Currently in-game if your breasts are "inflated" by the dolls and so on, this magically becomes breast flesh. This will no longer be the case if you choose to enable the new inflation and weight gain fetish. Your breasts will literally inflate with gas like balloons, and this gas is lighter than air, helium style. Your breasts can actually become weightless or lighter than air from this. Your breasts will slowly deflate over time.
Your belly can also be inflated with this air. Currently this air exits along with cum and everything else the traditional way, but I'm looking for ways to balance deflation further.
Having enough air in you makes you weigh less than usual, which means you fatigue slower. But if you're too light, or even weightless, you won't be able to get much force behind your attacks.
Becoming lighter than air is possible. If this happens then you will uncontrollably float in the room you're in until you deflate, which may mean there are several monsters waiting for you when you land. Many NPCs will taunt and humiliate you whilst you're stuck floating. In the woods, you'll float way up high and probably land in a different room.
In summary inflation, if managed properly, could help mitigate the wait of your body. But too much inflation is definitely a bad thing. I have plans to expand inflation to your ass but I'm still figuring out the details.
Weight gain, on the other hand, is also possible with this fetish enabled. Essentially if you rest on furniture too often, expect to start getting wobbly arms, thighs and butts. One of the kneeling stools in the dungeon will be cursed, adding a lot of fat.
Exercise is not walled behind the fetish but is relevant. Essentially, performing exhausting activities like attacking and jumping off dildos increases a hidden counter. If this gets high enough without you having needed to rest on furniture, you gain a point of dexterity or strength. Killing a monster massively increases your exercise count. If you have any fat on your body from the above fetish, you'll have to burn that off before you can gain any stats. Burning off fat takes less exercise than gaining a stat point.
The code and descriptions will make a distinction between hip width and ass size when this fetish is enabled.
Do the inflation and weight gain fetishes have to be on the same option? I'm sure there are a few people who are just looking for one or the other. The mechanics sound cool though.
ReplyDeleteWhen Does this build go live?
ReplyDeleteLast post, Aika stated some time in October is the next version release.
DeleteIdea: A item which you can find in the dungeon, where upon use you can choose to inflate a body part. F.e. a syringe.
ReplyDeleteOR
A wearable gag in the form of a gas mask, inflating you.
Keep up the updates!
Perhaps a cursed item of this kind could instead give 'negative' inflation, f.e. a gas that is heavier than air
Deletesilicone injectors or something o.o?
Deletei have a suggestion for the fetish/disadvantage menu; instead of grouping the chastity in with the "starting in bondage", make it a separate choice, so you can start in chastity with anything else you wanted.
ReplyDeleteHere's a thought; if you get inflated enough, maybe sex dolls should become friendly towards you. Also, is there any risk of getting "popped" when you're inflated?
ReplyDeleteHow do cheerleaders handle the weight gain?
I too am interested in interactions. What happens if you're fat but also inflated? How do either/both of these affect schoolgirl/cheerleader outfits being applied? What about lactation milk-storage (going back to the ideas we had about milk storage and the cowgirl STR bonuses in a few posts back)?
DeleteI'd like to see something like the special dresses - get inflated enough without any other special clothing and a cursed latex 'wide open mouth' gag spawns on you, then cursed vaginal and anal plugs with wide openings, cursed latex garments that creep up your body progressively until you finish as a full dutch wife.
Delete^Not an unappealing idea, but it would surely count as a class, which equals a 25 dollar donation.
DeleteFk... it ate my post... I'll just try and remember the gist of it then
DeleteTry to keep each item simple. The "latex garments" will probably have to be the existing latex clothes, otherwise there are too many items.
Try to avoid introducing new mechanics ("full dutch wife"), make use of existing mechanics. While this isn't specifically addressed for clothes, there is a 50$ tier for introducing a TRAP with a new mechanic. I don't think that traps are harder to code than pieces of clothing (once mechanics are coded), so it would be "unfair" if the price stayed at 25$.
$25 - Design a class outfit (like the princess). Requires headgear, and an main outfit, and optional extras.
DeleteI guess the price could be 25 dollars, plus 15 for each piece of clothing, but that wasn't how I read it, at least.
Pretty sure that clothing is easier to code than traps, by the way. A piece of clothing without effects costs 10 dollars, and 15 dollars with one that does have an effect. A trap using existing mechanics costs 30 dollars.
The difference is most likely that aika basically only has to "fill in the blanks" for clothing, while traps using existing mechanics still need to be coded up "individually". I don't know if I should call that being "easier" or not, but I'm not sure if price is a good estimation for the "difficulty" of implementing something. Clothes are probably cheaper because adding more clothes is faster and doesn't exactly affect the game in the same way as traps. In most cases, it's rather easy to avoid specific clothing after all.
DeleteI really would've liked that it didn't eat my post the first time around, since I'm pretty sure I was more elaborate on this. I'll just quote from the "request guideline" on this very blog:
"$25 - Design a class outfit (like the princess). Requires headgear, and an main outfit, and optional extras."
