Goddess Maker is planned to have a route to a new game section called "Nanoscale of Perspective" on the condition that the player character shrinks to under 1 inch in "Lab of God" and thus gravitates onto the partner character's body as he perpetually shrinks down to 1 quectometer in height. Not sure if it's the mod developer's plan to copy it like with "Lab of God", but unlikely given the source material hasn't been initially developed by me yet.

A wrote some more information about it in this Q&A I had:

Thank you.

Yeah, I was being mean-spirited, but I take the position that I don't like AI being used in art, games, and the like.

So it's ideological rather than a personal attack, if you would accept the difference of my offense.

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?

You seem like someone who would like to read about my thought process on how I programmed the mechanics.

I care for quality games, so I'm performing primarily a supervising role, so in time the experience is better.

I never intended for OutGrow so it is a distraction, but it's not a big impediment on Goddess EX's current development.

You like OutGrow. I made OutGrow as a co-developer. I appreciate that you like my work.

So let's just stop this whole "assumption" shtick between the two of us, because without the context of playing Goddess Maker, in its original form unmodded, explaining is futile for me to do.

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.

Don't worry, I'm sure you can turn your life around by reflecting to grow as a person.

I just find it to be low effort and degrading of one's character.

The situation revolving around OutGrow is just pitiful, and I am ashamed for the society that incentivizes people to take shortcuts like this to earn something of an income.

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.

You should do a playthrough of the current build of Goddess Maker "Lab of God" sometime, as I feel that'll help you reach answers to a lot of your concerns, especially concerning Chad's character growth arc.

It's my work, though. I even made a post about it:

Given it took only a month of development to fork Goddess Maker's code and mod/add the new content using AI, you could expect a new big update released every other week.

As it's just a matter of telling the AI to generate stuff and publishing it.

There’s Goddess Maker, if you want to play the game this mod is based on.

Ah, it still makes me laugh that so many AI visuals could be generated based on Goddess Maker’s Partner Character (“Allia”)’s initial character sprite, especially as I intended that specific form to be her ugliest in lieu of her paced transition toward becoming an omnipotent goddess, which can have the player character mold her towards looking like a beautiful princess or even a fun big-tiddy tomboy.

If the code is based on the first phase of Freda’s Growth Obsession arc in Goddess Maker, in which she uses the lab’s debt as leverage in order to coerce the lab to make her bigger, then I assume the mechanic is to hold a number of height serums and/or super height serums in stock prior to reaching the day.

I don’t know if the reservation mechanic was translated to this fan mod, as that would help in allotting what the lab sets aside for Freda and what the lab keeps to sell and for personal use/experimentation.

Thanks.

If we're talking Goddess Maker proper, not OutGrow, the fan mod of Goddess Maker that uses AI Art assets, then yeah, there's plenty of Berserk-inspirations, though I'm not a big fan of the visual ”vulgar to disgust someone" elements; instead, I like to include the "existential struggle against the ever-omnipotent being elements,” focusing both on a personal will-to-power as well as a will-to-power coming from someone in opposition to the player.

Nevertheless, there is plenty of Kafkaesque nightmare fuel planned.

There’s Goddess Maker if you want to play more, but Chad’s a dude in that one.

For myself in particular, given my "contribution" to the game, it was interesting to see what Goddess Maker's Allia, Celine, and Freda characters would look like when run into an AI generation model that transforms them in stages based on their first form.

Freda in particular is amusing because she was not intended to keep her shrimp form as she ascends, but rather be all sexy and busty in a crime boss kimono, paralleling somewhat to her younger sister, Marissa’s, body.

Well it's built on a good foundation, my foundation...

Given all the comments of bad writing, it’s making me feel a sort of parental obligation that I should rewrite it myself since pretty much everything else apart from the AI art assets is my work.

A counterfeit Goddess Maker should at least be competent to read, even if it does take shortcuts, especially as this diverging project remains associated with my own.

So my offer of reconciliation is you let me handle the coding and writing, and you can develop the art coinciding with the plot structure you have in mind.

It'll probably be for the best to play to our strengths.
