As long as all other requirements are checked, this should lead to the next growth event. But there is a rare bug, only reported by 2 players so far, which I haven't been able to recreate and pin-point yet.
I hope this is fixed in the next update, since parts of the code regarding growth are rewritten, but if not, then I would maybe need a save-file of the faulty state to recreate the error.
Just started playing and noticed an issue that hurts immersion. Greg is described as "towering" but when he's first shown, he's of height with Gina.
Additionally, his head is smaller than Gina's even if their visible heights were adjusted. With illustrated characters, there's the concept "how many heads tall" the character is. It's a useful metric to convey how tall a character is at a glance because a person's head doesn't change much size as they grow. And for a game like this where GAINS are everything, being able to properly compare character sizes is kinda important. Typically, an adult woman would be 6-7 heads tall and a man would be 7-8, but these numbers also depend on art style.
If these portraits are AI generated, I understand there's only so much you can do, but scaling the images so the heads are roughly the same size would go a long way for visual consistency.
Yeah, heigth levels really are a mess, especially on the old images and scenes when I literally had no idea what I was even doing there 😅But I already upscaled Greg a bit in the next version. Wouldn't be fun outgrowing him if he starts so little.
So on the new images I already have a "Size-Chart" in PS, adjusting height and making sure the proportions at least match mostly, but the old ones will only receive a scaling. Not like I'd get my update finished anytime soon if I rework all my old images now extensively.
I'm sorry, it's not in my plans for the near future. I haven't dabbled into the translation function yet and I have my yet many things needing to get finished in the game that take priority.
Hi, news are mostly posted on patreon or my Discord. Depends on how long the image-generation and refinement takes. But I'd say roughly 2 weeks till the next patreon-release and maybe 3-4 weeks till the public then.
Definitely still working on it :D Just a lot of work there
So I've just played the update today, and there is new stuff (i.e. the park, Lucina, etc) however I get to Angel Gregs warning about saves, and then tells me about the second update? Is that it? Didn't recruit stella as a fighter or anything. Didn't go to the next strength level after the out of 24 one, is my game broken or is that genuinely it?
Greetings, I hope the game isn't broken. Unless it's some kind of bug I'm not yet aware of.
Generally speaking, there are evets that trigger through time while others trigger through certain progress. The save warning should mean one thing: There is a time-based event coming up that's planed but not in the game (next Xici-Event I assume), which would add triggers that will miss on a later date then. Any save-game beyond that date will probably cause errors in the next update or have you miss content. You can still continue playing, just not use that save created later on.
If you haven't recruited Stella yet, that means however there is a lot of content left. Reaching Strength-Level 3 opens up many possibilities and activities in the world along with scripted events. Recruiting Stella at the brothel and having reached the Strength-Requirement will check the condition for the next Level.
Thanks for the reply. However the game doesn't allow me to recruit stella? When I've only got to speak to her once more it ends the game telling me about the next update. Any ideas?
Maybe I need to look into this. Never heard of anything like that before. If you'd be so kind, maybe work that problem through with me, since I wanna get any bugs out.
So the game ends? Like forces you back to the main-menu without any error-message?
Does this happen in between any dialogue? Or on the mornings in the apartment? Because the only planned 'back to main-menu jump" would be on the still missing Xici-Event on day 49, giving players the choice to jump to the ending-screen or continue their game for free exploration.
Yeah that was the day and the Xici event. It's became apparent that I've just been a silly goose and started talking to stella too late on in the game. Sorry for wasting your time. Just wanna say that you've made a really high quality game here, and I can't wait for more updates (Hopefully I can figure these next ones out on my own lol) Thanks for the help, would never have figured it out if you didn't say.
Don't sweat it, it's fine. And thanks for the nice feedback. I might expand the tooltips in the quest-screen a bit. To maybe give a little more guidance then. So you did help me after all.
One last thing and I'll leave you alone. Can you consider this suggestion?
My point was that there's FMG, but with Jade it looked like you made her taller, thicker, and with bigger boobs kind of exactly the same as Gina's body type. Given that Jade is the fast martial artist type, I was thinking you could approach her future appearance from the idea of having a diverse range of muscular female body types. So I think that muscled-up Jade would have kind of a female Enzi build. Somewhat slimmer compared to Gina but more shredded.
Her future build something a little bit like this: https://imgur.com/a/iY287gz but obvious you would keep Jade's cuter more innocent characteristics intact.
You´re not bothering me at all. I value your suggestions highly, even if I can´t promise to act upon each of them. Some elements of the game are decided by the patrons and others are dictated by the story-line I thought up, so Jades body-type might not even be a result of her own choice, as her method of growth probably won´t be classical strength-training like Gina. But that´s again a lil bit in the future and since it´s part of the main-story I won´t dabble too deep into possible spoilers.
