A Look Forward at Version 0.9 (March 10th Devlog)
With 0.8 relatively stable, I have shifted to working on new content for Version 0.9. This will be a massive update, far larger in scope than any of the previous versions. I want to focus on adding a lot of new art assets and refining the ones that are already in the game.
General Stage Goals
Bring Riley, Momo and Ashley to stage 10
Add in a few stage 11 sprites and gameplay for some of the girls. Not 100% sure how I will go about this but I think I will make completely new sprites that better fit the bigger stage 11 sizes
3 New characters to stage 5
Iris - A cool beauty who’s personality contrasts with her growing hourglass figure
Emily - A cute chubby girl who you help lose weight, she just can’t seem to keep it off, a classic belly focused gain
One more character I’m workshopping, right now I’m thinking a super tall, bottom heavy volleyball girl
Player character rework (still workshopping)
Making 2 distinct paths for the player character, a thinner feeder and a fatter feedee route
The “thin” route will still allow for weight gain but will allow me to draw the player in CGs since they will be around the same size. It should allow me to freely use the player character in the events more. By “thin” I just mean sizes where mobility isn’t really impeded. Likely up to about stage 4-5.
The feedee route will be something that you can opt into by becoming fat enough and making a few early choices. this will basically just be an ending for the game that occurs and you can roll back to before it happens. This will allow me to make more clear events and endings for the player. Maybe a hips/waist/bust specific ending.
Art Content
New nude/underwear sprites for the girls. With the introduction of the beach sprites last update I feel more confident with adding additional outfits to the game
More work/casual outfits for the girls
More CGs, as usual I will be making CGs for events and hangouts in the game. If there are any specific ones that you guys especially want to see let me know
Alternate poses. Alongside the new outfits I think it makes sense to add in new poses for some of the girls at certain stages
Eating animations. With the update I did to the expression rendering last patch I can now make more expression animations most important of which would be eating animations
Redoing expressions. A lot of the older expressions don’t meet current sprite standards so I will be looking into making all of the girls more expressive
Sprites for the foods. The current food sprites are just placeholder so I will be adding onto them and improving them so that they are more cohesive with the game’s style
More stage 4 fullness and beyond sprites
Sound
This is still an area that I’m working on but I think this space can be used to really improve the game. I will be trying to add more variety to the audio with updates all around
More sounds for the girls
Burping
Rumbling
Hiccups
Moans
General soundscape
Ambient noise for locations
Music for certain events if I have time to implement it
Gameplay
The core systems of the game have been implemented but I think there is still a lot of room for improvement across the board
Stuffing session improvements
More actions to take while girls eat
General feedback and game-feel improvements
More fleshed out random events that affect the session and have their own unique art
General balance updates
Food stats
Removing deprecated/useless stats and implementing the ones that have potential
Making time management more interesting
Affection/hangout updates
I want to make the girls feel more interactive and real by adding in a mood system that reacts dynamically to choices the player makes. This is something I will be testing for 0.9. Here are some simple preliminary ideas
Girls have moods that shift based on certain actions
Choosing the correct location and hangout will be key to managing their mood/affection
Stuffing session actions will also affect the character’s mood with certain actions being off limits if you make the wrong choices
I will just be testing this for now, no promises this system makes it in since it could turn out to be pretty annoying
I will be uploading stuff as I make it so look out for that. Let me know if there's anything else you guys want to see in version 0.9!

is 0.9 likely to release this month?
Excited to hear burps and hiccups those would be great
When and where can I download version 0.8 or 0.9?
Where can I download version 0.8?
thgis all sounds great
Do you plan to add other languages? If so, could you add French? I'm ready to pay, please.
When is 0.8 free release?
Will 0.8 be out next month for free?
show more bewbs, like nude for lucy, momo and other characters plz. and more big boobs. :)
Would be cool to have one of the new girls be a dom type feedee. That would bring some variety.
