(1.3 UPDATE) [Fatgeria] Feeding Russian noble girls into immobility!

[Krodmandoon]

I think more options are fine for those that want it and I don’t see a downside outside of the dev time required for it. I like longer dev cycles for more content within an update and it helps having a three or four month break in-between updates as I don’t mind replaying content I’ve seen and enjoyed as long as it’s not “too often.” When done too often like on a monthly dev cycle I tend to lose interest in a game. I appreciate there are those that want constant updates but small short updates aren’t for me personally, and just lead to a sense of “burn out” for me with that particular game, which can lead to me dropping the project.

Skipping the story doesn’t appeal to me and something I would never use after all. I wouldn’t play a story focused VN if I just wanted a pure sandbox game but I don’t think it’s a bad idea assuming there’s enough of a demand for it. The second idea seems to help play into that sandbox; just stuff the girls and watch them gain type of thing. However, so much of the cg’s and everything is tied to the story. It might make more sense to just allow them to toggle weight stages in game, and unlock all cgs in a sandbox mode where they can just feed the girls. Trying to tie that and have it reflected into the story seems like it goes against the point of people that want to skip the story. Which sounds like a lot of work for these ideas, and I don’t know the demand for it. I know I wouldn’t personally use these features if they were implemented myself. I’d be interested to know the demand for features like this compared to how the game is now.

Version 1.3.1

---

• The right corner that has the artist’s links can often trigger even outside of the main menu. For instance in the settings menu just clicking in that area will take you to one of the artists links. I often do this by accident when the game is booting up and doing that fade transition into the main menu before anything is visible causing me to accidentally click into that corner (normally because the game starts in windowed mode.)

• Kirill’s updated sprite clips through some of the objects and walls when running near or against them, also running into the invisible walls cause the screen to shake and stutter often causing Kirill’s sprite to miss frames (I believe.) Sometimes this stutter is reflected in scripted cut scene moments when Kirill “bumps” into one of the objects/walls paths. Such as walking into the classroom or walking from the dueling area during the intro scripted cut scene.

• Kirill’s sprite can be on the lowest layer for the left side of the classroom, this makes navigating it a nightmare. Exiting/reloading can cause/partially restore him to a higher layer. The desk in the back row on the left side also normally pops out under one of the other layers so it’s not visible when you walk into the classroom.
  

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

• In the gallery when first starting up the game on the very last page it’s just full of the first image of Kirill shirtless in his bathroom.
  

  

• There’s an issue with the rug being on the wrong layer in Kirill’s bedroom which makes it clip over the desk, tv, and couch.
  

  
  
  
  

• The chair at the desk in Kirill’s room doesn’t have any collision, or Kirill is on the wrong layer relative to it.
  

  

• Same issue with the statue at the bottom of the map.
  

  
  
  
  

• Times are tough for Galina. Exiting the game and reloading can cause/fix this issue.
  

  

• At the seating area(?) in the dueling rooming you can walk up the stairs at the back of the room on either the left or right and get stuck up where the bench is. I don’t remember if you can normally get up here (or if this is a layer issue that is not allowing me to navigate my way down) but generally just walking towards the top step will push you up to the top and from there I couldn’t find a way to get back down.
  

  
  
  
  

• Igor’s sprite is really tiny if you save before the first fight you exit the game and load back in.

• Lera breaks up multiple times. The first time was when Lera started to gain and Galina at her starting weight. At the end of that day that I went to the park with Galina, Lera approached me. She texted me the next day in which she was going to come back. Studying that next day Lera broke up again. Which followed in another text about returning to school the day after that (she happens to be there this same day though.)

• Reloading and having Galina progress to her first weight gain stage and setting up the route for the harem, when Lera is gone from school but has texted you about coming back, her sprite will show up but she’s like size 5 or 6.

Still have more to go but that’s some of what I found so far.

[loopzoob89]

the sandbox mode could be cool if it let you watch scenes without doing the gameplay segments in between? maybe a replay mode for scenes that you’ve already watched? (like Metal Gears Secret Theatre mode)

[Marduk]

Hello Key, I hope you’re doing great!
Well, first of all, your game looks cool! Even leaving the WG content aside, I think it has an interesting premise. Having said that, I wanna buy it, but, I’ve got a few questions since I’m not that good with tech in general x’d.
For example, now that you have released patch 1.31, can I buy the game from steam and then get this new patch fro free to install it and play the game from steam with the WG content? I sort of want the steam achievements hehe. Following on with that idea in mind, what do I need to do or how could I contact you as to prove I have acquired the game from steam in that scenario?
If that’s not how it works, then, let’s say I pay for the second tier on patreon, would I get access to the base game and the patch ? If so, now the most important question, how do I install the patch whether it is within steam or as a game outside it x’D ?
Thanks in advance! I really wanna play the game but wanted to make sure how this all works first before paying on one site or the other.

