This game is based enough for a 5 dollar patreon, imho

The game seems to be getting stuck on the weeks. I got to week 5 and then the weeks stopped changing. I was up to week 5 day 18 when I decided to restart the game. On my restart, the issue occurred again but this time on week 2.

Edit: It only appears to do this if you click on skip to get pass the already seen dialogue. Once I stopped using skip, the issue stopped cropping up.

Thanks for reporting this issue, i don’t know where to start diagnosing this one.
Whenever this happened, what were you able to do on the days going past 7?
Gotta have to maybe program in some safety checks to make sure it puts you in the next day/week.

Got a similar issue, mine is for week 8, I am using saves from .01, is that an issue?

Yeah, i believe 0.01 saves break the game.
I highly recommend starting over.

@charfire2002 I found the issue, when you either go to the gym for the first time on Sunday or go watch a livestream for the first time on Sunday it makes you go to day 8 which doesnt exist. I am gonna create a patch which fixes this. Everyone who has this problem(easily recognized by the day in the top left being higher than 7) can download the update and continue the save, the game will put you on day 1 of the next week if it sees you being at day 8 or higher. expect the patch in an hour or 2.

Loved the new update, albeit hopefully at some point I won’t need to start again each time I want to play a new update XD

I like the game but I do have a few comments about it.

  1. I feel like the amount of money you make from your job should be a little higher. Between buying food to feed to multiple people and having to buy books, it feels like money can be a struggle at times. Maybe consider raising the pay from $10 after school to $20 and from $20 on weekends to $50. As an alternative to raising pay, maybe make the books free since you are getting them from a library and not a book store.

  2. I wouldn’t mind getting a back story for Luna. We know that Daisy wants to gain weight because of the cult and the other women are unintentionally gaining weight because the MC keeps giving them fattening food. What we don’t know is why Luna has agreed to gain weight to help Daisy. Is she also part of the cult? Does she have her own unique reason for gaining weight?

  3. This could just be me but Daisy’s first day on the job seems to conflict with her being in the cult. If the plan was always to gain weight (due to the cult), than why show up the first day and give a boring lecture and than struggle to come up with a way to gain people’s attention? It feels like her second day should have been the first day. The way it should have played out in my opinion; it’s a class that no wants to be in due to its boring nature, so the first day plays out the way it does on the second day (barely anyone shows and Daisy explains her plan for the class). On the second day, people come flocking to the class because they heard about the first day (just like the third day) and than the game continues as it already does. If it wasn’t for the cult angle, I would actually be okay with how the first day played out. It would have been a brand new, naive teacher desperately trying to get the class to attend and pay attention so she comes up with a unique hook that she maybe didn’t fully think through but ends up enjoying more than she thought she would.

This update gave us a bunch more great content and the game is already very fun with lots of potential, but I have to agree with the points made here.

The money situation isnt TOO bad, there are certainly periods where you get into loops elsewhere and going to work seems to be the best way to progress anyway, but funds might be spread more thin than intended? It would be nice if we made more money as suggested, like $20 for a weekday evening at least.

It’s a little funny that you have to pay so much for books from a library, where books are usually free. Maybe instead of paying for the books when you take them out, you have a certain number of days to read them before returning them, and if you dont they cost $5 or something every day they are late. This would also mean having to spend more actions reading if you take 2 books at once or the late fees would add up faster. If you return them and can’t pay, you can’t take more books until you do. Just an idea. We’d always be able to pay eventually so long as we can make more money in a day than we’d be charged in fees.

It would also make sense for you to be able to read at home, especially when books require 7 readings to complete, and right now you can only do it once on weekdays as your action in class. I feel like if I want to use time at home to read a book I should be able to, instead of something more instantly entertaining.

The WG cult angle does come a bit out of nowhere, and as stated makes the first class seem odd. In general, Daisy seems so shameless about her body and her interests after that first day, and you’d expect someone already in a cult to be pushing their beliefs immediately. A little more clarity regarding her deal would be beneficial to the story. I do hope if the cult idea is here to stay it will have more influence outside the classroom soon.

Once again though, it’s shaping up to be awesome already even in this early stage. Thank you for your efforts!

Im glad you both like the game and thank you for your invaluable feedback.

  1. Money and everything that you buy with it will have many revisions, the current prizes and money you make will change in the next couple updates whenever i add more things to buy and add more content to working allowing for you to get a raise. But with that said, hearing that you think money right now isnt easy to come by will certainly help me tweak it better.

