how is it going? I hope this isn't discontinued i really like this game and wanted to ask, if everything is alright?

(+3)

I'm still working on it. Just not rushing it.

hi, so i have a suggestion here for the future:
I honestly think that the stomach capacity should decrease when not stuffed for a long period of time, I think it would make it a little more realistic

(+1)

This is how stomach capacity used to work in one of the the earlier versions. Your character could also lose weight if not eating for a while. I removed both mechanics because I felt it didn't really fit with how I wanted the game to be played.

When designing the game, I'm trying to have a rewards-first approach, I privilege encouraging behaviors I want the player to have rather than punishing the ones I don't. And since this is an inflation/fat fetish game, the most basic rewards I can give the player for playing the game are weight gain and expanded stomach capacity. Which would make reducing the character's weight and stomach capacity a punishment.

Debucon is a "long-term" kind of game. You don't just binge play the game in one afternoon, it's a game you come back to every now and then.  I'm not expecting the players to launch the game every single day, but rather play it for a bit, forget about it for a few days (or weeks), then boot it again to get a quick fix, and so on. I don't want the player to feel like the game is a daily chore, and I don't want them to feel penalized for taking a break. If I reduced the character's stats because the player didn't feed it for a few days, I would be penalizing a behavior I don't even actually want to discourage in the first place. Which is why I decided against decreasing weight and stomach capacity over time, if the character's stats were to be decreased, it would have to be a choice deliberately made by the player. Sometimes you need to sacrifice realism to improve other parts of the experience you want to convey.

Sorry for the long rambling, I like discussing game design (and I'm also open to hearing arguments against my stance!)

I understand, though you could make it an option that can be enabled/disabled which would be better instead.

I guess making it an option is possible yeah. It wouldn't be too hard either.

hi again! silly request but id like to flex my writing chops essentially. would it be possible for me to lend myself to writing more dialogue/personalities or other things like that? if not thats ok too! >:3

(1 edit)

Sure thing! I'm currently working on a new version of the customization tools, which will allow anyone to do just that. I'm almost done with the dialogue editor, and I still need to flesh out the personality editor.
If you can wait until the next version is released, you'll have all the tools to inject your dialogues straight into the game. Otherwise you can contact me on the Weight Gaming forums.

(1 edit)

coolio! ive always lurked on the WG forums but i should probably make an account now . once you get the new dialogue tools out (no rush :3) ill probably post them around what i make around there. thank you <3

how do i make them nude

There's no option for that for the time being.

(1 edit)

oh ok thanks

hi again ! its been a bit. no questions or anything, just wanted to wish you well and stuff <3

Thank you!

I am not a native English speaker, so I am sorry that this paragraph may not flow well.

I find this game a little difficult to make money, I am not good at playing Tetris. Can you add another way to make money early in the game, or tell me how to modify the save directly, thank you

You can add yourself more money through the debug menu, there's a button just for that. You can also find your save files in your Appdata/Local folder if you want to mess around with it, but I may not be able to help much if you break it so if you have no idea what you're doing I'd advise against it.

There will be more ways to earn money in the future.

Thank you for your reply. I couldn't find the modification system at first. Have a good time and get better at the game

It has been a long time since an update, how is it going? I hope you're doing well.

I'm still on it, currently working on the dialogue edition tool.

It may take a lot longer though, there's still a lot more I would like to do before releasing the next version, and I don't spend as much time working on it as I used to.

Every time I open the game now it gives a black screen on start up with appearing text.

I do not know how you managed that, but it looks like you're launching an entirely different game. Could you try re-downloading the game?

(1 edit)

it's been a fair bit, how much longer until next version is released? just a rough estimate will do

(1 edit)

I don't know yet.

I know it has been a while, but there's a lot of things going on in my life right now and this game is not my priority at the moment. I'll make a post when I have more information to share, but for now I do not have anything new to report.

(1 edit) (+1)

By the way, I have a little idea:
It would be nice, but certainly not necessary, to add the ability to stroke your girlfriend's belly, perhaps a separate mini-game or feature. This could make her want to take more food, which would make her belly bigger than the maximum, leading to a reddened belly, but that's just an idea.
Speaking of which, how is the development going? Hope you are doing well, looking forward to the next update!

(1 edit)

I can expand on the interaction system, for sure. Instead of just clicking, I could define a few actions (stroking, poking, groping, patting, idk...) which could lead to different reactions.

