Growth Gambit
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
It's an RPG Maker game set in a city where height is a resource for power. Whenever you win a game, you can take the height of your opponent, making you a giantess or even a goddess. In this game, you will venture into an underground club, where you'll encounter a few beauties willing to play games at the cost of either your height or theirs. Will you shrink to nothingness or grow to become a goddess? Only time will tell.

after a while the main charater sprite doesn't appear after winning a game. it's around the part where she says she's too big for her appartement
Which game and which growth path
after any game, BE
so I played a bit of this game I got to the second around, and it's really well done, the only thing I wish to see in the future with this is the potential to customize your Character, well customize as much as you are able to to, like have different kinds of Girls to choose from is what I am saying but aside from that, I enjoy it
This probably will never happen.
Imagine this :
You want to have long hair, sure 70 more images.
Oh someone want a braids in the hair, another 70 images
But what if someone want short braids oh another 70 images.
You can see this is content creep.
Gonna make it Linux compatible?
I do not know If I can make RPG maker working on Linux.
Id think it would be possible but idk, I'm not a game dev.
You can get it working with Lutris fine
What service did you use to generate the images of girls and what prompt did you use to get their features so big. Also love the game <3 but I feel like the wager gravity multiplier doesn't work so it takes long time to level up and can I bring back the character that disappeared because I took all their height?
No services. Local SD using a self-trained model from nothing.
Gravity wager is a small bonus, nothing more, nothing less.
No you bring them back for story reasons.
Thanks
Why can't I open the decryption game cg
I'm confused what you mean?
How to unlock full CG, I have some that I can't beat, I want to collect them all
oh how decrypt it, not gonna tell you. It's encrypted for a reason.
Play the game to unlock the CG
Thank you
Will their ever be a mobile version?
It's already playable on Joiplay
syrianna’s secret has a failed to load image. Any way to fix it or we can’t?
Edit* btw I love the game sm. Can’t wait till completion and I am currently using the demo deluxe.
Will release a bug fix at the end of the day for me.
(after work in like 7 ish hours.)
Uploaded
Thanks!!
Is there any way to get old saves to work with the new version of the game?
No, there have been to many system updates between this and old version.
That would cause major bugs.
What's FMG and AE?
FMG = Female Muscle Growth
AE = Ass Expansion
In the new Demo Deluxe release:
Fighting against Ravenna as soon as she becomes available gives me a "Failed to load img/pictures/Ravennna%20S8.png" Error from which I cannot progress further.
This is a cascading problem that goes up to Ravenna S10.png if I supplement it with random pictures.
should be fixed
will we be able to buy the full game here?
Later yes
Isn't it about time for a new public release for this game? I know we weren't given v .5 immediately when v .6 released on patreon because v .6 was more of a polish update that didn't really introduce new content. The v .7 has been released recently on patreon however and it's not such a minor update. Is the plan to continue to not update the public version or did it slip the author's mind to release the next previous update to itch.io?
No, didn't slip my mind. Just lack of time. RL work is devouring to much of it. so Free version update isn't ready yet.
By any chance, not the rar file, but the zip file version. Can you upload it?
I could, but why?
I'm trying to use joyplay, but it's difficult because it doesn't work as a rar file.
That's strange as I know people can play it on Joiplay with the current rar files.
I'm sorry, but I don't know how to do it. Can you tell me?
Non has responded to the call of help.
I do not know how Joiplay exactly works, I only know people got it working before.
Just extract the rar file using an extractor like win.rar or something, open your joipoay, go into downloads and open the extracted game folder. From there click on the game.exe file.
when downloading the game, he says that the archive is damaged and I can't play
Seems to be your zip tool. I confirmed it's working.
hey, fan of this game, i really took lot of pleasure playing this game, i wonder if you have a plan of doing a game just about the expandeverse part, there's a lot of potential with it like the tower i saw you have been working on, if not it's fine, you are already doing so much for your projects, keep it going ^^
First thanks for playing.
Second you have to elaborate on "expandeverse" part.
oh yeah, i meant the card game on oreandal from the girl with the yellow jacke
A full fletched card game is on the table for a next project after Growth Gambit
But so are many others
i'm excited to see it when it's gonna come out ^^ keep the hard work but never forget to take a break when needed
is it gonna one day be able to be playable on browser?
