Fattening Career - 3D weight gain visual novel (0.10 released for Free!)

Some opinions, thoughts, ideas, maybe something things not working as intended for 0.3a below.

Too much text below

I love the Leanne story stuff. I would say personally it was hard to tell in any shot outside of the story bits and the two events where Leanne was heavier, and she was doing any of her stream stuff. I think that maybe because I was rarely using the single pizza order once you unlock the five order. Since there are a few issues where daisy will revert back to a lower weight for certain images or frames while at school. I’m not sure if it’s something similar.

I can tell the difference for most of the weights in her streamer outfit (especially in the later stages) when I pull up the animation files, but you don’t get to see any of these with the five-pizza option. I do love the stuffing scene she does though. The images when she’s getting up from her chair and bending over don’t seem any different and outside of her story parts it was hard to gauge if she was gaining and I had to pull up the stats screen to see at times.

Leanne has two options to take her out at the diner or the sweets shop it would be nice if these were a bit more like Katrine’s diner outing scene. Where these is some food ordered and a scene and then it doesn’t just abruptly end. Similar to Katrine if we saw Lyn eat the food then get up and be stuffed depending on how much she at that would probably be all it needs.

The choice for Lyn/Leanne is a really interesting concept and I look forward to seeing where that goes.

I would say the stuffing scenes are good in that they exist but the click through a prompt over and over again with mostly the same dialogue is a bit tedious. And for how the sweet shops is currently set up repetitive. I think have a stuffing scene where there are some options to choose is great to have the option being a “feed another” not as great. The option to stop to have sex or keep going is good and makes sense. I think what might work best is some event that happens for stuffing that has the MC bring some treats with them. Let’s say a cupcake (probably different for some of the different girls as they may or may not have different tastes.) Then as the weight stages increase more cupcakes are able to be consumed and eventually you move on to a larger item. Slice of cake, more slices, whole cake, sheet cake, maybe funneling bowls of cake batter, etc. I don’t know that it works to add stuff like that to the sweet shop as it might bloat out all the items needed. This might make the most sense that if the MC were dating/feeding and having sex with a girl, for them to take care of said girl and bring something beforehand. Might be as simple as stopping into the sweet shop before heading over and buying something that the player doesn’t see what it is until the stuffing event.

The event stuffing and sex scenes are great some of my fav content in the game and even if something doesn’t have choices or much of it. It can be really good as in those scenarios. I would welcome a bit more of some of the stuffing stuff to generally show the food being eaten and it being consumed and some of the choices can be as simple as trying to ask if a girl wants more. Which might start off as a no but slowly opens the flood gates of gluttony as greed and stages become higher. Same thing with seeing the amount of food or type of food orders change as stages go by. Little things like this really add in my opinion to a scene for not changing a whole lot. It would be cool to see the MC be able to be more forceful in scenes in later stages with stuffing if that’s someone the player wants to choose and an option. Trying to encourage more consumption or even a bit of forcing as the girl denies it at first but greed and gluttony encourage her to push herself a bit more. All completely optional in a dialogue choice and consensual of course.

I think things that would help with weight sizes being different as well is after a certain number of stages (2 or 3 maybe) that characters change clothes as it would make sense, they are too large for what they were wearing. Maybe this happens more often the heavier they get as the size increases will be larger.

Similar to Lyn and Daisy issue, Lisa was hard to tell she increased in size from 2 to 3 (and I’m honestly not sure she did visually). The other two were obvious at every stage to me with Lisa if I didn’t check her stats page after I thought it might have happened for confirmation. I’m not sure I would have known for sure with stage 1 to 2.

It would be nice (although I think difficult with how many girls you have and how many stages of weight gain there are, which btw is impressive) if maybe the first time we see a girl at her new stage of weight she or the MC make a comment about it. It would be nice if it varied as stages went on as well, but it would help draw attention to it and also fit thematically in my opinion.

The weight gain is better for work for sure, but I still had some girls offset on sizes compared to each other by a stage or almost two. Since you aren’t able to target any girl, you work with on the weekend and its rng its likely to happen with how its currently set up. Also having some of the events tied to only the weekend with how many girls and options there are feels a bit bad. I like that there are somethings that are unique to certain times but going over to daisy’s and working alongside another girl being on the weekend feels odd with what’s currently in game. Maybe there is an event that has a chance when daisy (or other girls) come into the diner and while there ask you to meet them when you get off work and from there stuff/sex/event happen. Same thing with work when going into work during the week maybe it’s a freak busy period where you are working with someone else and well maybe something happens after closing time.