But I don´t dislike the idea of her having a different body-type and her "innocent characteristics" should try to be preserved regardless of how she ends up. Hopefully my artistic skills are up to that task..
Also saw some of your Jade images in the "work in progress" folder and is that what Jade is going to look like in the future or is that more of Gina imagining things? Because while I'd love to see Jade get more muscular, she is also a teenager and her "future" build looks way more busty, thick and heavy than I feel her type of martial arts would favor? Not to mention in your images, she looks like she's aged about 5 years as she looks a lot taller. I would think she would experience the type of fmg that gives her Enzi's build of being shredded, cut, with bigger biceps, and certainly a bit thicker legs but not nearly as bulky and big breasted as you have her in those preview AI images. I would imagine Jade to look more like this in her future FMG: https://imgur.com/a/e2woP5l I know that this is your 'work in progress" folder but do you plan to change Jade's future FMG build? I kinda like the idea of having different female muscular body types much like the diverse muscular body types your male characters have.
Heh, AishaGreyrat... Thought I´d recognized that name. Good to see you're still kicking :D
So, can't believe I forgot to clear out my work in progress folder the second time before shipping out a version to the public. Kind of a beginners mistake I guess. So take those images, keep them as your "forbidden treasure-trove", but keep in mind that those are "work-in-progress". Some will be used, some are only experiments or pose-references, most will be altered and some discarded.
As for Jade, she will grow later on, that´s certain, but how and how much, that remains to be seen. Definitely don´t want her look too "aged", but that can partly happen due to the changed body-type.
As for romance, if you don´t think Gina is at least a little bit "bi" or maybe interested in her bro, you haven´t paid much attention till now :P
Still writing so many routes will be tedious, so let´s see how far we can go on that. But it is planned to let the player have a few steamy scenes before they would have to commit (or maybe harem-route.. oh the options..). In the next update we could maybe see a cautious start on romance with Mike (I know, who in their right mind would choose Mike, but I have this cute scene in mind that needs to be written) or Jade, as I wanna slowly start with that content.
Any chance you could expand the romance options? You say the right answers with your romance options and accumulate affection points. Each person has a "route" and if you choose the correct answers and end up with one of them you gradually are rewarded with 2-3 sex scenes often paced out evenly in their route. You can do this for Michael, Jonathan and Greg and some of the other men in the series. Or you can even add some of the women as potential romance options. Like a lesbian route.
Also just curious if you're open to an incest route with Greg because you pretty much never see that in any visual novels, especially with a muscular heroine and muscular big bro.
The update info says that you can go up to lvl 3 by now but for some reason it just doesn't go past two in my playthrough (my strengh is at about 55 of the required 24). Do I just have to keep playing, is this intended, is something wrong with my game or is the update info really just about the patreon version (is there even one?)? I could very well imagine that I'm just being impatient or retarded at this point though.
Hi, definitely not retarded. Other people met the same road-block. While the first growth stages are only tied to strength-gain, Lvl. 3 and 4 require some progress in the main-story line as well (just need some story elements presented before my girls get too big, otherwise it won´t make sense later). There´s a little button with requirements in the top-right corner, but for Lvl 3: Check in on Stella at the brothel a few more times.
That´s because of the secret age-check. My program reads your Amazon and PayPal-Details and only grants access to the brothel, if you´re.. :P
Ok, seriously... You need to speak to Mike in the gym. Go through all the dialogue-options. Once he reveals the location to Gina, it can be selected from the city-screen.
Hi, took a while. I might have found a possible error, but I´m not 100% sure. Changed a few things and recompiled. It works on my phone so far, so I hope for the best. Uploaded just now.
Let me know if the problem still persists though. (Although if it does, then I´m truly at my wits end..)
Hi, detailed guide on my Discord if you´re interested. But short description would be: "Talk to Enzi multiple times about Kung-Fu-Training, then the dojo-introduction should be available on Mo/We/Fr in town.", "Dream is accessable after day 43 if you had the 'work'-talk with Stella at the brothel and met Bobby through exploration"
Ok, that´s bad. I will try to look into that, but gonna be honest right away. I understand very little about how Renpy/Python-Code is compiled for android, since I mostly let the compiler do it´s work. If I find anything I´ll get back to you.
Hi, sorry it took a while. I might have found a possible error, but I´m not 100% sure. Changed a few things and recompiled. It works on my phone so far, so I hope for the best. Uploaded just now.

Thanks for the complimemt. Sadly I'm super slow at working with the images, so updates take some time. But the Update 1 is already out for Patreons and public-release will follow on the 8th of August.
so i played the game but never saw the blonde hair woman in the first picture and never really got gina to be really muscular still a twig mainly what did i do wrong?
