Thank you! Please do not cry.

I'm continuing to work on stuff. Hopefully the next update will be out before the end of the year. 

I don't know I guess you can cry if you want. It's healthy to express your emotions

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it! 

Currently implementing some stuff wrt difficulty. Hopefully will be slightly smoother. I've been wanting to add more melee combos for a while, not sure if I'll do a wall jump or a dash but those are both interesting ideas! 

Debug mode has been requested enough that I am probably doing it. I think I'd like to get everything implemented in normal gameplay first, though. Energy is probably going to remain capped at 100%, but I can confirm that I'm adding a bigger max size.

I have no idea how long it will take, unfortunately, but I'm just putting the finishing touches on the new features I wanted to add. Next step is actually making the level, which might take a while. A ton of stuff has happened in my life during this dev cycle, so I haven't been able to work on it as consistently. It would be awesome if I could get this out before the end of the year.

That's fair! Maybe it's unsettling that they're more realistic when the overall vibe of everything else is more stylized/cartoony.

I did reference some actual orca eyeballs for the design, which also have a bit of an uncanny valley humanlike quality to them. So, in that way I would say this is an intentional effect :)

Would you like to elaborate on what is weird about the eyes?

Like the plane?

That was gonna be my second suggestion! Also not very well telegraphed. Sorry I was unhelpful

It sounds like you might just need to use the keycard reader for the pod bay, you should already have the security keycard. There currently isn't any way to tell what items you have so it can be hard to figure out.

That sucks! I'm glad you've been enjoying it thus far. Where are you at in level 3?

That sucks! Did you extract the files from the .7z archive?

Definitely happening eventually! I'm adding a lot of stuff and a lot of things are happening in my life outside of gamedev right now. Still working on this pretty steadily, though.

Didn't come off that way, sincerely :) thanks for enjoying my game!

I'm not sure! It might be a while, I want to add a lot of stuff and a lot of stuff is happening in my life right now. I'm definitely still working on this, though.

Thanks!!

I've definitely been considering some alternative means of locomotion. It seems kind of difficult to implement rolling, but that was also true of the fluid system... we'll see what happens!

Thanks! The exterior area is just a little atmospheric easter egg, it's not necessary for progression. It might not be obvious that you're supposed to hover across the wide gap in the big room with the tanks, since that's the first time you're required to do something like that.

Working on it! It's probably going to take a while.

Thanks!!

WRT shrimps: I guess it's pretty hard to make a flying enemy that isn't annoying. I sort of feel like it's a valid ecological niche, but also they could use a little something nerf-y. I might try and improve the anti-air melee game a bit.

And as the levels are getting more complex some kind of hint/objective system is probably warranted. Ideally also a map although that seems pretty difficult.

It's possible to miss a couple globules of biofuel since there are so many of them, and they can also spawn inside walls (which wouldn't make them impossible to pick up, but would make them impossible to see). I forgot to fix this by changing the drop to a single large pickup before release, which I'm going to do now!

I've been thinking about adding a task system or a map of some kind, I'm not sure exactly what form it would take but it's a good idea.

I've definitely made my contributions to the culture. I'm choosing to believe that you aren't negging me on my fat fetish furry visual novel itch.io page.

Thanks!! This is one of my favorite finished projects. GOTY edition is gonna have "a very fun mess" as a quote on boxart. I have some ideas for a sequel but it would be a few projects away (probably a long time). If you join the GGDX speedrunning community its size will increase by 50%!

I'd prefer that you didn't! The unused assets & systems in the current release are unfinished and will most likely be different in the final build. I'd rather keep the new systems a surprise & not share the half-baked stuff before it's ready. Thanks for asking.

Thanks! When playing the first level with no suit you're supposed to do a mid-air tail spin to get up there, which I am now realizing is pretty non-obvious. I should probably add a pop-up or an extra platform or something. I remembered to make the second level beatable with no suit, at least.

I'm still hoping to get 0.3 out by the end of the year. I've had a lot of personal problems that prevented me from working on it very much, so there's still a lot to do. Thanks for your patience!

Thanks! It's true there's not much in the way of a movement tutorial. Hopefully any future required platforming isn't too crazy.

In the 90s shooters this game is inspired by the cover system is "standing behind something", it's kind of grandfathered in. I've thought about making a more modern cover-based shooter before, but that's probably not the direction this project is going to go in. Will probably explore more size-related disadvantages though!

This is great! I love these characters. Pages are dense with quality smut while being quite compact. Your grasp on the mechanics of fat & gravity in a variety of positions continues to be inspiring. And HOLY SHIT that is a good ending!!

Thanks!

I'll look into implementing something like this, I might end up adding a single blending value for the lead-in to melee attacks so I don't have to add a curve to every animation.

Thanks! I think I can probably make the code enemies use to search for cover more efficient, and I recently realized the SMG & pistol models (which I made several years ago) have way too many polygons for some of the most numerous weapons. 

I'm also going to look into adding bespoke options for the individual graphical settings, but until then lowering the quality present and/or resolution might help.

Larger sizes are happening in future updates, I don't think I'm going to add boob & butt sliders. I disagree that the energy levels are too small, that's... why I designed the game like that. Thanks for donating.

You have more momentum at higher energy. I think reducing movement speed generally feels pretty bad for most games, but especially action shooters.

Melee damage and damage reduction both increase as energy increases. It might be a bit subtle before 100%, though.

It might be a while. I'm working on adding a lot of stuff, and the pace has slowed a little bit. I will also be working on an entry for the WeightGaming game jam this month so that'll put a bit of a dent in it, although at least there will be another game to show for it. There will definitely be an update by the end of the year, unless something goes terribly wrong.

I went back and checked the game code, it turns out it counts it as completed even if you ran out of time, which was... an interesting choice. I probably was going to remove the time limit and forgot about it. There's also no way to play it again after beating it (which happens no matter what), which is a bit of an oversight. Anyway, it doesn't give stars or record a clear time, so other than the sequence itself and the preceding cutscene you wouldn't be missing out on anything.

I compressed it using 7zip. You need to download 7zip (or WinRar or another archival utility) and extract the files, then you should be able to run the .exe.

I'm probably going to do something similar to both of these things, I don't know if they'll be in the next update though.

I did realize this, if playing with no suit the level is slightly altered to make it possible to complete.

That's definitely the cause, I forgot to fix this. Just uploaded a version that replaces the particles with a mesh, which should solve the frame rate issue there,

I'm working on adding new enemies, probably no traps and/or mechanisms. I've considered implementing higher weight levels if that's what you mean by "second stage", but I'm not sure if it would work.

I've been banning you for spam. I am still working on this, I'm a real person and have other obligations in my life. Please be patient.

This is interesting! I might add something like this.

That's the maximum in the first level, yep. There's some secret stuff but not any extra energy.

Hopefully slightly sooner than that, depending on how much time I have to work on it!

0.2 will have more weapons and a couple new enemies, and for the next one I'll try to develop more brand new stuff.

I'm not sure about new playable characters, it's possible that I could add alternate skins or something once more of the game is completed.
