged. If you load a save, the timer resets.
oops, I gotta add that to my bug tracker
still, a 0-gain run is an impressive achievement nonetheless
How do I use CHEAT mode
Cool game. Lots of depth. The nutrition mechanic is pretty obtuse, though. It's not really explained at all, and certain aspects are pretty unintuitive. Like, why would your food capacity only grow when eating food with nutrition? I feel like if I ate a block of ice, my stomach would probably grow.
I suppose the experimentation is half the fun, though. I just wish it didn't take so long to reset a run.
I actually originally had it so that food capacity would grow regardless of nutrition, but that ended up being difficult to control (you could eat everything on floor 1 and steamroll the rest of the game), so limiting it to nutrition intake just felt like the most natural way to curb it.
I do agree that the mechanic itself is a bit obtuse, so I'm thinking about putting an in-game blurb somewhere to help explain that in a later patch.
sweet!
How weight gain is calculated is an enigma to me.
I eat an egg. That 4 nutrition and 2 lbs
I eat 2 hearts. That's 4 nutrition and 2 lbs
I eat meat. That's 5 nutrition and 2 lbs
I eat a heart and an egg. That's 6 nutrition and 5 lbs
Why does an increase of 1 in nutrition lead to a gain of an extra 3 lbs? It makes no sense!
I've noted several amounts of nutrition along with how much they give, and it seems like the weight gain is supposed to be linear, but it has sections where it stays stagnant before jumping up to one less than the nutrition value.
The nutrition-to-weight growth is supposed to be linear, but the actual calculation is a bit funky since I used integers for a lot of the weight stuff.
Basically, for every 3 nutrition, 1 lb is distributed to the belly, 1 lb to the thighs, and 3/4 lb is distributed to the chest (rounded down after sum).
This results in stuff like:
10 nutrition -> 8 lbs
11 nutrition -> 8 lbs
12 nutrition -> 11 lbs
I actually hadn't noticed any of this until you pointed it out, so good catch btw
oh, so that's why milk makes you gain 30 pounds
Can I ask- Does the NULL cube or the SCP-686 milk do anything in the game? I imagine that the milk increases breast size but I have no visual indicators or stats I can look at to confirm that. I have no idea what the Null cube might do
Once you fall asleep, the null cube gives 120 nutrition, which is a strange quantity that first fills up your health, then your weight and stomach capacity. For comparison, the egg gives you 4 nutrition once you fall asleep.
The milk temporarily increases breast size after sleeping. It also causes you to gain 30 lbs.
If you don't mind, I'd like to suggest some possible additions, in the form of Modes;
Casual Mode: Everything is easier. Cake doesn't hurt you when it attacks you and you're already full, Coke and Mentos are more potent, enemies do less damage, have less defense, and contain more "FD". Also, the mimic in the boss room is a real sack instead. Intended to better enjoy the fetishy aspects of this fat fetish game.
Competitive mode: Exact opposite of casual mode. It's harder to fill yourself up, enemies have more defense and attack, However, when eating things that increase defense and attack, they do so slightly more than normal. Intended to play into the "game" part of this fat fetish game
Hardcore mode: Exactly like how the game currently is except sacks cannot heal you when you sleep, so you have to use the hearts, and if there are no hearts, then you can't heal.
Also maybe add the ability to continue playing once you eat the boss in the Boss Room
Actually now that I think about it, there's an unfair amount of enemies in the boss room, maybe you should just make the mimic into a real sack, or make it so that defeating a mimic turns them INTO a sack, or something, cause that could fix the balancing issue of the boss room pretty easily
This would all have to be a whole update by itself tho, so like, if you decide to do any of this, take your time and stuff
You end up in impossible situations way too often. The problem with mystery dungeon like games is always this.
like wtf am i even supposed to do here
literally impossible without insane luck in previous rooms. masterful gambit roguelite game creator
not really. You have 84 max hp, and you can basically 1-shot every enemy with your 35 damage sneak attack (breaking line of sight right before attacking).