Development is halted for the time being. I'll get back to it once I have recovered.

Is there an update coming? If so when? I would be happy to know.

(+1)

There will be one eventually, but I don't know when it'll be ready. My situation is still not really ideal and I can't work on this project at full speed right now.

okay thanks, i hope you get well.

Android?

Not planned for the foreseeable future.

I only have a license to build for Windows, Linux and Mac so at the moment making a version for any other support is impossible. I might consider buying a license once the game is finished and stable, but that'll be in a few years.

Can Emma still become a feeder for characters who is adverse to gaining?

She can, only the dialogs will change.

Hi, I'm willing to help with writing dialog and/or making miscellaneous sprites (food items, menu stuff), and/or color palettes, and/or possibly music for the game. Tell me how/if I can pitch in! I'm very excited to see the further development of Debucon.

Suggestions:

  • Option to turn the debu around in the character window. Yes I know, you'll need to make basically twice as many sprites... but it would be so fun to finally properly see that magnificent ass...
  • More resolution/fullscreen options
  • What is the food below the taco? I wasn't able to locate it in the cooking menu or in the shop.
  • Make new screenshots of the current version, and I suggest adding screenshots with bigger body sizes, but where the actual body is blurred. That way, people can immediately tell this is a properly good WG game (which it is) without spoiling the final result.
  • Why in the world are the food items in the cooking menu blurred? Doesn't GM upscale sprites using Nearest Neighbor by default? If you want a better way of scaling pixel art than Nearest Neighbor, I suggest https://marketplace.yoyogames.com/assets/1911/better-scaling with the 5xbrc shader. It sort of rounds the pixels and looks pretty good imo.
  • Please, make more different minigames for earning money, and increase the amount earned. To me personally, it's more hot when you need actual effort to feed her, rather than spamming the "more money" button, but when after like 15 minutes I had barely enough money for, say, 3 days of feeding, it's just not worth it.
  • You can go into the "Metadata" tab in Itch, then into "promo images" to change the little browser icon that appears in the game page's browser tab (Favicon). A little detail that I always follow for some reason.
(1 edit)

Hey, thanks for the feedback!

First, thanks for offering your help. You can contact me on Discord, I'll then send you an invite to join the dev server. It's not very active (not to say dead since I announced the hiatus), but it's still a convenient way to share resources and communicate.

Regarding the suggestions:

  • rear-view sprites will probably never happen. The amount of work it represents would be completely nuts and there is still a lot of work before I can consider the game finished, so no rear-view.
  • Because I'm a dumbass and didn't plan properly at the beginning, resolutions are a bit tricky to handle. But I can try to add a few more yeah.
  • That's an item you get when you try to cook something without following a recipe. For now all the recipes are unlocked so chances are you won't get this item unless you deliberately fuck up, but the cooking mechanics are still a work in progress and will be expanded later on.
  • Regarding the screenshots and icon, it's in the work. I've been working on a new and fancier interface for the itch.io page and even though it has also been put on hold for now, you can bet I'm going to release it sometime soon (after I've introduced a few outfits, so probably around version 0.10 or 0.11).
  • That's a small glitch because of shaders shenanigans, I'll get it fixed in the next version.
  • More minigames are planned, but it'll take a bit of time. The economy of the game is still very much unfinished, but there will definitely be more sources of money (more minigames, passive incomes, competitions & bets...) , as well as more money sinks (outfits and home decoration mainly).

i played this for a bit then it crashed and when i tried to run it again it says it cant run on my pc and the file is out of date. how can i fix this?

Can you show me the exact error you're getting?

This is what it says

I couldn't find anything relevant on this and since I can't reproduce it I don't really know how to fix it, sorry... All I can advise is taking a look at the compatibility options in the .exe properties and maybe run the compatibility troubleshooter.

Which version of Windows are you using? Are you using the zip or installer? If you're using the installer, I'd advise to uninstall and try using the zip instead ; the installer really doesn't bring anything and I'm going to stop uploading it going forward.

(1 edit) (+1)

Try updating your graphic drivers if it's not fully updated, that's how I fixed mine when I got the error too

How are you doing there, bro, alive?

Still here. I'm still recovering, but I've started working on the game again a bit. I'm not making very fast progress because I still need to rest and work leaves me a bit exhausted, but I'm making some progress here and there nonetheless, so that's something.

