Ver0.54 Update

I really like that idea myself. As a side thought, I'd like to also suggest maybe an extension to the unaware scene as well.

I've got a question about the Story. The game so far has many bad endings so far. I don't remember a good ending and had an idea how to implement it. What if the player waits for Chieri to come back as she goes to dinner. Wouldn't she be happy we didn't tried to run away? I am not sure if someone mentioned that before, but wish the game to have at least 1 route with a happy Chieri and a happy Makoto.

Greenbaji

That would be neat

Ronryan

I also found a bug toward the end where I couldn't hide behind the car, the "!" wouldn't light up and I couldn't move

I loved the part where she "tests the weight of the house" but because my computers are kind of dated, it would be really nice to gain some resolution options. I'm hoping there's a way to have Chieri become nice I know I kind of get off on this stuff be she is really mean.

I think in the part when he's in the City, Makoto should be taller than the Buildings. That way, he's like a Mini-Giant.

This seems like a problem with Unity itself, and a common reason for that is that a security software might be preventing it from working properly. You might need to turn off your antivirus and such when downloading the game. Unfortunately this issue really depends on your PC's own enviornment so it's difficult to pinpoint the exact cause. We imagine you'd get the same issue when trying to run other Unity games, so googling the error message might help. We have changed a lot of things in this version so that might be related as well, and we'll look into it, but we can't guarantee we'll have a concrete answer right away.

mj_aoigai

Sorry, we can only reply to English or Japanese messages...

mj_aoigai

Hello, I seem to have some trouble downloading the new update, whenever I click to run the game after extracting the files, it still says the UnityPlayer is still not within the game. I tried putting it in the ResizeMe_Data folder along with the game, but it still didn't work.

Wendy Koopa

Thanks for the kind words! At the moment, these options intentionally don't pass over from scene to scene. Sorry that it's inconvenient... we'll try to change it by the time we release the game on Steam's early access.

mj_aoigai

We're glad you enjoyed the game! We want to add something like a sandbox mode, but it'd take a lot of programming time so we can't say for sure exactly how indepth it's going to be. At the very least we're planning to add the ability to move around freely, change your size at will and replay animations whenever you want. As for more story branches, that depends on our progress for the next few updates...

mj_aoigai

We might have Chieri grow inside the room as part of a bad end but it'd be hard to include it as part of the main scenario. We can't say for sure either way.

mj_aoigai

I just joined and I love the game a lot. Fantastic job! Played through it a second time tonight with the barefoot option enabled, and it kept turning off when continuing to the next section every time. I don't know if that is a known glitch or not, but I wanted to voice it anyway. Thanks for all your effort! :)

Nicholas Chamberlain

Overall, I have to say "Bravo!" To the new update. The writing is awesome, the characters are awesome, you guys are doing a great job. It would be cool if, down the line there was a sandbox mode like someone suggested, and an eventually further branching story, but I love this game.

i feel like this was probably mentioned or you guys thought of adding this or not, but i would love during the tackle scene when chieri holds the phone like 1 inch away from you to tease you about your size, when you character contemplates jumping for it, for that to actually be an option, where if you do jump for it, you accidently make chieri grow.

Yosuna

Thank you very much! We love despair moments like that too. We'd like to add some genuinely frightening scenes that would outright traumatize people but at some point it'd turn mostly everyone off so it's hard to know where to draw the line.

mj_aoigai

Say no to spoiler!

MarineSara

I just wanted to say that the scene where you try to tackle Chieri and fail instills a great sense of "oh man, I'm so screwed. I really screwed up." Hopeless despair moments like that are great :O

Enzo

What different features are you guys planning to add to the game that we have not seen yet?

Anon

We haven't really been focusing on blatant sex appeal for this project.

mj_aoigai

There were some issues with the transitions in that scene. We'll probably fix it when we'll flesh out this route a bit more in the future.

mj_aoigai

That might be nice.

mj_aoigai

not sure you know this, but there is a bug where if you choose the option to escape via the door, instead of climbing the cord, the game will end and go into preview when chieri picks you up, instead of transitioning into the next scene.

Yosuna

possibly became her boyfriend ending with gim liking being short.?

Is there a plan for more Chieri teasing Makato? more sex appeal?

