Break that down for me a little more. That makes it sound like it is possible to have different distributions, depending on your choices (pear shaped, top heavy, etc). Do you mean that there are multiple different triggers in place to cue a new visual change?
no he means that because the stage’s are triggered by a set weight it’s impossible to figure out what you did to hit that weight it would take far far far too much time and programming for something that wouldn’t even have a place right now

@tharsus and @Lyra Don’t forget that all the images are pre-rendered. It would be a hell of a lot of extra work for every character to have different ways of growing.

Basically it is not possible to choose where you put on weight and it does not change depending on your choices. Only IF you gain weight depends on your choices.
During gameplay you will meet multiple characters, which you can interact with. Those other characters have a different behaviour of gaining weight, means they put on weight differently, but you do not have an impact on how they do just IF they do.
As @tiggertoo and @Randomkid00 wrote it would be a huge amount of work making it possible to gain on different body parts, because all images are pre-made. I would have to create for each combination a single image, which is an unrealistic amount of work.
Fun Fact: 5 different body parts you can choose to gain weight on and each has 5 stages of gaining weight would be:
(4 outfits X 5 posesPerOutfit X 5 bodyParts)^5 stages = 10.000.000.000 images to create an image for every possible combination. If the images are small this would take up ~10.000GB of storage on your computer (1KB per image).

Exactly why I was surprised. I’d already snooped through the .pngs, but the growth is subtle enough (imo) that it was hard to distinguish unless I was skipping stages. Figured I could have missed something.
@SirMister thanks for clarifying.

I just posted a new spoiler for all Bronze, Silver and Gold Patrons with some insights into the GUIs of v0.5. I reworked the designs of choices and of the title, additionally I am planning to recreate the navigation at the home-scene. Not yet sure how the home-scene will end, but I want to make it possible to reach everything with just one click.
Also I’ll improve the tutorial for new players a little so they get the infos (like collge starts every day at exactly 9am) they need to use all functions of the game.
To make it clear: As a Silver- or Gold-Patron you will get additionally to the spoilers access to all versions 2 months earlier

In v0.5 I’ll add the Real Estates next to a lot of new college events, where you can buy a new house. Every house has it’s own stats boosting some things (larger recovering for sleeping, taking longer to get dirty, …). For each house you can buy 3 additional upgrades, adding new furniture and increasing the bonus of the house. In v0.5 there will be the default house and at least one more house to buy (depending on how much time is left when finishing the college events).
v0.5 will be available at the beginning of December to all Patrons.
When you do not clean your house it will start getting dirty, requiring you to clean it. There are three stages which have different impacts. Every stage makes the rooms look dirtier, so you can easily notice when it is time to clean.
-
Stage (clean)
has no effects
takes one hour to clean
reached after 0 days of not cleaning -
Stage (dirty)
has no effects
takes two hours to clean
reached after 7 days of not cleaning -
Stage (super dirty)
sleeping will decrease your health
takes five hours to clean
reached after 14 days of not cleaning
This is an element, that should some more reality to the game and adding small new actions/duties to the game, like a real person has. Of course v0.5 will include a new weight gain stage again. I will post a spoiler the next days on Patreon.

and Know I am thinking of buyying a rombra
is there any way to modify the game? like, cheat it. Im curious
Yes, indeed there are possibilities to edit the game. Please note that the license I give to everyone downloading the game includes that you are not allowed to edit, copy, extend, sell, or share the game.
In order to cheat you will have to modify the source code, which would be against my terms, so I absolutely not recommend doing that nor I will tell you how to do so because this would help you to break my own terms (not a good idea).
There are a lot of games on the internet, which are specifically made for editing the source code in order to cheat. Those games also include a tutorial on how to do that.
Sorry for not helping you out.
I’m not really trying to modify the code of the game but rather edit the save file itself, I’ve found a program to modify the save file allowing you to change information, thus far I’ve modified my money so I no longer have to really work or worry about money allowing a slow wg early on. Money no longer matters in my game file
Specially in newer versions going to work is a joy, because there you can trigger other weight gain stages. For example in the newest version for my Patrons you can work as a waitress, where a girl will appear during working hours and order things. You can then ask her if she wants another free cake 
PS: In the newest version on Patreon you can go to the bank and get yourself a loan if you don’t have enough money.
I hope this doesn’t sound dumb or anything, but will there be future free versions?

I am not quite sure yet, I think I will pass the December-version to give the Patreon version a bigger margin since those people are those that made the whole project here even possible. I think they are supposed to receive bigger advantages than just those they have right now. Also, it is an additional effort to maintain two versions, especially when maintaining an old version because I have to fix all the bugs twice then. With the current version out you can make a picture of how the game looks like and choose if you’d like to support it, so this is just fine I think
I feel so sorry about that, but hopefully, this can be understood…I might release new free versions in the future but definitely less frequently than I did recently, I cannot make any promises.

I can’t speak for others but I don’t expect the free versions to have any bug fixes as they are old, if you just release them with no fixes I find that completely understandable.

A version including bugs will make the game look unprofessional and messy to newbies not having read this message (honestly, nobody reads all the comments from a 300-messages topic). Somebody, who likes the game should consider getting the newest version on Patreon anyway. Basically it is a double-win situation for yourself, since you get the newest version and with the money you paid, you will support the game, which will help making the game better, because I can buy all the 3d assets required to develop the game.
That’s totally understandable. I will say, if you make it clear that a newer version is already in development and that the bug we find in version 3 or whatever has already been fixed in the newest, you dont need to worry about patching bugs for the older free version, we’ll see the newer game someday without the bugs eventually.

New Houses in v0.5 and lots more!
First of all, you will live in a different, more basic house in v0.5, in later versions (or the Christmas-Special-Version, which will be available to all December-Silver-Patrons additionally to v0.5), you will be able to buy a different house. All houses, except the one you start in will give the player a different bonus (e.g. 50% shorter way to downtown or 5% more money in physical jobs).
Every house can be upgraded three times, at every upgrade the house will change (the three upgrades for the default house are shown in the Spoiler-image). Each upgrade increases the bonus the house gives .
Starting from 0.5 you will need to clean your house every ~14 gamedays or it will get dirty (3 stages: clean, dirty and health risky - every ~7 days the dirtiness will increase by one stage unless you clean it). When you reach the 3rd stage of dirtiness you will start losing health while sleeping. Cleaning it takes you one hour or three hours on the 3rd stage.
The bonus of the default house will be that with each upgrade the house will take longer to get dirty .
So what of the houses-concept will be part of v0.5?
In v0.5 there will be only the default house with the 3 dirtiness-stages and the 3 upgrades available. I am planning to add in the Christmas-Special-Version one more house (which can be bought at Real Estates in town, which is 24/7 on holiday in all available versions). Additionally to the houses there will be a lot of other new things, specially in college and of course there will be a new weightgains stage.
I posted on Patreon additionally to this explanation some spoiler images how the new default house will look like with its upgrades and when getting dirty. v0.5 will include even more than the last update did, I worked so hard on this, because I recently lost a lot of images because I did not configure the render queue correctly. 48h of image rendering have been gone, but now I am up2date again
