Yea but at least her baby have their father to be with.
I definitely understand the want to have real commissioned art for the game, but i wouldn’t beat yourself up to get it. It is weird that you have to be logged in to see that game, that seems unnecessary on the part of the forum to me. As someone who lacks artistic ability of any description, even just coding and writing the story is already more than i can do. I think AI is a good way for fledgling developers to get their feet wet.
I also understand the self-righteousness of the anti-AI crusaders in theory, as it’s a threat to their livelihoods (though the zealousness and sometimes methodology not so much)
I do think getting more manga pages posted to DA might help draw more people in. Right now with the current state of the forum it will be hard to find new audience members without putting the name of the project out there.
In terms of Eri’s development I don’t want to give too much input because pregnancy isn’t really my thing (not that i dislike it, but it’s not really a turn-on like weight gain is). But it does seem like we’re arriving at the point in the story where it makes sense that the “dere” (lovey-dovey) in tsundere shows up more. Moments of privacy where Eri is much more affectionate with MC. Not so much a fetish related thing, but more generally for romance I am a big fan of the transition from tsundere to deredere by the end of a story. Maybe you could call it “enemies to lovers” if you were talking about a western story rather than japnese.
I thought i’d have some fun and assemble a little personal ranking of the characters that have weight stages at this point in the story with my favorite aspects of each as i see them, note that i enjoy all of them.
1.) Azumi - best girl, gyaru, spoiled, teasing
2.) Kyoko - sweet, mommy gf, older woman
3.) Maki - teasing, feedee, former athlete, rebelling against parent
4.) Haruka - sweet, gluttonous, booba, clumsy
5.) Shiori - denial, (failed) weight gain resistance, former athlete
6.) Dr. Johnson - overworked, snacking on the clock, helpless to stop weight gain.
7.) Eri - tsundere, secret shared interest with MC
Thanks for the detailed comment as usual! Hope you liked the new rear view Azumi CG.
About the manga I can tell you it didn’t really bring more people on the Patreon, right now the “best” option would be to make a new game I think. Also because I’m here to do that, basically. Anyway I plan to do some pages even though as I said that was more like an experiment for that future scene in the game. I can’t even monetize it because of my tax classification which currently includes only the sale of software (not that I wanted to, at least not with those first pages which where not so good).
About Eri of course she will show her dere side more and more from now on. I wrote the screenplay for her next story part and she’ll be more affectionate than usual (but there’s still some conflict to solve). I’m currently working on her CG (which will have bare belly). Stage 3 Dr. Johnson will also be there.
I apologize for lurking for so long. I love this game and I’m happy to see it continuing. Been a supporter for a bit over a year and I look forward to every update. Hope you’re having a great day. It’s hard for to choose who my favorite is between Maki and Azumi. Shiori and Haruka are great too of course.
Oh I’m glad you enjoyed the game and you’ve been supporting for a long time. Thank you for the message!
I’m still working on the Eri update and if it doesn’t take me too long I will add another two completely new CGs in past scenes (not for Eri).
If you end up not having time to make those extra CGs no worries, take your time with the Eri update. Though I want to speculate what they could be still ![]()
I feel like it has to be either Haruka or Shiori since they’ve had the most content so far. I could see a CG of the scene where the MC gets woken up by Haruka with her boobs in his face. Or when they sleep in the same bed and Haruka is snoring with her huge gut exposed.
For Shiori, a CG of her working out with the MC or when she was hiding in a conference room eating pastries.
Or CGs of Haruka’s mom or Dr. Johnson since they are fan favorites as minor characters.
You got one! Those are all good moments for a CG though.
The update is almost done, I just need to reread and fix some dialogues.
I think I will upload the new CGs on Patreon too so you don’t have to replay again. There will be just minor changes to the dialogues in those two parts.
So the 1.6.5 is out. I hope you like the new Eri event even though I know it’s not super long. Keep in mind that each girl will have another event in the 2nd part of Act 6.
I’m curious to hear your opinions on the new CGs. Let me know if the quality is good enough. You can consider the Haruka one a test for future sex scenes.