I also still had girls that were working or had just worked show up at the diner to eat and it seems a bit odd for that to happen especially with the pool of girls to choose from.

While Lyns animations play you can’t access any of renpy’s menu or save/load options it keeps force closing everything until it’s done playing.

I love Luna’s gain. I’m not necessarily an hourglass guy either as I don’t feel they ever get enough belly to not look weird, but damn do I love the way she looks especially at higher stages. She is probably my favorite gain so far. Which is saying something as I generally prefer an even distribution / a girl that is more bottom heavy. Having said that, it would be cool as a few people have said before if we could get a girl that is more pear shaped. Doesn’t have to be a focus but would be nice to see a girl with larger ass then some of her other features. I would also welcome a girl that has fat that is more fully distributed. Since we have quite a few apple and hourglass shapes.

Okay probably gone on too long and I’m sure I’ll think of more another :laughing: but I have loved each update so far, and 0.3 is just adding to it more. The game is good I love the animations and sex scenes. It’s great to have a game that has them as it’s a real standard choice for fetish content but really not done in our fetish. The event stuff is great I look forward to seeing more stuff like that across the game and seeing it get filled out a bit more. Take your time with an update as you have indicated you will need some extra time with the next update since stuff had to get cut in this one so it could make its end of month release date. I personally plan to support the game when there’s no content release and don’t need a monthly release to keep me around. And I would like to think I can’t be the only one. And with how upfront and honest you have been about it just keep up the good work and put out the updates when you feel it makes sense and they are good to go in my opinion. I look forward to seeing the planned content you have listed for the next update in game :+1:.

So I’ve only played 0.02 from DA, and your now on 0.03a so these might not matter anymore

-love the added characters and actions the player can do

-Could use more clear sign that character have changed sizes, was going through one character and she reached her max size and I didn’t noticed from the few times I interacted with her

-Possibly a way to name the player character? Stared a new game and was only being called “Player Character”

-Having a way to skip through the day, I did find it bothersome to click “strip” for the teacher and then pick what 3 things she will do that have been seen a dozen times by then similar with the books, just to have an option to skip her content if its not contributing to anything or her next size

Those are my thoughts not sure if anything was asked before if it’s still a thing in 0.03a or not

In 0.3 Books were added to be able to read in spare time when not at school as a second way to read.

Daisy is going to be reworked in 0.4 so it will likely not be the way it is now.

Naming the MC is a good one I forgot to mention twice now when asked for feedback. Feels really weird to have Luna’s content with her saying player character still.

Just as a differing opinion to Krodmandoon, I was able to notice the changes between each stage on the girls, although I’m also generally a fan of smaller gain increments, especially in the beginning. I especially liked on Leanne how much wider her hips were getting as she stood up and how her form during exercise changed with her added weight. I really appreciate that this game has struck a really good balance of size differences on each stage and the shape of each girl.

I definitely wouldn’t be indicating larger size increases between stages as I don’t want that or think it is needed. But the use of dialogue, clothes changes, events, and/or scenes can all emphasize the gain between stages. I think for characters like Luna and Leanne being hourglass but really having situations where they show off a back shot doesn’t help. Something as simple as Leanne dropping something after her dance and bending over to pick it up to help show off her butt and thighs and she bends over might be enough. But again, the dance and exercise part are not seen if you chose the larger pizza donation. Any event with Leanne at any stage was obvious as she always had a stomach bulge or more emphasized shape of breasts and butt compared to the steaming scenes (outside of the 2 or 3 streaming events).

@Krodmandoon Thanks for the amazing detailed feedback.

-Glad you liked Leanne, she is certainly a slow gainer with the least noticable difference between stages, i am pretty sure leanne does not have the issues with her weight reverting back to lower stages, its just think the difference might be a little to subtle to notice right away, but if you were to compare between 4 stage difference you can see it better, i personally like it these slow gains, but i might have made it a little too subtle for leanne. the fact that you haven’t used the 1 pizza option much is a good indicator that i might have to tweak it so those animation are still being able to be seen.
But yeah, all other characters, including leanne from 11 onwards will be a little more noticeable.

-The two leanne dates were added quite late so the don’t have much going on right now. this will be expanded upon.

-The feeding scenes are quite bare right now, but i think it is a good foundation to build upon, your suggestions about food are great and i will certainly grab some ideas to implement.

-slight changes like character eating a bit more when they get bigger is something i really like for events and dates and such, the way it was implemented for leanne and the pizza is in my opinion a great example of this, more like this will come for sure.

