Staff of the Fat King Alpha 1.0 - "Spread the Love (and the Calories)"
Well, it's about time this project finally got a release to more people than the random people watching here! Staff of the Fat King is a weight gain-themed RPG where you, your friends, and even your enemies are capable of becoming very, very fat. The game revolves around a secondary currency to gold, food, that is used to gain experience (and weight) while also being used to fatten up enemies, as described below. There isn't much on the gameplay side, only some menus for combat and hotkeys for cheats (Listed down below). However, since this isn't technically the first release, there is new stuff at hand for both new and returning players. Let's talk about that!
CONTENT ADDITIONS:
- Bears!
* They start with high stats & lose armor as their weight increases
* They have four different weight levels
* They will thwap you
MECHANICS ADDITIONS:
- New ability - Food Toss
* For five seconds, the player can click anywhere on screen to toss one food towards the mouse. If the food hits an enemy, they will eat it and eventually gain weight. You can toss up to 10 food per cast and cannot feed already immobile enemies.
- Enemy immobility reworked
* Immobile enemies will now shrink back down after being immobilized, although the time it takes to shrink depends on how much you overfeed said enemy before its immobilization.
POLISH ADDITIONS:
- New fox player sprite (Check it out in more detail here!)
- Weight menu now tells the player how much food they have eaten & how much they currently have
- New animated experience bar on top of the screen
- Lizards now jiggle properly when hit at maximum size
- New menu for battles
MISC:
- "E" hotkey now spawns a bear rather than a lizard; bears can only be spawned with this button as of now
- Right Shift hotkey now rapidly adds levels (Old use moved to Right Alt)
KNOWN ISSUES:
- Bear hitboxes get iffy at higher weights
- Left Shift hotkey doesn't work right with Food Toss
HOW TO SET UP:
1. Download the linked folder from Google Drive
2. Download Java (If you have 1.8 or higher, you are good)
3. Unzip the folder, keeping all of the files together
4. Double-click the file "alpha_1.0.jar" (Mark it as an executable first on linux)
5? If you experience crashing problems where the window suddenly closes, open a command prompt, go to the folder with the command prompt, and type "java -jar alpha_1.0.jar" to get access to crash info
NEXT UPDATE:
- I dunno what I want to do quite yet, so vote on it here! http://www.strawpoll.me/13829431/r
- Tweaks to Food Toss probably
- Maybe new enemies?
HOTKEYS:
- "E" spawns a bear
- "H" heals all HP
- Space gives 100 food to the player
- Left Shift fattens enemies automatically, but doesn't work right
- Right Shift rapidly levels the player
- Right Alt gives the player one level
That's all there is to this update! Have fun and play away! If you have a question, too, feel free to ask!I'm still working on the manual...

Sorry for the late reply. It seems that this is a common problem among a lot of Java programs, so it may be a Java issue. I would look up various solutions and try each one to see if they work. First, however, I would go into the properties of alpha_1.0.jar and see if anything is set to force it to run in 32-bit mode. I hope you can fix the problem and enjoy the fattening fun of SotFK
Hmm- if I may make a request- could a female player sprite be made? I'd personally rather play as and fatten a female character, since that's what I'm interested in. Plus, I'm sure people would appreciate the option. Then again, I don't know how in-depth you're planning to go with the game's story, and having something other than a static character might make that complicated.
The original game plan was to have multiple different playable characters, but it got scrapped because that would be too tech intensive. Since a female character would only be a small sprite edit, however, I could do that. The next patch is all about giving the player animations, so I'd expect it in the next public release
FA+