Anyway, sadly the situation isn’t good. The subscription chart is in free fall since April and as expected after the post where I asked for help the support hasn’t increased. Thanks to those who wrote to me privately anyway, I really apprecciated it.
Probably I wasn’t very clear in my post, maybe most of you come from other countries but I remember you that I have a fixed cost of about 5k dollars per year just to keep operating legally plus taxes on the year income and an anticipation of the next. I don’t know if this seems absurd to you and I’ve used some benefits this year but the future prospects aren’t good. It’s not easy to balance this activity with a “normal” life and I basically live with the italian revenue agency hanging over my head for fear of fines for irregularities.
I don’t like to bring up money aspects because I for one care very little about it even if it’s not obvious on the outside and you’re free to doubt it. In fact I waited more than a year to make these conclusions and pushed the development as far as I could.
The development is not at risk but I’m currently evaluating the situation and wanted to talk about it in a transparent way.
I’ll wait a few hours before uploading the 1.6.5 on Itch to see if there are any major bugs ![]()
It was a decent event for Eri. She opened up a little bit, was a bit less hostile, and she even let the MC touch her belly. Liked how you talked about her getting fatter elsewhere because it would be harder to tell on the belly though I bet there would be some more softness there. More of Dr Johnson snacking which is always good.
The two new CGs for Haruka and Shiori were good. Loved seeing some views from less standard angles. Are we going to get some more inserted throughout the story? For some reason the CGs didn’t end up in the gallery like the Eri one did. Should they show up there right after the scene or do you have to reach the current end of the game for them to show up?
I thought the new CGs were great. Finally getting to see a Shiori ass CG was a treat along with her stuffing her face with pastries. The Eri update was good as usual. I still think the MC and Eri’s relationship development is the best out of all the girls. I have a question around the Eri scene where she felt compelled to pay back the favor for the MC since he went to the hospital with her, and him asking her to eat a cake in response. Is a “favor” system going to be a theme in future Eri updates? I can see the MC trying to help Eri out more often, which she would have to owe him a favor for each instance. This way he can make sure she is well fed at all times
Yeah her belly in the new CG could have been a little bigger but keep in mind she still has two stages left, so she’ll get even bigger.
It depends. At the moment I don’t think so. Anyway they didn’t show up in the codex because I didn’t want to mess up with the persistent data. The girls should continue to see their codex pages updated but some things will be added there when the game is completed, to avoid breaking saves and things like that. Hope it’s not a huge problem.
Thanks for the feedback as usual!
Well yes I could use that gain I suppose. It was just a nice excuse to get Eri to open up about her past (and eat that cake).
I’m glad you liked Shiori’s rear view. I know MC often highlights her ass as her strong point so I thought I’d add a proper CG for that
And I remember your suggestion about Shiori falling on MC so that’s probably going to be in the final arc along with another rear CG.
Loved the update my friend!
I remind you that the new version of Fattening Office will come out in the 2nd half of June, while next week I will release the first demo of my new weight gain visual novel “Voluptuous Elves”. You can look at the first images of the new game here (only for the Elite tier).
I’m sorry this will inevitably slow down the main development a little but it seems like the most honest way for me to proceed with this game dev activity.
Thanks to everyone who decides to support already ![]()
(bare belly of the totally non Azumi elf is also among the screenshots
)
I inform you that the first playable version of my new visual novel is out on Patreon! Now I will work on Fattening Office 1.6.7 ![]()
I’ve created a new dedicated thread that’s under approval now but I wanted to announce it here in the meantime.
As you know this new project will have a smaller scope and will mostly serve to support the main game development. So thanks to everyone who decide to try it out and I encourage you to leave me feedback and requests as soon as the new thread is open!
so what about those that bought you game when it first came out? i see it isnt updated for them
What game are you referring to? If you’re talking about Voluptuous Elves it’s the first release and it’s exclusive to the Elite tier while nothing has changed for Fattening Office.
i am sorry i completely misread. my bad completely.
i am an big fan of the work you have done on this game, and please keep up all of the good work you do and have done.
No worries! I’m happy you’ve been enjoying the game, I’m doing my best to keep a decent update schedule ![]()
