Hi,
Will the "Ability to move in with and/or marry a girl" be in the next update?
Maybe add a roadmap/feature list to the dev log section - that would be sweet!

Personally i'm all for additional gameplay featuers and meaningful choices!

Actually one really skinny stage would be nice - the fiction here beeing: "getting her out of that self destructive, anorexic behaviour".

I do not care much about further content ("stages") beyond immobility, but i understand others want to explore that fiction.

Reading that it will be a big update and there is RL stuff too, i do not expect the update soon.

Wish you creative energy!

high reding skill is required for some of the cat&ash events

Cool, but ofc you can decide to take the call or do something else (?)

Disagree,
Unique personalities make a girls character more pronounced then "combo" personalities.
"Shy or open" is already a game mechanic depending how well you treat the girl.
Also there would be too many combinations for the game format imho, meaning an immense workload for the dev/writer.

regards,

!idea for Savegames.

Group Towns when they are connected.

When you save manually you currently cannot see which towns are connected "via railway".

Maybe have connected Towns be grouped into "Regions".
humble crude example:

will "grind out" anyway, going against recommendations here ;)

Not true, i have checked it.
Paying more gives more push but not in a 1:1 ratio.
The more you pay the less bang for the buck you get, which is good because otherwise you could exploit that.

Humble Tip: Paying 3x - 5x the miniumum amount seems reasonable.

The update to v 3.0 made older savegames unusable because there was so much stuff added. So keeping your 3.x saves for 4.0 might not work.

!please NO large language model chatbot.

Suggested the same but for DDD staff, and the dev is positive on it.
So phone contacts for caretakers may also be an option in future.

Glitch (rare and hard to spot)

Conditionas are:
- there is and event at the greasy spoon (eating competition)
- Girl having a day off (Friday)
- you call for a day off at Afternoon
- greasy spoon was your last date
- she likes the greasy spoon location
- it is your last chance for that girl
 results in: greasy spoon showing off normally (green) but NOT as an event location (pink)  ie.: the event does not trigger.

The event works when starting the day off in the morning and then going to the event at afternoon. 
The event worked with other girls with the same conditions except "last chance" so my suspicion is that "last chance" has to do with it, but i might be wrong.

Good luck finding the needle in the haystack!

Splendid!

Glitch (hard to spot)

On a day off, when you visit a town location and then decide to "... go somewhere else" town events do not appear.
(You can work around this by not going "somwhere else" then go to town with a girl again.)

How could i overlook this until now! Reads as beeing great additions!

Yes, both of the female/female couple where close to immobility, was testing out who gives up earlier, so it might have very well been what you have fixed ;)

Small addition here: the player character beeing barely mobile is treated as skinny when getting seated in public transport. Happens when going to the theme park, (maybe at other locations too ?).

Small incongruency found (maybe the last for 3.x ?)

On a day trip in London, somtimes the color coding for activities works, sometimes not, sometimes resets to all blue.

At first i thought the colors get reset when the weight stage changes, but actually it resets randomly, could not make out a pattern.

Having a good laugh at the "watch TV" comments XD - which are nicely pointing out how bleak and mindnumbing this archaic form of entertainment is.

Dating with yourself huh?
The Player can visit all the places in town alone. Fitness activities have even more affect when you work out alone!
All the town events can only be attended by pairs.
imho the above should stay that way!

Starting Day Offs alone, plus the opportunity to meet and pick up "special" girls at those locations, would certainly be interesting!

I'm sure there will be more activities for the player alone in future.

Glad u like DDD shifts!

Curious about the unexpected now ;)

Ps.: My most anticipated upcoming feature still is: Moving in Together,  then eventually moving to another town together. The wole "together" theme basically!

DDD Playaround,
Everything seems to work like intended now when you get the employees back to town via a visit to gentle meadows.

Had an idea that would make the DDD workforce more palyable:
DDD Girls could get added to the contact list as soon as you hire them!
They would behave exactly like other townies then, except they gain weight faster becasue of their beneficial job. (Job description is obvious.)
Their free time could be split between the trio (morning, afternon, evening) so DDD can be open 247. Ofc they also should have their days off, they are not slaves after all ;)
The experience would be more congruent and comprehensible that way imho.

Hope you like some of the above, sure you have planned the lot regarding Dizzy's  

Regards

Noticed that with addicted girls you can still visit DDD when they ask for it, even when the shop is closed.
Also townies gain wieght from DDD addiction, even when the shop is closed.

Not sure if this is in Intended or a little oversight.

regards

What are updates 3.12 & 3.13, minor bugfixes only? Or did they add something to the game?

Ty elaborating.
My bad not noticing that in the first place, nice to know it for sure now.
Makes sense to have full flexibility here with the palyer character.

Playing on!

