Chub, Chomp, Chill

This game is amazing <3 I've been searching forever for a game to scratch this particular itch and I was elated to stumble on this one (especially when the small market there is for feedism games is flooded with female only characters). I've enjoyed making citizens based off myself and my OC's and have sunk several hours into this game so far. 

I know some folks have complained about the current recipe system, but I love recipe mechanics in games and enjoy making things with the specific stats I want - I think purchasing premade meals would grow stale after a while, and having to save for ingredients helps with the pacing. 

I also LOVE the personality system and have had fun writing my own blurbs in the custom settings. 

There are a few things I've noticed that I would love to see fixed in future updates (though none of them are dealbreakers, clearly):
- More recipes, especially for healthy, salty, and spicy options. I don't think anything in the recipe book counts for healthy, as far as I can tell, and there are only two that seem to count for spicy and salty. Having more starting recipes for these food categories, and a larger selection of high calorie options would be amazing, as right now these three are kind of dead time for me past a certain point.
- The stomping sound effects cannot be turned down or muted. I don't know if this is intended to be affected by the "sound effects" setting under audio, but I've even tried turning the sound all the way off and still have loud stomping in my ears. There are times it gives me a bit of a headache (not to mention makes it an impossible game to play in the background incognito).
- Some event options do not make sense for characters that like gaining. I've had my citizen react poorly to popping buttons and other things that would be enjoyable for people into gaining - it would be nice if these selections came into play for things other than the happiness meter. 
- The "sleep on the bed or floor" event seems to be broken. I've tested this since the first time I saw this and have hit "bed" every time this event is given to me, and every single time it has given me the "floor" outcome. Perhaps the buttons are labeled wrong?
- Custom blurb personalities don't seem to save. I've named them and tried to import them for new citizens, the game gives a "success" or similar message but doesn't actually load the personality. I've been saving them as notepads to manually enter each time, but I'd love to be able to have a few custom personalities I can reliably load for new citizens. 
- As others have pointed out, the body models need some polishing (though I'm pretty impressed with the general shapes and animations as is):
    - If you have anything other than "balloon" for the chest type, the boob/moobs turn into craters as they sink into the belly model towards the floor.
    - The arms are invisible past like 800lbs it seems - I had ONE character actually hold their arms to the sides when they walked but this has never replicated since. 
    - Once you get into the 10's of thousands of pounds, the model starts to look silly from anything beyond a front facing shot. It almost looks like an oldschool car lol. Maybe there's something that can be altered with the legs at a certain point so they fill the space? It'd be nice if they came out to the sides and expanded once in the immobile stages, since at the moment they just stay as teeny tiny normal legs holding up these massive million(s) lb models.

Again, none of this is game breaking for me, just things I'd like to see as the game continues to be updated. Loving it so far and can't wait to see where it goes!

at the smallest sizes the body looks great, but as soon as they get bigger it just looks broken and takes me out of it, and also the slow progression, and difficulty of now having to make food, are all factors me me just not wanting to open it anymore. i switched over to to playing blodygons game, and sometimes booting up the 0.5.2 version of this game

in short, the old models are seriously broken though they are better than the chibi models when skinny

because honestly my only critisism for the old game was that the models were too simple

i got what i wanted with this update, but it just wasnt implemented well, also the game is really buggy and runs poorly now

i know your probably hearing alot of negativity for the game as of late, but thats only because we care about it. since you and blobygon are the only creators in this space who have good games as far as i know

This is one of the best WG Games I have played, but there are some critiques that I have with it which I hope are addressed within the next update, should there be one:

1. The Side-Scrolling is pretty clunky, only letting me rotate slightly with every click.

2. The Cabinet and Mirror Models in the Apartments will get in the way of the camera's view.

3. Most Importantly, The Models don't have enough polish to them. The low polygon count on especially the lower body, as well as the arms phasing through the body once its big enough, as if they still had thin bodies, does almost kill the emersion for me.

Again, if there is to be another update, I hope these issues are addressed.

This game is good, I just miss the old models for the characters :<

I really hope 1.3 will be that huge update like was from 0.2 to 0.3

Hi! I have an issue where the other body types do not appear in-game, and rather when I load into the game from the character creator, it automatically reverts to the base settings.

Also some of the settings don't save, and I have to change them every time I start the game again. Not sure why this is happening!

well i hope caseoh plays this and makes himself on this game

Here's an idea for 1.3: Blobygon's version of The Snackrooms added a sweat toggle, so maybe you should add it too. That, and bring back the hairstyles, clothing options, and room types from the earlier versions.

Keep trying to just play the game but it kept crashing on me. I tried lowing the graphics, and I even deleted my save (I had just started playing so it wasn't a big loss) But the game crashed as I was trying to make a new character.

i read on Xwitter that the dev has to do refactoring again due to software changes and data loss.
upside: may make the game run more smooth
downside: may take a while

Ok is anyone else has this problem? Some of the buttons like the "Yes" in the character creation and "Yes" in the delete save data seems bugged, as it doesn't do and just act like the button isn't respondent. ALSO i came to also realized when i click on the apartment for my character lives in and that happens, to ANY boxes, it always reads A1 and that is unoccupied, but yet my CHARACTER IS THERE! In fact, ALL boxes says A1!! What's even funnier? THE MAIN MENU DOESNT EVEN WORK THERE! I'm very much at lost, could anyone help me or could you at least know how to plublish an ACTUAL stable version. That'll be nice. Thank you

will this ever be on Mac?

Nevermind the bugs somehow dissapeared.

Good game

Kinda unplayable for me with tons of lags.