Hi, got a few pathways on this game and it´s easy to miss a some events due to the open world-ish nature of it. The blonde woman is found through the exploration events. There´s a little "guide-section" on the Discord on how to get to the best stuff in the game (fixed the discord link by now, expires every month..)
But since my new update is released in a few days, maybe opt for trying a run then.
Great story intruiging characters and dialouges amazing art style I really enjoyed it. I'm exited for the next update , i need to humiliate mike in armwrestling :DDD good luck <3
Very entertaining and great writing style. Awesome job. Hopefully this becomes popular enough that you can get some artists to help out with this. Because so far I would say the story is excellent and the best part even, so getting some good art paired with it would make this even better.
Aight so, There aren't many FMG games out there (makes sense, pretty niche fetish) but I'm all for this one, it's super fun.
The dialogue is seriously engaging. I have never pressed skip *once* all 4 of my walkthroughs.
the pacing at the start is a little slow, especially since I found Diana on the very end of the first playthrough.
The artstyle is FANTASTIC, every character introduced so far really gets my blood going, both females and males, except Mike and James, which I don't like as Characters. Can't wait to DOMINATE them as Gina the next update(s)
all in all I'm now heavily invested in this, and on my paycheck I'm making sure to support, definitely putting in 30 euros because this is totally worth it.
I highly encourage everyone to play. However: Aside from the "strength" stat, the rest don't seem to matter much?
I could not raise "composure" at all, assertiveness and kindness didn't seem to do anything to the dialogue, Gina was always mellow in her tone, I thought it'd shape her dialogue to be more, and excuse me for the language, "mommy" like with kindness and more "dominatrix" with assertiveness but it didn't change anything really, I hope this feature is expanded (ha) upon on updates, no matter how long it takes because dev will need to write separate dialogue trees and that's A LOT of work (going back to why this game is seriously worth it, dialogue is super engaging, especially when "gold" fell in the shop *wink wink*)
all in all, and sorry for the lengthy review, I give this a 10/10. and I can't wait for the future of the gym
Hi, glad you enjoyed it so far and never apologize for lengthy reviews. I love hearing from my players, both praise and critique. This is all new and very exciting for me.
Wrote it in another post, but I´ll gladly copy it for you too: The secondary stats are only triggers for unlocking dialogue options so far, but I plan to expand them through time. I want to use two primary dialogue "path" based on secondary stats in the future, like a good girl and bad girl (not evil, more like dominant/aggressive) route. This would mostly impact the way Gina faces and lives out her muscle-fetish and desires.
I gotta say, I really fell in love with your game. There aren't a lot of fmg games around, so we poor gentlemen will accept breadcrumbs, and then you casually barge in and shown us gold, and now I want to make my own ones.
I have played it thrice (don't judge me), on android (don't judge me) and mac (don't judge me). I ended up developing a strategy to get the quickest beef, which goes: Reroll until you get Diana first try, train whenever your exh=0, quit the job ASAP, spend your day training and rerolling rests, and always, always spend time with Gregg.
Ok, critic time. Like I said, Gyna's Gym is great on a scale of fmg game content quality. From the ones I've played, I'd rate them based on three factors: story, gameplay, and fmg.
The story is, by far, the strongest aspect of Gyna's Gym. I can't help rereading the witty banters even after knowing the fuller picture. Nerdy Gyna wanting to be big is just too adorable! The gym members are a bit odd at the moment, but that's mainly because you don't get to interact with them all that much, and outside of the main story, they're like strangers. Mike surprisingly stands out, which shows how even a little interaction can go a long way.
Compared to the other fmg vn I've played, the dialogue and story aren't on the nose in the slightest; aka, too direct, descriptive at all time, which lets nothing to the imagination. The skip button never tempted me, and that shows your writing skills.
Same goes for storytelling; the theycallmegevanno involvement with the Greatarm family is puzzling, and I spent my first playthrough rummaging through the bureau to find more. A simple plot in appearance, but one that leads to interesting bits of story and gameplay. Also, Gyna's mother size is a hot detail.
As for next update, I am a bit stuck with the idea of "rising to stardom," as I imagine that would attract some rather, ahem, different clientele; I wonder how that will mesh with Gregg and the patrons. You can't exactly stream in secret and use it as publicity, and Gyna will have to confront pure-minded big Gregg at one point or another. However, your writing have proven to suspend my disbelief frightening well, and I trust in what you will come up with :D
Now, let's talk gameplay. 0.1.2. lays some bases, but only the training mechanics actually do something. That is, grow bigger and unlock new storylines, and to be fair, that's as far as most fmg game goes. There's not much going for anything else. The four emotional stats don't do anything, too. I wished they would impact the dialogues, but the amount of dialogue to write will become ambitious. A more pragmatic approach would be to help our protag in other fields than just str building, such as chatting or putting order in the bureau, and proceed the game with different strategies. They could also be used for achieving other stats, as hinted by Enzo's invitation.
