In v0.1 there is only one WeightGain stage, means she only changes once a little bit. In v0.2 she already changes twice.
I have already heard a few times about that. Please make sure you have installed the latest version of v0.1 (latest free is v0.1.1). In v0.2 this bug should be fixed. I do not want to waste time fixing bugs in outdated versions, which already got fixed in the newest. If you use the newest v0.2 version please send me a private message how much you weigh and what you did last before your character disappeared.
That’s up to you what you do. It gives you the possibility to get known to the game. How to eat? How to buy food? and so on…
That’s right, the stats are not perfect, also not in v0.2. In v0.2 you just have bars for all of the stats instead of the text box.
Every food has a defined fullness (how much it fills you) and an expiry (how long it takes until the fullness disappeared). Depending on the fullness you get from food and how filled you are the hunger is calculated. Stuffing yourself over a long time will give you the ability to eat more and more.
When you gain weight your clothes get tight (you can spot that on the images in the game too). When your clothes are tight you should go to the mall and buy a new set of clothes for $100. If you don’t and reach the next weight gain stage (which does not exist in v0.1) you have to go to any clothes store nearby and buy a new set for $300.
There isn’t too much, but still a little bit. In v0.2:
buy food
eat food you bought
go to restaurants
get to know Jane (a character)
go to college
go to college parties
get to know Trevor
get a job
get to know your boss
and more (and even more coming soon! This month, before Halloween there will be an update including a Halloween scene with some magic )
Yes, this bug should be fixed in v0.2 (only available for Patrons). I will not implement a fix because it would be a waste of time spending it on fixing older versions.
Please let me know if this bug still appears in v0.2.
Have you tried to delete and then retry to add the same payment method? Otherwise just contact their support team. They usually answer within ~3 days.
Right now I have some problems with Patreon too. I cannot payout all pledges from October because my account needs to be manually verified by Patreon. This also means I cannot buy new things from daz3d for the game (no money). I hope they verify it soon so v0.3 for Patreon can be released on time…
That makes me feel safe, thank you. Can this happen at a later point again or just once? If that happens frequently I will choose something else than Patreon…
Here is a small part of the abandoned Haunted Manor (Halloween Special for Patreons)…maybe it’s not abandoned? Also a completely new character will be introduced and I promise, you will like him! Make sure to subscribe to Patreonbefore the release of the Halloween version (it is only for subscribed Patrons).
Patreon really isn’t very good. Slow, glitchy website missing a number of very basic features, and the mobile app is even worse. Not to mention that a lot of people simply can’t sign up (I’ve had no end of messages from people saying they’d love to pay, but it won’t let them).
In hindsight, I wish I’d chosen a better platform!
On the bright side, as @dingotush says, once your account has been verified, you’ll recieve the payment. It just takes a bit of time
Should I change from Patreon to a private website I could create? (I would continue doing Patreon and the website for ~2 months and then completely change to the website)
Yes, change to a private website
No, stay on Patreon
I don’t know

Advantage of Patreon: It’s safe, if I tried to scam you, Patreon will help you to get your money back
Disadvantage of Patreon: Service timeouts, errors while paying/registering, 8+% fees
It’s only ever happened to me once, I think on the second payout. There was some rigmarole with the payment provider to get set up beforehand, but I’ve not had any problems since.
I’d think long and hard before taking payments on a private website - the technical stuff is the least of your worries. There will be a bunch of legal issues you’ll have to address, depending on where in the world you are. Do you need to register as a Sole Trader, or a Company? Is that permitted by the employment contract of your current job? Will you need to have accounts done? A solicitor? Then there’s finding a payment provider that will work with you; most will get flighty if the product is even a little fetishy. There’s stuff like the GDPR, and whatever the equivalent is in the USA, registering yourself as a data controller, possibly accepting liability for any breaches, getting insured against that, finding an insurer who’s prepared to work with you (fetish again). I know Patreon and their like seem to charge a lot, but they have all this sorted for you.
as i was playing i hit some weird glitch, it says “An exception has occurs” It happen when i skip and hour, or go to other rooms, or make a choice. It doesn’t crash the game, but makes me click something after almost every action. Im guessing after i hit 7.1 weight, it goes wrong
This is exactly right - there are just too many legal and technical hurdles to get over for a private site to be viable. Also, any time spent developing the site would take away from game development time which I don’t think your project supporters would want. Finally, and most importantly, I would never trust a private site built by one person with my banking and/or credit card information, no matter how competent of a programmer they were.
The reason why I chose Patreon is that everyone can trust into giving your payment information away and be absolutely sure that everyone will receive what they paid for.
I will stay on Patreon, but please contact me via PM if you have issues creating an account / an issue with your payment information.
Legally a website isn’t too much to manage, at least not in my country, I don’t know how it would be in the US.
Legally I am a one-man-company, in my country you need a company even if you are just an artist.
This issue has already been reported and fixed in v0.2 for Patreon. At the beginning of November v0.2 will become public and with that this bug fix. I think it would be a waste of time to fix errors in early versions, which have already been fixed in a later version.
I’m so sorry. I do know v0.1 includes some bugs which make the money buggy / make the character disappear…unluckily nobody has reported them before I started making v0.2…means I included a fix in v0.2…
This library will be added in the Halloween special version for Patreon. There some pretty cool things happening in there, I don’t want to spoiler anything. I will try to release the Halloween version tomorrow evening.
