Secrets of Gaia IV
A downloadable game for Windows
Welcome to my first dip into game development. Written in RPG Maker MZ, Project Gaia is a survival adventure. You play as Sora Starchaser, a surveyor on an exploration mission ambushed by pirates in deep space. Now the sole survivor and stranded in orbit over a strange planet, you must brave the mysteries of the surface below if you are to find the materials to fix your ship and get home.
This is the free version. It contains content that is one or two releases behind the latest and up to date version for patreon supporters.
Feel free to join the Discord server for updates, bug reporting, and community chat. If the invite link has gone stale, please leave a comment here. I try to refresh a new one every week.
This game has adult themes. You must be 18+ to download, play, and participate in the discord server.
Meanwhile, talks with illustrators are starting to speed up. That and the project is leaving alpha stage and is nearly content complete on both Act I and II. To keep development really going and unhindered, I've started a patreon page. Come check it out!

How do I get pass the berry vines
Looks great
Is there a Android version?
Joiplay
How do I download joiplay?
just search it up and it will tell you or go to their patreon
how has development for the game been going so far?
我完全搞不懂这个怎么玩
Android?
Where do I find the space shuttle in act 4? I have been looking around but cant find it
When do you think the next update will be? *Edit* Found the preg option.
Great game. Where can I go to support it ?
There has already been a lot of great people that have supported significantly to this project, and I'm just trying to get it finished at this point. I've moved to a "support if you can" model with itchio. I'm glad that you enjoyed it and I hope the ending matches the rest of your experience!
could you make this available for mac?
When I get the next version out there, I can definitely do a mac release as well. RPGMMZ has a mac deployment out of the box. I don't know if it's compatible for Mac/Intel or apple silicon as well though.
Can you make this available on android it looks like an awesome game plsssss
Use joiplay
It seems there is a bug where you give birth, and yet your sprite still keeps the pregnancy and its speed debuff. Bit of an annoyance when trying to gather ores. The speed debuff also affects the global map.
Edit: seems your character only updates after exploring a different section of the map. This is the cause and solution.
Is there any permanent weight gain? I'm confused by how to progress
I'm sorry, I was just showing you which channels still had the bogus discord link in them, you didn't have to ban me ;-;
The desert area says it still has '2 large anomalies detected', even if I have looked- and walked on- Every. Single. TILE! in that area... That's a bug, right ? All the other areas on that planet are at 0, so ?
Can there be voice acting? Please.
I am currently stuck at the laser puzzle of the moon base. what do I need to do, exactly?
Is there preg and are there more characters
no only 1 playable character, and as for pregnancy you need to choose the "its kinda lonely" not the "am hungry" option cuz for the second option its inflation/belly stuff fetish
Quick questioon will there be vore like she eats slime and other stuff just asking
no.... each time she eat something, just walk around, or fight some enemies her belly will inflate but no vore just belly inflation stuff :(
Oh but its okay
Where do I get these options, exactly?
talk to the robot thingy in the upper left last room i think?
Any questions where to find anomalies on A043?Can you tell me, I can 't find it, I ran through the whole location and didn 't see it , there are 2 pieces left , only there are no more compartments there
Can you really get this big as on screenshot? Because my charakter doesn't have even a smaller bump
The main character can take steps in the Medical Bay to increase their threshold, allowing them to get bigger in later acts of the game.
Okay, thanks
When are you going to update this game
Where to get rare earth metal?
cuz it beens like roughly 3 hours
From brown ore deposits if I remember correctly the grey just give you basic ones and the last metal is crafted
Brown ore is the uncommon ore. Every ore deposit drops some of the ore of same rarity, more of the rarity underneath it, and maybe a few of the rarity above it.
There are some rare ore deposits in caves. I'm working on adding more nodes across the maps for less materials grinding
where are the items for the WP
its the mushroom thingy in items
oh yea btw where to get rare earth metals, ive been playing it for hours
thanks for telling me and i don't know what are the rare earth metals or where they are if i did
Ok, can anyone explain to me how to get past the Berry Vine? No matter what achievable combination of WP and Dist I have when I try it, it always results in failure. What tactic is necessary to get past it? I already have maxed out my medical upgrades for this area and am using the highest level gear I can craft with only rare ore.
I believe that's bugged and can't be completed regardless. I have had no success in getting past that as well.
I believe you have to be Hungry in order to proceed past the Berry Vine.
i spent 3 hours of my life grinding in this game
way too much grinding, please balance it
(probably making the crafting and the scanner prices cheaper would make it better)
(or more rare metal spawns)
otherwise good game
(also combat lacks diversity)
"this is the free version" . . . *clicks download* -Name your own price-. . .
