Dungeon of the Devourer - Hunger
Dungeon of the Devourer: Hunger is a spin off of the main game, but focused on survival mechanics.
Play as any of several characters from DotD and survive as long as you can! You'll have to manage your Weight and Hunger by eating food you find or create!
Every 5 seconds your Hunger meter goes down. If you have nothing left, then your Weight or Health pools will decrease instead! Some foods or monsters will fill up your Weight meter, causing your character to Fatten up or become Immobile at certain values.
The gameplay is like a rogue-like RPG, and rounds can end quickly if your not careful! Loot, NPCs, and monsters are randomly generated to keep multiple play throughs unique and interesting.
You can find other DotD characters as well to recruit and use as emergency food! Having more party members means an additional mouth to feed.
The game right now only explores a few areas. Ideally a more fleshed out game would take you around the entirety of the game world.
Don't go crazy on bug reports, this game is just an idea I wanted to iron out.
Things I plan to add:
- More interactions with other characters
- Ability unlocks from shrines that spawn randomly
- Bigger world to explore with more defined goals
- New enemy types and rebalancing
If you like any of the ideas here and want to see them in the main game, lemme know :)
Have fun :)

I tried the game out and it seems fun but when you play as Nessie and feed her to keep her hunger from getting low, the game crashes
Got a fix for this coming out soon :)
Thanks, hopefully it is soon because it is fun to play as Nessie since she's not playable in the main game
I'm glad you're still working on your games. I was worried that you were going to cancel the main game since there were some concerning comments about adding a price tag on the game, and because there hasn't been a updated test build after over a month. I do hope you and the game are doing well.
As for any bugs, the only issue I found was when eating any food as Polly or Nessie, it brings out an error, stopping the game. https://ibb.co/ksJ3fnmq
There are some outdated arts that are in the game, such as Polly not looking like a frog for her battle sprites, and Gigi not having her immobile art icon.
I'm thinking of an idea to add the character's VN art near their hunger meter and slowly getting bigger as their weight increase. I've seen some RPG maker games that have the picture of the character usually near the corner, and as they get bigger, their picture updates to show progress. Just an idea for the future, and here's what it could look like:

Once again, I hope you're doing well, and I hope you've made great progress on the main game!
Haha, yeah there were some demoralizing comments, but that's par for the course in game dev. I wouldn't abandoned my baby though!
Truth is, I've been struggling to come up with some fresh ideas for the slime zone, so I've been taking a break for a bit. Let the creative juices swell up again, so to speak. If you, or anyone reading, have some, please share!
I've been also taking the time to plan out how I'm going to go forward and how big I want the rest of the game to be. Bigger is always better, but I want to wrap the game eventually xD
Thanks for the bug reports and feedback! Unfortunately for your idea, the VNs would take up a lot of space on the screen, so it's not something I'm planning on adding right now. But I'll keep it in mind :)
Thanks for checking in!
I don't have a lot of ideas, but there's one you must add in the slime zone involving Jill to drink slime, then she grows quicker than usual until she becomes green. I also hope for a scenario involving Issabella to somehow get her to drink slime and also get big and green as well.
One last thing, and out of curiosity, will this Zavia character make her appearance in the main game? Judging on her appearance, she already looks hot to me, and I already kinda want to see her inflated or fatten.
Regardless, I wish you luck on the rest of the main game.
Not a bad idea, I could do something like that :)
Also yes, Zaiva will be in the game soon!
Could you make it downloadable? Also are you planning on working with the game anymore or have you went to other projects?
I do plan on working on this still. The main game is still my focus, but I've been taking a break on that lately. I just uploaded a downloadable version of it!
Are you still working on this game? If so, could you maybe add the option to lower hunger?
It's been a while since I've updated it, but I've been meaning to!
fix the save function
What's wrong with it?
Would love to download the game :3
Thet hapend after i open items in start of the game
(i was had no item).
is there a way to dowlnload this?
not currently. I haven't updated in a while, this versions been pretty "stable", so I could if there was demand for it
is losing 100 hp every 5 seconds a set in stone feature? I just played for the first time, all I got from the chests was a single apple and so I died at the second room. Also, fighting enemies seems more of a waste in terms of time other than anything else
If you keep your weight and hunger meter up, you won't lose HP. Eating things you find and cooking food will help ! You can also buy items. Fighting enemies can drop cooking items and exp. But it's not always the best choice.
for whatever reason the game is stuck just loading forever.
This happens to me sometimes and I gotta reload the page or restart the browser. not sure why exactly, I assume because the file size
any plans of a downloadable version that can be played offline
Right now I've been uploading many versions quickly, but once I get to a happy place / stable build Imma package a windows version
Are there plans for art of characters as they gain weight, like in the main game? Still hoping to see Luci'lianna's ass get huge.
Right now I don't show the VN busts because I want to add a lot of characters that don't have them. I do wish to "upgrade" Luci's behind in the main game tho :) She's just on the back burner of art I want to get.
