Virtual Gainer 2
BIG UPDATE!
Hey everyone!
I've been working hard on a new update and there are a lot of new stuff that I've added. Some of it might be unpopular so that's why I left the older version still downloadable.
The part I'm most interested in hearing your opinion is the dialogue. It's the first time I've done it and would really like to know if it's okay. If it sucks I can remove it and come up with something else.
I've added a shop so now you wont be able do directly buy from the upper bar
There's this room where you can adjust size with sliders. The access point is somewhere on the map. Hope you'll find it
The walking is a bit faster plus you're now able to eat while walking.
I've added a couple of clothes. And I know that the skirt is a bit messy, I'll fix it at some point.
There's a new way of earning money which I plan to have as the only source of income while the other minigames are just for fun but I removed the lifting minigame. Sorry :(
Anyways tell me what you think about the update. I wanna hear what you like, what you hate and everything in between. PS! This is probably going to be the last free update. I will always keep a free demo so you don't have to worry.

This is really good . It's not even fair how good this is. I'm playing on pc and you can definetly tell it wasn't originally made for it, but its so good I don't even care. I'll follow and donate happily as you release new versions as well as purchase the full release when it's ready keep up the great work!!!
Okay after playing it for a bit here's my thoughts:
I am extremely happy with the update, can't wait for the paid full release. On a personal note, although I do like that the ass gets bigger in this update compared to last, I do wish it could get even bigger, kinda like how the belly can get absurdly big. A body type customizer would be great too, but I know that'll probably be hard to add. I think we should also be able customize the height of the character. Ngl I'm actually kinda interested in the story (or dialogue) I'm a really big fan, and can't wait to see what the Founder looks like. As for the digestion system, I think it's perfect right now, I think any faster and it wouldn't make the game as fun. I think the shop is a great addition, and it does add some "balance" to the game. Lastly, the walking speed is great and the eating while walking mechanic is a perfect.
Ps: I do think that for the PC version there should be a setting to not use the drag and drop function. However, I would understand if you don't want to add it since you spent a lot of time working on the drag and drop function
My questions:
1) Are you planning to add audio
1.1) If you are planning to add audio, are burps a consideration?
1.2) If you are planning to add audio, (although I know a lot of people aren't into this) would farts also be a consideration?
2) Are you planning to add giggle physics? (Would be pretty cool to see the character giggling around)
3) Is adding a way to feed the other NPCs possible?
3.1) If feeding other NPCs is possible, could feeding the founder and letting them get to an absurd size be possible? (I would assume you would only be able to do this after you get to a certain size yourself)
Overall, I'm really liking your work, keep up the awesome job!!! I'll be waiting for the PC update. Please don't feel rushed, mental health is very important and you should look out for yourself
Hey,
Thank you so much for your thorough feedback. It helps me alot to improve the game. I'm happy that you like the changes I've made. All of them are based on my personal preference so it's good to know I can rely on my instinct.
The ass can actually already go absurdly big but I wanna hold back the max potenital so there's something to look forward to on the full release. Although I let you guys go nuts on the belly size just for the most hardcore players.
One thing I am not ever going to do is different body types. It is such a huge pain in the ass to make clothes that don't clip with any animation or any belly size or any ass size. I will never be able to completely get rid of clipping. the body type would just give me another variable to worry about. I am sorry.
Although I might add another NPC so out of curiosity, what kind of body type you feel like is underrepresented here? If you can give me some examples, I might work it into the game.
The shop is nice but it's still missing couple of features like buying in bulk and actually seeing how much stuff you have.
I'll probably remove the drag and drop for the PC beacause at the end of the day I want what's best for the experience.
Answers:
1. Yes I need to add the audio. I've just been too lazy to do it.
You're not the first person to ask for burps. I guess I can add them, wouldn't be too difficult, but by deafult they will be turned off. Just asking though, should the burps and farts be random or is it somehow related to feeding?
2. That sound really niche. I don't even know where to find the no-copyright sound effect.
3. Glad you asked that. I haven't planned for it (I mean they are already pretty big). But the fat[ter] version of each character already exists. I made them for fun without even planning to use them. I don't know how I'm even going to fit the big ones into the map if they already fill up most of the screen.
I have BIG plans for The Founder so you don't have to worry about that.
Thanks again for your feedback.
Happy to help anytime!!! As for the body types, I feel that you're still missing some more balanced "hour glass" bodies, and I guess a way to have a bigger bust on the character would be nice. (I did notice the slider for that already). Maybe a few different belly types, but I wouldn't know?
As for the audio, I think it should be a mixture of both random and related to feeding. By random, I mean like when you get bigger make the burps and farts random but also happen more often (I do think this would be hard to implement tho). In terms of feeding tho, I think it burps should happen when you eat, and farts when you digest. Maybe also make it so that when you eat it has a chance to do either or, like let's say candy has a 25%, burger 50%, bucket 75% and turkey 100%. That being said I do think that sound effects should be more of a paid release thing tho. (also didn't notice you already had sound in the game, it's really low and I just noticed it as I went back while writing this post)
I actually completely understand with the whole clipping thing it does look like a pain to manage, but if you think about it it makes sense that the bigger you get the less clothes would fit you XD XD. If I may request something tho, could you add a thong option as a clothing item, something like the underwear but it can't even cover the ass.
As for the npc thing and where to put them, I think it would be pretty cool to just have like a pig pen thing where you're able to feed them (or just one but make them massive). Also I do think it would be neat that in order to get access to the Founder you would have to "sweet talk" your way through Stacy 😉😉. That being said, the feeding of multiple characters might just stem from the fact that I do kinda miss being able to feed multiple people from Virtual Gainer 1
Oh and I forgot to include this in my original post, but I do think there are too many roofed areas in the game, but that might just be me thing and it's not even an issue at all. Also I noticed you added a day night cycle thing, I'm a big fan of that. Also I don't know how everyone feels about the clipping I don't mind it that much, I mean hell from what I've seen of other weight gain games, you've put in so much effort in your game it's not even funny. Like most weight gain games there are are just visual novels.
Finally, would you happen to have a Patreon/discord/Twitter that I may follow, I would love to show my support there too!!! Again amazing content as always.
Oh Right, I don't know why I haven't made a hourglass figure yet.
The sound effects are actually quite smple to implement.
I'll see what to do about the NPCs
I don't wanna deal with social media, it takes time to manage and the progress updates here are already a bit overwhelming. I just wanna make a game.
Having a clipping issue with the clothes, they just don't seem to work
NVM, I think it fixed itself when I closed and reopened the game
oh that's bad, umm I think the only way to fix it is if you delete the save. I'll look into this
Just an update on that, all I had to do was close and reopen the game. Don't think you have to look into it
Thank god
The slider room doesn't save my changes. I revert every time.
It isn't supposed to. It's just a part outside of the game to see how much have you gained
Oh i assumed it was a weight customizer. I mean it has muscle and breasts sliders so i figured it was so you could be extra bottom/top heavy ect
Is it gonna be on PC Soon? I know the older version is
I am working on a PC version already, but it's gonna take time, because I have to make a lot of changes.
For the last version I got twice as much PC downloads as I did for android so I definetly have to make one version for you guys aswell
Fixed it.
I'm really glad you like it. It means alot
