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

@Zabi I’m glad you like the game in its current state, in 0.04 the max weight gain stage is shown in stats page. And while that would help to find out when you are done with the content of a certain character, i think i will also implement a message showing up when you exhausted the current story because some character will have story until a certain stage but they can still gain weight further than that. But right now im just gonna finish 0.04 and then will implement some more changes in 0.05.

@danget Thanks for the kind words. The streamer story line was written by Eyebeast, Eyebeast is now busy rewriting the first 11 stages of Daisy for 0.04 so i hope you will like that just as much. Also Bonnie(the girl from the sugar shop) is getting an amazing story that matches the quality of Leanne in 0.04.

@JoeyVee I like Luna too :stuck_out_tongue:

I see in the above version 3 having 11 stages for Katrine, but she never seems to go above 2? Everyone else has gone up to their max but even after going to the gym every available day with max Feed bonus and giving her food even having her show up at the restaurant she doesn’t go above 2. Anyone else having this issue?

That aside, this game is fantastic so far, really outstanding work! Looking forward to the next update!

Are you playing the android version? if so, i had to cut her out of that one to get the game under 2GB.
I will fix this in the next update.

I think I just figured it out, was loading a save from a previous version I think and that left her stuck. I started a new game and she got to stage 3 already.

About android… Joiplay seems to run your game pretty nicely, though you need to turn off hw acceleration if you want to progress lynn’s story. My phone specs are average i believe so that’s why i think i don’t have any problems for now. I loved every aspect of 0.3 btw and waiting for what’s coming next.

Joiplay haves a patreon website and it’s devs are always fixing things so i think anyone that’s doing ren’py games or rpgmaker games should check it out, just download and extract the game (the game for windows) and see how it works.

Not done with my playthrough of the new update on patreon but here are some bugs/inconsistencies that I’ve come across.

  • When the player first meets Trista, they introduce themselves as [playername].

  • Luna’s outfit (as of stage two) in the diner switches to the one that she does classroom stuffing events in at that level, when “accidentally” given more food. So, it’s just a jump cut to something she did not come in wearing.

  • The dialogue for accidental ordering is basically the same across the board for all characters- I know this is because it’s a WIP but something to clear up later.

  • When daisy can first talk about “tacos” the dialogue seems unfinished and even has part of it come up as “place holder” - unsure if this is actually still being worked on or just an oversight.

  • I’ve had a few times where Cayenne or the librarian has been a diner customer back-to-back and the only girl that shows up that day. And while I appreciate her tenacity seems like this is probably unintended :sweat_smile:.

  • The issue of the girl that is working next to come relieve you from a shift but shows up to get something to eat beforehand is still in (I mention this again because the work section has been reworked- unsure if this has been touched yet).

  • A few of the girls (Luna, Maya so far) when asking for a whole pizza and given the “accidental” extra still get the burgers. Probably an oversight for the new mechanic. You could either remove the pizza comment and save it for certain weight or stages and then render more food with a full pizza. Or make certain stages ask for specific things and adjust the images accordingly. I can see a bit of this being done already with adding more food the daisy and she get larger (great stuff btw).

  • For Marnie, and Amber, their extra outside work events have no dialogue after the first time they trigger. They are just black bars with empty dialogue and the images to go through. Unsure if this is unfinished or an issue. (This is for stage 2 and 3 I have not gone beyond that yet as I am still playing.)

  • This might be after acquiring and reading the feeder book 1 through all the way. I can’t confirm if it’s the same for all girls as I don’t have time to play through in one sitting. But so far after getting the book when picking the accidental option at the diner. The “you create something with fattening formula” comes up within the option. I think this is from having read the first book and would assume it effects all girls that options to select of how to feed them at the diner (unconfirmed due to play time, so far, I know Marnie, Luna, and Maya this happens with).

  • Go to Cayenne home appears on the “home screen” after school I think this was around Daisy stage 10, but I would assume it is related to Cayenne hitting stage weight stage two (since at this time she is untrackable for me I cannot confirm. This seems like it might be intended as a sneak peek for WIP content, but it showed up really early if so.)

  • With the MC having a different look. The Daisy and Luna first classroom threesome has the old MC look and not the one that is in multiple new scenes.

  • When at the diner with Katrine after the gym, Marnie refers to the MC as [playername].

Some of the things I noticed so far and wanted to toss out in case I don’t get to come back to the game this weekend. Loving what I am seeing so far though @Bladerune9 has been a good update. Like halfway through Bonnies stages but has been a treat.

@Mark-627 Glad it works with Joiplay, this will be a great way to play for now. Do you know if there is a similar this like Joiplay for ios?

@Krodmandoon Thanks for this amazing feedback, many things i just looked over and are easy fixes, so i will get them all together and push an update in a day or 2 with any other bugfixes that come up.

