Hello again! I just wanted to congratulate you on another great update to the game. I can’t believe how much time you dedicate to giving us such a vibrant world—literally, you can do anything here, and that’s super cool.

I also stopped by to ask you a slightly curious (and maybe a bit morbid) question about something I might be able to do in the game. I've noticed that the game gives you a warning if you feed your household NPCs too much food. I’ve never pushed that limit myself, but now I’m wondering: is there a visual change to the NPC’s appearance if they gain a lot of weight from being overfed for a long time, or is it only reflected in their stats? Any plans to officially add that tag to the game in the future, or is it just something mentioned for now?

Once again, thank you so much for all your effort and care. Believe me, it really shows when someone puts passion into things and pays attention to the details. Congratulations on such an amazing project!

At the present there are no "visual" changes to the NPCs (except some pregnancies). Not sure if there ever will be, since all images have to be rendered individually.

I have an NPC (Astrid actually) that need to be on 1 ration a day to not go very fat.

You might want to give the game "Kenshi" a look. I love the game, even though the graphics are a little bit old by now. But it's real time 3D and you can "shape" NPCs from very skinny (from passed out starving actually) to well fed to super buff and muscular. But no "fat" body types. I don't think there are mods for "overweight" NPCs, but given that Kenshi has a huge mod community, I wouldn't be overly surprised too. Actually, if you take the "sex" part aside, it's got a lot of common ground with Masters of Raana, depending on how you play it. Kenshi doesn't exactly have a story. It has stories and NPCs with their own stories but ultimately, it's a huge sandbox with no rules at all.

There is a Kenshi 2 in the works, but might be a few years... all the dev says is "It's ready when it's ready". The original took 10 years (plus 2 years of "ideas") to be finished, but it's a masterpiece.

Oh, really? Thank you so much for your response! The game is huge and vast, and at some point, resources become difficult or scarce to obtain depending on political events. That’s why I didn’t want to spend too much on that curiosity I had. XD Thanks a lot! I'll take a look at the game you mentioned. It's on Steam, right?
