RogueWeight [Jam Edition]

I see the author still replying to comments semi-regularly, so I'd like to make this appeal:

Please continue the development of this game.

Games of this kind tend to be less games and more interactive fetish content.  Any gameplay they have is simple at best, and practically vestigial at worst.  Seeing a game that actually integrates the fetish content into gameplay refreshing and disappointingly rare.

What isn't rare among such games is an abortive development.  Good or bad, the more ambitious ones usually seem to fizzle out after a few updates.  I see signs that this game could be headed in the same direction, and that's a shame given the potential it has.

It's going to take a lot of development, content additions, and tweaks to become a finished product, and let's face it, it's not going to be the next Undertale if only because of its subject matter, but the fundamentals are solid.  All it needs to succeed is the one thing these kinds of games rarely get: a long term commitment from its developer.

As for specific suggestions, like I said the fundamentals are solid.  What the game needs more than anything is more content.

One big change I would make is thus: upon completing a level, Erith loses all the weight she gained, but she retains her skills (base HP, FD, DMG, DEF,  etc).  Furthermore, add a stamina bar.  At base weight, Erith can move as much as she wants without draining stamina.  At higher weights, she needs stamina to move and must stand still to refill it.  Perhaps tie other stats to weight as well, such as increased HP.

This makes the player balance the risk of getting run down by enemies with the reward of more food (xp).  As it stands, even if you get stunlocked by cakes and bashed from every other side by food, as long as you can sprint to the sack you're fine.  There's no reason to not go back and forth to the sack clearing out every level 100%.

With these changes, a player needs to balance the long term need to get xp for the upcoming levels with the immediate need to get out of the one they're in now.  Of course, the amount of "loot" in each level increases with each one, increasing both the risks and the rewards.

mmmm i LOVE eating drywall <3

I have a favor to ask of you, please Yunyanite don't give up the game, improve it so that it can be played fully, please add the ability to voluntarily finish a stage and mode nsfw with the ability to use any emotions, right up to the ability to jerk off and at the same time the character will make moans and sounds, variations of dungeons and so that they are on the whole map and not on half 😅,And the ending is expanded, you can reach another dungeon and meet new opponents there, it would be great if human girls appeared which could use various toys on you in mode and you can eat them or recruit them and go through the game and endless dungeons with them,in the future:your own house with the possibility of customization using found clothes and hats,change of hairstyles and hair color, the possibility of breast enlargement at your own discretion, as well as the buttocks or abdomen etc,but after completing the dungeon we go to the city which can be developed with the help of materials and resources from the dungeons, complete daily missions, a store with food and potions and the opportunity arrangement and improvement of your home, a tavern where you can meet both ordinary people and adventurers,the game can be turned into not just a game with perversions but a full-fledged roguelike with RPG elements ,but that's later

and I noticed some bug

and another problem is strong lags in the endless dungeon,at least on the phone, haven't tested it on the PC yet

How do access endless mode. I'm a mobile player btw

That was fun, I wonder what the next update will be about!

...having a fake sack that attacks you is pure evil.

Will this be updated? 

Can you add digestion over time because there is one room with like 30 enemies estimate and it is practically impossible without eating the enemies

Question, what does the "Milk probably" do? Is it just a fun lil item that fills 10 FD? Or is there something that i missed...?

Wow, I like the game, its idea and the style itself, I hope in the future there will also be dungeons where you can fight and get fucked, you will be able to dress up the character in clothes and much more, the game has potential, I hope they don't abandon it....well, or at least some they will add a gallery where you can just fuck her and give clothes and switch modes NSFW,SFW,I have a lot of ideas but I'm not going to rush you:unique and random generation of dungeons and caves with food generation, mechanics Vore-the ability to eat opponents but the opponent could also eat you and you had to get out as early as possible before you get damaged or get digested, you can also feed the enemy so that he gets fat 😆,also could play after defeating the enemy sex scenes, just wish this game had that please🙏🥺,and much more, I will be very glad if you pay attention and read my message, much is not needed ,, I liked the game and completed it completely, it's just a pity it's short, overall 👍

will there be a sandbox or a cheat menu soon?

Kinda too rng...

Can you fix the glitch  erith on mobile?

I really like this game. I think it has the highest potential out of all weight-gain games on itch.io. The only thing this game needs now is time for all the ideas. I tried the game first on mobile, found it a bit buggy and hard, then finished it on pc. After I played on one save over a long time I made Erith massive, and then proceeded to make her eat the entire map as she was gigantic while having the rubik's cube skin.

Here's the screenshot I took. 

After that I accidentally erased that savefile. But then I downloaded version 1.1 and started saving my games in a special folder. Then I started to find the endless dungeons to be a bit dull, so I started to check the code of the of the savefile.

Here's a portion of the savefile code in notepad++.

Eventually I started to wonder how I could change the values inside the game. I found the code segment above which actually contained almost everything about Erith. Her clothing, hp, food status and all other stats. To try and manipulate the code I started to compare savefiles and figured our that all the odd characters were numbers in ASCII which could be translated into hexadecimals. From there I compiled a small list of the different variables values and found out how to set their values to a specific number. 

Here's the list i compiled in notepad.

And eventually I was able to give Erith more hunger points, but not manually increase her weight. So what I did was open a new savefile with a few million hunger points and made her eat to a point which I found her weight to be good enough. Here is her on the edited savefile.

This game is great. The only thing I'm thinking of is how she is able to be so big and still be so nimble in the tight corridors of the dungeon. Really, I don't think I have any right to say which direction this game should go, but I think that as she gets bigger she'll run into problems of size. She should get stuck and take up more spaces as she gets bigger. But as this is an 2d game I'd figure that it might not be totally easy to do in any scenario and might need alot of changes in how the game is coded. Honestly I think as this game is quite young you could look into making it 3d, but only if you think you could manage it. Otherwise, everything is great. And make sure to really take your time with this project, I would love to see more on this, but I can understand some of the limits of this game.

How many floors are there if you don't go through the endless floors

ll

can you make custom level cuz I love it so make

um, is this normal? is it because my smartphone?
