December Base Touching (Patreon)

Happy Holidays everyone! I hope that this busy time of year is treating you all well! I have a couple of things that I want to talk about so lets get into it!

First of all, I assume many of you here are familiar with the Weight Gaming Forum but if you aren't it is a site that acts as a hive of game development, discussion, networking and promotion of this niche topic that I assume many of you are fans of if you like what I do. It is where Big Aspirations got its start and I would not be in the position that I am in without its existence. I bring this up because the site has hit hard times, the owner has expressed that the costs of maintaining the site in the face of the expenses of the modern world and the uncertainty of it all has made him consider making some drastic changes that I personally think would be for the worse.

Long story short, the community is trying to band together in an attempt to bring the funds necessary to keep the site up and running. If you have the interest and the means to do so, please consider offering some assistance to the cause. You can find more info about what I am talking about, along with a link to the Weight Gaming Patreon, here:

Now with that out of the way, lets move on to what I have been working on, and mostly it continues to be artwork for the upcoming Flarea Gains Redux. The game is smaller in size that BA, but the amount of images is a similar density. I do want to talk about what you can expect out of the game and what changes I have made to it in comparison to the original, as well as including some more images that I have made to show how it is coming along.

The original Flarea Gains had a very simple premise, the main character wanted to win the affections of a woman who would frequent the café that she worked at, and this was accomplished by getting fatter. There were a few extra things to do, such as perusing a route where a wolf woman teaches you how to hunt, or getting the owner of the magic shop to teach you how to cast a spell that would make women's chests bigger. I decided to flesh out all of these ideas as well as to do more, and my solution was to give the player multiple different paths with which you could take Flarea down that all have a unique story to tell.

So what that means is that the game has 5 different paths that you can take that all diverge fairly early into the game, with unique art, weight stages, and character interactions. Which means lots of pieces of art for me to draw. Hence the amount of time it is taking to get the game out. BUT, I am making decent progress and I make the effort to get some drawing done everyday. I unfortunately can't give an exact time frame for when the game will be done, but I would wager on it being in the early months of 2026 if I were to guess.

Anyway here are a few images for now:

As for other projects, the card game that is being worked on in conjunction with Bun and Lucyheartfeelya, is fully back into the swing of things, coding is being put into place, art is being made, and many bugs are being squashed. We are beginning talks of what all needs to be done to get the game out to the public, and while the list of this is still pretty long, the fact that we are at that point at all has me pretty excited. Once we are closer to the release of that game I will go into more detail, but for now, know that it is trucking along.

Lastly, lets talk about commissions.

There were quite a few pieces that came out last month. Aqua becoming a fat cow by Tsyukiarts, the delayed Diane comic by Thatsmy4rt, the Tiffany during the dessert event piece by KageyRagey, another entry into the character sheet line by Plumpchu, and a special Thanksgiving piece staring a greedy Beth by a new artist to the Patreon, Natan055. I am extremely happy with how all of them turned out, and it makes me happy that I am able to work alongside so many talented people in order to bring this art to life for you all.

This month we have a few more pieces as well. Firstly there are the two pieces that were the winners of last months poll. Madison came in out of nowhere to dominate the character poll with the theme of her becoming the cafe's waste disposal system. I was so impressed with Natan055's work on the Beth piece that I decided to bring him back for this one, his process is a bit more time consuming however, so I am swapping the release date of this 4 part sequence with the Large Meal Patron commission. So expect to see this begin on the 22nd.

Speaking of the Large Meal commission, we funnily enough got a request for a Thanksgiving feast with the girls from the Curio. Since I had just put out a thanksgiving piece it was interesting to try and come up with a slightly different feel, but with the strong personalities of Nichole, Francis, and Fiona, it was fun to write up. You can expect this 3 part sequence to start coming out on the 15th, by the booty loving MorbidlyAvearge.

I also have a few extra pieces in line for the holidays, but I am going to keep those ones more of a secret until they release, hehehe.

Aaaaaand that's it. Bit more to say this month than last, which I will take as a good sign. And I hope you all do as well. Thank you once again for being here and helping me to work on all of this stuff for you. It has been a wonderful year and I look forward to doing it again in 2026!
