Review.
The game has tons of potential.
The writing needs work and I'd hope this first part gets a major face lift.
1. Chad (PLEASE change the name)/MC. Chad needs major work. Her motives toward MC are less clear and at times it doesn't make sense. That said the conceit is excellent. Chad needs a goal, personality lift, and a rethink of her mechanics a little bit. Does she hate MC? is she a possessive Bully who secretly NEEDS MC as a focal point of identity? I'd argue chad needs her baseline personality, dominant personality as she loses it a little driving for goddess hood, and submissive personality as she BREAKS.
2. The routes need rethinking. You have dominant and normal, it should be bifurcated into dominant and submissive. One is about MC outgrowing to the increasing dismay and helplessness of Chad. The climax is Chad frustrated unable to feel big. Chad's growth should only occur if she can feel like an ALPHA, rather than the giantification that she gets in both routes. This distinguishes, improves playability, and most importantly is coherent.
3. Consequence. Chad currently disappears. For me at least, rather than Pearl's broken but cool entries or Candi being put into things, the chapter needs chad's skeleton. Chad should be done, either going toward a dominant goddess or submissive to MC. From there once a week she reappears, like pearl does except instead of demanding serum, MC has consequence. If goddess Chad won, she takes your money, forces you to spend Thursday getting fucked by her and this costs. you a day and cash, real consequences. Conversely, sub chad is optional, you can even choose to steal size or demand tribute from her. It'd be something that could be fleshed out at leisure once the skeleton of the mechanic is established with it and events being things that can be added in at will when there's a lull.
anyway, I hope there's a brush over of chapter 1 on this stuff. Don't get discouraged.
Viewing post in OutGrow - a Giantess and expansion game comments
1: Yeah, I do that on purpose out of principle toward my labor and how I value it, even if it means fewer people get to experience it.
You could consider OutGrow a half-endorsed demo, if you wish, since it was built off my game and permitted by me, even if it initially didn't have my explicit permission and feigned originality.
2: Sure, but the initial concept was meant to favor giant couples, not just giantesses. My earliest concept, after all, only focused on the player character (male) and partner character (female) having a dynamic cooperative-competitive growing relationship, before it evolved to include external meddling like in the form of Chad and Stacy, and such.
1. That's fine, but don't be upset I don't really seem too interested. You're pushing me to try something I looked at and found unappealing. Way too much investment for something that even crosses into areas that disgust me.
As to your sub part, You should just fully endorse it then? Mostly seems counter productive to waffle. That's just me though, really just left my impressions since I had fun.
2. Okay, that sounds different than this. Female/male etc. I understand, I've played Ascension way back and had thoroughly forgotten about it when I came across this. I understand your concept and the evolutionary connection, but this is a mod.
I understand you're doing this contrarian thing partly given you misunderstood the situation at hand.
There aren’t many situations where someone takes another developer's code and concepts, modifies it, and monetizes it and expects everything to be hunkydory.
But I am merciful in that regard, and I am just wanting to put it on the record that your concerns are derived from my original work being modified to make OutGrow.
Okay, I'm not 'contrarian', I'm pointing out it's exhausting to have you not just pick a lane or pour contempt on people enjoying something.
You still haven't explained what, if any, answer to how Chad, the female character here and male in your game used for what I think was an exploration of maledom/masculinity, defined in your version and explained to be one for one. Unless your Chad's secretly Yaoi for your male MC in lab of gods?
I don't think you did though, especially not up to A.3. As Chad's whole purpose is to provide the excuse to go from Serums → Super Serums → Permanent Growth Machines → Hyper Growth Machines → etc., given he serves as a rival to the lab's scientific growth. With everything else being comedy with him.
Also, what's with the whole using your alt accounts to downvote– upvote? Don't you think that's kinda childish?