And finally, the one we've all been waiting for: the fmg. Aka, how much you will enjoy Gyna's shenanigans. Aka, the hotspots. The answer is.... waiting for the next update. And considering the 3-4 month you needed to make this one, I don't think we hear from you anytime soon.
So far, there are only two really major scenes; push-ups Gyna, which is good, and, flexing Diana, which goes straight to the stars. There are also multiple teasy scenes which I assume is the beginning of something bigger. The "fmg to story" ratio does seem a bit weak in 0.1.2, but I'm assuming it's because Gyna has yet to reach the bigger sizes; aka, there will be more "fmg per story" as we get bigger. That's why, while I wish there were more scenes, I'm fine with the amount we currently have. Plus, in the future, if Gyna goes streaming, it could get steamy!
Apart from the story, gameplay, and Horny, I have a few nitpicks:
—Both exhaustion 3 and 4 are represented by "fatigued," which isn't quite accurate and should be differentiated. The stat is also a bit glitchy at the beginning. I once got reset to "none;" (at which point, I promptly proceeded to exploit it and smash the training button. You never know when it will happen again!).
— Most importantly, the scenes should have more dynamic flexing where there is motion, aka, it the size and shape should change as we move under tension. I've seen it done in Bayshore Academy, with the Elena and Sophia paths (vn, on itch). It appears to be pretty easy to implement, but boy does it awakens something!
And woah, look at that. I just wrote an entire essay, didn't I. If you made it here, thanks, I hope it was worth the read. If not...
TL;DR
Some nitpicks here and there, but overally, I really like the game and the directions you've taken! I'm excited with what you will come up with. Kudos!
Thanks for the legthy praise and the critical input. I value both immensely and I´d be ecstatic if I actually motivated a new content-creator to start his own journey.
You make some valid points, although some of these are already on my to-do list. It´s just so much on that damn list already T_T Might need a partner in the future..
The secondary stats are only triggers for unlocking dialogue options so far, but I plan to expand them through time. I want to use two primary dialogue "path" based on secondary stats in the future, like a good girl and bad girl (not evil, more like dominant/aggressive) route. This would mostly impact the way Gina faces and lives out her muscle-fetish and desires.
And more fmg is definitely on that list too, just taking my sweet time with world-building and introducing characters before Gina gets too big. I want Ginas growth to be part of other characters storylines too, so yeah.. gotta bring those in the game first.
Pretty easy to implement flexing at movement, huh? Maybe I´ll talk to KBro again how he manages that, because the only ideas I have would take a lot of effort to implement. Guess my days of pestering the Bayshore masters aren´t nearly done yet..
Oh, and maybe you´ll write the strategy guide once I´m finished. How to grow fastest and find all the hidden scenes :D
Thanks for the praise. While I planed to add a few more game-mechanics, I guess most of the game-time is spend in story-driven events. So, probably an epilogue-style-ending?
But honestly, it´s not like I´m a guy with great plan. More like a ton of loose ideas. So maybe I´ll decide with my patrons if I get to that point.
I mostly genrated those on pixai.art (free to use) with the trusty old Anything 4.5 Model, but I´m also doing some post-editing on StableDiffusion and Photoshop. And if I say some, I mean actually a lot of post-editing..
Also, just echo-ing one of the other comments in here but having romance routes with the guys and a forbidden blood-related sibling romance route with Greg sounds really hot. Plenty of visual novels with that sort of thing. I looked at some of the game's image files and there's one called Gina's dream. Is that Greg in her dream?
Sorry but Your Discord gives me a quarantine warning when I try to join. I really want to join, but I don't feel comfortable clicking this until you clear up the source of this "suspicious activity" message.
Gotta admit, I´m at my wits end on that one. Wasn´t able to replicate the error and other people could join over the last day without getting a warning.
Maybe try again and send me a detailed error-message, otherwise I don´t even know how to continue there.
Any chance that you can add a muscular brother and muscular younger sister duo? I love muscular siblings and we almost never see this in any visual novels or manga or anime for that matter.
Just started playing it. Never mind! Any chance you could add a Gina x Greg sex scene where she dominates her brother in the sheets? Would be a dream come true.
You´ll have to be very patient for that to happen, since I needed 3-4 month just to get to this point in the game. But I could imagine something like that too..
Although I wouldn´t force somethig like that on the players. So I imagined making this dependend on the players choices.
We're on the same page. Yeah, the idea would be what you do in all Visual Novels, especially Otome game ones. You say the right answers with your romance options and accumulate affection points. Each person has a "route" and if you choose the correct answers and end up with one of them you gradually are rewarded with 2-3 sex scenes often paced out evenly in their route. You can do this for Michael, Jonathan and Greg and some of the other men in the series. Or you can even add some of the women as potential romance options if you're ok with that as well. I was just asking that you include a blood related brother sister route because you pretty much never see that in any visual novels, especially with a muscular heroine (and muscular romance option).
