In version 0.4.1 I have an issue with fat buffs and debuffs staying after fights but size buffs also stay sometimes after the raving fan uses his transfer skill in a boss fight with the buff also disappearing after moving onto the next floor. I'm not sure if any other buffs would stay as well. Also, at the castle dungeon, when I enter I have the option to go to "Level 0" which brings me to the sewer dungeon. This wasn't there at first and I think it apperead after I used the plush to get out of the dungeon with a checkpoint. And I also sometimes get "below" the dungeon floor. It's not by much, sometimes I only notice it once I can't pick things on the floor up anymore or can't open chests etc. and it happens after I step over obstacles only so far. One time when re-entering the dungeon after leaving it with a checkpoint from the plush, I got spawned next to the dungeon into the void. In the end I had to use the emergency escape. Nonetheless I really like your game and I just want to help you just a tiny bit with making it a better experience. Keep up the great work!
I think the bug with the Bunshido not attacking is due to her having an Iatowashi Sheathed and Stool equipped in her hands by default. The Iatowashi Sheathed can't be used without an empty hand. I unequipped the Stool and she used Sheathe Buff (or, uh, "Seathe buff") and Iatojutsu as a follower.
Very good game, I can hardly complain, but some things need to be improved, for example white bugs, what you could also do would be a few fetishes that you can turn on or off in the settings, depending on what you want. so depending on what you want to do with the game i just suggest a few things
Highly doubt it. I also am curious about the reasoning behind that skill. You can get followers though and potentially could grow them. (Spoiler, there is one that will grow you based on the stats you give them and/or the gear you wear).
Not sure if this is a bug or not but I can't find the blacksmith's key where I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be (right outside the gate, I had played before) and thus can't use the blacksmith. If it moved locations does anyone know where?
Found it, and you're right, I forgot it was there and wasn't ready to face the enemies on the beach so didn't check that way bc of where I thought it was
im not 100% sure about that but i think it changes your pasive stance (good way to see that is when you go firts time in tunnel with bushido and stay silent + refuse to fight multiple times) and probably changes speed of gray bar charging (also good way to see that is fighting beast over and over)
Kinda surprised you found that. I'm nearly 100% sure that is a bug. If you keep entering conversation and staying silent it continues to change your stance. I have no idea when or where your stance changes but it even does it on a fresh character. As you can see from the picture (can this be nsfw? lol) the characters legs actually cross behind and the shoulders are forced back while also forcing the chest forwards. Perhaps this isn't a bug, but it isn't necessarily attractive. Would be nice to have selectable stances or slider to fine tweak that if that is a thing.
Also, you mention the gray bar charging. You mean the AP bar? This thing I cannot really figure out. Some battles it slowly charges, others it rises when you attack (or take turns). According to the stats page the breasts stat heavily affects the AP regen.
Lastly, Ego for what I know affects the penis and balls size. Winning battles or being aggressive in them boosts your ego while losing or being passive either decreases it or does nothing for it.
Ego is a hidden stat that increases when you win battles and/or aggressive in them. The opposite is true if you lose battles or are passive in them you lose ego. The main (maybe only) affect I've seen it change is the penis and ball size if your character has them.
Not that I found. You definitely can go do what you want but are soft locked by your power. The first thing you need to do is find the blacksmith's key (which is outside the town). Then you can walk out of the town and go left across a bridge and that's your first dungeon. There is another one if you were able to walk straight forward from the town. There is also a cave with a nasty lich off to the side of the previous mentioned dungeon. There is high-leveled dock workers behind the town. As well as high-leveled bandits in the town. Lastly, if you go left, and turn left before the bridge there is two paths. One will go down a crevasse with a soft-lock by a chain-link fence the other is through a tunnel to the WIP area that is not finished. From what I have found there are 4 followers(the raving fan, bunshido, mad chimera, foreman.) You'll get items from the dungeons and weapons or gear from enemies. You can purchase armor from the blacksmith for cheap early on but as you grow the armor will not fit you anymore and requires you to infuse it with materials to make it stretch to fit you.