No clue if the game will even function in browser as it requires some weird inputs and timing things for QTE and browser might run out of memory
I think i am stuck at the normania level(if I remember its name correctly). I defeated all the boses in that level, the forest one, the fox one and the demon one but I haven't gotten to the next location yet. Like the maid still hasn't appeared in my game to take me to a new location. I have also defeated the 2 boxes, one of which had card games related to BE,AE, giantess etc and the black ball one where u had to press OK repeatedly...rest of em are now just to tall to beat...they are like 700ms.
So what should I do now?
You have reached the end of the free version.
Past Normania is Patreon content
Ok!
So when the new version be made public?
Dunno, when I feel like it.
Wow, how rude. Why do you treat a fan like this? Wtf bro.
Nothing rude about it, It never did have a set release window
As you normally get updates one week before patreon release.
I am sorry guys but am i just really stupid. I found the messege in Alices level, the fake key, but i have no idea what to do after that.
Perhaps the fake key is fake ? hmmm...
What items do i need to trigger for secret 1 to activate
All 3, but items are irrelevant to the secret.
You have to do something else, the gravekeeper should know more about this.
how do i get different endings
and is there a cap on how much one of the girls can grow?
Free versions doesn't have a yet ending
And there is no cap yet
Ask the gravekeeper ;)
有些小游戏太难了，我能做作弊吗
以什么方式作弊 ?
感谢您的回复。我想我也许可以跳过一些小游戏，直接进入小游戏的胜利
你不能跳过事情，这将破坏很多触发器。
ok,thank you
so i tryed loading it in joiplay, managed to download it but upon loading the game i was met with a black screen with yellow and white text saying syntax error unexpected token? and i cant move further than that. any thing i should do?
never mind i didn't have the rpg maker plugin installed
new problem: i cant do anything after reaching the second room. cant save cant gamble cant leave. anyone know what i should do?
Weird, it should be working maybe you botch something
I tried re downloading it and it is still broken
when it breaks it says: "Failed to load img/pictures/T%C3%A9nevor%C3%AB%20S2.png"
When might there be an android version?
Joiplay will solve your issues.
谢谢，终于更新了，非常喜欢它
没问题
awesome
Not a big fan of WG but the rest of the game is great!
Randomness seems to be the focus of the game? I cant say if I really like it but at least it doesnt bother me
A review of every game:
-Head/tails: fair
-Exp chase: fun, the boss should be stunned a bit after the QTE
-clue chase: horrible first time, and even after it didnt really improved (the timer is useless)
-Blackjack: I didnt understand what the card in the shop does?
-RPG: the ennemies scales way too quick, counter is your only way to survive an encounter with more than 2
-waves: pretty fun, 1.30 min is long tho
-forest escape: hard pass for me, the sound isnt clear
-Expansion cards: fun, reminded me of Growing Rivalry
-Ball toss: If you're only supposed to mash space, its literally impossible
Also I was expecting something for the maid room, or at least the option to growth her
Hey wwwarter:
1) the game is not finished so no ending yet
2) Height influence is already added for Alisa game and Celestria game in V0.4 ( Patreon Version)
3) V0.4 the Patreon version has a height wager increase for higher bets.
4) Again V0.4 has low quality mode that removes the weather effects that's causing the issue
5) The secret key has multiple ways to be used, returning the key isn't the real path.
6) Again Celestria's game scales with your height the bigger you are the easier it becomes, I also nerfed it in V0.4.
1) Will not answer this.
2) Alisa isn't restrained?? it's not sm
3) they already have
4) Randomess isn't always better
5) No some people like WG so she will stay, It's same answer if someone ask me to remove FMG or BE or whatever.
6) This isn't a visual novel adding reaction emotion and more will increase work load 10 times. This is content creep and will not happen.
7) Same as point 5.
8) No cause of lore reasons.
9) same as point 6.
when will the android version release if ever?
no V0.4 for us? :´)
Version V0.5 is not released yet.
There's A LOT of randomness in this game. Not just the typical games of chance like blackjack and coin flips, but nearly every game has a feeling of the house being stacked against you with arbitrary gotchas.