It says optional extras, not whether they have added functionality or not. Assuming that the "optional extras" are related to the class outfit, it's safe to say that some sort of "set effect" is likely.
If existing latex clothing is used, the set effect could simply happen while wearing that "wide open mouth" gag.
In other words, most of the "functionality" is actually centered on one or two items.
That's not to say that the "optional extras" can't have functionality, but I went the "safe route" when suggesting to use the existing latex clothes.
Let's see... "wide open mouth" gag
vaginal and anal plug with wide openings (not sure if separate items)
and "latex garments": (listing possible slots)
underwear (plugs?)
stockings
skirt
bra (latex version available)
corset (latex version available)
overdress (latex version available)
headpiece
If one takes the "full catalog" there would be seven new items spawning after those gags. In the end, it's up to aika, but I'd probably discuss the price.
This also shows why the plugs will probably be one item (because they take up the same clothing spot).
I think it's doable that the "wide open mouth" gag starts spawning latex stuff on you, starting with stockings and "creeping up from there". Instead of giving each piece of clothing intricate effects, I'd just make it part of the set effect. The more pieces you're wearing, the more set effects are triggered.
Also, an idea for the headpiece would be some sort of facemask, maybe even making you look like a sex doll/mannequin/"full dutch wife", because that's the last piece that will be added.
Thanks for fleshing it out so nicely.
DeleteI'm so looking forward to the exercise mechanic!
ReplyDeleteNow THIS is what I've been waiting for! LOVE inflation. Can't wait.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds both entertaining and like it'll add some nice depth to the gameplay. I love it! In unrelated news, could we get any information about the dominatrix or aeromancer enemies? They sound interesting.
ReplyDeleteYou should be able to move between some rooms of the dungeon while floating, some rooms must have big doors right? Ceiling traps would be a good idea now :P
ReplyDeleteThese additions sound fantastic
ReplyDeleteWill you be able to toggle Inflation and weight gain independent from one another?
ReplyDeleteHow much weight is it possible to gain? Too often it's frustratingly low
ReplyDeleteI agree with this statement! The maximum hip/ass size isn't quite enough, at least not for me. I'd love it if it the scale were extended to match the 20 levels of breast size, rather than just the piddly ten sizes of butts that aren't even that big.
Deletetldr; moar biggerer butts, I say!
As others have said, please make weight gain and inflation independent from each other. Weight gain sounds like it could be such an integral and awesome part of the game. But I don't like that it's wrapped up in such a niche fetish as inflation. Some people just want a meatier character, not a balloon person.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I think more flavor text and dialogue when you examine yourself would be awesome. The psychological aspect of this game is one of it's biggest strongpoints.
Couple of thoughts.
ReplyDelete- General consensus seems to want to split inflation/weight gain, but from a programming view, that would probably be a real pain if it's already mostly done (maybe in the future?).
- And, damn, no update this weekend. I was hoping we'd get one a weekend til release. Ah well. Patience is a virtue.
Due to popular demand I've been working on splitting it into two separate fetishes, and then trying to address the balance issues that has created. I'll make a blog post when I'm done.
DeleteThank you so much for going the extra mile.
DeleteWow. I think we're going to need to rename the Good Guy Greg meme.
DeleteNot to ruin anyone's fun, but...
ReplyDeleteAnyone else thinks that weight gain breaks the theme? Do you remember where the game's character is, who did this to him/her and WHY they did it?
As far as I understand it, the trap is supposed to make a sex bomb out of the character. Having a cursed bench that suddenly turns the character "wobbly" seems counter-productive to that goal.
Is it really in keeping with the game's theme to walk around in diapers and have everybody try to pee on you? Not really but its in anyway, so *phhbbbbbbbbt*
DeleteThe goal is the make you a sex doll in the real world, and the program's goal is to try to break your brain so that happens. Maybe it scanned your mind and worked out that virtually implementing certain fetishes makes your brain more pliant and therefore more likely to lose.
DeleteTo be honest I thought weight gain was simply going to replace the current hips/ass mechanics, and affect to a lesser extent, stomach mechanics. Having a slightly chubby girl might be sexy, hell, perhaps even curvy... But I would hope that you could put an "Anti-Obesity" skill or option in case that grosses you out, but still have the brunt of the functionality.
DeleteIt's got to be balanced - you couldn't have a system where you're getting bonuses for regular exercise/combat related things, if you're not getting the downsides from not doing it. Hence why weight gain/exercise are together.
Deleteevery one has their taste i love bbw's and weight gain so for me this makes the game better for me because i like fat girls more then skinny ones. i get that you dont but thats why we can turn on/off fetishes.
ReplyDeleteplease...release...the...next...release...please
ReplyDeleteA teaser release would be awwwwesome.
DeletePersonally I'd rather wait for Aika to be happy with the release. Just one more month ;)