-Even though encouraging a girl to eat more is something i think is hot, being more on the forceful side doesn’t really sit well with me(this is just a personal preference) i like it more when the girl herself is the one that wants to stuff herself silly.

-Clothes changing for higher stages is something i agree with and have implemented for a Luna and Daisy(in her house). Other characters will also get different clothes when they get bigger.

-Lisa is kind of unfinished in 0.03, I have made new stages for her up until 32 and they look alot better.

-Great idea with the MC noticing the gain en commenting on it, this will fit perfectly and will also be a great indicator of a weight stage change.

-Work hasn’t changed since 0.02, this will be the main focus for 0.04. all the things you mentioned will be changed to be better.

-the leanne animations problem with not being able to skip is a weird problem, and i think i need some fresh eyes on the code because i am scratching my head on that one.

-I love Luna too, 2 pear shaped girls are coming.(you might have seen me test out some huge asses on deviantart and patreon recently, this is to prepare for those characters)

-A character with evenly distributed fat is kind of already in the game, but she doesn’t have much content right now. Its Marie btw, her gain is an even spread.

Thanks for all the kind words, i really appreciate it alot. I sometimes feel that my words or typing might not really indicate that, but i really do.

@GrimRyu Hello, thank you for taking your time to write feedback.

-I will make it more clear outside of the stats page that a character has changed size, probably a remark made by the player character like krodmandoon suggested.

-Naming the Player Character is planned and i have no idea why i havent implemented it yet haha

-The days will be more engaging in future updates, there will be loads of things to do and random events to change it up somewhat.

@HellaGunz Smaller gain increments are great :stuck_out_tongue:
I do think krodmandoon has a point where it might be unclear if anything has changed so the game needs some kind of remark or something to indicate a size change. I do have an amazing idea for Luna now for this.

Grat update and well chosen direction. Im glad to see you planing the updates forward. The Leanne story is well written and it seems to have two routes in future (i hope is true). Cant wait to see more of Luna and restaurant girs. Also my favorite is Katrine im just found of interactions with her. Hope to see stuffing sessions in her house and restaurant.

Its hard to say more than @Krodmandoon because usually he writes first and I just agree with his steatments. More interactions in restaurant and MC commenting about weight gain of girs would be great addition. Im so glad you are including animations in game.

Now some ideas. Additions in restaurant and school: it would be great too add more events and different interactions in those 2 places. Maby one of students will be inspired by Daisy weight gain. Maby we will have chance to “by mistake” give wrong (bigger order) in restaurant. Also chance to organise dinners in our home wolud be great.

As alwais keep the great work @Bladerune9. I started to be involved in this project just at the beginning and i hope to keep it till the end. Cant wait for whats to come, dont rush and just be glad of your work.

I know I didn’t notice those changes was because I tend to click skip text to speed up play, and for the side character’s you can skip all the dialog as they grow bigger thus causing me to miss the change in sizes

@dzema123 Thanks for the support,

Pretty much all the things you mentioned and suggested are all on its way to be implemented.
Both the restaurant and school will see great improvements to make it less repetitive.
I don’t want to spoil too much so stay tuned for 0.04

Hello, i haven’t posted here in a while.

I have been steadily making progress on the game, 0.04 is shaping up to be a pretty nice update.
For the next update i have been focusing loads on Bunny Bites(the restaurant). I want to make sure that working to earn money will be a fun thing to do with loads of opportunities to fatten up customers and coworkers, all 3 girls will get way more content, up to stage 11 and they can be taken on dates after work.

While i’m am focussed on that, 2 amazing writers will make 0.04 event better, the writing is still in early stages so i can’t say too much but i think it looks really good.

The other girls also will receive some love next update, for example daisy will get extra stages and some of her old content reworked(Not sure if i can completely rework everything for Daisy in 0.04, but at least visually she looks way better)

Also some bad news, i rendered about 200 scenes today and i discovered i have to redo them all :frowning: . I installed a plugin to make some hotkeys and shortcuts to speed up some of the work, but i realized way to late that the ui for it is visible in the rendered images. Here is a an example of the ui being visible in the bottom left on a spicy wet chubby Daisy picture:


Her look says it all. Welp redoing them shouldn’t take to long

How did she get so wet? Also that’s a really awesome wetness effect.

Luna is becoming my fav so far, her casual outfit at the dinner for her largest size as of 0.3a is my favourite, it might be because of the choice of colours