[Xzanos]

I like whats here but as someone who was hoping for more weight gaming I guess things felt a little too focused around the rpg for me.

[daftidiot1]

I’m guessing you’ve already beaten some bs?

[Krodmandoon]

Version 1.3.1 cont.

—

• I had an issue where at stage one for Leria her stage two gym cg and text plays instead of the stage one. This was on the very first gym date right after she gains weight to first change to her gym clothed sprite.

• Choosing the option to skip the prologue causes Galina to already appear as Hog in your messages and there is a text about armor before you have ever even talked to her (especially before the “start a conversation about armor” option.)

• You can go and buy ashes in the tutorial before it prompts you to. If you do you lose the arrow hinting you how to earn money and to do the exorcism. You also get stuck in the store page with no way to exit (outside of popping open another app on the phone) also makes it seem like you’re stuck since you can’t exit the phone screen at this time. It also throws the arrows out of whack. This will fix itself if you just go through the options to earn money and “buy the ashes” again if done in the wrong order.
  

  

• When choosing to learn physical data with Lera, after closing and walking away the MC’s sprite does not update to face the correct direction for a few frames. It is also missing the walking frames since the sprite does not update to face the correct way (of course you are limited to not be able to run during this either.) Some other actions cause this same issue but they are related to talking to npcs and then starting to move. I haven’t been able to always recreate them. Also this sometimes happens after accessing the phone and then starting to move after closing it.

• I’ve had to restart multiple times due to bugs, so something I noticed is that the feather pens for Lera’s quest can not spawn in the beginning making her request to find them impossible to do. In my instance the only one that was visible was by the fountain and the other four never appeared. Not sure if this is a layering issue and I’m not able to see them, or an issue of them not spawning in, but I tried clicking around the areas they should be when she requests to collect them and was not able to complete that part of her route. (I have successfully done this on 1.3.1 on other save files so I would guess it’s an issue from the start.)

• The food competition cg was unlocked in the gallery before I ever got to it, right after I started the harem route.

• The instance with Lera’s sprite appearing to be much larger seems to trigger right after the call from Yevgeny about the Tsarevich being killed.

@Krodmandoon

Reloading and having Galina progress to her first weight gain stage and setting up the route for the harem, when Lera is gone from school but has texted you about coming back, her sprite will show up but she’s like size 5 or 6.

This versions been a bit buggy for me, so I’ll probably check out more later.

@Xzanos

I like whats here but as someone who was hoping for more weight gaming I guess things felt a little too focused around the rpg for me.

There is a lot of “Weight gaming” in the last version of the game though. Around 100 more pictures that it is in the base game, and the amount of fetish dialogues will soon border the amount of “ordinary” ones.

@Civix

I’ve played new version a bit and quite like it so far

@chfeebbw

The new content really looks great (I still have a lot to see), but the changes it has received patch after patch are wonderful.

@Icez

Lovely update with amazing art and storyline!

@juangarcia2994

Great update and I have always loved your work.

Thank you for kind words guys! I’m sorry there were issues for you. Especially I’m sorry to @Krodmandoon as he seems to have found the most amount of bugs. I’ll get on working on them again, and I promise I will spend more time playtesting the game in the subsequent updates. It feels awful to hear your experience was hindered by such problems, I’ll put more effort next time

[Krodmandoon]

It happens, especially in indie dev. There’s likely always going to be bugs as there are in most projects, even AAA. It will always be far more likely that a few hundred to thousands of extra eyes find something that doesn’t pop up in play testing. I don’t mind it personally, it’s not a huge deal to me. I like to help out with issues I’ve noticed when playing through to help a dev further perfect their craft. It’s just unfortunate that some are likely pretty game breaking bugs that can stop natural progression.

The thing that’s harder for me to find or document is I feel like every time I play the text message system is inconsistent. Like when I receive some texts or the fact that I don’t. I think I’ve restarted like 5 times this version and reloaded saves more than that to check issues or potential bugs, and I still sometimes get text messages I haven’t seen yet in this version. It felt like that in previous versions as well. I’m not sure if too many texts are trying to populate at the same time, which would lead the game to prioritize one over the other or what the issue might be.

[themaninmidnight101]

Did the original VA for Valeria return for the update? I loved her work in the original game. She gave the character a soft yet intelligent feel with her voice work. I may not understand what the heck any of the cast are saying, but I do like how they say it.

Thank you for your kind words, Krod. I think I’m going to take around a week for 1.32 because I’m aiming to do some fundamental fixing and be done with all the technical debt I’ve been slowly collecting over the last updates.

She is very happy to hear that! Yes, this is the original VA, we’ve managed to collect all the girls back, so expect to hear Milana in 1.4, too. I know the voice over may feel as not too important for Fatgeria because the actors speak in Russian, but I think this helps create a certain vibe to the game and emphasize setting more. I think my next WG game will feature English voice over, though.

