3rd annual Gain Jam Theme Vote
Good day everyone! With the 3rd annual Gain Jam coming up next week its time for us to start the vote for this years theme!
This year we plan at throw a curve ball to our participants so we have set the 3 themes around making the fetish mechanically relevant instead of just set dressing this year >:3c This means that fetish mechanics like weight gain or inflation must have some kind of impact on the actual game play of the game.
To go with this theme we have come up with 3 options:
1. Body Positive - This theme will require the fetish to provide a mechanically positive impact to the game play. For example maybe getting fat increases a health pool or inflation allows for limited flight.
2. Weighty Systems - This theme will require the fetish in the game to provide some impact to the game play. For example fattening an entity slows them down while if they loose weight they speed up.
3. Consequences - The fetish must provide some mechanically negative impact to the game. For example, gaining weight causes an entity to move slower or inflation results in loss of control of movement.
I will close the pool the night of 8/9.

I kinda hope we don't go with negative, I'm not necessarily a fan of weight loss mechanics in a fetish primarily focused in doing the opposite of that.
I'm no sadist, but I think a negative mechanic encourages devs to come up with more interesting challenges and motivations for characters.
True, but its also the most common as its easiest to setup negative mechanics for gaining weight. Its quite common to see devs slow the player down or restrict movement in some manner. For other expansion based fetishes though it is seen a bit less often.
