If I absolutely have to pick just one, then it has to be option #1. It's by far the most comprehensive and the national obesity rate mechanic, as it stands currently, is rather underbaked, so it could very much use being expanded upon.
I also like the home upgrade stuff you mentioned in option #3. That being said, I still would love to see my ideas concerning mobility scooters being added.
But again, if I have to choose ONLY one option, it's definitely option #1.
That actually makes me kinda sad. There was dialogue specifically for an immobile carer talking about "the person they hired to help me help you" and other such lines of dialogue.
These lines only appeared when they became immobile, so now there's no way to see them because they're immediately sent to Gentle Meadows and get the dialogue lines for fattened up care home staff when you visit them.
Now there's no way to see those lines anymore. I think this is one of those things that could be fixed by my mobility scooter idea, as it would allow the carer to stick around and thus, allow those lines to be used again.
Better yet, that particular model could include portable medical equipment like an oxygen machine and whatnot, allowing even enormous and ultra obese characters to move through the town as long as they're escorted by a carer or a fiancee, then return to the Care Home at the end of the day or whenever you're done doing stuff in town. Of course, ultra obese would be THE upper limit even with the fully upgraded model in this hypothetical.
You could have mobility scooter/hover chair upgrade packages unlockable either with feeder level, feedee level (if that ends up being added), or purchaseable with cash. The latter most option would get exponentially cheaper as the town's obesity rates and the nation's obesity rates go up as local subsidies and national subsidies come into play to assist a burgeoning populace get around.
Eventually, at really high obesity rates, you can get to the point where almost every girl starts barely mobile or immobile and has a mobility scooter of some degree of upgrades depending on personal income level and personality type and actually skinny women are as rare as gemstones. And best part? They would know it, having dialogue about feeling insecure being so small compared to everybody. (A bratty personality type might be more likely to have a higher upgraded model to start with, with the implication being that her dear old daddy/mommy bought it for her.)
The idea being that what starts as a simple mobility scooter would end up being this advanced contraption stocked with medical equipment, a portable feeding tube (usable on dates at any location on both girls and/or yourself), item storage, and whatever else our collective gooner brains can cook up.
I put way too much thought into gooner stuff bro... I hope the dev at least sees this so my embarrassing horny thoughts at least get used for something other than humiliating me.
I just thought of a great suggestion to give you. You know how the town obesity rate descriptors sometime mentions mobility scooters?
It'd be awesome (hot) if you added a way for the girls and the player to get one. My idea is that a mobility scooter, when bought, would allow the player or the girls to leave the house when they're at the immobile weight stage.
You could even allow it to be bought ahead of time from high street shops and let the player toggle when they're using it and when they aren't, creating some tantalizing dialogue where the player buys it even though they're skinny and slowly fill it out as they gain weight.
And it would take a persuasion check to convince a girl to get one. One that gets increasingly easy to pass as they gain more weight. And of course, a feedee girl will be far more willing to get one even when skinny, being turned on by the idea of never walking as a way to burn less calories.
Just an idea I had when my hand was in my pants.
Found another bug. I tried to leave for a new town after successfully 99% the current one. It sent me to a version with the home screen, except blank with no buttons to press, effectively causing a soft lock. The only way out was to reload the save from before I moved.
Shame. I really wanted to see what happens when the national rate reaches 100%.
I think all us gooners are starting to grow a little stir crazy waiting for the update, lol. I've gotten to the point that (when I'm not otherwise busy) I check this page once at least every three hours, like a "what if it releases mid day and I don't see it until next morning?!" type of thing.
Like, this is definitely by far the best fat fetish text adventure type game I've ever played. And why yes, I HAVE played more than one. If there's any place where I can admit that without shame, it's here.
There's a whole spectrum of weight gain related kinks that could be included at some point. Well, less "related" and more "often included together".
Like slob elements, health play, uhm... bathroom play (kinda feel weird when I mention that one), and so on. We're already all gooners here considering that we're playing a fetish game, so I might as well enlighten you as to the options.
Is the update going to be compatible with current save games, or is it going to be a restart and wipe the slate clean affair? I want to know because I kind of want to get a save prepared in such a way as to be in the perfect spot to immediately access the new stuff, but if the update is going to be incompatible with current save games, I'd like to know so I don't spend time doing that for nothing.
I dunno if you plan to update this any further (I hope so since its rattled my jimmies multiple times already), but if you are, i'd love to see Alex and Taylor interact with both the player and each other some more. The one event(s) that play near the end depending on if you have just Alex, just Taylor, or both, are excellent and i'd love to see more of it. I'd also love to see a sort of "good ending" where everyone stays together instead of leaving eachother behind.
I'm on Android, Specifically a Samsung Galaxy S(I forgot the number after the S, but it's like 5 years old), downloaded Joiplay and the Renpy plugin, downloaded the game, extracted the files, chose the Py file in Joiplay, it appears in Joiplay, so all seems to have worked. I click it, it says loading on a black screen with "powered by Joiplay in the bottom right corner", then automatically closes after a few seconds. It does this everytime I click it. Any idea what I've done wrong? The only idea I have is that I set the version number to 2024.4.25 which is what it says under the download button, but if that's incorrect I don't know where to get the actual version number.