Thanks for your support! 1. Not in the main story but once we implement freeplay mode you'll be able to freely modify Makoto's size. 2. The game's made in Unity so it should be technically possible, but we don't really know what the process of porting a game to a console is like.

mj_aoigai

We'd like to try adding gradual growth but we can't say for sure if we can.

mj_aoigai

Do you mean have the camera fixed on Chieri's perspective? Lol, do I detect multiplayer potential? I guess, if you could go to Chieri's perspective, you and your special sadistic friend playing together could swap reading dialogue and role play like that.

dbeats

i love everything so far, im very happy to be able to support this project, i have two questions though. First question will there ever be a point, perhaps a bonus scene, were you can control Makoto's size, like alternate through a few different sizes and have different interactions based on the size. like chest height, waist height, knee height all the way down to the normal smaller size? Second question and I know this one is a stretch but do you think this would ever be available on console?

Wolfhound

just a passing thought, not really a suggestion or desire for the game - but think about playing this game from the point of Chieri? It would be pretty interesting, especially if we start getting growth secnarios...

Zoey Kazuya

Shakermaster you are right i dont see well the menu sorry for the question was my mistake

GRios

I was wondering if you plan to have any gradual growth take place within the game for future updates? It would be cool to have the reverse happen with Chieri.

littleaggro

Sometimes when the scenes changed, the ability to see Makoto’s current size gets switched off and I have to reenable it (Still visible in the menus)

aHomester

Thanks for the typo report!

mj_aoigai

We're glad you liked it! We like "being treated like bug" situations so we wanted to add something like this, though unfortunately it's hard to do it over and over without it becoming repetitive.

mj_aoigai

Considering the whole town was downsized to 1/100th of its size, Makoto stands at a whomping 1.7cm

aHomester

How small does Makoto become when Chieri shrinks the whole town? I dont see his current size in that part

GRios

Lol it would be like Kratos vs Kronos, only that makoto is no warrior and would be totally obliterated by Chieri xd, would be fun to watch him getting killed by her though

MarineSara

I was reading some earlier comments from other fans and I was thinking about how one guy was interested in taking down Chieri... Now while I do subscribe to the powerless feeling in the presence of an all powerful being archetype, I think it would be fun to do battle with Chieri even at such a disadvantage. Makoto certainly seems like he has quite the rebellious spirit and an urge to resist so far. In addition, it would offer a good contrast in story branches for those who want to rebel compared to those who want Makoto to embrace his tiny life. Also it makes for good replay ability with potential mini-games. I know you both have responded to these subjects before so no need to repeat yourselves as I am just talking out loud as it were... anyone feel free to reply. Lol after all that is where real men belong, in the fight! If Makoto wants to show Chieri he's a grown up boy then he needs to get in there and brawl down!

dbeats

Love the update!, though i noticed a typo when she says "Cuz i wanna collect a ton of enregy".

Lol I wasnt such a big fan of the city part... but man I have to admit it looks AMAZING! specially since Makoto is being treated like a bug and KEEP GETTING SMALLER! Thats like the best part xd! I'M TOTALLY LOVING IT

MarineSara

Thank you! We wanted to add stomach growls at some point. We might do so if we find good enough sound effects. Burps are a bit too close to farts and may turn people off so we probably won't do that. Armpits are possible if we manage to model it well enough.

mj_aoigai

..we hope you enjoyed the game!

mj_aoigai

I really like the direction. Since you're releasing this on Steam, I understand you can't go to intense with the material, but I would love if some more scenes leaned into the character being over powered by different aspects of her body and her possibly being embarrassed by it, not realizing what that must be like for a tiny. The feet stuff is always a must and I think you are doing great work with that so far, but I think a scenario with her stomach would be good. Like her stomach growls so loud it it sounds like thunder to you. Or you could be by her mouth and she accidentally burps at you. Or some scenario where you are near her armpit and she get get's embarrassed because the smell overpowers you at that size.

PickledHotDog

Be cool thres an were end he enjoys being small like giantess fetish or micro or he becomes her boyfriend

Right now in terms of workload it'd be very hard to add additional characters besides random mobs. We would like to see it happen too, but it'd be tough to create their own animations and story.

mj_aoigai

We considered that but decided it would be difficult for the time being. You might be able to do something similar in free play mode though.

mj_aoigai

Around 18. They were originally younger but apparently Steam might have issues with that so we raised it a little bit.

mj_aoigai

It would be fun if Chieri shrunk Makoto smaller than another cute girl and made her do stuff to him (like step on him or something) or Chieri would step on her

Donovan

I'd Love an option that kept Makoto large with Chieri and have her or both interact with a third character. Or larger than the other character at least. Either way amazing update.

