Kayla is the sort of wish fulfilment character whose body seems to only gain in her chest area.

This is really fun and a nice addition to all of the games on this site. You’ve done a really good job making a fun, diverse set of characters. While not all of the characters are my favorite (I struggle to get through Yuki’s content every time while I rush through Renae’s), there is a little something for everyone.
A couple of the highlights for me:
- Ash as a feeder or feedee works so well for what the player character is doing. Her feeder route creates some AWESOME comparisons
- The way you made Cat’s personality completely change depending on the fashion choice was really well done
- Specific one-off interactions with the characters due to their personalities are quite enjoyable. Helena barging in was a highlight
A couple of things worth considering that are quality of life:
- Having to create a new save file each new version is pretty tedious. It took me ~2 hours just to skip through everything I had seen before to get to the new content in v0.3. That’s only going to get worse as the game gets bigger. If there is a way to keep save files working in new versions (or skip to the new stuff), that would be a huge QoL. It sounds like from 0.3b patch notes this may be already in the works though!
- It would be nice to have the option to transition Ash from feeder to feedee. Both have great scenes, and the current setup makes it so the optimal play through is keep her as a feedee through all of her scenes, then transition her to a feeder. Which is doable, but it would be nice (though not required) to go both ways.

ive already maxed out all of the other girls and it still hasn’t unlocked the one between kayla and helena. Anything more specific i can do?
I totally agree! There really is something for everyone. For example, At first I didn’t think I’d enjoy Renae’s story. But I really did enjoy liking it, I’m just a sucker for the “I don’t want to gain weight but I’m losing control anyway” storyline. Its really refreshing compared to the other girls where its a little too easy imo. And with easy I mean that you can comment on their weight and they are just like “Oh you enjoy bigger girls? Guess I’ll get fat and see what happens teehee”
But its called feeder simulator and it really is a dream scenario right? So I can’t judge to hard on that aspect haha! But it is why I really like Renae’s path.
Helena and Cat are also favorites of mine, Helena because she’s the true dream right? Already a feedee from the get go. And it really shows how awesome it can be to meet someone on the same wave length when it comes to feedism.
And Cat? What can I say, just a sucker for for the shy geeky girl with a sweet tooth! And I also like the personality changing depending on the fahsion style.
Yuki, Pippa and Kayla are my least favorites because they seem to be catering specifically to people who enjoy boob and ass gain and just that, while I prefer just all over gain if that makes sense haha!
I just love hearing about everyones prefences when it comes to games on this site

I’m still figuring the game out myself, its only the ??? Character right? I unlocked them the way I mentioned. But I am doing another playthrough to see what happens. I’ll let you know if I find a certain way to trigger it.
But without spoiling anything, this ??? Character has no weight stages yet. Just the introduction scene which is pretty fun.
I’m not sure you can reasonably expect a work in progress won’t require you to start the game over and make new saves with each major patch. Every other Ren’Py game you’ll find on this site is like this. If they change and add a bunch, especially within the period of existing content, the game just won’t function normally using old saves. You would also miss anything new added in earlier parts of the game unless you start over anyway, and I have not seen any developer complete a game in a totally straight line from beginning to end. The number of times I’ve played through the existing content of a few games on this site which have been in development for a long time and update regularly is… a little crazy lol. But that’s how it goes. We are the audience, but also the test audience.

I think this is a totally reasonable take, but I also think that a developer is going to miss out on people over time without providing some way to make it easy to play through over time. It’s easy to play through and skip old content when you have an hour of content. It’s really hard when you have 10 hours of content. If developers are releasing content regularly and aren’t willing to find a way to make this easy, they are going to lose players over time. Either people will decide just to not play for a bunch of versions or they will just lose interest when they have to skip through content for hours just to play an hour of new content. Developers obviously aren’t obligated to accommodate everyone, and there will obviously be SOME times when it just isn’t possible to use old saves. But it is in a developer’s interest to make this easy for users.
I also think its a unreasonable take, like they said its just not how Renpy works. You can want it, but Renpy just will not do it, simple as that. And I think most people don’t mind since more often then not theres also a few changes in the early game content that we’d like to see. And also most people here are into weight gain, so seeing characters I’ve enjoyed gaining, gain again? Hell yes. Allthough yeah less favorite characters can be a pain to get through but its not that bad. For many people here starting a new save just isn’t an issue
I mean the answer isn’t always re-use an old save, it could just be provide a “skip” button that sets your variables to where they reasonably would have been at the end of old saves so you can skip to the new content. It’s very doable in Renpy. And the game is bringing in $4000 per month on Patreon. If even 25% of players get frustrated having to play through old content and stop subscribing, that’s a lot of money for the dev that can be kept around by a small feature.
can someone help me with finding one of the characters?
there is a character I have not met between Helena and Kayla and I dont know where to find them.
Hyper pregnancies for these fat moommas?

regarding the inability to save across versions of the game- I recall how some SNES games had a sort of save/cheat feature integrated by a password entry field that based on the alphanumeric string would establish the game in a particular configuration.
you could have a “configuration” entry where in a few hundred alphanumeric characters you could store time elapsed, money, weight and personality attributes of the girls. not to mention this might allow an easy way to debug and cheat the game.
holy shit- nearly fifty grand a year… I should consider any game ideas I come up with more seriously going forward,
For what my opinion is worth, I don’t think that’s a feasible option either. I’m not exactly a skilled programmer myself, but each version of the game thus far has included a number of changes to each of the girls. Not just more stages, but more things that can happen at each stage. That makes the configuration basically useless from version to version.
I’ve coded a system that scans your save and updates any outdated data that might break the game, I fully intent that 0.4 won’t require a new save. Future versions I may recommend a new save If I add new early content, but for the foreseeable future new saves will not be necessary.
