Grope That Fox!

I'm slowly padding the foxes out with features, like improved bra visuals, jiggle, additional minigames, more math, better math, rewriting all the math because ugh it was close but ever so slightly wrong, and typing up log messages and upgrades oh my.

I don't really like posting unfinished updates to the general public. I could see that this was a large project and I really liked what I had done so far, so I went ahead and posted the first two updates, but I'm entering a span where everything I do make will look and feel horribly unfinished . Not the level of quality I want to make the face of my creation, even if it is marginally more content than the last update.

However, I am posting occasional beta versions on the discord servers I'm on. Possmonaut's server, TsukoEX's server, and the Extreme Breast Expansion server are the main three, and I'll occasionally toss out a demo of whatever I happen to have done every once in a while. It's a lot less hassle and it's a lot less stress than doing it through itch.io.

Also, saves aren't cross-compatible between versions so I don't want to introduce the upgrade system to the public version until it's completely finished (bugfixes notwithstanding).

I have been making less progress than before, as finals week has been coming up and ough I gotta balance the upgrades. I cannot give any honest assessment of when you could expect another update. It is coming, though, rest assured.

Hoping for a side view in the future

That is. Very strange. People have exceeded the bit limit, and while it of course breaks, it hasn't broken that way.

By chance, have you enabled cookies for that site? Twine does... something with cookies when played in-browser and I bet that could be one potential thing that could've gone wrong.

Unless you exceeded the bit limit for more than is a reasonable amount of time and that was the result?

I've got upgrades that'll speed up the growth and provide passive growth, but moods... I suppose they'd have to be events? Events that appear at random intervals with random effects.

Maybe something like the golden cookie in cookie clicker where it appears for a short time and gives you a temporary bonus. Perhaps if you let it expire, you get a debuff instead.

...I'll consider it. I don't want the game to get too complex. At least, not at too fast a pace. Unlocking them via an upgrade later on seems perfectly viable.

For specific foxes, because the prestige hinges upon the upgrade system, I don't want to give random chances to have a much easier or harder times grinding out the next upgrade due to the specific fox's disposition.

(also here is my previous record)

Yeah, I'm already using that for a few things, like the squish.
y = n - (n-1)/x {1<x<inf}.
When X is 1, Y is 1, but as X increases, y gets closer and closer to n without ever reaching it. It's good when it needs to always perpetually increase the more you interact with it, but still need to have a hard maximum otherwise it'll look strange.

As for using that to handle floating points, it's not possible. At least, not the way I'm handling it. 1.7e308 is, give or take, the maximum value for a variable I use, but the problem with that is this means that I can never, in any function, ever exceed that number. I can't exceed it, detect that I've exceeded it, then divide it by some value, because the exact moment it exceeds that value, it becomes infinity and there's no reclaiming my original number anymore.

I'll probably end up just having it detect if the value is infinity, in which case it'll display the largest fox it can without letting it grow anymore.

Log messages are something I'm planning to add in the box that currently has the buttons in them; short little bits of lore and fluff that make the world seem a little more alive. The upgrade system, as well, is all going to have unique descriptions. Going to a restaurant, though, is a very neat idea, and I'll be sure to include that a time or two.

I did like random renamon boob clicker x, but that's mostly because it visually displayed particularly large sizes. Nothing else does that. Except now :)

It already does go faster the longer you go on; finding a new fox to grope will reset the size but increase how powerful your groping is. It's still a prototype, so the exact mechanism does, uh... exponentiate, after a bit, and the end of the game as of right now is the bit limit.

That is beautiful.

I'm thinking of adding some accessibility settings;  the ability to click rather than drag, different colors for those who want them, the ability to switch to a kemonomimi rather than a furry, metric units, the works.

...And a bra, and a better method of upgrading than just a prestige mechanic that gets a little too exponential in its growth.
...And a zoom feature. And the ability to adjust the line thickness for those with weird computers.

Again, this was just a prototype.
Here's a newer one, as a reward :D

Those are some good ideas. I probably won't deal with any other parts, even though butt is certainly viable, because I believe in the concentration of kinks. A game with full focus on one thing as both the means and the end is highly focused and tends to be rather hot, whereas one that lets you go in fifteen different directions tends to lack depth and dilutes the horniness for me overall.

I'm thinking of using the "abilities" system some idle games like clicker heroes do, where it's additional things you can do with a cooldown. The one I've already implemented clothes the fox in question, decreasing growth while the bra is intact, but as you grope her she visibly squishes more and more against it until it snaps, making the fox grow twice as much as she would've otherwise. Like the Claustrobobia images on my FurAffinity gallery.

Gonna make a human head a setting, since that's about all it'll take to accomodate. Easy enough. And if they can't even stand animal ears and tail... well, too bad, I'm still the artist, author, designer, and programmer extraordinaire. I get to choose what to make.

I was thinking of making a character gallery to view foxes you've already grown.. A set of japanese syllables, two or three of which are selected at random to form a name like "kukiko" and hope that nothing that's generated is too offensive in the language. Shrinking is against my and the foxes' belief system, hence the new characters when you need a smaller one. Descriptions, moods, and personalities will take a lot more writing effort, but I'm sure I could slap something like that together.

I'll probably also add a creative mode, maybe unlocked by password or at the ending, where you can just customize the exact things you want on the fox rather than having to deal with a power rating that's too high and such. The power rating's something entirely temporary, by the way, I'm going to use a system of upgrades like I did in Yuri My Beloved.

Nevertheless, this is the most detailed response yet. If you send me your discord username, I can show you the bra prototype I've made. Not enough change for a new release, but enough to get feedback on from a few beta testers.

On mobile, just the slightest touch of your fingers is enough to cause the boobs to outgrow everything that ever was and ever will be, which is somewhat bad for the code. I haven't gotten around to fixing that.

The game's much better on PC.

You can.
