Hello! This is the same guy that left an essay last time haha. I won't provide as much ideas in a story fashion this time since you seem to have a good idea of how you want to take the game (although I do have plenty of ideas if you ever ask). Instead, I'll give my thoughts with some bugs/inconsistencies I have found. Once again take what you want. I can tell you are passionate about the game, so I figured helping out in bugs and whatnot would help the process.
Also, similar to how I played last time, I focused on Priya first to see all of the gossip interactions at different stages, so I viewed the game through that lense.
To start, I really enjoyed the update, although I must've missed something as I wasn't able to get the Lily, Gina, Gwen scene despite fulfilling all the requirements (to my knowledge) as well as some of the Harper BE content.
Kristy was easily the highlight of the update. Her writing felt way different from a lot of the characters, and I loved the twisting of her personality to cope with the change. Obviously am excited for how that will continue.
For some bugs/inconsistencies:
I found a audio bug when leaving the Fast food restaurant (without being done with the day), the sound of the car starting will play twice.
On Priyas stage 3, when attempting to flirt, there is an error message that will pop up saying that "an exception has occured" and requires a rollback or ignore. I noticed this last update but was unsure if it was my end until playing this time.
After finishing having someone eat at the buffet, it'll hard cut to dialogue with the Buffet worker with dialogue as if you just entered the building. It'll also have her grow once the requirements without having left.
These next three are really nitpicky so I seperated them. I would not care if they never were fixed:
In Priya stage 4, when flirting, she will mention that Lily has grown a lot when in my play-through she had yet to grow at all (once again, don't know how many people are as crazy as me and will hold off on other characters weight gain but this did stick out).
Becca at stage zero, when gossiping about Priya (stage 5) will say "[Playername] instead of the actual players name
During Lily (stage 3) and Beccas conversation at night about bras (the most recently added one), Becca says "My bands are a big bigger" instead of "bit bigger" (once again, ignore this for all I care)
Misc Thoughts/Small Gripes:
I'll keep this section shorter, but something that could be worked on is the music. Specifically when doing almost anything, the music will restart, and once you get in a routine, you'll sometimes be hearing the same audio track restart in quick succession. Not a game developer so I have no idea how this could be fixed. Also I could just turn down the music and pull up my own on youtube lol.
Lastly, I found a big draw to this game to be the dorm dynamic of multiple characters growing together, and I feel that Harper requiring a lot of hoops to jump through before she can join the house hurts her potential interactions with the rest of the group. To get Harper to join, you need to (at the very least) have Priya at Stage 2 so that you have access to the WeightXChanger, Zoe at stage 1 so that she is willing to accept Harper, and every house member as a friend (which the easiest way to do so is by feeding people). This means that Harper, when she joins, will have little to no interactions with lower stage characters. Not a huge deal, but something worth considering.
Lemme know if you'd like me to do this every update and if this length is good. I tried to make it as detailed as I could to help but I can do cliffnotes if you prefer.
Also, I'd love to know what characters are planned to be worked on for next update (aside from Lily as you have previously said).