But its still good nonetheless

Is there a way to play previous versions?

does this work on chromebook?

So just reached space, my only disappointment with this version is after a certain point gain feels artificial. In 0.5 when i reached city size i could barely find my girls head. Now in 1.2 at a certain point it feels like the entire model grows. My character looks exactly the same as in her bedroom just in space...

Honestly I hope you will also let us change the body proportions like the legs and arms in Dr. Bananahead's clinic. Also can't wait for more hairs to be added back and a sandbox/cheat mode!

(As of 1.2) When I try to use use the weightloss clinic, the changes don't save and the character retains the same weight/body type I tried changing.

I can't equip faces or clothes or anything to my character does anyone know how to fix it?

Here's an idea for 1.3: Interactions between characters, as well as an expandable door that increases with a character's size and a forklift in the case of immobility.

Really enjoying the current gameplay loop with the cooking and badges and stuff. Still a long way to go for this game in terms of polish and features, but I'm sure you'll get there! I've outlined a few of the most glaring issues/bugs below:

The mesh penetration of clothing is so apparent, and is practically unavoidable. I've had to take everything off of my characters because the clothing clips so much. I'm thinking some sort of culling system would be beneficial - hiding body geometry that isn't visible under clothing.

The arms, despite your efforts to tweak the intervals at which they rise, still clip into your character. I think due to the bespoke nature of the character creator, the better solution would be a procedural animation that dynamically raises the arms as opposed to hard coded intervals since there can be so many shapes and sizes for your character. One size can't fit all.

The UI overhaul has been for the most part great, although on stuff like the cookbook a lot of the images are squished.

Character creation can be *really* buggy. Colours resetting, HEX values not persisting, exporting only exporting a half finished version of the character, belly buttons making huge dents in clothing, the list could go on. It's insane that you even managed to create a character creator like this in the first place considering you're fairly new to game dev, so I commend you for that. There's just a long way to go in terms of polishing it, but I'm sure you know that already. More customisation options and features would be great <3

Some proportions can cause really weird shapes. One of my citizens has gained a lot in the way of thighs, however her love-handles are completely squished flat. Like they've been put under a hydraulic press. The Sassy Ass perk anims can also cause some weird distortion on larger legs/hips.

I wish there was a way to edit the characters *properly* after initial creation as opposed to having to create a whole new citizen. You can go back and edit clothing, sure - but sometimes you'll create a character and realise you made a mistake with their face, or their skin tone, or proportions, and there's simply no way to fix it after the fact. I get you've done the Doctor and workout mechanic to remove weight from body parts, but this isn't a real solution for messing up something in character creation. Perhaps allow the player to buy a mirror which unlocks full character customisation at any time?

Lastly, I'd love a sandbox mode of sorts. Just to have unlimited money and maybe some fun cheats to play around with. It's not much, but it would be great for when you don't want to spend time on the grind.

I'm sure you know of most of these issues and hear these kinds of requests all the time, but I thought I'd throw some feedback into the ring in one collected comment, as this game rocks and has so much potential in terms of features and overall polish. Hope some of these things can be worked out! :>

P.S. the feedback button in-game doesn't work. Had to get to this page manually ;)

Alrighty. After a lot of time with 1.2, I thought I'd offer some feedback. I'm really enjoying the gameplay loop. It's fun, and very pleasing to watch my citizens blimp. Using the badges combined with the right food ingredient to watch a citizen rapidly expand a gut is very satisfying. 

I haven't ran into any major bugs, but I do have some concerns with things that will probably take you some time to work on. So the most jarring thing is the arms. It doesn't take long at all before they become irrelevant and clip into the character. I exclusively use the teardrop shape for this reason. The parallel arm animation lets you see the arms at least briefly, but before long, you can't see them anymore with that shape either.

If there was a torso and shoulder slider, that would probably fix that issue What would be cool is if you could do a mono-butt body type. That rib cage up slim/average with the massive contrast below the rib cage is so wonderful. Seeing it in this game would be pretty incredible. It's already pretty similar to the teardrop, with a torso slider, may knock out a lot of birds with one stone if most of the gain is kept on the lower half, giving the arms and chest plenty of room to grow without clipping.

Finally, speaking of body types, the teardrop doesn't work with marshmallow legs. It always breaks to not quite stick legs, but pretty much two kinda thick stick legs that don't lose or gain wobbs. Finally, the ratio between the butt, legs, and waist doesn't work. After a certain size, it looks like the top of the legs are missing the other part of the model, while the torso is sort of sunk in, while the butt just kinda sits behind them as if the butt slid too far back, and the torso isn't wide and high enough to compensate for the hips. At this point, the butt also just doesn't really look like a butt as there's sharp angles here just like the ones created with the hip disconnect from the model.

I was able to mitigate this to an extent by making the waist as wide as possible and curtailing the hips and butt in character creation, but it's still pretty jarring. It would be nice if there was more gameplay mechanics to go along with becoming warehouse-sized.

 This is just wild ideas off the top of my head, but a gameplay loop in which your character has to try and maintain mobility while inevitably growing massive could be entertaining. Instead of just becoming immobile and the gameplay just feeding them to planet-sized gets old pretty fast. What if they were instead turning into kaiju-like creatures, gaining tails, wings, claws etc and you have to spend the week or month or whatever training up fat kaiju person to get a victory which rewards you with happiness points. 

This would come along with different body types and features and whatnot. Being able to see a character gain muscle mass and/or fat for a strong fat look would be pretty cool. Whatever you decide to do, if anything at all because it's pretty impressive as is, I'm getting at improving the gameplay loop at each stage.

i think it would be nice to explore the town like in tomodachi life
