Rly like this chillout "ZEN" game!

I have NO performance issues, the game only utilizes minimal CPU-Load and uses very little RAM. Everything runs smooth!
(running on an old i5 4570)

Cool
idea: maybe options: graphics / symbols(colorde dots) / words only

(4 edits)

these are all Marvelous Plans!

pointing out one thing here:
If you disable graphics the "data" should not be hidden completely but replaced by words or colored dots (!?)

So far the graphics seem to look cute and the pixel style leaves room for interpretation so i would not disable them most of the time 👩🏻

Eat!

Ingame Styling and Customization will be fun!

When piercings and glasses are customizeable ingame i assume the hairdresser will accepting everyone too? not only the player character?

- Is cooking in the home update?
- is a more interactive clothing system in the home update?
- How many hours does your day have to add all those features/content/options? 

best regards

yay pool! *splash* 💦

Guess noone expected the portrait image system!

Looks like the home update will have way more girth then most would have expected too!

The continuity of passion you invest in this project is exceptional!


Ps.: Hope there will be fitness equipment home-upgrades (?) Funny that in RL almost every chubby person has some kind of fitness equipment at home but the lanky ones do not. Guess having some sort of  exercise machine near you, so you do not have to go out, is a confirmation of ones lazyness :P

The main game is fun!
The minigame is unplayably bad.

What you are looking for is the Upgrade below, which works for all personality types now!

Discriminating Eye

You have developed a keen eye for potential. Once per week, you can seek out a specific personality type at the train station.

Cost: £5000 | Requires: Level 20

Both body types (conditions) are definately noticeable - in the "check her out" description but also at dates and in the bedroom scenes!

i thought about "personalities" and what i found was that some of them focus on their job, hobby or way of live, while others are about  their body and weight and some are defined by their emotional state.

I feel like the personality update will give us a lot to discuss even before it is out or even announced ;)

Having a variation of every personality that likes different weight stages would ofc be interesting (besides beeing a lot of work).
I rather would like to see completely new personalities then variations though.

It is already very possible to trick a feedee and reverse roles, if you play it right!>Actually i never played with player WG OFF, since the player character was introduced.

Good point to have feeder gals even when there is no palyer WG.
Maybe there still could be a player character if you switch "Player WG OFF". So you create a player character as normal just without the gain - a  "can eat what i want but do not gain" chartacter ;) Then you could play the feedes as normal and they will be surprised that only they gain. Maybe even gain by just looking at you eating.
This would be like a "Free Mode" where you do not have to worry about your own weight.

Difficulty levels where already announced! So this could be the "ultra easy" or "free mode".

The more awareness the better! (... sry what was the break even awareness again?)
More employees also sell more!

Thanks for the detailed and relieving answer.
Your post was certainly interesting even for "just" players.
Yes i was worried why you would downvote my answers, when i tried to clear things up.
My intention was to help other players out!

My "role" is NOT "developer" but i certainly had my influence on the game.
(i cared a lot about the savegame system for example.)

thanks & kind regards

Saving the frame the game is running in worked for me (firefox).

... did i say anything wrong?

(5 edits)

No not "officially".
I take part as a player by reporting bugs and making various suggestions.
I watch the developement closely.
Actually you can see some of my ideas, mostly small but significant details, in the game. Becasue, thankfully, the developer "taylor applebrook" received almost all of them very well.

Ps.: i'm more into "gameplay featuers" then into "artistic content".

!Hint: different shake formulae can be obtained in the dizzys underground facility.

Many things you suggest are planned and or confirmed for the next "jobs&home" update!

An Update Roadmap would be cool, becasue i have seen ppl suggesting the same and already confirmed things repeadetly.

i like it when "NPCs" can become more involved in the game!

Btw.: Playing the game in "slow burn" style this time. Slowly discovering the fine details, instead of a maxing out speedrun.

Noticed that there is the job description "Carer" now for townies.
Does this mean that it is a character who will potentially act as a carer for ppl at home?
So we can date the carers now if we meet them in town?
Or are they seperate persons? 

Since this is a kind of medical condition it should be optional.
The dev already stated that health problems will be optional if included at all. 

Personally i'm not into any of it, to be honest.

(1 edit)

imho
if this detail is adressed it should be temporary, not permanent.
Maybe a remark after weightloss but no permanent condition.

Weight, Fitness and the resulting conditions should be very flexible!
Becasue of gameplay, not realism ofc.
You should be able to move back and forth in an endless game.

Ofc some things, like height, base skincolor, eye color and base haircolor should be permanent.

Ps.: I suggested a tanning system (also non permanent ofc.) and the dev was very positive on it.

There will be home upgrades that allow you and everyone living in your place to stay at any weight! (even max weight!)

More about it - read below.
... itchio comment section can be a labyrinth i know ;)

I'm sure that the next update will surprise us all in a good way!
Thanks for the pool - swimming or floating in water and beeing fat works so well together!

Currently i have no more content suggestions, a few feature or QoL requests might come up. 

Question about the update path tho:

Will the fitness route ie.: fitness center you can run to compete against DDD be included in "jobs & home" or "Explorable London & Dizzy's Progression" ?

Wow!
Profile pics will certainly make it much easier to identify your "contacts" much faster.
Remembering the girls names and their corresponding looks is very hard.

I like that it is kept in low res pixel art - so it doesen't distract from the written fiction!