Do you plan on ever adding a muscle/buff girl like the shopkeeper? I'm a sucker for strong, specially busty and w/ phat asses, women but not so much the "strongfat" type.
I really hope to see some stuffed stages and sprites for the MC in the future.
A lot of this sounds really neat - always up for bigger sizes and another hourglass character, and all the extra art sounds like it'd really add to the game. I will be sad at there being a size cap for the protagonist, though - some of my favourite events are the ones where you got to size6 and got to hang out with the other girls, while both of you are rather absurd sizes. Even if the CG didn't update for sizes past a certain level, having the ability to get hugely curvy (and the events you get just moving around) were always one of my favourite parts, oddly enough.
cannot wait for 0.9! its only been a day and already I’m wishing it was out
Holy shit that’s a lot of stuff
Definitely looking forward to more events for Lily as well. Feels like she’s so far behind
This seems like... a lot. Good luck, we're all rooting for you!
Stage 4 fullness and beyond? Would the really be a stage 5? I'm super down it just seems like a _lot_ of work. I look forward to the new poses as I think as the stages get higher, some of them could really use a new pose to suit it (i.e adjusting how they're holding up said weight to accentuate it affecting them) I'm amazed you're still adding characters to this game and am super excited to see how your art style has evolved as you design them and their stages ^^
those are a lot of cool ideas, looking forward for WIP arts!
The new stuffing system is definitely at odds with the current food stats. It's very difficult to feed a woman the whole pizza even if they have the capacity for it, since they don't get a rebate on stamina that they would with a smaller favorite food item. I do think that the fact the new system works as well as it does, with food stats that aren't tailored for it, is a testament to how robust it is. As for CGs, my favorite kind is undersized clothing or wardrobe malfunctions. Doesn't matter the style or scenario. Rebecca is a fave of mine because of how stubbornly she seems to cling to her same outfit for so many stages I think the mood system sounds awesome. Their little blurbs during stuffing about how they react to loved/hated foods are fun and I would like more of a repercussion of forcing them to eat things they would rather not (I definitely feel guilty when I give a girl a protein shake she hates). Personally I think some day it would be fun to even have a system that discourages giving them their fave dates or foods constantly, like a day of eating her favorite burger ten times is exciting but the monotony leads her to getting a temp bonus on neutral food.
All of this sounds great. I feel like 0.8 really laid the groundwork for big things to come. Personally, I think the inclusion of more CGs will really enhance the presentation overall, alongside alternate angles, views, outfits, etc. I love the look of the new girls you're working on, but I'd honestly be happy just with more content for the existing cast. I also think sounds will be a huge upgrade. Getting them right will be tricky, but definitely worth it. The text in the game is great, but I can only read so much lol. I think moods for the girls sound fun. I like the idea behind the phone, but it really just turned into an unread stack of notifications (maybe that's a me problem). Getting more unique messages or contextual alerts would be cool, for now it's just the same message on repeat it seems. I know it was talked about a bit and would be a ton of work, but having unique sprites during stuffings, kind of like for Hazel's CG, would be awesome. I'm also looking forward to the fabled stage 11.
I agree with being happy with more content for the existing girls. I'd rather develop the girls as well rounded (geddit?) people who can take different pathways and have different interactions than just have lots of girls. I'd like to be thinking things like 'Hey, Rebecca is still surprisingly mobile at stage 8 because of all the exercise we did' or 'Hey, Sophie's turning into a bit of a slob' or 'Hey, we never see Mia without a drink in her hand any more'.
The only thing I can think of that I would want to see more of is more events and stuff to do with your favourite characters. I know it's hard to do lots of stuff for all characters but to make this game perfect I'd love to have more depth to the stuff I can do with each specific girl so that the WHOLE game isn't just chasing the next stage level. The rest of the content sounds amazing, I'm looking forward to it! Don't overwork yourself though.
