Chub, Chomp, Chill (Version 1.2 Out Now!)

I can’t seem to get the resolution settings to do anything, and my screen is stuck at some weird tiny resolution- Here’s a full-screen screenshot for some reference. My display is 1600x900.

Edit- this has been fixed in the hotfix. Thanks for the quick response!

This is a way bigger update than I thought it was going to be. You’d be justified if you were to jump it straight to v0.3 or v0.4.

Thank you for your hard work!

I’m a little disappointed to hear about the potential scrapping of the conversation and personality system, but I have some potential suggestions as compromises that may be easier to implement if you want to go through with it.

I think the into gaining and not personality choice can be be replicated through idle animations and reactions to weight changes in the future. Characters that enjoy gaining weight could be bummed when they lose it and the opposite when they gain it. Characters that hate being fat maybe occasionally stop and frown after waddling about and celebrate when they lose weight, etc.

You’ve mentioned dialogue takes a ton of time to write so this could effectively cut a large chunk of it as long as animation work isn’t even more time consuming than dialogue.

You could also go as far and do this for the 4 core personality types if you like the idea. Maybe each one gets a specific idle animation. The personality stuff is cool but there are undoubtedly more time efficient ways to implement it if the current system is too much to handle.

As for like v0.3? The only things I’d like to see in the short term are ways to lose weight through specific food or activities like a treadmill that just passively makes them lose weight while they use it. I think the loop of get fat → get thin → get fat again is entertaining but that’s just me. Also would save the trouble of needing to start a new game to play around with a thin character.

Overall though, this was totally worth the wait and the scope of additions and changes really caught me by surprise. Thank you again for all the hard work!

Here’s a quick question: the devlog mentions you got a custom shader and this somehow fixed the clipping on the clothes, do you have any idea how that worked? It might be nice to know for future reference.

Oh gosh, thank you! Glad you’re liking the update!

Thank you. The bloat is definitely something I’ll polish up later, including it not looking so jarring and the animation quirks. Though the character should start walking again after they burp. Maybe I overlooked something in the code.

Stuff like burping to de-bloat and belly rubs increasing burp frequency sound pretty interesting too!

Thank you for playing!

Hmmm… All of that does sound like a pretty darn good idea! I think that might be achievable. I can definitely look into it at the very least. Sounds pretty economical as well. Thank you for the suggestion!

A way to loose weight is definitely on the list. Probably as a food item or something. Something like a treadmill would be pretty fun, but given how big people like to make their characters, I doubt I can make enough treadmills to accommodate how large characters can get XD

I think you might need to tilt the boobs up too when the belly gets too big.

If I recall correctly, the shader reads whatever UV texture you assign it. Any parts of the texture that are black, it makes that part of the body invisible. So for each article of clothing, I make a black and white UV texture sheet for the body. The parts where the skin would be under the clothing are colored black.

The expansion seemed to stop at a certain point for some reason, but when I reloaded the save it resumed again. Cause is unknown but if I could hazard a guess, it happened when I gave it multiple muffins (or similar) items in a row.

Edit, I should also mention that the soda did a weird thing too, it made the belly apear to shrink and it didn’t resume normal size when I gave her another one when the effects wore off.

sounds like a minor feeding program glitch to me

Definitely a fun update! I went the route that my the route my boyfriend took and made myself in the game, albeit a bit less lewd. This was my end result:

Pics of Big Boi



I basically turned myself into the bottom heavy blob of my dreams!
A few things about the game I wanna bring up:

  • I wasn’t getting the end of day card and weight gain summary, meaning that I couldn’t see how my weight was progressing. Dunno if this is a bug or intentional.
  • This ones a bit weird. So I had to mute and minimize the game cuz my sister came into the room. It was hidden for, like 20 or so minutes. When I tried to pull it back up, it was frozen, the screen bugged out and shrunk into the corner. I used Task Manager to close it out, and when it came back, my hair was black for some reason. No clue what caused that exactly, but it did keep my weight and buff progress, so that’s good.
The Pudding with the Proof (and extra pudding)

All in all, a major improvement on the initial release, and I cannot wait to see more additions! Definitely one of my favorite little games from the community, at least of this type! :grin:

As a test I did Hips only items, and when I reloaded the game not only was the fat areas evened out (an older reported bug) but it also changed the colors of my character’s hair and clothing to black and other dark colors (also has been reported). My previous saved games hadn’t had these issues so I’m stumped.

do you think there could be a force-feed option but at the expense of extra happiness?

I am not sure what the plan is for the next updates but I played the game for a while and think that some of these might be helpful.

I think that there should be a couple of new features, I don’t know what is next up but here are some of the things I suggest.

  1. More customization options, right now we only have about 4 for body shapes, opening up to having more body shapes like a buff for arms, thighs and face can give more of a sense of freedom. I am not going to lie when the butt buff is too much it looks unbalanced.

  2. A way to respec,view or look at the weight gained and fullness. There are many times where I cannot figure out what is the max levels for the buffs and some of the fullness, I just kind of meander my way till I stop seeing growth. Being able to either lose weight or remove buffs will be nice.

lastly,3.
A way to overstuff or force-feed in a sense, as personally it bugs me when it just abruptly stops and you go any more, I mention this before but it could cost more to do so, but eventually, it will cause a negative event. Likewise, the opposite of that would be like small games to Gain 2x or 3x the happiness gain from head rubs and belly rubs. At higher levels, happiness takes ages to become useful if that makes sense.

Thanks so much for adding a male option to this! It made my day to create and fatten up my little dude.

The cosmetics you mentioned are great ideas, especially if your character were to get a job at a casino.

Ooo, that brings up another cosmetic idea; Bikini and Leotards.

Maybe even tails to go with them, so we can do the furkini look.

There comes a time when the character gets too big and the clothes start to bug, wouldn’t there be an option to take her clothes off?