[Shatteraura]

Hello! Firstly, I just wanted to say, I am really enjoying your game so far, I threw you a few dollars on patreon, and was not dissapointed! I absolutely adore Valeria, her voice is extremely sweet (I seriously don’t even care that I don’t speak Russian, her voice is lovely!) and her personality is really unique!

As others have pointed out, there are quite a few bugs in the current version. It’s sad, but they can lead to softlocking the game, requiring loading a save. I’ll post what I’ve found personally, in the hope I can tell you something the others haven’t already:

Character’s voice lines quite often don’t sync up with the text, it seems to happen if a line doesn’t display properly, the person will speak, but the text box will be mostly empty, then the voice lines tend to be ahead of the current text.

Sometimes, dates don’t seem to cost any time.

The graduate battles that Yevgeny offers you can’t be done if you have no time units left, even if you have the money for it.

There are quite a few interactions that begin when you click on Valeria that can softlock the game. The conversation opens with the first line, then I can’t continue and have to load a save. This however may be due to something which I think is potentially a related bug. I think I skipped one or possibly two weight stages for Valeria. She was 85kg, and suddenly ballooned to over 250kg. There is a scene where Kirill uses necromagic to speed up her digestion, but that happened afterwards as far as I know. I think I caused the crazy weight gain accidentally by: Having the appetite 2 curse applied, feeding Valeria milkshakes, dating her at the cafe, and having her do a stuffing contest against Galina, all in the same day. (I’m amazed she didn’t burst haha) You might want to look at limiting these events if the girl is already full. I wonder if conversations that were meant to play when Valeria was thinner, are now trying to play but can’t because she got crazy huge instantly.

I’m really enjoying the game’s story as a whole, the characters are all fun and I like spending time with them, even if I prioritise the girls over the guys haha~ I do want to say a little something about one aspect of the story that I personally feel is a little off:

I feel as though Kirill’s personality, when talking to Valeria, is a little different from how he speaks with everyone else Galina especially. To me he seemed stoic and unashamed of who he is, willing to speak quite candidly, unless he thought he was going to lose something. After learing that Valeria has a humiliation fetish, some of Kirill’s actions make much more sense, but I feel like it needs to be hinted at more, earlier on, because I really didn’t see it haha (I could just be oblivious lol).

He later has the option to say that Valeria is a toy/object to him as opposed to a person. To me, Kirill has been lying to her and toying with her from the very start, which really made me feel bad for Lera throughout the route, even though she came to enjoy most of the things he was doing. I guess… I don’t feel that Kirill is completely justified right now, in having the option to say that he loves Lera as a person, because he’s lied too many times to her. This could just be a personal thing for me, that I feel a bit… guilty??? playing her route since Kirill doesn’t get the option to be nicer/lie less, to her. If no one else agrees, feel free to ignore me haha~

A very minor sidenote: I kinda wish the level 2 farting curse would happen more often as it just tends to be once per conversation, but I understand you don’t want to go too crazy with it, for the sake of hearing the dialogue lol. I would love to have it activate in the feeding minigame though, that’d be awesome!

I have spent far too long on this post now, I hope there is at least something useful in it. If not, then at least know I really love the game! Haha~

[gotchagacha]

You know I’ve been thinking about Milana as the one true feedee of the group and think it would be interesting to have her be the one of the three to most directly confront Kirill’s feeder nature. Like, have her feedee route be gated behind fattening up Galina or Lera enough for her to notice, she is an analyst after all and would pick up on that behavior, confront Kirill and blackmail him to feed her or make her the fattest, something to that effect.

The only thing I don’t like about that concept is how far into the calendar it would potentially put Milana’s content but I’m just spit balling here and I’m sure you’ve already got some plans in place!

[Keyfarer]

@Shatteraura

Hello! Firstly, I just wanted to say, I am really enjoying your game so far

Thank you so much! Very glad to hear this.

@Shatteraura

Character’s voice lines quite often don’t sync up with the text,

Oh, that’s actually quite possible… Alright, this will be one more thing to patch out in 1.32.

@Shatteraura

Sometimes, dates don’t seem to cost any time.

That’s actually intended, though not highlighted. I don’t want to punish engaging into relationships with girl. I’m leaving the cost of initial dates as 1 time point, but all the subsequent ones will be free.

@Shatteraura

which really made me feel bad for Lera throughout the route, even though she came to enjoy most of the things he was doing

Yeah, Lera is our little tragic girl who is so easy to exploit and manipulate. For some people, it’s part of the appeal, but you do have the options of being less shitty to her: don’t feed her meat, don’t hit her, don’t insult her. She will appreciate this, really. I’m glad I managed to provoke all these feelings for you, this is something I’m aiming for.