I really enjoyed the new stuffing session gameplay and look forward to seeing it expanded. Would it be possible to also change the WcDonald's hangouts to all increase eating speed, rather than most adding daily calories? Since much of the cast is unable to increase their eating speed, the stuffing sessions in later stages take the entire day and often end mid-meal. I'm especially looking forward to a revamp on the food stats, thanks for all your hard work!
In discussions around the previous update it was determined that the lack of eating speed events wasn't intended. Seems that the WcDonald's is definitely supposed to be one of the locations with two events, there's just a bug that doesn't allow you to do unwritten/placeholder hangouts.
Cant wait for next version hopefully Lucy gets a whole lot more development in future or that in future versions gonna be character similar to Lucy. Also i hope there is plans for dating style mechanic where you can focus on 1 girl for better benefits on certain game mechanics. Money mechanic could use rewamp currently grinding for cash really doesnt feel interesting. The map and ui could use better qol maybe instead colored squares have character mini sprites on places they are at and map artstyle could use changing. Maybe in future versions instead having turn based system have real time dynamic system where time continues to go instead waiting for player to do something.
I do also always hope for another boob squad member.
I just found this game last month and I want to say how much I appreciate your work, it feels like a dream game that turned out to be real! I'm now very invested in the development and can't wait for new releases. I want to also report a bug in the current 0.7 public build (not sure if its been addressed yet). I've found myself accidentally scrolling up on the scroll wheel and that seems to rewind actions, although because of this it also leads to glitchy number values in stuffing sessions, and I've even noticed the daytime bar being out of sync with the displayed time. I feel like the more I mess with it the weirder things get. Not sure if the rewind was an intended feature or not but just so you know.
Excited to see what the plans end up being for the extreme sizes, considering player immobility and character immobility would likely have two distinct styles of gameplay...
Your sprites are simply amazing so I look forward to it.
Super tall bottom heavy gal yesssss
Chubby girl failing to lose weight, and with a belly-focused gain? FireWriting.gif
Holy shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit this is going to be so expansive I'm absolutely looking forward to all the work you're going to be putting in on this I would say the only other things that I would ask for (*only* if it wouldn't be much trouble for you with everything else you're working on for this update) would be an update to the map, and maybe throwing in something explaining our character avatar's motivations somewhere
Yes ! Stage 11 lets goo ! Can’t wait for Sophia’s one, her butt becoming a permanent living couch
I'm really curious now, I thought 10 was going to be the max but hearing you are going to implement a stage 11 I'm curious as to what the max size will be
Whoa mama, stage 11 with completely different sprites
Sounds like a lot of interesting ideas. Might I suggest with the mood and hangout reworks planned an arcade style mode that’s more focused on a casual wish fulfillment aspect? Since I currently enjoy how easy going the game is
Yeah, that's why I'll try and make sure it isn't too intrusive. If it doesn't work I'll scrap it
More hourglass and bottom heavy girls are always appreciated 🙏🏻
Glad to hear we’re getting another bottom heavy girl, but I do wish with the mc rework there would be a mutual route.
Yeah I'll see if it is possible, but the variance from stage to stage and different MC shapes really limits the stuff I can do with her
Ngl a bit disappointed at even more hourglass and pear characters. Would've been nice to get another belly focused character. Everything else sounds great though! Thanks for the hard work as always.
I should have specified, Emily will be a classic belly focused gain
when will it be available for people who don’t have early access yet?
0.9 or 0.8?
This sounds awesome and like you have a lot of creative ideas. One well-intentioned suggestion from someone who's been involved with a lot of development projects: if you can break things up in to smaller chunks, it may be easier to make steady progress, like adding content/characters one at a time or in stages. Versus taking on the world and then finding yourself 6 feet deep into a refactor....
Yeah, I got stuck with that last patch where I was fixing a lot of the back end. Hopefully this version is mostly just content and frontend stuff
Damn a lot of plans. Can't wait to see the progress! If I have some general ideas for the future that I'm myself unsure of, where could I out them?
Here, DMs or chats all work