The other branch seems to look as if thats the case

Ronryan

How old are Chieri and Makoto?

i hope you make an ending were she is gental or beomes so or she dosent want to kill /hurt the guy becouse she likes him

We're afraid that we won't be releasing Ver.053 and beyond for free in order to gather enough support until the game's final release. You may want to wait until the game's complete. We wish you the best in finding employment as well.

mj_aoigai

We actually originally intended to complete the game by Chieri's birthday this year. There's always next year...

mj_aoigai

You can actually rotate the camera vertically by turning on TPS mode. We don't recommend using it too much since it can lead to some motion sickness but please consider it for when your neck hurts.

mj_aoigai

We're glad you liked that.

mj_aoigai

Thank you for your concern. We'll let everyone know in advance if our health would prevent us from working on the game for a while.

mj_aoigai

Thank you for your concern. There may indeed be a few scenes that would take longer than a month to develop. That said, starting from next year the programmer MJ might have a bit less time to work on the game, so we're trying to get as much work done as possible right now. It won't be easy but we'd like to keep up the pace of one update per month at least until we finish one route.

mj_aoigai

Thank you very much! We're considering a few situations that involve cars, but we can't say for sure yet. We're currently worried about how the game doesn't have a lot of branching paths, but adding more branches would require modifying the game's system a lot and take some time, but we do if we manage to do it we might be able to create more bad ends. Personally though I also think having too many bad ends can mess with the game's flow so I'm not a huge fan.

mj_aoigai

I'll help answer your question in haiku style, here we go! Play time with my pet; fun while he is active; boring while still. Mmm- hmm that's a metaphor.

dbeats

I really enjoyed this update. Having normal-sized objects for reference made her size all the more imposing. The size changing as well was very intense and you could really feel the different levels of pressure at each size ratio. I forgot how tiny she was at normal size! But... what was with all her talking about how Makoto was gonna have to get used to his new size, her "training" plans, etc.? "That just won't do from now on!" With that plus the new outfit I could swear she was planning something other than just resizing you lol. I wonder if you guys just couldn't wait to get to the city scene or what. The city scenario admittedly looks really cool, I just hope you guys don't burn yourselves out, as it seems like a lot of work. Don't rush yourselves too much if you can help it!

QMajor60

When will the previous update be available to non-patreons? I truly wish I could support you but am sadly currently unemployed

Jake The TIny

Hey! So today is Chieri's birthday. Here's a joke/pun for the occasion (and also because laughter can sometimes be the best medicine...) *clears throat* Okay, so why are the authorities always on the look out for Chieri?....Because the police say she's still at large! Happy Birthday to Chieri!......I hope I don't get crushed for that lol...

dbeats

Nicely done managing the update while you're sick, hope you guys better soon. I would really appreciate an option to be able to look up with the Oculus Touch controllers using one of the analogue sticks, it'd really save people from having to break their neck to look up at Chieri all the time

Also, including premade save data that let us jump straight to the new content was a good quality of life addition

Or just have chieri shrink herself to be able to go behind but still be larger that would be awesome to see

Ronryan

love this update as well. have you considered adding a possible 3rd character? like a sister for chieri and acts like her shrunken pet. possible scene for that being you hide from her as a tiny behind her dresser, and chieri ends up shrinking her sister small enough to go behind to dresser to grab you while still being larger than you.

Yosuna

If you guys aren't feeling well / are feeling sick, don't push yourselfs to get the update ready in time. take your time and make sure to get better first before getting more work done on the game. health comes first, imo, pretty sure your fans/community would understand.

Hi MJ and Aoigai, sorry to hear you weren't feeling well. Having produced a great update while feeling ill is a testament to your dedication, I commend you both. May I offer a suggestion? Perhaps start another poll to see if your fans would prefer to keep the monthly updates flowing or if we all would be fine with waiting just a little longer for the next update. I for one would like to relieve you of your stress as much as possible to bolster the quality you produce. The next update is likely going to be related to the city and I know many of us are anticipating something fantastic. Yet at the same time, many people have different opinions on how the city scene should play out. You could probably use more than a month to plan out what you want to do. Again, just a thought.

dbeats

The city scene has a lot of potential, yes. However, I think that a size-change in the midst of her carnage is good bonus scene potential rather than main story play-through, of course if it's possible. I am looking forward to the city destruction while at a 1/100 size difference to start off.

