Would there be an option in the future for a protagonist gender selection and protagonist weight gain? Also would weights beyond immobile be achievable in the future?

I would like to see better descriptions for how the fat collects and builds up, for example some women have a lot of rolls and others never form any rolls. Some women have loose fat and others gain very tightly packed fat.

There are also medical conditions that change fat distribution like Lipedema that causes fat to collect exclusively in the lower body, a famous example being the Instagram model Randalin she has severe Lipedema, you can find a bunch of her pictures on the subreddit r/Itsrandalin. there is also the condition Macromastia that causes the breasts to not stop growing.

These conditions and the types of fat descriptions could add some variation to the characters you interact with in game. Please keep working on the game, it is one of the best text adventures I've found in a long time.

protagonist gender selection option and protagonist weight gain would be awesome

Personaly prefer the "Player Character" staying anonymous. I do not see the player as protagonist. The townies are the protagonists. I need no data about the player character at all. You are the Player!

What I might do is have the protagonist weight gain be an optional feature & when turned off it would play as it does now. Gender select might be mandatory though as it will change how some of the dialogue/scenes play out.

Good concept to have some things optional (also pregnancy).
Gender select for the player character is a nice addition.

Also when there is player character weight gain there has to be weight loss.

Hi there, thank you so much for your support, it means a lot. :)

I think I'll definitely add gender selection and protagonist weight gain.

I'd originally considered immobility to be the end point, but I could certainly keep the game going and add some additional levels of fatness for you to aim towards.

Your idea about more in-depth descriptions and variations in the body fat is a good one.

I could add Lipedema and Macromastia as two additional gain patterns; Lipedema being a more extreme pear and Macromastia focusing on breast growth.

I also plan on adding a Create-a-Girl feature in the main menu to let you design and name your perfect girl and then add her to the town for you to fatten.

Create-a-Girl feature is a great idea. Guess you would also be abel to add multiple differnt characters to a town (?)

For sure, I'll have it so you can add as many custom girls to your town as you like.

wow cool! Your game is very good, excellent even. I haven't played a text adventure this good since I played Abducted+ by ToshDragonash, Fatty Text Adventure Game (FTAG) by Noone_fa, or Yaffaif by dingotush. With a bit more work and time invested in development, I think your game could be as big as those one. If you haven't played the games I listed yet you definitely should, they are great games and you may get inspiration for ideas to add to your game.

I had another idea, what if when the love interest becomes immobile, the location it happens at influences where you meet up with them going forward. For example, if they become immobile at your house they now live in a room at the house. Or if they become immobile at work they are shipped to a obese care center. Things like that could make the game more interactive.

Maybe, if you fatten up more than 2 towns women to morbid obesity or immobility the demographics of the town could shift. More chubby and fat women appear in town, and more restaurants offer fattening food with large portions instead of the normal fare. If you fatten more than 4 the town starts having more obese woman appear and businesses that cater towards fat people show up as options.

By the way, do you have an idea on when the next major update might be released or do you have no release schedule currently?

Thank you for the game recommendations & further ideas. As it happens, I'd been thinking about the possibility of including a care home for immobile women in the game; so that may well make an appearance at some point!

I can't make any promises regarding when the next major update might be released... but possibly within the next 2-3 weeks or so?