@Shatteraura

I kinda wish the level 2 farting curse would happen more often

Yeah, sure, I’m going to increase the frequency just like with the burping 2 curse. They have the same implementation, but the burps work better for some reason.

@gotchagacha

You know I’ve been thinking about Milana as the one true feedee of the group and think it would be interesting to have her be the one of the three to most directly confront Kirill’s feeder nature.

This is literally the idea I was aiming for: Milana confronting you after she sees you fattenning other girls up. Could also work with a nasty betrayal where Milana later comes out as a fake feedee who was just gaining weight to get your attention, which, I guess, is a valid way to write her, but that would mean we will really have no true feedees in the game.
I’m also afraid making Milana availiable only after starting to date other girls is a bit too much of a complex path for a casual playthrough. I think the best implementation would be to “trigger” her after doing several food gifts to other girls.

— key

[Shatteraura]

Thank you for the reply, you seem just as passionate as I thought you would be about your game, it’s great to see!

Glad to hear about the dates, hopefully you’ll be able to indicate the cost going away through the UI in future

As for Lera, I figured you’d say something along those lines, and I totally agree, I’m sure a lot of people would be super into it, even the path where Kirill REALLY treats her poorly, I respect your vision — It is interesting, because, I myself tried to treat her about as well as Kirill would allow me to, but even I ended up feeding Lera meat occasionally (though I never put the ground meat in the milkshakes), because it seemed to make her so happy. So perhaps I’m not 100% innocent myself eh? Haha~ (I need to try other milkshake combinations on a new playthrough, I almost exclusively gave her cream/icecream) Perhaps I need to look at it as: Lera’s eventual happiness justifies the lies? XD

Just a clarification, I’m guessing protein is not an animal product, is gainer an animal product?

Oh one last thing! I know about one bursting scene, where you can pop Lera with the Milkshakes, I was just wondering if more bursting content would be in the game later? When you overfeed a girl on the main map, it says: [Person] can pop like that! So I was just curious

[gotchagacha]

Ahh well glad I was not too far off base with this concept. Could be interesting to have her approach you with a slightly different attitude depending on who triggers the event; while you are enabling Galina’s bad habits she might be more forceful if its Lera you’re fattening up since that requires active sabotage.

I think with Milana there’s just a lot of opportunity to play more with the power dynamics, and I guess all of this somewhat suggests to me Milana will have a more dominant hand in the feederism dynamic but as always I am curious to see what you come up with!

Edit: Yeah I guess I’m trying to decide in my own head if Milana would approach saying something as rude as “I see you’ve been fattening that pig” → referring to Gallina vs something like “I know you’re sabotaging that poor girl” → referring to Lera.

[whimsie]

Honestly, the fact that the base game is legitimately a really good puzzle game with an actual fun story is really cool. I decided to do my first playthrough without combat, but trying the arena made me realize that I really should’ve done a “proper” playthrough first.

[Vilcheee]

yeah combats are pretty fun, but they take many minutes

[Keyfarer]

@Shatteraura

Glad to hear about the dates, hopefully you’ll be able to indicate the cost going away through the UI in future

Yes, I think the “-1 time” in the option name will go towards the dates themselves as opposed to them being in the dating option itself.

@Shatteraura

Just a clarification, I’m guessing protein is not an animal product, is gainer an animal product?

Lera is basically only opposed to eating meat, not animal products. She still drinks milk and eats eggs.

@Shatteraura

Oh one last thing! I know about one bursting scene, where you can pop Lera with the Milkshakes, I was just wondering if more bursting content would be in the game later?

I want to implement more bursting, but I’m a bit afraid it might be too much for my artists. Will have to ask them if they will feel comfortable enough for that. Otherwise we will have to stick to textual descriptions.

@gotchagacha

Milana will have a more dominant hand in the feederism dynamic

Exactly. Not only is she a feedee, she is also a very demanding and forceful feedee.

@gotchagacha

“I know you’re sabotaging that poor girl” → referring to Lera.

“poor girl” (Milana is responsible for Lera’s death in like 90% of timelines)

@whimsie

Honestly, the fact that the base game is legitimately a really good puzzle game with an actual fun story is really cool. I decided to do my first playthrough without combat, but trying the arena made me realize that I really should’ve done a “proper” playthrough first.

Thank you! I’m still planning on improving the battles. More skills, more circuits, more mechanics, better visuals. My dream is to add simple animations to the fighting screen, with the Slay the spire complexity kinda. Maybe better (bone animation) but that’s going to be tough.

— key

[Steele]

Don’t know why but after I enter a relationship with Galina I lose the ability to take her out on dates. I even played further for awhile to see if it came back but never seemed to. Might try going with no upgrades at all later to see if it is getting stuck offscreen on options somewhow but have had to reset many times so kinda burnt out atm
