First of all, this update is fantastic and added a lot of content that I'd really been hoping for. Really glad to see the continued support for the game, thank you for all of your hard work!
I do have a few things of note about the update though;
- I agree with some of the other comments about how sickness seems to happen too often. Personally, I'm not really a fan of the feature, but rather than removing it entirely (as I don't mind there being some consequences during the gameplay for a more sim-feel) it'd be nice if there was a toggle to disable sickness, or maybe a badge from Kandy that prevents/reduces a citizen from becoming ill. Having an indicator or note on the foods that can trigger sickness would also be a huge help, same with bloating.
- I'm still having a lot of weird clipping and shading issues on larger sizes, and I'm still having the weird chest shading happen on masculine characters. It's understandable that this is still an issue given the nature of the physics, but I think it would be a good idea to focus on these visual problems since the core appeal of the game is watching your characters get bigger and bigger.
- I do wish that the interface was a bit clearer with indicating what you are doing, like just having an outline around the item you're currently selecting and highlighting the current inventory tab that you're on.
- Burps still happen during bloating and belly rubs even when they're turned off in the menu.
- It would be nice if there were different room options for the Warehouse. I'd say the same for the city, but I'm sure that's a bit of a stretch at the moment. I'm happy with just having the city itself anyway, it's a great addition and much more rewarding than space was.
- Sometimes the furniture in the room will randomly appear thrown about when returning to the room, even if my character is on the small-side and hasn't knocked anything around.
- Belly rubbing doesn't always cause the character to stay still, more often than not they keep moving around whilst I'm trying to give them belly rubs which can be a little annoying at times.
- The interface of the Weight Loss Clinic is very messed up and buggy. The add and subtract buttons don't work either, so I have to manually input the numbers every time. I've attached an image of what the menu looks like for me (this happens regardless of what the numbers are, even if they're all at zero).
- Speaking of the weight clinic, I think that the system needs to be balanced a bit more fairly as well, since it becomes practically impossible to use when reaching the massive sizes due to how expensive everything becomes.
- Scenarios still don't seem to trigger a lot, and I tend to get the bad result way, way more often than the good one, and this is even with the positive outcome badge. I also wish that scenarios were a bit more varied and fleshed-out in general, same with dialogue. I'd like to be able to properly talk to my character more often, with different dialogue options and such which might affect some things.
I'll probably keep adding to this comment in the future if I encounter any further bugs with 0.5, same with adding suggestions. Like I did with my last comment here for 0.4.