I'm not sure if you are required to have completed the blacksmith quest, but his anvil is behind him, or his house. You'll interact with "upgrade equipment". It's kinda clunky but you will put in the item you wish to upgrade. In the purple box is what you put in, and the arrow to the gray box is what comes out. Once you have selected an item to improve you can then put applicable upgrade materials into the top 8 squares. They are locked to the color of the item, or stat. Say, to upgrade the breastplate you can upgrade it with any blue item like another breastplate, or broken swords, or blue metal scrap/bar, essence of legs/bust, and even ability crystals. The game's scope is quite limited right now so just doing dungeons will award you with significant experience and loot. Once you have the item you can upgrade it quickly. Armor is cheap and fantastic to use early on. Just find random Pokémon battles in the long grass. Get money or sell stuff you get. A full set of armor is like 100 DD. After a while you will outgrow it unless you upgrade it but it can be more of a hassle then it's worth as you level up so fast.
Just use the anvil behind the blacksmith, ability crystals give the most xp to your weapons. Although it'll take a lot of them to fully max out an equipment (past 100).
Specs aren't terribly high, I'd say most should be able to play it. I have a UW 1440p monitor with a 3070ti, and a 5800x. To get 60 fps, my gpu is below boost clock at about 35-45% usage, and my cpu is at idle of 3.4ghz using probably 10% or less for the game. It does it chunky when growth numbers are huge but this latest version seems to be pretty stable so far.
I don't think damage scaling is "broken" per say, but it is definitely unbalanced. Also, the size stat increases everything far faster than any individual stat. As the broken sword pulls from 3 stats at a scaling tier of "C", while the blesser, bat, roundel, cat ear fetish, barrel, and empty barrel all pull from a single stat. For me, the broken sword does 237, bat/blesser/roundel all do 55. Empty barrel of tier "D" does 27 while barrel of tier "A" does 137. My second playthrough I used two broken swords upgraded for XP boost, then moved onto the size sword as that does even more damage plus both have better abilities.
Good catch on weapon upgrading. For me, using the broken sword at lv0 does 226 dmg, while lv1 it does 229 dmg. Lv2 is now 233, so perhaps that is the "scaling" the tier provides or it's just an exponential scale based on the overall experience the weapon has. But I will say damage numbers do seem to have strange values.
Not sure this bug has been mentioned anywhere so I'll bring it up just in case: the gatekeeper at the bandit hideout doesn't respawn if you pay him 50 and then reload the area at any point after, leaving the player with no way to bypass the invisible wall as far as I'm aware
Love what you're doing here, keep up the fantastic work
The bosses you can recruit are: the dragon on the ravine, the mad chimera on the docks, the growth cultist next to the ravine and the Bushido on the tunnel.
Interacting with them again will produce the prompt to turn them into a follower.
Not sure if this is really a bug, but I copied an old save from version 3.8 to the current build (4.0), and initiated a battle with the Bandit Guard, and my companion only grew me until the game crashed...no other attacks for me or the enemy even showed. Here's what it says:
You're probably looking towards the mountain tops, those also cause my PC (yes, PC) to lag like crazy as well. Best way to deal with it is to keep yourself not too large (around the size of a house or something) or not look towards that direction for now until it's fixed.
i've tried not to look and yes, lag is going from moutains (probably clouds), but game crashed anyway (19k temporary size buff, next buff crashed) when i was looking at other side of the map. UPD. i changed resolution and game didnt crash after same actions
I know this seems like a really dumb question, but how the hell do you attack? It says to LMB but that doesn't do anything? Is there something I'm missing? (Extremely new to the game btw
you can get ability crystals from dungeons, those give you 5 points per use.
Beast is a repeatable boss type character, meaning they get stronger after each fight but you cannot get them as followers, this applies to Bandit leader and Lich as well.