So it´s true, great minds do think alike. Never played Otome games, but I kind of had it imagined like you described here. Although I wouldn´t set a focus on affection points, simply progress the storylines of the characters and decide acordingly at some point. But I´ll cross that bridge when I come to it.
As for the potencial options: I mean, Gina liking both girls and maybe even Greg is kind of hinted in the game already.
Won´t have to date anyone you don´t like, but there should be the option for some pervy scenes with both sexes. I kind of let my imagination run free with Ginas desires there.
But I´m still in the phase of world-building and introducing all my characters. Will take a while..
Just use joiplay and the ren'py addon it works great on mobile (Android). There's lots of guides on how to use since it's popular. Hope this helps you enjoy your muscles friend.
Good sir, your wish has been my command. After fighting that damn SDK for a while, I managed to get an adroid version up and running. Have fun with it.

As long as all other requirements are checked, this should lead to the next growth event. But there is a rare bug, only reported by 2 players so far, which I haven't been able to recreate and pin-point yet.

Awesome. And yeah, completely understandable on the deadline limitations.
Hello, can you add Russian language?
I'm sorry, it's not in my plans for the near future. I haven't dabbled into the translation function yet and I have my yet many things needing to get finished in the game that take priority.
ну ладно спасибо что ответили
Mabel getting bigger then James would be hilarious
"you are getting beaten by a little girl!"
I'm just wondering, when would the next update release?
Hi, news are mostly posted on patreon or my Discord. Depends on how long the image-generation and refinement takes. But I'd say roughly 2 weeks till the next patreon-release and maybe 3-4 weeks till the public then.
Definitely still working on it :D Just a lot of work there

Cool thanks! Do you have a link to your Patreon? I might become a Patron soon just so I can exert a bit more "influence" on you! Mwa haha.
Also saw some of your Jade images in the "work in progress" folder and is that what Jade is going to look like in the future or is that more of Gina imagining things? Because while I'd love to see Jade get more muscular, she is also a teenager and her "future" build looks way more busty, thick and heavy than I feel her type of martial arts would favor? Not to mention in your images, she looks like she's aged about 5 years as she looks a lot taller.

Some will be used, some are only experiments or pose-references, most will be altered and some discarded.
As for Jade, she will grow later on, that´s certain, but how and how much, that remains to be seen. Definitely don´t want her look too "aged", but that can partly happen due to the changed body-type.
As for romance, if you don´t think Gina is at least a little bit "bi" or maybe interested in her bro, you haven´t paid much attention till now :P
Still writing so many routes will be tedious, so let´s see how far we can go on that. But it is planned to let the player have a few steamy scenes before they would have to commit (or maybe harem-route.. oh the options..). In the next update we could maybe see a cautious start on romance with Mike (I know, who in their right mind would choose Mike, but I have this cute scene in mind that needs to be written) or Jade, as I wanna slowly start with that content.
Здравствуйте, вы можете со мной связаться по дискорду просто мне нужна помощь по twine
Any chance you could expand the romance options? You say the right answers with your romance options and accumulate affection points. Each person has a "route" and if you choose the correct answers and end up with one of them you gradually are rewarded with 2-3 sex scenes often paced out evenly in their route. You can do this for Michael, Jonathan and Greg and some of the other men in the series. Or you can even add some of the women as potential romance options. Like a lesbian route.
Also just curious if you're open to an incest route with Greg because you pretty much never see that in any visual novels, especially with a muscular heroine and muscular big bro.
The update info says that you can go up to lvl 3 by now but for some reason it just doesn't go past two in my playthrough (my strengh is at about 55 of the required 24). Do I just have to keep playing, is this intended, is something wrong with my game or is the update info really just about the patreon version (is there even one?)? I could very well imagine that I'm just being impatient or retarded at this point though.
Hi, definitely not retarded. Other people met the same road-block. While the first growth stages are only tied to strength-gain, Lvl. 3 and 4 require some progress in the main-story line as well (just need some story elements presented before my girls get too big, otherwise it won´t make sense later). There´s a little button with requirements in the top-right corner, but for Lvl 3: Check in on Stella at the brothel a few more times.
I just realized that I forgot about the requirements interface (conclusion: retard indeed). PS: Gigachad for responding in under a week
I cannot seem to get the brothel to even show up
That´s because of the secret age-check. My program reads your Amazon and PayPal-Details and only grants access to the brothel, if you´re.. :P
Ok, seriously... You need to speak to Mike in the gym. Go through all the dialogue-options. Once he reveals the location to Gina, it can be selected from the city-screen.
I love this game so much! Already going through multiple playthroughs, but so sad that android doesn't have the update yet :( Will we get it soon?