dbeats

Thank you for the very nice update! I really love the scenes where she crushes and flattens things under her feet with just her weight. My favorite scene is the “Shrunken city” scene – I hope to see more foot crush destruction of her, carelessly stepping on cars and buildings making them crush inclusive the interior and peoples inside. I also like the possibility to do “false” decisions which may lead to be crushed – for example entering the wrong house to hide, which she will be stepping on. Also, the scene with the tiny house in her room, where you walked inside, and she was sitting on top making it crack was very good. I was not sure if she is going to crush it, when you stay too long inside. :D In addition to this scene, I have a suggestion for another one like this: She has got a small toy car in her room, like the house too. The small car could also be a shrunken real car. Maybe she could play a game with him, after she crushed the house under her bottom. She is putting him into the car, placing it on the ground. Then she will place her foot onto the car making it crack a little bit. Teasing him, how easily she could crush him and end his existence. Now the player has a decision to whether to try to get out of the car or try to start the engine. In both cases, she walks full weight over the car crushing it completely flat. If the player decides to get out, he will survive, if the player tries to start the engine, he will be crushed under her foot and the game has a bad ending. :D I love bad endings or dead end in the game by choosing the wrong decision. I am looking forward to your game and hope you have as much fun developing it, as we are having playing it! :D

DB

This was an incredible update, thank you so much! One question, with the upcoming updates focusing on the tiny city, will we still be seeing much size-change? I'm hoping we see some changes and not just 100% city destruction (not as interesting in my opinion)!

sm

Thank you very much. We'll keep looking out for our health! How much smaller Makoto can get is a matter of how much the engine can handle.

mj_aoigai

Thank you as well! That might be interesting.

mj_aoigai

Thank you!

mj_aoigai

There were a lot of rough parts in this update, but we're glad you enjoyed it so much regardless! We'll keep working hard while looking out for our healths.

mj_aoigai

Thank you! And that might be a bug, we'll look into it.

mj_aoigai

Thank you for your concern. We'd like to take it easy too, but we also want to remain faithful to the schedule we've built up in advance...

mj_aoigai

Thank you very much! We think the scenes will be more polished in the final version. We tried to confirm how small Makoto can get from a technical perspective, and we found that a 1/1000 size is the most the engine can handle. We're still looking for ways to tackle this but we can't guarantee he'll get any smaller.

mj_aoigai

If you send us a DM rather than a comment we could explain it to you privately without posting spoilers publicly.

mj_aoigai

Around half of the upcoming updates will revolve around the city. Please look forward to it.

mj_aoigai

Thank you! We're glad you enjoyed it! We feel better now.

mj_aoigai

Thank you very much! We're planning to rest for 2 or 3 days now.

mj_aoigai

Thank you! We'll try to keep up this pace.

mj_aoigai

Right. There will be several bad ends, but we can promise not all endings will be totally despair-filled.

mj_aoigai

So Index controllers really are unusable... We're not sure why antialiasing doesn't work. It might be related to the resolution. There really are a lot of different kinds of VR sets and it's hard to account for them all... We're glad you enjoyed the contents of the update!

mj_aoigai

We're okay now. Thanks for your concern!

mj_aoigai

We were unsure about many things in this update, but we're glad you liked it!

mj_aoigai

Who knows? He'll either stay with Chieri for an endless amount of time or eventually be forgotten and dropped alongside the shorts in the laundry... I (Aoigai) wasn't the one who wrote that event so I'm curious as well actually. We'll eventually expand the city a bit.

mj_aoigai

Thank you. We were down with the flu for a long time but we're alright now.

mj_aoigai

Thank you for your concern. We managed to mostly recover.

mj_aoigai

Thank you. There will probably be a good ending... maybe...

mj_aoigai

Sorry for the wait. We hope you enjoyed the update!

mj_aoigai

Sorry for the wait!

mj_aoigai

We'll probably put it up on Steam in 5 or 6 months.

mj_aoigai

Very nice work on the update and hope you all feel even better as well. Make sure you have your health at it's best and all. I can't wait for the next update and of how much more shrinking and size fun can be had. (I'd say more but keep it secret to avoid spoiler's for some and all.)

