I've been following and playing this game for a while and I got to say this update has really improved  the gameplay in many ways and here are some of my thoughts about this update along with suggestions and some ideas about what can be added or improved on in the next updates

Also sorry if this is too long and wordy I wanted to make sure I elaborated on the features in this update so you have something more than just “gameplay for X sucks plz fix” to work off of     


Notes on core features added with this update

  1. For the job part of the update the changes have definitely improved the early game of earning money for your fattening endeavors, however the gameplay loop for that does still becomes boring in the mid/late game (you complete your feedism upgrade tree and you have at least one or two girls as blobs). 
    1. For some jobs you can be rolling in money by 300 day while others you could be still be earning £300 a shift and that disparity can make some of the money sinks like the mansions or estates impossible to earn on some characters
      1. What I feel can be done to help improve this is by making career progression a lot more consistent where by around day 500 you may likely become CEO  of a company or or Administrator of a government entity and be rolling in a lot of money to spend on your feeder/feedee lifestyle. 
      2. Heck maybe if you do become CEO or Administrator maybe you can get an option to integrate Dizzy's into your company's supply chain or as part of a bribe for a small added bonus of money and an increase in your current town's obesity rate (like a Hospital administrator making Dizzy's doughnuts a staple desert for the menu of both hospital's patients and the cafeteria or a Police Chief turning a blind eye to Dizzy's more suspicious activities) 
  2. The home features are great and there is a lot to do when furnishing your home and it does feel like a great framework for adding more feedism or other options in the future. The only two issue I have are the housing slots and the lack of features for bigger blob sizes
    1. House searching feels a little two much like a gamble with some rooms although being the same room type having different slot amounts and the issue get only worse with more expensive houses as you have to manage more different sized rooms. This makes bigger houses less useful since for now other than for a Kitchen, Study, and Personal Bedroom any other spare room can best described as a designated Immobile/Blob room but some rooms don't have enough slots to what I consider a proper blob room 
      1. One solution can be to make each room in a house consistent like kitchens always have X Slots, bedrooms always have Y and utility rooms always have Z slots and when hunting a house you can see what types of rooms the house keeping the dice roll element in finding a good deal but not making totally random
      2. Along with that maybe an option to view the floor plan of each house based on what room it has or allow us to at least merge rooms if they're on the same floor 
      3. Also you should be able to save a house listing for up to 7 days to allow yourself to find more housing options before committing to an house
    2. Feedism gameplay with this house overhaul is great and it's nice to have another path to turn a girl into a blob. The only issue is that the game just stops at blob and doesn't let you go further unless you send them to Dizzy's 
      1. Also there should be an option to send a immobile or blob girl to the care home or Dizzy’s based on their sizes. As currently the only option to send them there is to kick them out which then send them to the care home or Dizzy’s
  3. The Cooking minigame feels a little too intense/hard if your trying to cook food with max calories
    1. The difficulty should be tied to your cooking skill with higher the skill the easier the minigame becomes
  4. Loved the portraits they assist in making each character become more alive since there now a face to attach to instead of just boxes text

Other gameplay wishlist ideas for next updates

  1. You should be able to buy or rent warehouses and/or barns to house girls at blob stage or higher
  2. New starting background (Wealthy Family), where your character starts off with a college education and  £8000-£10000 in starting money and with a bonus income £1000 a week but the catch is that you don’t get much of any boost in starting skills so it's harder to land a starting job and climb the career ladder.
    1. Also maybe an feature were if you have player weight gain enabled your family will try to cut you off from the bonus if you get too fat
  3. More housing options
  4. More Blob stages and Blob Features 
    1. MOAR BLOB SIZES, I know its not for everyone and I understand if this isn't something you’re into but I would love make some girls as big or even bigger than a house
    2. More ways to interact with a girls at bigger blob stages other than feeding them
    3. More house furniture that can be useful at immobile or bigger, like cranes, scaffolding and supports which allow for dialog events and/or sex options at bigger sizes, medical devices which you can use if medical issues are turned on and an auto feeder which takes liquid food you can buy regular shake mix at the store or you can make custom shakes with more calories at a professional kitchen

Overall this was a great update and I cant wait to see what you have planned next

I have seen several comments on how hard the cooking mini game is. I find it kind of ease & nice to play. & if you mess up you can reload from last save like when one does fail any of the mini games.

I am not into most things suggested here, especially the wishlist is not for me.

I agree about the minigame criticism - minigames becoming too much of a distraction from the actual game has happened to games before way too often.

I have discussed the cooking-game and minigames in general, with a good outcome here:  https://itch.io/post/16279178

Thank you for taking the time to share your ideas & feedback, it's much appreciated!

When I designed the job system, I intended for players to apply to new jobs throughout their career instead of just sticking with one. I may encourage this more as I'd like that to be a key way of moving up the career ladder (rather than the whole job application system being one-and-done at the beginning of the game).

I completely agree with your ideas for the home system. I'll give players more visibility of room sizes for available properties and allow players to merge or split existing rooms (at a cost) so they have full freedom to structure things as they please.

Good idea with an option to send a girl straight to the care home or facility. I can include that. Adding more options and activities for immobile characters at home is a priority for me going forward, plus adding support for the blob milestones at home.

What I'm thinking with the cooking minigame is adding some home upgrades that make it much easier. These would take up room slots, but make it very relaxed.

A wealthy family background is an interesting idea. I'd probably add a permanent penalty to skill XP gains to balance the wealth and free university degree (instead of just lower starting skills, which are quite easy to level early on).

I'm definitely planning more home upgrades for blobs, expect to see these relatively soon!

The reason that people don't switch jobs is that there's currently no way to get a degree other than by choosing to start with one.

As a result, you just pick the job with the highest starting salary and go from there because spending all the money for the qualifications at the college isn't really worth it unless you're already so rich that you can blow away thousands of dollars and not care (which defeats the purpose of the job system to begin with).

If it weren't for that, I might at least consider say, getting a temporary job while in university to get a degree and then switching to that degree's job.

Plus of COURSE peoole are going to stay at the same job because they wanna fatten the girls there over time and read the dialogue lines of the ladies commenting on eachother's weight.

About the "Background" selection
What i rly miss is a "Neutral" Background without any Buffs or Nerfs, to experience the standard balance of the game.

About the "Jobs"
Afaik there is no option to simply quit your job - which would be reasonable when you have started a real career in DDD; OF; DUF or choose beeing a lazy pet getting pampered by your partner.

Sorry pardon my ignorance but what is DDD and DUF?