Are your doing the pixel art, have you hired someone or is it procedurally generated?

(Ps.: wonder if there are text game purists that do not want graphics at all?)

(1 edit)

Would be nice to see an upcoming feature list to  get a glimpse of the "home & jobs" update.

Will there be a swimming pool available for your home?

afair non player characters "townies" as well as your partner and housemate(s) will also get the opportunity to stay at their own  place to max weight?

is that correct?

(1 edit)

Copy paste from another message of mine:

A Fitness route, including a gym you can run, was already announced!

It will be used to lower the towns obesity rate, so it would be congruent when characters can get addicted to workout and lose weight when on their own!

Detox gain shake to get sober from workout might also be on the menu?

Basically exactly the opposite of what dizzys does!?

For the time beeing the best way to lose weight is usinge the "Medical Mastery Temporary Boost" in combination with "Weight Loss Medication" from the pharmacy. However the boosts are only available in later game, when you have reached MAX Level 20 - so don't get fat in earlygame :P

Cooking was also discussed since the beginning of the game, so im quite sure it will be a thing soon.

Also lower weight levels are replaced with others when you are above or below 50% fitness.

Quite cool how it works imho.

1, There are characters that like mutual gaining! Try to gain and see how diferent personalities react!

(Would NOT base autonomous gain/loss on the characters personality or their likes.)

3, Feature i guess.

conversations still happen occasionally when you in GF mode - just less, afair.

"heavy set" is a status that you only get when you have +50% fitness.
afaik when you have +50% fitness there is no "fat" or "very fat" status.
It has nothing to do with height but with your fitness level.

Alternatively you could just travel to a new town inside the existing savegame, keeping all the archievements, money, XP and fluffiness rate!
Maybe go to the newly opened  hairdressers and swallow some bitter weightloss pills from the pharmacy so the experience feels more then a new start but with all the archievements from the past!

BTW: i'm more interested in lowering the fatty rate again in future updates - which also was already confirmed!

One last comment from me on this.
It could be a relieve for you to let the idea of the preg theme go completely.
Many would breathe a sigh of relief if this potentially controversial area would be respectfully ignored (ie.: not implemented).

Guess the majority of players that voted for the "Improved Sex & pregnancy" update wanted the sexual sensations but not the preg anyway!

Yes some players would whine that they want impregnation, but that is rly the only downside of not implementing "it".

(PS.: There are ofc other themes in second helpings that i'm not particular into but totally understand that they are wanted by many other players and make sense in regards of the games focus.)

(1 edit)

The game has so much  things to offer!

Most ppl could get over not having pregnancy. If someone exclusively follows that specific fetish the game might not be for them.

Agree and have no problem to say that i would not include the preg theme at all.

Save and consensual sex only!  - Would be the savest thing to do. 
(Sure you followed what was going on here on itchio regarding adult themed games recently.)

As a dev i would not offer the theme in question at all, exactly bacause of the "age" restrictions you mentioned. If the update would be called "Improved Sex" only that would be perfectly fine and reasonable.

The game has so much  things to offer:

Enjoy the food! Indulge! Date multiple characters at multiple locations! Have Girlfriends! Marriage! Differnt Jobs! Sculpt Bodies!  Fatness and Fitness! Fun at your sweet home! Have fun at the beach! Watch a  movie! Eating competitions! Travel to other towns! Have Save and Consensual sex!
.... the list goes on and on.

Thus: Most ppl could get over not having pregnancy. If someone exclusively follows that specific fetish the game might not be for them.

If added, pregnancy shoud absoluteley be toggleable. Even if enabeld there should be another switch in settings between save sex and try for impregnation.

To be clear: i will not even enable pregnancy for testing purposes. I am not into the theme at all.

Carefully weigh your options here so you do not run into ethic problems, which could upset the fanbase (and others) more then having less game content.

Im sure you are aware of what controversies "life sim" games can cause.

It is reasonable that you have decided that offspring will not be actual game characters. Even if you would  let these characters age to adults immediately, you would have to block certain interactions with them anyway. 

Make the  consequences of pregnancy even more minimal?
Like: having a short story about parenthood, sleep deprevation, and that everything went well in the end ... years later ... the younger generation have grown to adults and live thier own lives ... you continue the game.

If you really want to have parenting included in the game then the player character should also have the chance to partake in that. Like losing a timeslot when your partner is not available for whatever reaason.
It is also clear that all family members have to always be cared for adequately.


Personally i could perfectly enjoy the game without the whole "pregnancy and its consequences" theme. Yes it means less content but also less problems.

Choose wisely on how to approach this!

Some  brainstorming and praising!

Having a very good experience with the polishing update so far!
Feels like it is for the high-gloss-mirror-finish-polishing phase now!

Actually not much things left to polish, the only thing i can think of beeing a "check her out" button when you agree going out after a girl taking the initiative.

Since there are no difficulty levels at the moment it looks like feedees are the easy mode, feeders are the hard mode and all other characters are the normal difficulty.

Love to go out with a feeder girl and let her partake in the business of indulging, when in the end she finds out that she has gained more then her date did, that makes me smirk. 😏

Wonder how feedees react when you let them starve but get rly fat yourself ... but have yet to try that!

Over all second helpings is  a very well structured, cross-genere text game!
Great open world dating sim with a strong focus on food and it's consequences!
