June Devlog: New Girls!
With another month of work on Version 0.6 complete, this update is shaping up to be the biggest one yet by far. There’s still a lot to do, but here are some of the highlights for things that have been completed and what you can look forward to in the next version.
Gameplay
The core gameplay and systems have been reworked to be less tedious and more interesting with a few key changes that should make playing the “game” part of the game more interesting.
Stuff that’s in:
Items in the shops now unlock through progress in the game
Girls’ locations are now shown on the map
Belly Rubs cost affection, giving them a trade-off
Events now give calories alongside Fullness
Events now occur during a set time period, making them appropriate rather than just happening at any time of day
Available events are now denoted by an exclamation point on the map
Flash sales at each shop
Chat option now has a purpose, hinting at each girl’s cravings
Girls will no longer move locations as long as you’re interacting with them
Inventory screen added
A memory system that lets you revisit old events has been added (I’m still working out quite a few bugs with this one)
Still WIP:
Codex for players to know what they have missed
Apartment/Dorm Upgrades
Location-based skill checks
More interesting ways to make money
Content
I have outlined most of the content that I have planned to, with all girls being brought up to stage 9 and adding in a beach location. I do plan on making events for the girls at the beach, but depending on time there may or may not be sprites dedicated to the location.
New Characters
I am committing to adding 3 new characters up to stage 3 with this update. This will likely take a bit more time, but I think it will really make this update worth the wait. Here are some brief descriptions and ideas I have concocted for the new girls:
Momo
A short, cutesy girl who hides her insecurities behind stuffed bras, corsets, and a desperate need for attention. She’s clingy, jealous, and obsessed with keeping up appearances, but as her body starts to change, those carefully constructed illusions begin to unravel. Most of her weight goes to her bust and belly, with just a little softening in her legs.Ashley
The calm mother of the dorm who never says no and always finishes what others can’t. She’s tall, curvy, and naturally indulgent, often cooking for the group and quietly eating far more than she admits. Her gain spreads evenly across her whole body, with her curves sagging and thickening over time.Riley
A confident beach blonde lifeguard with a swimmer’s build and a hip-to-waist ratio that already turns heads. She treats food like a post-workout reward, insisting every indulgence is just fuel for the next rescue. Over time, her rock-solid waist stays tight while her hips and thighs slowly start to plump up, giving her an even more dramatic lower half.
What’s Next
I don’t have a set release date as of yet, but I’m leaning towards the end of the month. This can change depending on how long things take, but I’m happy with the functionality and gameplay updates so far, so now it’s just a race to load in as much content (events, sprites, CGs, characters) as possible within a reasonable timeframe. Expect the new character sprites to be posted for patrons soon.
Thanks for your continued support, it means the world to me to be able to share my ideas with you guys.

When you gonna realease the new update pls ?
I am so utterly amazed with everything you have done with this game. It is also incredibly nice to finally play as a girl in a weight gain game since I don't like playing as guys. I've fallen in love with your characters to the point that I'll be cosplaying one soon
You're doing God's work with this game, I can feel the love and dedication with each character and how they go through these wonderfully paced stages of growth, keep up the awesome work man.
Have you thought about making a discord server of some sorts to discuss things about the game and stuff? I know it's a lot of work but I believe it would be pretty cool
ok i gotta bring up something that’s been bugging me for a while now. i subscribed to cringe indeed, right? but i come here to see what’s going on and all i ever see here is peak. (keep it up, love the game so far)
We're getting Mini-Lucy next update lol Man i've been waiting for the memory thing i'm stoked
I am jumping for joy seeing that "girls will no longer move locations while you're talking with them." I'm also very pleased to see that events give calories - how did you end up implementing this though? As it stands, events don't take into consideration the character's fullness so any calories gained off an event would seemingly be more powerful than feeding a character normally. (it would be really cool if the WcDonalds event at stage 3 'stuffed', for example, allowed you to get to a stage 4 'overstuffed' though)
Yeah, unfortunately I don't know if there is a way to make events dynamically work with fullness since that would require completely separate events. I do think it would be a cool idea though since having a successful/unsuccessful event based on context would be really cool, just a lot of work.
Excited for the next update! All of this sounds fantastic!
Really looking forward to the quality of life changes and to Ashley! Sad to see no belly-focused girls, my favorite dancer is PEAK so far. Although, not sure I'm thrilled with belly rubs costing affection, feels like a flavor loss, cuz Belly rubs relax/are pleasant for stuffed bellies.
Hypppppeeee
Pear shaped lifeguard is refreshing. Looking forward to meet Riley. The shift in gameplay sounds promising too
Holey-Moley that is a lot of great sounding content! Can't wait to play it (I can wait, take your time).
I have enjoyed playing v0.5 so much that I have actually decided to put the game down until v0.6 is released, because I don't want to spoil the whole story for myself with such an impressive update on the way! I am really impressed by what you have created... it has a lot of unique character!
Music & SFX will be within the next update, not in this upcoming one, right?
Nice to see the new cast with different body shapes ! As a pear enjoyer i’m fully hyped for Riley !
So excited for Riley might be competition for Sophia for best girl
When ready release the 0.6 here? Also did you add events in dance club with all girls?
Yes, I do plan on making club events for all girls. As for the release date, it should be within the month but that all depends on how long it takes to make all the assets for the new girls.