Followers only level up if they're following you into fights. they won't ever shrink unless you reset their levels with Plush.
there's a "scaling" menu on the Character tab, you can change how much your stats can affect your size (do keep in mind that it is cosmetic in nature, not meant to affect your actual stats)
abilities that make you bigger/stronger while in battle are temporary effects, they'll reset when a battle ends (there's a bug that can lead you to retaining your temporary stats tho)
i have suggestion about camera zoom, its nothing big, so maybe fix for later
while character is "less than map" size - zoom is fine, but on very (and i mean VERY) big sizes max zoom is too close and one tick of zoom out is too far already. at some point it is even battle problem, causing softlock (cant hit enemy because camera too far). and i get it, it wasnt calculated for unlimited size. anyway as i said, its nothing seroius, just "maybe" thing.
do you need a mouse to play it? I can't use any pcs yet and I've tried to open the file which says its corrupted,my device might not be able to run it idk
hey ive had this problem pop up ''Fatal error. [File:D:/Build/++UE4/Sync/Engine/Source/Runtime/PakFile/Private/IPlatfomFilePak.cpp] [Line: 3958] Retry was not succesful'' any help?

i haven't found exact numbers, but if you have 150-200 muscle and 200-300 size, you can take it
The man who was released by the Giant rat key, where is his key?And what does money mean when it appears under the alchemist's task?I'm a newbie.
It's outside town, just left of the giant gap in the wall.
In version 0.4.1 I have an issue with fat buffs and debuffs staying after fights but size buffs also stay sometimes after the raving fan uses his transfer skill in a boss fight with the buff also disappearing after moving onto the next floor.

Hi:)
What's new in this 4.0 version of the game, if someone has played, please tell me ?
GrowthRPG V0.4.0 | Trell
Is there any way to become a slime like the one just outside town?
the only way you can become a silme is go to the cave and kill the litch and then you will become a slime as you said x3
After you kill the lich once, just walk up the tank behind it and interact with it.
I think the bug with the Bunshido not attacking is due to her having an Iatowashi Sheathed and Stool equipped in her hands by default. The Iatowashi Sheathed can't be used without an empty hand. I unequipped the Stool and she used Sheathe Buff (or, uh, "Seathe buff") and Iatojutsu as a follower.
losing to the samurai in the tunnel to the tower quits to the main menu
other than that this game is great so far
yeah bosses send you to the main menu, other fights just spit you back out on the overworld
oh and I can only talk to the gate guard once
So what's with the "Goo body" mentioned in the changelog? How do you get it?
you need to defeat lich and then you jump in the tank of goo
The game could really use some optimization, or maybe a way to turn down the rendering of the grass and stuff, makes it really laggy in some areas
Id love to see the unreal engine spaghetti web code that this game has. lol
you can watch the spaghetti be made live at https://picarto.tv/DigitalFurBelow where I work on the game on, Tuesday through Friday 8:30-4:30 EST
Sorry, what version of the game is it now?
0.3.8 for public, 0.3.9 for patreons.
eh? it's 0.3.9a public now
Ah right, changelogs.
What is a public ?
Will there ever be a mobile port?
I don't mind if you have to remove things to make the file size smaller... But I would like to see a Apk for the game
Will the game ever be multiplayer?
I only ask because of the cat fetish weapon that doesn't work unless there is someone else.
Highly doubt it. I also am curious about the reasoning behind that skill. You can get followers though and potentially could grow them. (Spoiler, there is one that will grow you based on the stats you give them and/or the gear you wear).
How to open inventory or close hud?
You can use TAB to open and close the inventory, you can also use Esc to close any menu.
Not sure if this is a bug or not but I can't find the blacksmith's key where I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be (right outside the gate, I had played before) and thus can't use the blacksmith. If it moved locations does anyone know where?
as far as im aware, it always been located near the bridge that lead to hard dungeon
Thank you, I'll look
Found it, and you're right, I forgot it was there and wasn't ready to face the enemies on the beach so didn't check that way bc of where I thought it was
FEAR ME, MORTALS! FOR I HAVE LEARNED THE ELDRITCH KNOWLEDGE OF THE FORBIDDEN PLUSH!
what have you done. I've also figured out that in dungeons u can use the plush to save your progress with the escape function.
what does ego do? I have been playing this game for a few hours or so and I haven't figured out what it does yet, can anyone help?
im not 100% sure about that but
i think it changes your pasive stance (good way to see that is when you go firts time in tunnel with bushido and stay silent + refuse to fight multiple times) and probably changes speed of gray bar charging (also good way to see that is fighting beast over and over)
Kinda surprised you found that. I'm nearly 100% sure that is a bug. If you keep entering conversation and staying silent it continues to change your stance.