This android thing is really going over my head T_T
I´ll try a few things today and do a recompile. Hope I can fix this, but hope is all that remains..
It's okay! Thanks so much for what you do <3
We appreciate you very much regardless!
Hi, took a while. I might have found a possible error, but I´m not 100% sure. Changed a few things and recompiled. It works on my phone so far, so I hope for the best. Uploaded just now.
Let me know if the problem still persists though. (Although if it does, then I´m truly at my wits end..)
I don't know how to go to the dojo either. I didn't see any dreams🤔🤔
Hi, detailed guide on my Discord if you´re interested. But short description would be: "Talk to Enzi multiple times about Kung-Fu-Training, then the dojo-introduction should be available on Mo/We/Fr in town.", "Dream is accessable after day 43 if you had the 'work'-talk with Stella at the brothel and met Bobby through exploration"
And I try to restart and uninstal the game but nothing helps
Ok, that´s bad. I will try to look into that, but gonna be honest right away. I understand very little about how Renpy/Python-Code is compiled for android, since I mostly let the compiler do it´s work.
If I find anything I´ll get back to you.
Ok thanks
I dont know its my phone or some kind of bug but when I try to play on mobile on some point screen looks like this and dont change
Hi, sorry it took a while. I might have found a possible error, but I´m not 100% sure. Changed a few things and recompiled. It works on my phone so far, so I hope for the best. Uploaded just now.
Let me know if the problem still persists though. (Although if it does, then I´m truly at my wits end..
Awesome! Love the sense of humor in the writing :)
A great update im exited for the next one , I really liked the dojo part and exited for the boss which is coming in the next update
Thanks. Feels really good hearing from people who enjoyed it.
So far great game. But when do you plan to update it? 😅
Thanks for the complimemt. Sadly I'm super slow at working with the images, so updates take some time. But the Update 1 is already out for Patreons and public-release will follow on the 8th of August.
yeah saw that just subscribed to your patreon
so i played the game but never saw the blonde hair woman in the first picture and never really got gina to be really muscular still a twig mainly what did i do wrong?
Hi, got a few pathways on this game and it´s easy to miss a some events due to the open world-ish nature of it. The blonde woman is found through the exploration events. There´s a little "guide-section" on the Discord on how to get to the best stuff in the game (fixed the discord link by now, expires every month..)
But since my new update is released in a few days, maybe opt for trying a run then.
i played the non patreon version so not sure if I can get Gina really buff or not
I just wanted to let you know if it hasn't been said already that the discord link has expired.
I want to know how to play it on Android
Hi, the ginas.gym-release.apk is the install-file for android devices.
Really good game, especially the writing! Will follow.
Really enjoyed the game and the story line so far. Also, the Easter Eggs are a nice addition!
Great story intruiging characters and dialouges amazing art style I really enjoyed it. I'm exited for the next update , i need to humiliate mike in armwrestling :DDD good luck <3
Very entertaining and great writing style. Awesome job. Hopefully this becomes popular enough that you can get some artists to help out with this. Because so far I would say the story is excellent and the best part even, so getting some good art paired with it would make this even better.
Hope you feel inspired to keep up with this.
Aight so,
There aren't many FMG games out there (makes sense, pretty niche fetish) but I'm all for this one, it's super fun.
The dialogue is seriously engaging. I have never pressed skip *once* all 4 of my walkthroughs.
the pacing at the start is a little slow, especially since I found Diana on the very end of the first playthrough.
The artstyle is FANTASTIC, every character introduced so far really gets my blood going, both females and males, except Mike and James, which I don't like as Characters. Can't wait to DOMINATE them as Gina the next update(s)
all in all I'm now heavily invested in this, and on my paycheck I'm making sure to support, definitely putting in 30 euros because this is totally worth it.
I highly encourage everyone to play.
However:
Aside from the "strength" stat, the rest don't seem to matter much?
I could not raise "composure" at all, assertiveness and kindness didn't seem to do anything to the dialogue, Gina was always mellow in her tone, I thought it'd shape her dialogue to be more, and excuse me for the language, "mommy" like with kindness and more "dominatrix" with assertiveness but it didn't change anything really, I hope this feature is expanded (ha) upon on updates, no matter how long it takes because dev will need to write separate dialogue trees and that's A LOT of work (going back to why this game is seriously worth it, dialogue is super engaging, especially when "gold" fell in the shop *wink wink*)
all in all, and sorry for the lengthy review, I give this a 10/10.
and I can't wait for the future of the gym
Hi, glad you enjoyed it so far and never apologize for lengthy reviews. I love hearing from my players, both praise and critique. This is all new and very exciting for me.
