Hi, I'm Rollcake, creator of Hibiki's Weight Gain. HWG is a visual novel inspired by such works as Ayano's Weight Gain, centering on a small cast of characters who get fatter as the story progresses. HWG is a very slow-burn story that takes place over 3 years, aiming to be slower and more realistic than most WG stories and have solid attention to detail, fun characters who develop and grow (in a few senses in the word!) over time, and a generally light tone but with some minor drama here and there. Several people in Hibiki's life challenge her about her weight, and she'll have many other trials to overcome... But in the end, she's determined to meet her goals.

Meet the cast:

One more major character is planned but has no official artwork as of yet. You can see the programmer art version if you become a patron, however!

Production:

HWG is mid-development. The first draft of the script is essentially finished, and is over 300k words. Almost all of the core programming is done, and a playable demo is available (link below). The beautiful artwork in the game (Courtesy of SquishMeister) is the main thing that is still yet to be completed, but is moving along at a solid pace. Some other, less important things are still not finished as of yet (The backgrounds and music are placeholders for now, taken from google images and various places), but will be ironed out as time goes by. With your support, I'm hoping to get some excellent music and backgrounds to match the core artwork, but we have contingency plans if goals are not met.

HWG is not just another wishy-washy project. I am an experienced visual novel developer and programmer, although due to personal reasons, I would prefer to keep my "real" identity a secret.You should also know that I am planning to release HWG as a commercial game, so I am very heavily incentivised to actually finish it. Not only that, but if things go well, I want to make many more games like it in the future, potentially even branching out into games with gameplay. I wanted to start with something nice and simple first though, to test the waters and see if this kind of thing can be viable. I really hope it will be! I have a lot of ideas for other weight gain games. In other words, this is a patreon for my studio, not just HWG.

Why become a patron?

There are many reasons. For us, my current budget is barely enough to even cover the cost of sprites and CGs, so without any outside assistance, the game will probably have to have poor music and edited photos for backgrounds, possibly AI instead if people would prefer that. Having some extra money would help me give the game the polish it deserves, allow me to expand some scenes and concepts I have planned, possibly translate the game into other languages, and potentially give me and my artist the confidence to go all-in on the project at the expense of our day jobs.

For you, you will gain access to "advance" versions of the game, being able to read ahead much further, although sadly these parts have bad programmer art instead of real art(Sort of a "ONE One Punch Man vs Murata One Punch Man" situation). More importantly, long-time patrons will receive a free copy when the game ships, you will be able to give me feedback more directly, and there will be a patron-only "lewd patch" of the game with extra scenes and artwork that may be a bit too spicy for the regular Itch and Steam versions. Your support will also be greatly appreciated!
