The Next Big Thing
A downloadable game for Windows
Follow the development and discussion over at Weight Gaming
Set in a world where belly-idols are constantly trying to eat more and grow larger, we follow the story of Amy and Emily as they set out to climb the stairs to stardom! The entertainment industry has found new ways to capitalize off of the growing figures of the general population through televising eating contests, casting actors with… larger bodies, and now with their latest endeavor, bringing talented belly-idols into the spotlight! Now, take part in the adventures of a duo hungry for fame and fortune in:
The Next Big Thing
Our story follows the adventures of Amy and Emily, who enroll in an academy specializing in teaching girls how to become belly-idols! Join them in their day-to-day life as they train to reach new heights and capacities in this bizarre career that has emerged from this new society!
Featuring rhythm-based battles, a rich story filled with stuffing and weight gain side quests, as well as a host of characters illustrated by artists such as Hero-After-Dark, baqua, and ee8k, there’s plenty more to come as the game continues to be updated!
-------------
Currently looking for artists! If you’d like to volunteer your services, that would be much appreciated! If you think that you can deliver work on a schedule (and have time slots available for a lot of assets) I’d also be more than happy to commission art from you!
This game is very much still in very early stages of development, and ideas for fleshing out the world such as side quests, locations, etc. would all be very helpful! I am but one person, and as much as I like to dream up new ideas, my imagination can only stretch so far lol
Please let me know what you think, every idea or criticism goes far in helping to develop and flesh out (pun intended) a game like this.
Cheers!

is this game abandoned?
The game black screened for me around when I slept before the "field trip." I can still use my menu and such. I'm guessing the game is still in the works, hopefully more comes soon, because I love what I did experience.

Hey are you still thinking of continuing this game? Understand you're doing this solo mostly so no rush just wondering.
I've got bug after end of coversation between MC and her mom (after her mom ate all 50 cupcakes) the game become uncontrollable i cant move or interract anything
I somehow broke it. No matter what I do, sleeping in the bed after finishing the conveyor belt class gives me a black screen, where I can bring up my pause menu and ONCE watched a TV, but I can't see and get no feedback
this game lacks stability sometimes freezes
It is made in standard RPG Maker MV, if it freezes for you then unfortunately it's an issue with your PC.
Hi! im happy to see that you still alive, all i want to say this game is a 10/10 :D
will there be an update?
bug: i walked to the market and accidently stop behind the column, after that there was the animation of going backwards but my characters was just walking into the column and they didn't exit out there
Will there be mobile versio
I have a suggestion. Why dont you keep the mom around as well?
If you eat 30 or more plates on the conveyor and then go to sleep its just pitch black
and if you dont it freezes on the spot apparently.
Damn! This story is great! I hope you're still making this! Amy's hot. (though she could use her mother's appetite. LOL)
nice update as always but did u add the gallery or debug room as yet
I really have a question, so I just downloaded the new update and I have previously played the older version so when I opened the newer version I couldn't find the saved progress. Do I have to start all over again or is there a way to continue from where I stopped? (I really like the game btw keep up the good work :) )
Unfortunately, for this current update as well as the next update, the save files won't be compatible between versions, since I'm still changing things around during the start of the game and settings new things up. When the save files do become compatible, I'll make a guide showing how to transfer those over, but for now, it's recommended to just play through once more!
Alright! Thank you so much :)
Hey I have a question for you?
Good job! Keep going
this game is fun but there wasn't much weight gain and i hope the next update come's out soon
It'll come soon!
I played this game a little bit and I already like it. I am curious on the weight gain part. Are there stages for the girls where they look bigger than before ?
Yep! I'm planning on updating the game either this week or next, but the weight gain will come later in the game. For now, stuffing!
I'd be willing to contribute some art for free, you can find me here https://www.deviantart.com/retardgame and if you like what you see then add me on discord cause it'll be easier to exchange art, RGame #0700.
Thanks for the kind words! Unfortunately, I would be looking for a 2D art-style, since all of the other art assets I've commissioned are in 2D. If that ever changes though, I'll let you know!
nice game hope to continue
Glad you liked it!
is there like a gallery room for this plz sick game by the way i like it
Thanks for the kind words! There is a plan to eventually implement a gallery room, where you can also replay certain level/quests, so stay tuned!
That's a rare case when I was reading dialogues.
I'll take it that you liked it then!
yep
Hi, I’d like to talk about possibly doing the assets for this game add me on Discord and I can show you the kind of stuff I make :) BalloonHokori#9706