This almost hostile randomness is turned up to 11 with the secrets in this game. If I had not sought out the walkthru on the discord channel, there's no way I would have figured out any of the secrets. This is firstly because triggering some of the pieces to unlock the secrets is gated behind multiple layers of random chance. But then what's most egrigous is that there's next to no feedback that the interactables for the secrets are indeed interactable. No sounds, no sprite changes, nothing. I have no idea how these secrets are intended to be discovered beyond random chance.
The reliance on randomness and generally high skill floor of much of the minigames indicates that save scumming is expected. It's actively disincentivized by the fact that saving costs height after game 7. Which is fine, thoughtful choices and all that. But what's frustrating is that there is no load save function in any of the menus. I have to close the game entirely to reload a save. Needlessly frustrating.
Since the game relies so heavily on directional input for many of it's games (diagonal movement is faster and can't reliably be done by mouse input; qte sequences require directional input), it'd be a huge accessibility impovement to allow WASD for directional movement. I don't enjoy switching my right hand back and forth from mouse and keyboard.
An option for battle animation speed would be really appreciated since Determination is practically necessary to win most fights and it's animation is obnoxiously long.
The story and character design is quite well done. The consistency of the AI generated assets is impressive.
Hi BlazeDummy,
Yes this game has a lot of randomness it's a gambit after all.
And most games are not stacked against you, Most games will be easy to complete by just knowledge or skill. (was confirmed by decent amount of discord)
For secrets yes they are hard to find as it's community effort and people like it.
It makes everyone work together as a community goal and it's good.
And only 1 secret has a randomized element everything else it's 100% change if found.
Save scumming isn't expected as the game has been beaten on Lunatic mode where you can't even save. (all girls are knocked out)
I can at a load option that's no problem but will be in V0.5.
WASD is out of the window cause different languages and layout of keyboard
Mobile players etc. If I make it easier for windows I break it for everyone else. so that's a no go.
For combat I will add combat speed option in V0.5
Oh and thank you for playing! ^^
If you have anymore questions or feedback please lemme know.
Thank you for the reasonable reply. I get that people have different tolerances and expectations for different things. Figured you'd appreciate my first impression feedback even tho my expectations aren't entirely aligned with your creative philosophy. Again, I appreciate your character designs and general storyfeel.
Thank you Blazedummy, I will try to do my best to make a great game and I appreciate feedback as long it's constructive and you delivered <3
great game. we will wait for continuation
你还有其他游戏吗
很快《诅咒之塔》将在Patreon上发布（大约3天左右）。
Great game Orachi. Too many complaining in the comments. Lookin forward to v4. Suggestion though. Found secret in the snow game couple times but I can't find it again. Stairs don't show. Found paper about fire in piggy level. Other secrets no clue. Don't want walkthrough, just want hints. Maybe donate function option to let girls give hints? Maybe donate also bring back girls that got small? Make em happy if they are back and give you a hint that way?
Hey Clown! Thanks for playing <3
Donating option can't bring girls back cause lore reasons. For other secret you have to discover Syrianna secret and complete the secret ending of Lyra's Quest to unlock the 3rd and in V0.4 the 4th secret
Aight, no game hints I getcha. Try again in V4 for me then. Good to know what you said. I gotta make stairs work again, find what I did first time. No feedback in game that tells it. Saw you put out other game too, lookin forward to try.
i play this game but is really dificult can you pls do a easier option (sorry bad inglish)
Confused, there is a easy mode already? is it still to hard?
o its that so sorry i will check it out thank
a and is the easy mode on patreon bucuse im from argentina so i dont have dollars to pay i
V0.3 has test version of easy mode, on patreon you have the completed version in V0.4.
So you have to wait friend
Can you make this playable on Mac?
V0.4 is playable on mac on Patreon
could you consider making this playable in browser or an Android version as i don't have anything that runs on windows?
Browser probably not for android I know already few players that play this game using Joiplay on Android
oh ok thanks
so i cant run joiplay on my chromebook is there any other way i can play this?
That's using Linux based OS (ChromeOS), That's not something I can make work.
Sorry, there might be tools around the interwebs to solve it for you.
But honestly I don't know.
Btw Orachi update the discord link it expired just to let you know : )
Done thanks
What program have you used to get the images for the game?
Custom Checkpoint and Model in stable diffusion
With pre drawn girls before generation.