(+1)

Good for you, remember your health, it's the most important thing

Question, is there a way to progress an IRL day via commands or smth in-game? I love the game but it's hard waiting for more lol

You can cheat the game's calendar either by changing your system's clock or by editing the timestamp in the save file. But now that you mention it, that's something I could add as a debug option for the time being.

I played this for exactly 2 hours and it's already so fun to play, the dialogs are great and the NPCs too, I heard that there was a questline for Emma, could you explain how I could get the questline from Emma?

You basically need to become friends with her, and at some point you'll get to invite her. Then, you can turn her into a feeder by feeding your character in front of her while she's visiting.

(+1)

am here from the dev discord, darnetal is currently in the hospital and doesn't know for how long, so the update may be delayed :<

This dosent work on linux :(

[ALSOFT] (EE) Failed to connect PipeWire event context (errno: 112)

Segmentation Fault

(3 edits)

From what I can see, segmentation faults can happen when trying to access a directory without having the rights to do so. Can you check if the game can access your Home/.config/ directory in read/write? It is where the game writes save files.

If it isn't it, I have no clue. Can you tell me the Linux version you are using?

I use latest version of Artix Linux with XFCE.

I'll investigate and let you know if I find anything.

does this work on mobile

It doesn't, only Windows and Linux.

Some questions and suggestions:

-Any plans to make an Android version?

-You should increase the maximum size a character can reach

-I don't know if you already plan to put this in the game, but I would like to have more clothes for the character to wear

-I don't know if it's stupid of me, but I can't change the npc that can visit my house (Emma and the other two)

(1 edit)

No plans for an android version for now, I don't have the license to export to android. I'll also probably need to rework the UI to make the game work on a phone screen, and I'd rather focus on a single PC version rather than two separate versions.

Regarding the size and clothes, it's planned, but making sprites take time. If I add bigger sizes right now, I'll need to make more sprites for the outfits and adding clothes will take me more time. For now, I'll prioritize making a few clothes for the sizes that are already available, and once I'm satisfied with the choice of clothes I'll start increasing the maximum size little by little.

And finally, for now Emma is the only one that can visit. Keep in mind this is a work in progress, it still lacks a lot of content.

i've tried damn near anything to spur emma's feeder dialog but only one choice has come up, and it did effectively nothing

am i missing something or am i just dumb?

(+1)

Not dumb ; it's not explained anywhere in game. You just need to invite Emma and stuff yourself in front of her, then rinse and repeat.

One of the NPC I'm working on will give a few hints on how to progress certain characters' events.

whenever I open the application, it says "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

The game needs access to your AppData/Local/ folder to read and write save files, make sure this is the case.

(-2)

This bricked my computer.

I'm sorry to hear you're having issues with your computer, but it is very unlikely to come from a game made with Game Maker. The only way for a program to brick a computer is for it to mess with your computer's firmware, which Game Maker games are not capable of. Whatever broke your computer, there's practically no chances for it to be the game itself.

Yeah no, i downloaded this, and then the very next time i start my computer up, it blue screened.  That's awfully convenient,

Again, chances this comes from a Game Maker game are close to none, especially if the game wasn't even running when you encountered the error.

Do you have the name of the error showing on the screen? BSODs can come from a myriad of reasons.

you should make a version that works for chromebooks

Isn't ChromeOS based on Linux? If so, shouldn't the Linux version work? If it doesn't, there is nothing I can do as the Game Maker license I'm using only allows me to build for Linux, Windows and Mac.

For Mac, I'll need to look into it. Can't guarantee it'll happen, but I'll consider it.

you should make a version that works for apple products 

also, i might just be stupid, but how do i feed jenny, and does feeding emma result in anything? and who is the Loraine mentioned in the debug menu?

(+1)

You are not stupid! I still need to add a tutorial on how interactions between characters work.

Regarding feeding NPCs, there are two things to consider. When you give them food, they will not eat it right away. However, giving them food they like will increase their friendship, and they will have gained a bit of weight on the following day.

However, when you become friend with said NPC, you may unlock the option to invite them over. When you invite a character, the rules are a bit different ; the food you give them will not increase their friendship level, but they will eat it. So you can stuff them and make them gain weight faster. NPCs you invite may also react to your character being fed.

For now, the only NPC you can really interact with is Emma. But in the next update I'll start introducing a few more characters (including Loraine) and giving Jenny a few more dialogues, events and ways to interact with her.

my character is severely depressed. how do i help this?

