I really feel like your character getting sick happens way too often and lasts way too long. It really kills the pace and fun of the game whan all you can do is sit and wait for it to go away, or mash the serve button until it goes through.
IMO, there should be some indication of what exactly makes them sick, it almost seems random. I know some foods seem to really make them sick easily, but I'm not really sure why they get sick otherwise. Seems like maybe it's a chance based on how big a certain food is compared to your stomach capacity, IDK.
Either way, I skipped the dodgy mechanic entirely by mass-purchasing cheap, small (and small-ish) foods, then stockpiling certain badges to make the small foods more useful, then I use an autoclicker on my mouse to eat thousands of them individually, my character never gets sick anymore, and I get to chuckle at the mints' description about getting immobile from mints.
Idea to make the mechanic a little more clear: a "health" stat for all foods. Eating too many unhealthy foods runs a higher risk of making the character sick, but eating healthy foods is worse for the $/cal side of things, and slows down gameplay. Maybe healthy food even takes longer to digest? Kind of like an active vs passive choice?
I've been having a great time with the current version of the game! I love the gain rate + badge system as it really allows for specializing citizens into specific roles.
However, two things of note. - Save file corruption apparently can still happen. In my case it happened with no discernable cause and at present I have to start over. - As others have said, the random events are not common enough. In the previous update I only saw a scant few, and in this update i've yet to see any of them.
I have tested the new 0.5.1 version, and I would like to highligt few areas which need improvements.
I. bugs:
1 - as it was already mentioned below the food icos in the shop are not properly scaled (lots of narrow food icons). e.g. please compare Soda icon with version 4.2, and you will see the difference.
2 - how to quit from menu? Only ALT + F4 works
3 - it seems the character/room does not save the exact setup when you leave the room. If you go to the shop/NPC, then you return to the room:
bloating visual effect disappears (still bloated. but not visible)
illness visual effect disappears (still ill. but not visible)
furnitures in the room rotates slightly on return (looks like if they were newly dropped to the room)
4 - some cloth textures are still broken as size grows.
II. Problems (not bug, but not so good for gameplay)
5 - food addiction
When addiction occurs on higher level you need e.g. few hundred cookies, and you cannot eat anything just that single food to remove addiction effect. If you have that badge which gives you the addiction, then you are trying to stock some reserves from that particular food, because it's usually rare in the food store (sometimes you need to wait 3-5 days to be able to buy). But if the high level character is hungry, it will eat ALL of your reserves from the addiction removal food (thousand of cookies just with one click if we use "serve all") and nothing will remain for next time when addiction occurs. :-(
Other option is to click few hunderd times (using "manual serve") to remove addiction effect which is also not good.
So we need a scaled serve option here like "serve 300 units" instead of "serve all", becuase we definitely don't want to use all of the rare addicion removal food with one click.
6 - illness
I don't like that so much. Lots of food makes characters ill for long time (belly rub does not speed up the removal as quickly as expected) and this interrupts the gameplay.
Could you please mark these toxic foods in the description to avoid? Or at least mention the "safe quantity" which does not make illness?
7 - bloating
Lots of food makes bloating, and I belive it's not soo good. It removes the original shape of the character for long time (belly rub does not speed up the removal as quickly as expected)
Could you please make this bloating optional in the menu? If someone likes it, then feel free to enable in the manu, but who don't need it, please let them disable. Or at lease please mark these type of foods what we whould avoid if we don't like the bloating.
8 - size increase is ok, but it's focusing only on 2 directions (back and forward) but not to the sides. If you have some time can you adjust the wide thickness of models? High level characters looks like a car (rear and front) not like a ball.
9 - the new eye types in the character creation are a little bit weird/scary to me, so I would prefer the old "cute" eye types which fit more in my opinion.
10 - I beleive the new voice styles are too serious for these cute characters, so I disabled voice in menu as it does not fit. (some more cute voice style would be preferred)
To sum it up, great work, please keep up the development.
But I will stay with version 4.2 because too much bloating and illness are interrupting the gameplay. :-(
Please make these optional in the menu, or at least describe these side effects in the related food description, then we can avoid using them.
1. Once you start hitting the capacity-level-capacity-level spiral, the weight loss clinic becomes useless, as the cost goes exponential quickly (could maybe become capped?)
2. ...There's a capacity-level-capacity-level spiral, fed by several badges where you just go nuts and infinitely grow for no effort.
3. If you're not interested in mountainous blobs, you run out of stuff to do pretty quick, since the game's designed for you to just get bigger and bigger forever
4. There's really nothing you can do to stop from becoming a mountainous blob
5. Buying BP with levels is 100% worthless, it's easier to get BP from that one badge, I've got like 400 BP, and I'm mad that at least like 20 of them are from levels that could've been used for stomach capacity
6. Still got tons of clipping and warping with the character models, though I guess the size makes that kinda expected. Blob characters in particular have incorrectly weighted (haha) rigging in their arms, for instance
7. The gambling alley is OP as hell, since you get free badges, and get loads of crazy foods. (Also, I don't know what the point of the three bags are. It doesn't seem like they're "themed" differently or anything...?)
8. No clue what bought rooms are for, since you don't stay room-sized for very long
9. I wish there was some metabolism badges, maybe ones that increase/decrease weight changes, and maybe one badge that makes you lose/gain weight over time