Lastly, Ego for what I know affects the penis and balls size. Winning battles or being aggressive in them boosts your ego while losing or being passive either decreases it or does nothing for it.
Stance changes with your response to before every battle, the game takes the most used response as the stat for which stance to use.
Top one is aggressive, middle one is neutral and bottom one is passive.
Ego is a hidden stat that increases when you win battles and/or aggressive in them. The opposite is true if you lose battles or are passive in them you lose ego. The main (maybe only) affect I've seen it change is the penis and ball size if your character has them.
Ego is a "hidden" stat that increases the size of genitals.
it make pp bigger
if you have pp, of course
Is there a guide for the game that lists all the bosses, locations, possible followers, collectables, etc?
I feel so lost because the quest board doesnt detail locations and stuff
Not that I found. You definitely can go do what you want but are soft locked by your power. The first thing you need to do is find the blacksmith's key (which is outside the town). Then you can walk out of the town and go left across a bridge and that's your first dungeon. There is another one if you were able to walk straight forward from the town.

You can purchase armor from the blacksmith for cheap early on but as you grow the armor will not fit you anymore and requires you to infuse it with materials to make it stretch to fit you.
How do you use the gear-uprades to infuse your weapons and gear? ive collected some from dungeons but was never able to use them, I might be stupid
I'm not sure if you are required to have completed the blacksmith quest, but his anvil is behind him, or his house. You'll interact with "upgrade equipment". It's kinda clunky but you will put in the item you wish to upgrade. In the purple box is what you put in, and the arrow to the gray box is what comes out.

What are the specs required to run this game?
I have no idea
Specs aren't terribly high, I'd say most should be able to play it. I have a UW 1440p monitor with a 3070ti, and a 5800x. To get 60 fps, my gpu is below boost clock at about 35-45% usage, and my cpu is at idle of 3.4ghz using probably 10% or less for the game. It does it chunky when growth numbers are huge but this latest version seems to be pretty stable so far.
You can run this with a 2gb graphics card, although you will get some lag in very specific parts, nothing that can't be dealt with.
You can buy a deliching potion from the Potion Shop in town
Hey so I think the item scaling is broken? I'm Currently at 196 Strength and the Blesser is only doing 6 damage per hit
I don't think damage scaling is "broken" per say, but it is definitely unbalanced. Also, the size stat increases everything far faster than any individual stat. As the broken sword pulls from 3 stats at a scaling tier of "C", while the blesser, bat, roundel, cat ear fetish, barrel, and empty barrel all pull from a single stat. For me, the broken sword does 237, bat/blesser/roundel all do 55. Empty barrel of tier "D" does 27 while barrel of tier "A" does 137. My second playthrough I used two broken swords upgraded for XP boost, then moved onto the size sword as that does even more damage plus both have better abilities.
Upgrade your equipment, each one has a rating (ranging from D to A, with A being the best).
Good catch on weapon upgrading. For me, using the broken sword at lv0 does 226 dmg, while lv1 it does 229 dmg. Lv2 is now 233, so perhaps that is the "scaling" the tier provides or it's just an exponential scale based on the overall experience the weapon has. But I will say damage numbers do seem to have strange values.
Hey so I got this bug randomly after running around after finishing a fight. This is on a second save by the way.
theres a bug with having multiple gamesaves causing crashes, I still haven't figured out what is causing it
Oh ok, thanks good to know!
How to get money easy? I'm starting out
Run into bushes either in or outside of the town. You'll find random items, money, and perhaps other enemies doing the same thing!