Even if you don't know about that, you can still fight enemies one at a time, making sure not to let the cake attack. Don't bother eating enemies unless your health is getting low. Prioritize eating cakes. This situation is not only possible, but easy.
So uh I did a thing and got 2 megastackers (Whatever the big burgers are called) on floor 1 and then 2 and then uh went to endless
Edit 1: the picture above is my new record
Is it possible to slightly modify this? I want to either make or receive a version that replaces all the enemies with Cakes and Gutbusters, as they're my favorite enemies but all the other enemy types interrupt the feeding. Either on mobile or Windows.
When the next update come out
BRUUUU HOW TO BEAT BOSS ITS IMPOSSIBLE
get lucky with getting a giga stacker on floor 1 2 3 or 4
There's 2 strategies:
1. attempt to reach it without a full stomach (difficult)
2. reach it with a full stomach and punch it to death
the final boss actually isn't too strong. It's the common enemies that are the problem. Try to funnel them all through the hole in the room, hiding behind the wall to get sneak attacks. Never let a cake catch you. They're slow, but they stun you for 5 turns on attack. If a cake attack is unavoidable, eat the cake first.
So are there other combos to eat. ? Like the null cube and smh ? Because there is the cola and mentos bag so ? Are there any other ones ?
nah, the cola and mentos are the only combo items to eat
Oh okay then, still a cool idea
This is very fun i hope to see more of it
how do i get past ruined halls, it makes me restart every time i beat the first giga-snacker?
The giga-stacker is the final boss. The path to endless mode is actually a secret on the same floor. Instead of going right at the start, eat through the south wall.
gemmy game
solid, but first boss fight level seems impossible to me at least with the complete mobbing and not being able to defeat them by attacking or eating before you get killed.
there is a hidden exit you can take on that floor to skip past(Hint: you CAN eat walls
so i didnt have to grind my... food" bar to above 700 to kill everything and eat everything..?
no also if your smart about it and eat something big just inches away from you being full you will get a HUGE stomach size up i got to the point were i could eat all enemy's on the floor and still not be full XD
That's how I grinded the hunger bar.
Nice
Is this game dead?
its not.
It was all fun and games until I accidentally clicked the pillow
It was a downhill from that point onward
yup I do that sometimes on accident too
I have played your game RogueWeight & loved the 2-D vore style of your game. I want to make a game like this in the future base on a different theme, if you are able could you make a summary of how you made this wonderful little gem.
Is there a specific feature or topic you would like to know more about? I think a general summary is too broad for me to write about.
I have no clue on what to ask as I have no experience with make games. So the only thing I can ask is where the best way to get started on the path of making a game like yours. Is there a book or a video series that help you get started off?
I don't have any recommendations for books or videos tbh, but if you're looking to make a game for the first time, then I'd try out Godot.
There's a lot of starter tutorial videos for making games in Godot, and the engine itself is reasonably beginner-friendly. I also found Godot to be the best for making my games so far.
No matter what you use to make games though, it's all about starting small and making simple things like Pongs or platformers before moving on to bigger game ideas. Experiment, learn stuff, and try to have fun.
I'm not personally big on weight gain, but I am still a sucker for Mystery Dungeon games, and this is pretty good for a Jam game.
I understand you've more or less put this on hiatus to focus on other projects, but I do think you did a good job with the additions in the post jam to smooth it out and give it more re-playability also, (only really snowballing at around 2+ tons).
Whether you've heard it or not, I'm sure you could have plenty of ways to expand upon this with food themed floors, different playable characters and effects. The main thing I would suggest is have rooms and hallways scale up to accommodate the character size, since it becomes tricky to judge which tile you're on at the maximum size.
good game
it fun
somehow it isnt compatible with my phone.
Hewwo! I already play your games “RogueWeight” and it’s pretty cool and fun! >w< Love her belly that very wriggle hehe~ (sorry, I’m bad English)
