Hey there everybody! Thanks so much for the support you've shown the game so far! And thank you so much for your patience. Now 0.2 is finally out! Be sure to ready this devlog if you want to know all the changes!

THE GOOD

• Clothing clipping is now greatly reduced thanks to a new custom shader by MaxDigital (@MaxDigita1)!
• You can now play as males! This was heavily requested. The only main difference between males and females in this game is the body type being different (in both small and large sizes). None of the customizability options are gendered. Males can wear feminine items and vice versa. Heck, you can even give your male boobs if you want.
• Dual-colored clothing has been introduced. You will know which clothing is dual-colored when two squares appear on screen when you choose an article of clothing. Click on one of the squares to edit the respective color.
• You can now zoom in and out with your middle mouse wheel.
• Different resolution options have been added. As well as a fullscreen mode.
• Music and some sound effects have been added, as well as volume options.
• Added butt jiggle physics.
• Arms now lift as the character gains weight. So arms clipping through the body should happen less often.
• The more weight your character gains, the slower they walk. Their walk also slowly transitions into more of a waddle.
• Body collision has been slightly improved. Boobs can collide with the belly and should cave into the belly less often (but not completely)
• Body buffs have been made more obvious. People have been asking for a way for you to tailor your gain to specific body types. This was already in the game. But people had trouble noticing it. So it's now more apparent which foods give what buffs when you click on them.
• Burping is an added mechanic. Whenever your character eats, there's a random chance for them to belch.
• Bloating is an added mechanic. When you drink soda, there is now a chance that you will bloat. When bloated, your stomach gets larger, groans and sloshes, and you have a chance to belch every few seconds. Bloats can last anywhere between 30 seconds and 3 minutes.
• Your character now digests faster the more they level up.
• Weight gain has been slowed down and balanced a bit.
• Various food balances.
• Head patting and belly rubs now give more happiness points (20 instead of 10)
• The "end of day" summary has been removed. Days just transition from one to the next immediately.
• Auto-saving has been adjusted. Instead of happening every minute, it happens at the end of every in-game day. That should hopefully help if anyone has been having camera problems.
• Small subtle quality of life junk.
• 6 new hairstyles.
• 3 new tops.

BUG FIXES

• Clothing clipping is greatly reduced.
• Weight and colors hopefully shouldn't randomly revert to default when opening the game again.
• Buffed body parts hopefully shouldn't randomly revert to standard weight gain when opening the game again.
• If any of these are still in the game, let me know. I'm really sorry about any bugs! I'm still learning :>

KNOWN EXISTING BUGS

• Some people have been reporting that their character randomly turns invisible. I'm still looking into this.
• Your character might turn completely black at some points depending on the position of the camera. I think I've fixed this, but just a disclaimer.
• If you start a new game, the lighting on your character might look off. It will fix itself when exit customization, but if it's disturbing your customization process, close the game and reopen it.
• The weight number is still a bit buggy.
• Sometimes you can eat more than your current capacity (though some might call this a feature, heh).

THE BAD

• Personality types and conversations have been temporarily disabled. I'm really sorry about this! There are two main reasons for this. One: The system I was using kinda broke, heh. Two: I'm not entirely sure what direction to take this aspect of the game. I love having it, but it takes SO much development time to equally maintain conversations for 4 different personality types. All with 2 different temperaments to weight gain. Adding conversations and assigning animations for each text box for each personality type takes a very large chunk of time and I'm contemplating if it's even worth pursuing that particular aspect of the game. Like I said, I love having it, but it takes so much dev-time I could be using for other things.

THE OTHER

Again, thank you all for the support you've shown this game! It feels great knowing I'm making something that people have been enjoying. Feel free to continue sharing your experiences!

Depending on the reception this update gets, I might take a small break after putting this out. I have admittedly been getting the itch to work on other projects. Both fat and non-fat related. Don't panic, this project is by no means abandoned. But depending on how many people remain interested in it, it might not become a main priority. Just a heads up! The more people stay interested, the more motivated I am to work on it I suppose XD There's definitely a good handful of things I still want to add to the game. As well as suggestions you all have made! I've contemplated making my Trello board public to help keep people updated on what I plan to add, but that's still up in the air.

I enabled the "name your price" option to the game. Don't worry, the game is still free! Though some people have been asking if they could donate to support development. So I figured I might as well enable the option. But please don't donate out of hopes of this becoming the next big thing in the future. I have no idea how long I want to keep this game going. Could be one more update or a hundred. If anything just treat it as a tip jar for the content that's already released. Anything donated is greatly appreciated and I thank you lots!

But that's it for the 0.2 update! I hope you all enjoy it! See you all in 0.3, whenever that will be!