Luminargamer

Awesome update, thank you! I hope in a future update there's a bonus scene where you fall off of her shorts after clinging ;p

*Adjusts glasses* Actually her birthday is on September 1st, not the 31st of August. Sorry but it appears you're likely going to get crushed lol.

dbeats

Great update!

so can i get a summery because i cant be a patron on the story

Also, tomorrow is Chieri's birthday!! :D x

Jonno

This game never fails to completely blow me away. Every time. If I was 100% in love with it before, now I'm 100x that. Absolutely mind bogglingly incredible stuff. I'm so thankful of you guys and all your hard work. Keep it up. I honestly don't mind and I'm sure a lot of others would agree with me on this but take your time on it. Make it more than great. Make it incredible. We can wait. Stay healthy and strong. Thank you. <3 <3 <3

Jonno

Loved the update, incredible work! The tackling part was done amazingly well, perspective was incredible. I hope to see more branching with additional shrinking, just like in tackling part - and can't wait for more city updates! I noticed that the tackling branch of the story is not shown in scene selection menu - is that on purpose? That made me concerned that I might be missing other 'hidden' branches :)

dzutte

Don't feel obligated to rush it for our sakes. I would rather an artist take time and make something good rather than rush it just to make a timeline. I love your work guys keep it up

Hargart

what story was in the update i can use my card on patrion so im wondering what they added

I just registered on your project, once again congratulations for your work it's really well done! I have some questions about this latest update: 1) Will there be options to change Chieri's outfits? (high heels, more sexy outfit for exemple) 2) How long will the game last? 3) Are you going to add other situations and develop the plot with the stuffed toy and Cheiri's plans to shrink the city? 4) There will be times when we can move freely in the game? 5) Will there be other bonus scenes? Thank you for your work, I look forward to seeing the rest!

Alex

This update was great. I can't wait to see the scenes again once polished, and future scenes of course. I hope this isn't the only time Makoto shrinks to the limit :3

aHomester

so what happends in this update

whats the story i dont mind spoliers

I loved it and will excitedly wait for a month for the city part to continue! Thank you!

Donovan

Wow, wow, wow! You continue to amaze and impress! Feel better soon!

Johnathan Black

Get some rest and stay healthy! Thank you for your hard work!

Shatrr

My only one nitpick with it is how we didnt get to experience the size difference from the ground up or had any objects near us for size comparison

Ronryan

Love it! Keep up the great work!

Enzo

Amazing work. Loved the tackle shrink very much! You guys did great.

Zoey Kazuya

"The great truth is there isn't one And it only gets worse since that conclusion The irony of being an extension to nothing And the force of inertia is now a vital factor" - I guess these lines perfectly fit Makoto's situation. But I still hope for some gentle action, like a good ending for example! 😄

HugeKagaLover

First of all: I am glad you guys feel better - if you are not fully recovered yet - get better, my best wishes. Don't force yourself too much, I hope most people would understand if a planned update has a slight delay, your health comes first. Now for some friendly criticism: I recently exchanged my Oculus Rift with a VALVe Index - I am aware this HMD is (sadly) not available in Japan yet and it's also quite pricy - so yeah, I'm willing to help out as you probably can't afford it. The Index controllers sadly are unusable for the game right now (wasn't able to open the menu for example) - however, no big deal: I used my gamepad, all good. The second thing: I haven't tested on my Oculus yet - but it is very visible that Antialiasing doesn't seem to work anymore with the VALVe Index - other applications I have work fine with Antialiasing and SteamVR so it might be a general issue of this version. But now after the nitpicking of negatives, the positives: So, let's start.. I love the new update. Everything fits so nicely together, the story makes more and more sense. The shrinking effect when you try to stop her - top notch amazing, honestly. So yeah... I'll give a triple and quadruple thumbs up. Thank you for your ongoing work.

haoLink

Also, I hope you are feeling better!

ChibiMann

I love the new update!! Fantastic! You guys are doing an incredible job! I can't wait to see what happens next...

ChibiMann

I do love the game but that the part where makoto tackle her so she shrink him down to 1mm size and he can't die like that so what happen after?, the city part was okay and i hope she grow bigger in the town or need to big city for it.

Tiger7500

i hope you get well

Jang

I'm glad you guys are recovering well 😊

Viperousバイペラス ?

I enjoyed the update, i just hope that there's a good ending for Makoto, he deserves it

Demural Haraldssen

I've just woken up and this has already made my day. I feel like a kid at Christmas. ❤❤❤ 20 minutes!!! :O You guys are the BEST ❤❤❤

good job.hope u release this on steam.
