I played the first version of this game a while ago and put the update on my list of games to go back to.
While I find the art still very beautiful, I have to say the story regarding the college feels like a massive downgrade. While I'm biased against it since I just am not a fan of "gain school" stuff, I also think it stifles what could be nice character development in exchange for the convenience of having the characters all be roommates. Personally, I think another rewrite would be beneficial since the game itself is very pretty. But I think that the characters should be a bit more separate at least initially and instead of a class where you're forced to gain weight, make it less ham-fisted and be a product of the main character/player's desires so it makes sense why the player has so much agency in their gains. Have the characters grapple with the gain and have the characters develop alongside their waistline.
At the end of the day I'm not asking for the best written game ever in order to get invested in it. I can't speak for everyone, but personally I think keeping it a bit more grounded would help keep me invested in the characters. I would love to see more from this game, and I hope you keep at it.
Also, please change either the textbox color, or the color of the functions at the bottom of the screen, because white-on-white makes it absolutely impossible to see.
i got a bug where hazel will say "i'm too tired to eat anymore today" every time i try to feed her, also I have gone about a week ahead from when the bug started and its still saying that
I think that may be because I have a stamina value that isn't implemented in this update since that's the voice line that plays for that. I'll look into it.
I haven't really tested for android and the minigame code may be difficult to make function properly on the platform, that said I can definitely look into it in future updates. If you have access to the game's code you could also just give yourself a lot of money in the mc file and avoid needing to do the minigame on mobile.
I really am not super into the story changes for the new version. The groundedness of the characters and world felt nice - but now its suddenly a college where you're encouraged to gain? It feels a little too silly for the tone it previously had - and the unique reactions of each character feel weirder and less personal in this lens
Also, story changes aside --- I have found a gamebreaking bug. I'm not sure what triggers it exactly, but everytime I re-meet Rebecca in the gym for the first time, the text window no longer disappears when I try to work.
And no matter how much weight my character gains, nothing changes. I'm 300 kg and still skinny apparently lol
The debugger doesn't apply to the player character as it's not set to grow any specific body part. If that is what you used on the player character then that may be the issue (also possibly my ass code so I'm looking into this right now). As for story changes, yeah I still want to keep it grounded but slightly lighter hearted as I felt limited by the tone I had set previously. If this is the common consensus though I still have the old events and stuff I can work in to make it feel more grounded
It's really fucking good. The writing is definitely the highlight, and your strong suit. Don't let a lack of artwork for weight gain stages deter you from just writing the whole ass script to the rest of the vn and posting it, I honestly don't care if you finish the game part. The gameplay loop is fine as it is, but you could make the game less mouse-heavy by placing the "map" button in the main context menu as an option below the other things you can do in a scene.
I'm a big fan of how much money a day's paycheck gives the player. It makes it way less of a chore to stock up on cash before marathoning the weight gain stages of one character.
Sorry, but for now I will be working on the game in English. I may be able to machine translate it at some point if there is enough support to justify it.
Does anyone else have a problem with save files? For me every time I try to load any savefile (no matter which one is it), it redirects me to the gym, resets all my progress and resets the day counter (as if the game restarted with slight altercations).
Furthermore I cannot load the wcdonalds weight gain event (I can send a traceback file if you need to).
Starting the game from over and over is getting tiresome I hope the next version (or bugfix) will get this fixed, but don't feel rushed take your time with it.
nope save files also don't work for me after a certain point and when I hit rollback on the pop up it reset me all the way back to the beginning. Solid game but I'm gonna wait for it to be a bit more playable before picking it up again.
I pushed an update that should solve the bugs you are encountering. I appreciate the feedback and if you're willing to go back and check if you are still running into them in the new version I would be really grateful.

I just played the game and at 193kg the MC got stuck.
MC always said that she can not eat anymore today, but it happens every day.

Is there sound for this game?
Working on it, hopefully for the next version.

This is android.
When running Joyplay Renphy, I get the following error. Is there a way?

There is now a debug option to get money and skip the minigame, this should solve your problem I think

thank you for the reply! I did use the debugger, okay I see what you mean. Odd system but I get it.
And its your game, but maybe Id prefer some balance between - it feels like a big jump between the two
lol no worries, appreciate the feedback

Love this! Has a ton of potential. Hazel is adorable :)
Hello! I would like to ask that you please recheck your discord, we are ready to assign you an editor!
Awesome work! Really excited to see where this goes! Artwork is too freaking adorable.
How do you access the inventory
I am working to implement this in the next update, the way I had it before made the game unstable so I had to cut it from v0.1
Can I add Android?
I'll do that for the next version. I haven't tried making anything for android before but I'll try.
have Chinese？
Sorry, but for now I will be working on the game in English. I may be able to machine translate it at some point if there is enough support to justify it.
Love it so far.
Thanks, I really appreciate the support!
I absolutely love what you're doing here! Please contact me on discord @fatherquimbly! I would like to make you an offer!
