Yes, it is. I have already noticed that issue and I will try to fix it. I might add with that bug fix a new GUI for the home-scene.
There are planned to be 2 stages, where you are thinner than the starting weight. I am not sure right now when I will add them, because I do not think many here are very interested in them. I might add them in a version additionally to a heavier stage.
Okay that’s good to know, also to clarify, from further playing I found that Jane refers to me as NoName as well, but my dialogue boxes are labeled “Alice” (The name I chose)
Also unrelated but, drinking coke or milk at the fitness center doesn’t seem to increase my thirst
Thank you for reporting, I didn’t notice that with the drinks. I will upload a fix for both, the name and the drinks later that day and other bugs that get reported.
I updated the download links in the original Patreon posts. Just download from the new download link (v0.4.2) to have the names and the thirstiness fixed. Also, I improved the main menu a little (I made it quicker to navigate. I will recreate the home-GUI in v0.5 to make it look better and faster to navigate.
just remember to sometimes take a break, breathe and relax so as to not burn yourself out on this project
Don’t worry, I won’t burn out myself 
I will try to add new events in the college and a job offer for after-college for v0.5.
how do u go to school?
You can go to college at exactly 9am every workday (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday) if you are at home.
Is there any reason to go beyond the first day as of now?
In the college? Not really. I’ll change that in v0.5.
Anyone having ideas for what events could happen in college?
some quick ideas for a college event could be an eating contest, or cake decoration contest (for more fetish themed events). Normal events could be prep rally, sporting event, group hiking(?) or a themed week (everyone dress as something or decoration as something…)
Maybe if you are apart of certain classes it opens up specific events, like taking calculus will allow you to join a math event to test your knowledge, or if you’re a science major you can participate in a science fair of sorts.
Probably winning some will open up either job opportunities or grant a large cash prize that you can take advantage of.
In Dezember there will be, like in October an additional version for Patrons including a christmas story.
What is the fastest way to gain weight?
There are so many different ways to gain weight, so I’ll be honest and tell you: I don’t know. Going to the Manor and studying there for college is quite exhausting and food is free there because Melinda will bring you as many kinds of food and drinks as you want.
Weight is somewhat related to how fast it is processed. You can test it by eating until full (the same stuff) and looking how much room is freed after an hour.
By that metrik donuts and cake are quite good but it will get VERY expensive FAST to eat.
can you shift the weight gain to specific parts of the body?
No, that is not possible. In the game there are multiple weight gain sequences which can be triggered by you, the player. You can gain weight yourself or e.g. at the waitress job (only in the Patreon-Version) a girl will show up and order cake. Different sequences, different “types” of where the weight goes to.