When it says name your own price there is a button to take you to the download screen anyway. The version is free it just promptS you for a donation if you so choose.
what do the crystal shards do?
Seems after I did some content in the cave, I'm stuck in a constant slow walk after a non-medical-bay pregnancy. How do I fix this?
That has been a bug that was tough to fix without a rewrite. I'm currently in progress for a fix for this.
Patreon Link is outdated.
Although the text for the link shows the correct URL clicking on the link still tries to take you to https://www.patreon.com/majesticbluefalcon
Thanks for the heads up, link should be updated
how do I fix Alice?
Not today, spammers. Not today!
Still alive and well, just trying to code as much as I can.
is there a way to try the other fetish content that in it like all of the other options are greyed out and the weight gain and pregnancy is all there is right now any way to beta test the other options for testing purposes and to help find bugs?
I do have a bug-reporting channel on my discord where I'm able to track all of the bugs the community has found in one place. Drop on by if you did find something. Meanwhile if you would like to help in some way, feel free to reach out. This is a single person effort, so I am trying to juggle everything.
Meanwhile, I went with the decision to enhance the individual story for each expansion theme instead of having them all just run on the main story alone. I disabled switching for this reason, so that the player can progress through the side quest for their own chosen theme.
The new NPCs and encounter system will have the main character facing enemies from all expansion themes and there will be a strength and weakness strategy coming in.
I'm curious about what "I'm really thirsty" would add up to
Thirsty is going to be the blueberry story
Where do you see the options for fetish content?
there is a menu when you talk to the robot for the first time the options are white where work in progress ones are greyed out
Okay, I'll bite
Where's SOG 1, 2 & 3?
I think it's supposed to mean that the planet is named Gaia IV, like how the scientific name for Europa is Jupiter II.
Oh okay
Now I'm wondering what the other themes could possibly be. Tingly? Itchy? Strange?
The current implementation of the theme select came from when Pregnancy artwork and dialog was just completed, and there were artists lined up for Blueberry and Breast/hourglass expansion. At the time it seemed like I was lining up a lot of artists to add more themes, so I stubbed out some other possibilities to help plug them in later.
I made the game itself to be modular, so that as long as I got artwork for any kind of expansion or transformation theme, I could add in the artwork and story for it.
For my plans for release, I couldn't be happier that I have not one but three themes in the game. Although I planned for it in code, I wasn't expecting it. For now I'm releasing this game with Weight Gain, Pregnancy, and Blueberry for the expansion themes and stories so that I can keep to my already amended schedule for 1st Quarter, 2023.
I do have plans to learn Unity, probably with RPG Maker Unite, and with that I will probably see about remastering SoGIV. If that comes around and I can acquire more assets from artists, then I'll look to adding more themes that are requested.
how do you play the pregnancy gameplay?
When ALPHA 6 asks if you're experiencing any symptoms, select "I'm feeling a little flushed
Is there any way to swap between Preg and WG after that?
I went in favor of setting the theme choice early so that I can write a side story specific to each expansion theme.
That does mean that a separate gameplay is needed for each theme, but that there will be personal story elements for that theme that can give a different experience.
The new NPCs that can be encountered can be from any theme, and there are some upcoming combat elements that allow for some more strategy. For the main character, she can only be affected by one expansion type at a time.
Fair enough
will this game have a mac version please
Yes. Once I move to a single release with v0.10 I'll bring out a windows and mac release.
I'll try to get better spec requirements for Joiplay with RPGM Mz. I've had some players have trouble on older phones and android. There's not much I can do but I can try to find some specific requirements.
is their a way to get the gaia grapes and gaia syrup
Looks like they're not showing up because of a bug. Syrup is supposed to drop in some other gatherable nodes like nectar does. The grapes are supposed to be their own nodes that are not showing up.
Hey everyone! Version 9 is out!
The main changelog is on the discord server. I'll copy it over here and on the Weight Gaming forum tomorrow. Enjoy!
Changelog for v0.9 is up in the development log
is there a way to make it as the blue meter goes up the MC spite changes?
You mean the walking sprite? While there are cutscene art for each of the 10 stages, there are only about 5 stages of walking sprites. Plus, some of those walking sprites are reserved for the later game where med bay procedures can increase the MC's max on the blue meter even further. The sprites between WG and P are a little different. If you're still having trouble, let me know on the discord server. I have bug reporting channels dedicated to tracking issues there.