Just explore the dungeons and sell whatever metals you get.
I haven't been able to download this game from this site. Is there an alternative download?
Not sure this bug has been mentioned anywhere so I'll bring it up just in case: the gatekeeper at the bandit hideout doesn't respawn if you pay him 50 and then reload the area at any point after, leaving the player with no way to bypass the invisible wall as far as I'm aware
Love what you're doing here, keep up the fantastic work
the royal rat is very unbalanced , the field of our reception is growing
Sorry, is there any other companions in this game ?
Besides the white wolf bandit.
Almost all the bosses you have defeated are your future companions
What is true?
How to do it,
where to click?
The bosses you can recruit are: the dragon on the ravine, the mad chimera on the docks, the growth cultist next to the ravine and the Bushido on the tunnel.
Interacting with them again will produce the prompt to turn them into a follower.
Thanks :)
Not sure if this is really a bug, but I copied an old save from version 3.8 to the current build (4.0), and initiated a battle with the Bandit Guard, and my companion only grew me until the game crashed...no other attacks for me or the enemy even showed. Here's what it says:
The UE4-GrowthRPG Game has crashed and will close
Assertion failed: GetFName() = = NAME_None[File:D:/Build/++/UE4/Sync/Engine/Source/Runtime?CoreUObject/Private/UObject/UObjectBase.cpp] [Line: 130]
Old saves have a tendency of producing issues in these early version, future versions might have this fixed.
For now, I recommend starting over with each new version.
v0.3.9, new save, same error. i was fighting beast, when character grew around 10-15k size, game started to lag and then crashed.
You're probably looking towards the mountain tops, those also cause my PC (yes, PC) to lag like crazy as well. Best way to deal with it is to keep yourself not too large (around the size of a house or something) or not look towards that direction for now until it's fixed.
i've tried not to look and yes, lag is going from moutains (probably clouds), but game crashed anyway (19k temporary size buff, next buff crashed) when i was looking at other side of the map.
UPD. i changed resolution and game didnt crash after same actions
Seems you were just running out of memory then, glad you found a workaround for it.
How many helpers are there in the game ?
4 at the moment. The raving fan, mad chimera, foreman, and bushido.
Is it possible to take all the assistants at once , or just one of them ?
It is one at a time. You're not locked to any one. I also forgot, there's the barrel guy. (He doesn't like it when you touch his barrels)
I know this seems like a really dumb question, but how the hell do you attack? It says to LMB but that doesn't do anything? Is there something I'm missing? (Extremely new to the game btw
do you have the weapon equipped on your hand? if so you have to be in range anyway you should see it
You can only use attacks and skills while in battle, the buttons to press to use them are always on display.
may i ask where i can find the madchef and the alchemist? other interactive caracther than the usuals most of them i find them only in the dangeon
(i really enjoy this game so much it has a lot of potential can't wait for the next update and new stuff put in it keep it up digi! <3)
The easy dungeon (next to the lich cave) is where you'll find them.
thank you so much <3
I feel like I'm missing something, is there a way to dodge attacks? I try and attack people but just get one hit.
It's an unlockable skill on the far right, costs 20 points.
Can I ask you something?
i have suggestion about camera zoom, its nothing big, so maybe fix for later
while character is "less than map" size - zoom is fine, but on very (and i mean VERY) big sizes max zoom is too close and one tick of zoom out is too far already. at some point it is even battle problem, causing softlock (cant hit enemy because camera too far). and i get it, it wasnt calculated for unlimited size. anyway as i said, its nothing seroius, just "maybe" thing.
clicking the mouse wheel while in battle will change the camera mode.
oh. my wheel click doesnt work, so i didnt know about that.
i got a messesge saying failed to open descriptor file and i wipe my laptop clean so it runs better
do you need a mouse to play it? I can't use any pcs yet and I've tried to open the file which says its corrupted,my device might not be able to run it idk
It's PC only atm, so yes.
hey ive had this problem pop up
''Fatal error.
