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!