Wrote it in another post, but I´ll gladly copy it for you too: The secondary stats are only triggers for unlocking dialogue options so far, but I plan to expand them through time. I want to use two primary dialogue "path" based on secondary stats in the future, like a good girl and bad girl (not evil, more like dominant/aggressive) route. This would mostly impact the way Gina faces and lives out her muscle-fetish and desires.
ohh I can’t wait for the assertive/dominatrix route
Gentle Amazoness could also vibe really well, I’m all for it!!
I gotta say, I really fell in love with your game. There aren't a lot of fmg games around, so we poor gentlemen will accept breadcrumbs, and then you casually barge in and shown us gold, and now I want to make my own ones.
I have played it thrice (don't judge me), on android (don't judge me) and mac (don't judge me). I ended up developing a strategy to get the quickest beef, which goes: Reroll until you get Diana first try, train whenever your exh=0, quit the job ASAP, spend your day training and rerolling rests, and always, always spend time with Gregg.
Ok, critic time. Like I said, Gyna's Gym is great on a scale of fmg game content quality. From the ones I've played, I'd rate them based on three factors: story, gameplay, and fmg.
The story is, by far, the strongest aspect of Gyna's Gym. I can't help rereading the witty banters even after knowing the fuller picture. Nerdy Gyna wanting to be big is just too adorable! The gym members are a bit odd at the moment, but that's mainly because you don't get to interact with them all that much, and outside of the main story, they're like strangers. Mike surprisingly stands out, which shows how even a little interaction can go a long way.
Compared to the other fmg vn I've played, the dialogue and story aren't on the nose in the slightest; aka, too direct, descriptive at all time, which lets nothing to the imagination. The skip button never tempted me, and that shows your writing skills.
Same goes for storytelling; the theycallmegevanno involvement with the Greatarm family is puzzling, and I spent my first playthrough rummaging through the bureau to find more. A simple plot in appearance, but one that leads to interesting bits of story and gameplay. Also, Gyna's mother size is a hot detail.
As for next update, I am a bit stuck with the idea of "rising to stardom," as I imagine that would attract some rather, ahem, different clientele; I wonder how that will mesh with Gregg and the patrons. You can't exactly stream in secret and use it as publicity, and Gyna will have to confront pure-minded big Gregg at one point or another. However, your writing have proven to suspend my disbelief frightening well, and I trust in what you will come up with :D
Now, let's talk gameplay. 0.1.2. lays some bases, but only the training mechanics actually do something. That is, grow bigger and unlock new storylines, and to be fair, that's as far as most fmg game goes. There's not much going for anything else. The four emotional stats don't do anything, too. I wished they would impact the dialogues, but the amount of dialogue to write will become ambitious. A more pragmatic approach would be to help our protag in other fields than just str building, such as chatting or putting order in the bureau, and proceed the game with different strategies. They could also be used for achieving other stats, as hinted by Enzo's invitation.
And finally, the one we've all been waiting for: the fmg. Aka, how much you will enjoy Gyna's shenanigans. Aka, the hotspots. The answer is.... waiting for the next update. And considering the 3-4 month you needed to make this one, I don't think we hear from you anytime soon.
So far, there are only two really major scenes; push-ups Gyna, which is good, and, flexing Diana, which goes straight to the stars. There are also multiple teasy scenes which I assume is the beginning of something bigger. The "fmg to story" ratio does seem a bit weak in 0.1.2, but I'm assuming it's because Gyna has yet to reach the bigger sizes; aka, there will be more "fmg per story" as we get bigger. That's why, while I wish there were more scenes, I'm fine with the amount we currently have. Plus, in the future, if Gyna goes streaming, it could get steamy!
Apart from the story, gameplay, and Horny, I have a few nitpicks:
—Both exhaustion 3 and 4 are represented by "fatigued," which isn't quite accurate and should be differentiated. The stat is also a bit glitchy at the beginning. I once got reset to "none;" (at which point, I promptly proceeded to exploit it and smash the training button. You never know when it will happen again!).
— Most importantly, the scenes should have more dynamic flexing where there is motion, aka, it the size and shape should change as we move under tension. I've seen it done in Bayshore Academy, with the Elena and Sophia paths (vn, on itch). It appears to be pretty easy to implement, but boy does it awakens something!
And woah, look at that. I just wrote an entire essay, didn't I. If you made it here, thanks, I hope it was worth the read. If not...
TL;DR
Some nitpicks here and there, but overally, I really like the game and the directions you've taken! I'm excited with what you will come up with. Kudos!
Thanks for the legthy praise and the critical input. I value both immensely and I´d be ecstatic if I actually motivated a new content-creator to start his own journey.
You make some valid points, although some of these are already on my to-do list. It´s just so much on that damn list already T_T Might need a partner in the future..
The secondary stats are only triggers for unlocking dialogue options so far, but I plan to expand them through time. I want to use two primary dialogue "path" based on secondary stats in the future, like a good girl and bad girl (not evil, more like dominant/aggressive) route. This would mostly impact the way Gina faces and lives out her muscle-fetish and desires.