10. Those random events that we're supposed to get, I got two... ever. For being a gamble and for having a badge dedicated to them, they're extremely limited and/or rare
11. Still no interactions between different characters you own. Feels like they should at least talk about each other every now and then, IDK
12. Still wish there was a use for the weight loss clinic other than blowing tons of money on getting skinny again, like maybe a rewards system where removing X amount of fat gives you a free thing, and the rewards get better the more you give up
13. The badges in general are pretty unbalanced, it's a bit interesting to have it where a character can eat basically anything of any size or type, have it instantly pretend to fill the entire hunger bar's worth of XP, not actually fill the stomach, give you free BP, and loads of fat all at once, and do so as fast as you can click, which has the funny side effect of making most tiny foods OP
14. Could definitely use some more "status effects" like having lactation as a boob version of the bloat effect, or a sugar rush status effect that makes the character run around faster and generate more Happiness, but ends with them getting ill
Badges are definitely a great addition, but I'm kind of confused as to why a lot of commonplace visual jank has gone unaddressed. The core of gameplay is basically watching your citizen eat, but at higher weights the eating animation has clipping arms and collapsing stomachs. The reintroduced belly rubs similarly cause wider hips to collapse on themselves and bigger bellies to defy gravity.
If it's too hard to fix these animations, making a 0 BP badge that replaces them with standing animations except for facial expressions would be ideal.
0.5.1 is a great update so far, but I've noticed a few issues.
1. When you attempt to rub a belly very often it's super finicky and doesn't trigger "rubbing" right away. I've had characters turn around and start acting as if I'm rubbing their bellies but from behind.
2. Many of the icons for food appear squashed, this happens on multiple resolutions. I've tried full screen and windowed as well and the problem remains.
3. In the weight loss clinic all the text, + & - buttons and the fill in boxes are kind of squashed together. I've also tried this on multiple resolutions, full screen and windowed.
4. Occasionally characters will slide as opposed to walk/waddle while still mobile.
For all issues I've attempted changing settings and exiting and relaunching the game but they have not been rectified.
I've been running into an odd glitch, ever since the last version, after I deleted my save. Every time I try to make a citizen, the game stops just as it's about to finish loading and crashes. Do you think there's a fix for this?
Every time I make a new character, it just defaults to this design the moment I enter the apartment. Voice is automatically turned on. Character can't eat anything. Game constantly lags during loading, lags and stutters whenever a belly grumble or eating sound effect is played. I'm using a 64bit Win10.
Sorry, didn't notice you uploaded a new version! I was playing 0.5. 0.5.1 doesn't have these issues, apart from the voice automatically being on, but that can be solved by simply lowering the volume.
I have a bit of a bug. When I installed this, I attempted to play on the best graphics option, and when I did, it froze up, the game deleted itself, and any installation I try doesn't have the application in it, even with fresh downloads
Wahey I found a minor bug where the plus and minus buttons in the clinic are underneath the ui text. renderring them unpressable and thus making the clinic unusable.
Bug report: the level up screen says you get two badge points, but clicking it only gives you one... ...if I'm reading that right. EDIT: nah, the points are for equipping the badges, nevermind. The currency to buy them is per-level.
32 bit X86... well that's probably a Unity limitation. Besides, I don't think many people would be using 32 bit windows these days. As for the Android version, that's dependent on the Patreon goal being reached.
This is one of favourite fetish games period, I do have one question though, when your character gets so fat they have to be put outside in a field, after the warehouse, can they still get bigger or are they maxed out? You can keep feeding them for XP and the number goes up but I am not noticing any significant size increase, and I am using the whales for food.
Greetings, I am but a humble auto clicker cheater, but I did notice when u level up a character and the option of digestion rate, passive income, and compasity, one u can still click on feed max or the button that will feed them as much as it can. Can still click it and feed them, still giving them XP and fullness and calories, well u can level them up again this way while the upgrade panel is still up, if you select one it will only level up one once and the rest of the levels will be wasted to the shadow realm that is the glitchy hungry void, aside from that I have seen no other glitches, recommendations? Well maybe make it so nothing else in intractable (mainly the serve max button) whilst the upgrade panel is open, or make it so u get points then can choose later on what kinda like an RPG tree. Aside from these simple glitch complaints of my cheating auto clicker user butt, this is an amazing game, keep it up!
maybe add potions? i have a few ideas but not many
all of these would be named differently, just spitballing
existing effects put into potions:
-bloat: bloats the citizen
-craving: lets you change what the citizen is craving, each craving having a unique potion
-stomach settling: removes illness effect from citizen
-buff: makes every food have a particular buff
new things for potions specifically
-insatiable: stomach capacity usage is halved
-ravenous: if you are stocked with any food the citizen is craving, the citizen will eat on their own until the supply is either depleted or the effect wears off
-digestion: the interval of digestion is shortened to 0.25s, down from 1s
again, just spitballing ideas, but i think it'd be kinda cool to have an alternative item type
Could you add a feature where you can sell foods you don't want, it would be a lot easier to buy an item that you really want before the food gets restocked from Gretta's Grocery.
And also has a feature that you can reset your points from leveling up but you need to pay for it. like pretend you accidentally put a point on Happiness points, so there is a button that says reset points, and if you press it'll confirm if you want to do it.