The following is unfinished and i will get to in the next update:
-The dialogue for accidental ordering will get some deserved attention so it is more tailored to each character and changes whenever the characters get bigger, this will be combines with the issue of characters asking for pizzas and then getting burgers.
-Marie and Amber their home scenes will get dialogue and extra pictures/choices next update, this goes together with Lisa getting her home scene as well.
-Cayenne her home scene is also quite unfinished, but she has quite a bit to gain already so i introduced her a bit early. She becomes available whenever she gets to stage 3, this happens a couple weeks after daisy stage 8.

Bunny Bites customer duplicates and the girl working there coming before or after her shift should have been fixed, i will have to take another look, must have made a mistake somewhere.

The MC old look you are referring to is actually the new look. Right now, i am in the process of redoing all the sex scenes and events to get the new character in.(unless for some reason i still showed you the old character, did you get 4 animations in that event?)

The Taco dialogue i completely forgot about, thanks for bringing this to my attention.

No your right I’m sure I’m still early on in the game and had just hit being able to go back to Lunas home. And I think most of the early stuff is the old MC. The shorter more tanned MC, with shorter hair I was thinking was the original. I was thinking the more pale MC with longer curly like hair was the redesigned (probably because I saw them in most early scenes). So that’s probably my bad.

Continued bug/inconsistencies/suggestions.
  • Some girls can/do appear before their stories are added in. Meeting Luna or Maya before we know who they are probably doesn’t make too much sense. Especially since Luna’s dialogue is very tailored towards having met the MC already.

  • I think all books, but the Kamasutra have had their chapters reduced. With the random event rain event and all the calls for dates. This one is more noticeable as trying to read all the books in the game within a time period feels “harder” than it did before.

  • This kind of leads into my next point, there is a lot of stuff to do which is great. I think the game would benefit from a “time” mechanic that is understandable and visible to the player. Either with time blocks (which is kind of what you have going on now.) or with an overall hour system and events take up a certain amount of time. Right now, it’s pretty much get out of school (which we have story wise said it’s only one class. So, it lasting like until evening probably doesn’t seem right.) do one thing that is not the sweet shop or library and then move on to next day. There is so much to do It would really benefit from at least being able to do multiple things a day.

I personally think having certain events open at different times and take different lengths of time make the most sense. If you are going to force the school mechanic to happen each day (which might be better served as allowing us to go between a morning to after noon time block or set of hours in my opinion.) We should probably be able to do something before and maybe a couple things after. That is largely going to depend on if you choose to do a “weighting game” style hour system or more of a timeblock system like whole hog and honestly what you are doing now. (But I would argue for at least being able to do more than school and one thing.)

I think this is compounded by the dates which happen super often (which honestly, I’m down for) the events only on weekend (work feeling super mandatory for both the scene length and how grindy work girls are to level at the moment.) and things like needing to go to the gym and keep your strength up as katrine gains, reading, and the odd stuff here and there.

I would think the thing that makes most sense to how you have the game set up now is allowing us to do a morning afternoon, evening, and night event and I would like to see the night events maybe being like if you choose to work at the night event you can go hang out with one of the work girls like on the weekend. Or maybe visiting daisy and the strip club become available at night during the week. I think with how the random date phone calls happen I feel like I “fall behind” on other static events I have to go through the amount of time I saw daisy for feeding was like 5 times between her 15 sizes and since there are multiple scenes within the events it’s hard to not feel like you are “missing out” on those things.

  • Cayenne will show up at her stage one size randomly at the cafe when being at stage two, three, four, etc. (since this is still WIP I would assume it will be fixed by time her content is actually in but something to keep an eye on).

  • The work weight is still unbalanced between the girls currently with all other content being done and having spent like 90% of the time going to work the girls for me are Marnie stage 3, Lisa 7, and Amber at 6. (Lisa was at 4 with Marnie at 2 when Amber was at 6 earlier for me, so you can see how the randomness has like longer times of being honestly one or two girls on the weekend and very commonly being the same girl(s) that come in to eat and not being one of the work girls). I feel like having the “lower” staged girls being a priority to show up might fix this but idk.

  • With how many girls are now able to come into the diner it might make sense that as more girls are introduced into the pool the number of girls you see coming in for meals increases as well (three, four, more?). Or even having some of the girls that know each other come in together possibly. (This might be helped by letting us work multiple times a day though at still only having two come in). As it is very common to see the same girls over and over for periods of time and then it switched out with others that come in and you will see more than anyone else. I guess the other thing to do is to introduce some of the "smaller sized girls to get bumped up into priority of being seen over girls that are at higher stages or almost/completed weight stages.

  • Sex with Daisy is not an option anymore on the weekend. If you stop stuffing her before she is too full it just has the option to go home.

  • Some of the girls’ weight stages for the “accidental” scene in the diner seem to have the same sized stomach for the before and after stuffing part. Amber size 4 is like this, Marnie size 2, Trista (size 1?) I don’t know how intended this is a lot of the renders felt like there was a change in stomach size on top of the cheeks bulging for the stuffed. And some felt like only the cheeks happened, but maybe this is my perspective on it. There are more sizes and I’m sure girls than are listed here but just some of the examples I remember. Assuming I’m not misjudging the way the shots look.