And more fmg is definitely on that list too, just taking my sweet time with world-building and introducing characters before Gina gets too big. I want Ginas growth to be part of other characters storylines too, so yeah.. gotta bring those in the game first.
Pretty easy to implement flexing at movement, huh? Maybe I´ll talk to KBro again how he manages that, because the only ideas I have would take a lot of effort to implement. Guess my days of pestering the Bayshore masters aren´t nearly done yet..
Oh, and maybe you´ll write the strategy guide once I´m finished. How to grow fastest and find all the hidden scenes :D
Great story for just making the game I enjoyed it. Im exited for the next update
Great start. When this game is finished will it be a sandbox or will there be a finish with epilogue?
Thanks for the praise. While I planed to add a few more game-mechanics, I guess most of the game-time is spend in story-driven events. So, probably an epilogue-style-ending?
But honestly, it´s not like I´m a guy with great plan. More like a ton of loose ideas. So maybe I´ll decide with my patrons if I get to that point.
Surprisingly pretty long with lots of content for the low version number (0.1.2) Highly suggest giving it a shot.
What program do you use to generate these AI images?
I mostly genrated those on pixai.art (free to use) with the trusty old Anything 4.5 Model, but I´m also doing some post-editing on StableDiffusion and Photoshop. And if I say some, I mean actually a lot of post-editing..
looks super intresting (did not play it so far cuz of low version but i defenlitly bookmark it and look intrestet in the future !)
Also, just echo-ing one of the other comments in here but having romance routes with the guys and a forbidden blood-related sibling romance route with Greg sounds really hot. Plenty of visual novels with that sort of thing. I looked at some of the game's image files and there's one called Gina's dream. Is that Greg in her dream?
Sorry but Your Discord gives me a quarantine warning when I try to join. I really want to join, but I don't feel comfortable clicking this until you clear up the source of this "suspicious activity" message.
I´ll try to look into this, but right now I don´t have the foggiest idea what´s happening there. Never even heard of a quarantine warning.
Gotta admit, I´m at my wits end on that one. Wasn´t able to replicate the error and other people could join over the last day without getting a warning.
Maybe try again and send me a detailed error-message, otherwise I don´t even know how to continue there.
Any chance you could add a Gina x Greg sex scene where she dominates her brother in the sheets? Would be a dream come true.
Any chance that you can add a muscular brother and muscular younger sister duo? I love muscular siblings and we almost never see this in any visual novels or manga or anime for that matter.
Add one? You mean apart from the obvious muscular brother and yet to become muscular younger sister already present? xD
Just started playing it. Never mind! Any chance you could add a Gina x Greg sex scene where she dominates her brother in the sheets? Would be a dream come true.
You´ll have to be very patient for that to happen, since I needed 3-4 month just to get to this point in the game. But I could imagine something like that too..
Although I wouldn´t force somethig like that on the players. So I imagined making this dependend on the players choices.
We're on the same page. Yeah, the idea would be what you do in all Visual Novels, especially Otome game ones. You say the right answers with your romance options and accumulate affection points. Each person has a "route" and if you choose the correct answers and end up with one of them you gradually are rewarded with 2-3 sex scenes often paced out evenly in their route. You can do this for Michael, Jonathan and Greg and some of the other men in the series. Or you can even add some of the women as potential romance options if you're ok with that as well. I was just asking that you include a blood related brother sister route because you pretty much never see that in any visual novels, especially with a muscular heroine (and muscular romance option).
So it´s true, great minds do think alike. Never played Otome games, but I kind of had it imagined like you described here. Although I wouldn´t set a focus on affection points, simply progress the storylines of the characters and decide acordingly at some point. But I´ll cross that bridge when I come to it.
As for the potencial options: I mean, Gina liking both girls and maybe even Greg is kind of hinted in the game already.
any chance for futa? ether for the mc or a love interest?
Hi, at the moment I haven´t planned on adding any futa content. I get the appeal, but it´s just not my kind of thing.
do you have to date males? or any you avoid them?
Won´t have to date anyone you don´t like, but there should be the option for some pervy scenes with both sexes. I kind of let my imagination run free with Ginas desires there.
But I´m still in the phase of world-building and introducing all my characters. Will take a while..
Can you make it possible on mobile? I really want to do it
I can't because I don't have a computer at home.
Just use joiplay and the ren'py addon it works great on mobile (Android). There's lots of guides on how to use since it's popular. Hope this helps you enjoy your muscles friend.
I'm really sorry, but I don't know how to do it, so can you tell me in detail how to do it?
Good sir, your wish has been my command. After fighting that damn SDK for a while, I managed to get an adroid version up and running. Have fun with it.
Thank you very much!😂