is this game using 100% gpu for anyone else even while on the worst settings?
use vsync or limit your framerate to 60 fps
I really feel like your character getting sick happens way too often and lasts way too long. It really kills the pace and fun of the game whan all you can do is sit and wait for it to go away, or mash the serve button until it goes through.
Belly rubs make illness go away 4 times faster
IMO, there should be some indication of what exactly makes them sick, it almost seems random.

I think I got an overflow error lol. Somewhere after 1.3e9 wobbs (quite a ways past, but that was the last I checked)

I dunno what it is but the close button on the options menu refuses to work at all
There are some weird shading blotches on the chest of the masculine character model when it gets fat.
when i try to play the game it just opens and delete it self..
0.5.1 is a great update so far, but I've noticed a few issues.

For all issues I've attempted changing settings and exiting and relaunching the game but they have not been rectified.
it would be nice if we could upload faces, like mod in faces from characters.
I've been running into an odd glitch, ever since the last version, after I deleted my save. Every time I try to make a citizen, the game stops just as it's about to finish loading and crashes. Do you think there's a fix for this?
narrow food images seem to be stretched out
tried this at multiple resolutions, bug persists
running 0.5.1
Would it be possible to allow users to add their own voice packs? The default Windows voices are unnatural and robotic.
Belly rubs are finally back, but...
Where're the headpats?
It was so cute back in 0.2 i want headpats back in 0.6!!!
Every time I make a new character, it just defaults to this design the moment I enter the apartment.
Voice is automatically turned on. Character can't eat anything. Game constantly lags during loading, lags and stutters whenever a belly grumble or eating sound effect is played.
I'm using a 64bit Win10.
are you playing 0.5 or 0.5.1?
Sorry, didn't notice you uploaded a new version!
I was playing 0.5.
0.5.1 doesn't have these issues, apart from the voice automatically being on, but that can be solved by simply lowering the volume.
There's no difference for me between the feminine and masculine voice.
What version of Windows are you using?
10
How do you earn BP to use the buffs?
It's one of your options when you level up
Ok I got it now, thanks!
I have a bit of a bug. When I installed this, I attempted to play on the best graphics option, and when I did, it froze up, the game deleted itself, and any installation I try doesn't have the application in it, even with fresh downloads
That sounds like it might be a security thing on your end. You might have to allow the game to run through whatever firewall system you have.
Wahey I found a minor bug where the plus and minus buttons in the clinic are underneath the ui text. renderring them unpressable and thus making the clinic unusable.
Oh, I see. What resolution are you playing in?
1280 by 720 on the "Low" graphics setting (playing on a laptop.
Alright, I'll look into that. Thanks.
Bug report: the level up screen says you get two badge points, but clicking it only gives you one...
...if I'm reading that right.
EDIT: nah, the points are for equipping the badges, nevermind. The currency to buy them is per-level.
Weird bug corrupts the character I make once I put them in an apartment. 0.5 Windows version
same
0.5.1 just got uploaded. It should remedy that problem. Sorry for the inconvenience!
Same
0.5.1 just got uploaded. It should remedy that problem. Sorry for the inconvenience!
no worries, everything is working fine :D
0.5.1 just got uploaded. It should remedy that problem. Sorry for the inconvenience!
Where's the download link? :(
Had to temporarily take it down to fix a major bug. It'll be back up soon.
Oh dear, sorry about the inconvenience. A new version is coming very soon!
can you add clothes that move? like when the stomach gets large, the shirt lifts up.
are there plans to make a 32-bit or android version?
32 bit X86... well that's probably a Unity limitation. Besides, I don't think many people would be using 32 bit windows these days. As for the Android version, that's dependent on the Patreon goal being reached.
Frankly anyone still using x86 at this point is gonna be left long in the dust. It ain't 2004 no mo, man.
Sem dúvidas o jogo é uma obra prima

You can keep feeding them for XP and the number goes up but I am not noticing any significant size increase, and I am using the whales for food.
I was able to leave the field and go into SPACE. They can still get bigger and there's a significant change if you feed them a LOT of whales.
Greetings, I am but a humble auto clicker cheater, but I did notice when u level up a character and the option of digestion rate, passive income, and compasity, one u can still click on feed max or the button that will feed them as much as it can.

I'm back for more, maybe add another shop that sells better items and buffs?
Indeed it is. Those are the first words in the description.
thank you, srry i didn't notice
No problem!
are there any modding capabilities?
No plans at the moment
.fkI was a bit disappointed that the belly doesn't appear to get stuffed with the fullness meter, but otherwise the game is great!
Yeah, but there is at least a Bloated status that makes bellies very round!