Hi,
Fitness always decreasing below the starting fitness value for the player character. Starting fitness was set to 25%.
Is starting fitness and base fitness not or no longer the same?
Did the player character never had a base fitness, but in never noticed?
Or is it a glitch?

*Edit - Learned that player characters have no base fintness.

Discovering all likes & dislikes could get hard, since when your affection is high enough you can no longer talk to the girls, it is only cuddling, kissing and woohoo.

Maybe make it so that you can still chat between eating and intimacy, or chat instead of intimacy, even when your affection is high?

Or maybe just give the personality away once you know a girl really well?

Btw.: i noticed there are some minor quirks with girls that worked in DDD, where moved to gentle meadows, then freed from it and moved to town.
The topic to talk about was autoselected for them, or sometihing like that(?)
Cannot point to it clearly yet.

Why these are the meaty ones: 
1. Improved fitness/weight loss system.
3. Ability to move in with and/or marry a girl once affection is high enough
7. Cooking minigame (use purchased/found ingredients to craft food & drink with a variety of effects).
!?
Because they are actually feature and gameplay-mechanic updates!
All the others are content updates, which is great but nothing completely new.
"Belly rub" minigame beeing the only minigame update here.

#3 Beeing the real big gamechanger here imho! Not only becausee of the added romance, but also because of it beeing the only way to move a girl to another town - with you!

regards

Agree!

Yup it is working now!

Would be cool to have the Personality displayed in the phone contacts list.
It is not always clear from the responses what personality they match with.
Maybe bake that in when you rebuild the phone list with the sorting options.

Ty for the speedy fix!

(Ps.: do i become a mayor bug tester here? *giggles*)

Bug - game-freeze!

Invited this girl on a day trip to london. The game freezes when clicking on "Let the date begin!". Seems to loop to the same screen indefinitely. 100% Reproduceable.

All other day-trip-locations work perfectly fine! Only "London" freezes/loops.

Day: 750 (Monday)

The Girl:

Lola Ellis (161.6 kg) (+4.6 kg)

Height: 163 cm | BMI: 60.8 | Shape: Hourglass | Fitness: 45% | Status: Very Fat

Job: Musician (Off: Mon & Tue | Free: Morning)

Likes: The Shepherd Arms, Stand-Up Comedy, Dancing, Music

Dislikes: Tower Meadows, the Art Gallery, Her Job

"Handsome" is officially not a gender-specific word. Could use it for both genders. Strange it is almost exclusively used for men. If used for women it may indicate a boyish appearance.

Glad the aesthetic fix is done.

Splendid

As fast as you fix bugs it is no problem if you release versions early.
Actually i would recommend to release as soon as there are no gamebraking bugs.
It is much easier and quicker to let players find bugs/glitches!
Spotting your own oversights is just damn hard - let others do that for you! ;)

Another Glitch / Oversight

When a girl gets immobile during an event at a day out, there seems to be no event description for that circumstance. The girls DO talk about beeing unable to move during the eating/food part, but the story part describes them as "slender" and the event continues as normal.

Guess you have to be rather creative to get out of that quirk ;)
Continue the event as barely mobile until you get home would be the easy fix.
Having extra srories for every event would  obv be the hard way.

Here i vote for the easy way because it does not take too much away from the overall experience and story.

regards

... if i could vote again one of my choices would be 7. "Cooking minigame (use purchased/found ingredients to craft food & drink with a variety of effects)."

Cooking didn't appeal to me right away - but now it does ;)

More personalities, on the other hand, are hardly improtant because the 16(!) existing ones cover everything from posh to fedee imho.

i voted: 1. 3. 5.
would change that to: 1. 3. 7.

Cool that you like the idea,
Very much looking forward to that revamp.
Treating weight and fitness seperately but with certain connections is probably a good idea. Other games do that by distinguishing between  "cardio" training to lose weight and "strenght" training to build muscle/fitness.

Sure you have some additional ideas up your sleeve.

regards,

Cool quick fix that feels a bit rushed.

What about the ability to administer the weightloss medication to your girls when you are at your,  their and the care -home? Plus: not only when they are immobile.

That way the pharmacy/medication system could also replace the medicine currently available at their home and the care home.
Ofc that feature would have to be available without player weight enabeled then.

(Ps.: Nice to see how inventory and cooking can work in future.)

Ok then i lke Strawberry - slender but bubbly breasts can be cool!

Dunno exactly what ppl mean with teardrop shape - maybe just thighs and nothing?

Glitches!

1. Character Contact Says:
"Job: Data Entry Clerk (Off: Sat & Sun | Free: Morning)"
But the girl is only free at Evening.

2. Color coding of town locations somtimes does not happen - visited locations stay blue.

3. After a DDD staff member was moved to gentle meadows the time of the day is: "It's undefined. What do you want to do?" This day always ends after one  single event.

There is a Feeder Upgrade called Staff Room Treats:  "All snacks and takeaways given to care assistants provide 100% more calories."
