itā€™s the journey not the destination
the end goal is to get her as large as a planetary moon, at least for me dev-wise haha

the resource situation will be addressed though

Just throwing out Ideas but yeah resources really need working and getting her planetaery will require more research options cause I personally feel like once she hits like 5-10K pounds there should be a research to make the food more fattening and then escalate it from there so pace doesnt slow down once she is like 100,000 pounds.

Thereā€™s a lot of potential honestly. I admit itā€™s not entirely my thing, both sci-fi settings and a focus on the ridiculously huge arenā€™t always my vibe. However, I liked this game enough to play it multiple times. That being said I did want to complain a little.

  1. Sometimes it takes a lot of weight to change dialogue/descriptions (i guess that would be a ā€œsize changeā€) especially at higher weights, even if it was much smaller weight increments at lower stages.
  2. Much more importantly: inconsistency in descriptions. Man it sucks that sometimes the description is like 3 sentences and other times itā€™s a full page. Also, it feels like the body type select only matters for the first couple hundred lbs. Once she gets over say 300 or even 200 maybe, all the dialogue is relatively the same and focuses on a general ā€œfat bodyā€ shape.
    Speaking of dialogue, thatā€™s been one of my favorite parts about this, canā€™t wait to see more interaction with her at each weight stage.
  3. Thereā€™s fuck all to do sometimes, especially once you get ā€œin the grooveā€ so to speak. It can be mind numbing just grinding money or research, and once youā€™re in a ā€œi dont need any moreā€ state where you donā€™t have to feed her yourself or buy research upgrades, you canā€™t do much but walk around for the same 10 events that donā€™t really matter.

Again, donā€™t mean to hate. Really like this so far. But I have my criticisms, and I wanna see this get better.

oh no no you are very correct in all ways thus far, your praise fills me with joy and your criticism is nothing short of entirely fair

The development of this game is a marathon for certain haha, i only have short productive bursts - iā€™m very glad you have enjoyed what i have on offer thus far and cant wait to deliver even more as i slowly chip away at the block of marble that is this game

i will say the slowing of size changes are currently intentional, it grows harder to notice how much larger a pile of flab gets once you hit a certain size - that and itā€™s an excuse to let me be a little lazy, which itself has no excuse

Summary

damnation! thank you i will fix this posthaste

Have tried this, and I love the overall goal of the game, however the resource management is too limited and extreme for me to have fun (I get a fair bit of capitalism induced PTSD lol).

Not enough money is earnt by the remote work or the drones, not enough food is bought in food shops either.

I ended up hyperfixating on this and ended up not paying attention to the WG at all, but if it were more generously balanced I feel like it could work.