  2. Back story for Luna will come in future updates, this will make it clear why she is gaining weight.
    The same goes for all the other characters, they will all get their own stories and events explaining what and why.

  3. The cult explanation will make more sense in the future when we get to it. I like your suggestion about maybe removing the first day of the teacher, it doesn’t really fit her character at all. I am working together with a talented writer to make some more sense of the story i want to tell.

  4. The paying for books thing is a bit weird i agree, i thought about it before releasing 0.02 but the reason i put it in like this was to have some kind of monetary goal to work towards. This will change when there is something better to buy with money. And reading at home is a great idea, no reason not to implement this.

The game’s great I know a lot of it’s a work in progress I can tell a big difference in the other characters just from the single update. I would say I know this is going to get addressed at some point when the dialogue and scenes are a bit more fleshed out. But I would love to see more variance in scenes with either dialogue or things that can happen when interacting with the different girls. Especially as weight levels change. Even if it’s different outfits, places, thing they are doing.

The girls at the Cafe/Diner since there gain is based on whom you work the weekend with (I believe or the values at which they gain are incredibly slow). The girls became very unbalanced for me as Lisa was already stage 3 with the other two not even hitting stage two.

It’s refreshing to see sex scenes in a game with this fetish as it is often much less common or simply implied. I love what you are doing with that and look forward to seeing more. I would assume we will be able to have the same kind of detail in the future for feeding or taking the girls out. I would love to see a bit of that or have a scene play when selecting the options in future builds.

Keep up the good work I think you have a solid foundation and honestly a lot of content I look forward to seeing where you take this.

@Krodmandoon Thank you for the great feedback.

I want to know if you like variance in things to do to be more random, choice based or maybe only certain things on specific days? I do think variety is really important so this will be something i will focus on.

Yeah the coworkers in the cafe are completely randomized so it could lead to stuff like this. I want to get a couple checks in place to make sure the rng doesnt make the same thing happen 5times in a row.

I have always been a bit surprised why there weren’t many sex scenes in games with the wg fetish, i polled it before the update and only 8 percent didn’t want to have sex scenes in the game, I might actually make a toggle to disable sex scenes for the people who want to play without. But yes i want to expand on those and have detailed feeding scenes like that too.

I think (for how I am envisioning things) that random would be most fitting.

Another thing related to the same fact that often happen is either the girl you are working with, or you took over for her shift, will often show back in to eat inside.

It would be nice to see that maybe once every so often you get a call from work that is one or more of the girls are asking you to come down and work since it’s so busy. And this would work similar to the weekend where you get to work with one (or more) of the girls at a time. Probably functioning in the same way as the weekend shift in my opinion. Currently with how the game is balanced and the book buying aspect. Going to work was the thing I did the most and it would totally fit with how many characters show up there to have some interesting random scenes.

I agree it is a bit weird to relieve a girl of her shift at work, only for her to immediately return as a customer, it makes no sense and it would be easy to block out her appearing, like if randomroll1 is girl2 then if randomroll2 rolls girl2 as a customer, reroll randomroll2 or whatever.

@Krodmandoon @namad I will program in some check to make sure the same girl you relieved from work wont show up as a customer. i will make working in 0.03 a lot more engaging.

I’m looking for a story/dialogue writer, please reach out to me if you are interested or know someone who would love to do it.

[spoiler]From what I can tell you can only read books 3 times a week maximum, maybe you should let the player read a book at home instead of studying? Otherwise it feels a bit like it’s not possible to finish reading the books stage 8 unlocks before stage 9 occurs, meaning if there are image variations requiring both stage 8 and reading comprehension I’m not sure if they can fire.

edit: sidenote, I do not believe any such variations exist :smiley: so it’s not really a problem. feels like an odd balance choice though.

edit2: almost everything a girl eats is 0.3 weight stat, might be more interesting if they weren’t the same, is a donut really the same as a burger afterall?

edit3: if luna has stage2 images of her at home scene, I think they might be impossible to access (stage3 first time I got there, in part I think because the event cannot fire on the day it unlocks only 7 days later, might wanna make it wednesday not tuesday so it happens 1 week sooner?)[/spoiler]

@namad Books are will be readable in free time as well in the next update.

The weight stat increase balance will be tweaked a lot in the coming updates. it makes sense that certain things would make her fatter than others but i also don’t want to create a situation where you would always just pick the most fattening option, so i was thinking making more fattening options either more expansive or unlock later.

There is no Luna stage 2 home images, she becomes available after Daisy her stage 9 event which also puts her into stage 3.