  • Since the Library and Sweet shop cost no time to go to (which I personally think feels right for how its currently set up) you can turn a girl down for a date by phone and after visiting the shop or Library they will spam call you back each time.

  • There is text that indicates you can visit Lyn on the weekends now once you get her number (I believe I am not mistaken about that) but this is not in the game. I assume this is a WIP and will later change and the text is just added before it’s in the game.

  • The Lyn stage 11 dance during the event (bra breaking one) did not play at all it was a picture still with the skip option next to it and it would not load.

  • I forgot to note it down when it happened but one of the Lyn event dance scenes was unskipable. The rest of the issues around the event dances, that existed in the previous versions, seem to be fine outside of stage 11 and whichever event this one was. If I happen to go back and come across it again, I will list it.

I like the diner stuffing scenes that is all great and while I think the extra fattening option would make sense to the player if they wanted to push a girl through stages faster. It almost feels redundant to me concept wise. At least I don’t seem to notice a big difference in time it takes to go through a stage using it. And the stuffing scenes are way more pleasing visually as the images for the extra fattening is like one piece of food even at the highest stages of weight. So, I would say it’s more misleading to the player than how I am sure it works. But maybe people prefer it to stay for flavor regardless of which is the “better” option to choose. I know I prefer the stuffing scenes myself.

I love the options for like Lyns date scenes (when she calls you to head out to eat), but I would like to be able to see her more than she is already at the table a shot of her before and after she has some food. Because you really don’t get to see enough of her outside of her events, she is often sitting down and covered by things.

There have been a lot of improvements to scenes and mechanics I’m digging the next stuff and how things work. I look forward to seeing things take more shape. The dates and events have been evolving as time goes on which is nice. I would love to see some of the repeatable events in the game change over time with higher weight stages. Clothes are a great addition to that. The food and what is being served is a nice touch (as well as the amount). I wouldn’t mind seeing different positions or things like other choices, items, actions being introduced at higher stages. (Things like maybe toys, or funnels, light bondage like tying up and feeding/stuffing etc.) point being that stage one katrine, or luna sex and feeding being different from stage 10 even if it’s not drastically different.) I personally love seeing repeatable scenes progress or evolve over weight/time.

  • The Bonnie tease is real throughout her entire story I don’t know if it is intended to have the MC want to rub her belly, but around stage (3?) when she starts losing more and more clothes. And eventually at stage 6 when she’s in full lingerie it feels like our MC started not picking up on signals compared to how it usually is. I think maybe by at least stage 6 it should happen (if not earlier). Love Bonnies content though well written and very enjoyable if maybe a tad bit heavy on the repeat events vs unique things happening within the new weight stage scenes. However, they are good one-off events.

I have yet to clear the diner girls’ stages so I will post anything else I come across if it happens. This update has been great thought.

@Bladerune9 knowing how closed ios/mac is right now and how hard is to get your app on ios, i believe there’s nothing close to joiplay, and this app still an alpha so our chances to find something like that are minimum.

@Krodmandoon Thanks for all the suggestions, criticism and bug reports, this will be really helpful for the future development of the game. I will make a big post soon responding to all of it.

But for now i would like to know what happens when you can’t have sex with daisy at her home in later stages? This is the only thing i am unable to replicate and fix.

I was never able to have sex with daisy at any stage when visiting her home on the weekend. You get the option to check out her outfits (which I think for most stages I was able to check out she never has sex in anyway with the MC) or the option to feed her. If you feed her once then stop. You get the option of “what would you like to do today?” and the only thing you can pick is “I think that will do it for me today”.

The option for her dressing up stops mind scene of her bending over in front of you at stage 10. In the older versions there used to be a couch sex scene from there. At the later stages for the cosplay, it just stops with her showing a single outfit (granted I did not get to test this more than maybe 5 times a different weights. As doing work on the weekend felt more necessary for grinding through the bunny bites girls’ stages.)

Here are some save files from my playthrough at two different daisy visits. New saves I never use old stuff. Hope that helps.

@Krodmandoon Hey with your save i get the sex scenes myself, could you check if you have sex scenes disabled in the preferences?

I do not I have them enabled it was one of the things I checked. I can load the same save into 0.3a and get a sex scene on stage 10 for what that’s worth. So I know it’s specific to this version for me. Plus I have seen all the sex scenes of other girls and events.

IMO one class lasting all day long makes perfect sense. The other like 5 classes are all boring classes taught by boring old dudes about history and math so no one needs to see that. :smiley:

@Krodmandoon I found out the issue, someone else had it as well. If you clear your safe completely it also clears your persistent variables. these variables don’t exist until you trigger them at least once.
You can fix the issue by going into preferences and toggling sex scenes off and then on again.
This is a band-aid fix for now, i will have to patch the game once more to fix it completely.

@namad The story now explains that the PC only has 1 class because he follows a special program.
So Krod his suggestion about having an addition action in the afternoon fits with the story and i think with the amount of content in 0.05 would work quite well in terms of pacing.