Feed her something she likes, or wait a few days.

irl days?

irl days.

😔

Really liking this game so far!

i downloaded the graphics resource pack,what do i do with it? or more importantly where do i put it?

(1 edit)

You do whatever you want and put it wherever you want. It's not an extra add-on or anything, it's just all the assets I made to build the character's sprites.

If you want to use them and/or alter them for your own projects, I'm cool with it. But don't forget to mention the source material comes from Debucon, it'll be appreciated.

the reason im asking so much is because i want digging and found a dialog tree for emma being a feedee

(1 edit)

Ah yes, the bedroom files, right? It's mostly a leftover from early tests. I didn't really know what to do with her yet, but in the end I went with the feeder path and abandoned the feedee path. I guess I forgot to take those dialogs out.

Keep looking for stuff in the game files. It's too early right now and I have other priorities, but I'm definitely going to hide secrets and whatnot everywhere once the game is a bit more complete.

but there will be other characters who like being fed?

Oh yes, that is for sure. There will be more NPCs each with their own personality, some of them will be more feedee-oriented.

Oh and also is there a way for her to like being stuffed?

Nope, you'll always get the same reaction from feeding her.

oh and how many times does it take to make her your feedee?, can you do both these paths at the same time?

What do you have to do for emma to become your feedee?

Emma can't become your feedee, only your feeder.

Do you plan on making that an option in the future?

Not Emma specifically, but other characters will have that option.

The game will also be easily modable and I will provide tools to create custom dialogues and events.

so emma will never be able to become your feedee?

I don't plan on giving her a feedee path. But who knows, maybe I'll feel inspired to, someday?

Do we have to interact with Emma in three different IRL days or In game days?

The game plays in real time, in game days are IRL days.

i see

how do you get emma to gain weight?

Gifting her food will make her gain weight, even though a bit slowly. Inviting her over and feeding her also works and is a bit faster.

thanks, merry Christmas, or marry hannaka

Thank you, same to you!

Ok so first, the idea of a game like this is awesome !

Then IDK why but the other night I dream about this game with "weird things"(I use that word to describe how confused I was whe I woke up), I write everything I remembered and IDK if it can helps in any way and it will be just a blurry mix with some explanation(yea I tried to understand my dream with the different fetishes xD) :

There was a new map I think it was like THE food factory of the game even water / juice bottles / beer are made here,  a new character was here too.

I think it was like a manager or something like this, there was a new mini game to earn money and I failed so the manager punished my character by force feeding with a machine.

Then IDK how my brain was able to think of this, but there was a "back" sprite of my character and sometimes the punishement was with water in the other holes.

In the end my character was failing everytime and tried to invite Emma to go out at the factory then nothing but I guess I can imagine what happens...

What a fcked up dream but there it is, I had to talk about this I was so confused and maybe it can help in a way.

Edit : Oh after checking my piece of paper, the manager had a "dominant personality" and I had a glimpse where the roles are inverted for the punishement, well now that's all, good luck with the development of your game !

(+2)

That's some secret quest material.

I think you should add more weight size's and you should add a few fast food places like the macdonalds (mcdonalds but its different for copy write reasons)

and a few more places, you should also add the back yard and front yard and like you can put burgers together to make a burger pack or you can put pizza pieces together in cooking and make a pizza

(1 edit) (+1)

More sizes are planned, but not immediately. There are other features I want to work on first. There will also be more places including a fast food joint and an all-you-can-eat buffet.

There are no plans to combine foods of the same type together into a stack for now. But I may implement a stacking mechanic to feed your character multiple items at once. I'll think about it.

(+1)

Thanks, I think you should also add more clothes for the character but you have to buy them like pants and shirts

(+1)

Yeah, that's also already planned.

but you also have to buy the right size other wise it will just start ripping and looks like it till it fully rips off

You were looking for writing help- and I'd love to pitch in the creative juices ive got- where can we talk?

(1 edit)

Sure! Send me a message on Discord, my username over there is Kopp'R'Фld'S#6356.

That didnt work- have you changed it? And, of course, sorry for being gone there! I was out for the holidays with family!

No problem, real life comes first.

I haven't changed my username, it's still the same as what I gave you.

Really sorry it took me SO long to get that sent in, got busy for a while, but I'd be more than happy to help! I'm Sunward on there!
