Dev Build - Fat Fashion Part 1
Hello, again! After much tribulation, I have successfully rebuilt the character customization system to make it easier to use, more fully featured, and simpler for me to expand on. Due to the complexity of getting this refactored, this build is mostly a systems update. And while it does add some more options, there's still a lot more I want to add that I didn't have time to get to. So expect a Part 2 build sometime in June focused on adding more stuff you've requested like new outfits, headwear and some furry stuff. With that said, here's what's new in this build.
The customization menus have been reorganized into new category tabs, giving me room to add better selection menus with icons for each option.
Shirts, pants and shoes now have 20 different pattern options with their own color selectors and size adjustment.
Socks have new options including thigh-highs and fishnets with striped and stirrup variants.
12 new hair styles (mostly male) and 10 different facial hair options.
Adjustments for skin opacity, shininess and metallic so you can make slime and android characters.
Clothing options and glasses have sliders for opacity, shininess and metallic as well.
Rippable shirts and pants can be toggled separately.
Added half-elf and no ear options with more to come next month.
A new save/load system that supports unlimited named characters.
Saved characters will persist between new builds so you won't have to migrate them with every new release anymore. (However, because of the new save file structure, saves from old builds will no longer work. Sorry about that.)
And some minor bug fixes:
Body hair color should no longer change when hair color is changed.
Fixed some hair styles that were clipping badly into some of the newer body types.
Removed texture artifacts on the character's heels while wearing certain pants.
Side note: I'm also making all the text on these dev build posts accessible to free users and the Blobby Backer tier so they can make better judgement calls on what builds they feel are worth resubscribing for. However, the actual links to the builds will still be behind a paywall below.
Another note: Someone pointed out that a lot of the hair styles were clipping into the first person camera in this build. I uploaded a patched version that fixes it. So if you see that happen, redownload the build and it should no longer be an issue.
I think that's all for now. Like I said, there's still much more I want to add in the next update, but it will be a lot easier now that this refactor is complete. Until then, I hope you enjoy!

How do I open it on macbook? I downloaded the zip file and not sure what to do next.
could u add more maps maybe? and also how do u use the blueberry thing im quite new
Not sure when yet, but I will be adding new maps as time goes on. Press E by the gumball machine to make it dispense a gumball you can eat to turn into a blueberry. In the juicing room, use the arrow keys to move the juicer pistons. Hold J to squish with the pistons and press C to crush which turns the player back to normal.
I wish I took a picture or screenshot, but I used the not-so unlimited (for now) character creation tools and tried my best to make the Other Mother from Coraline by making her eyes completely black and added completely black lenses to add on the button effect. (Although black is traditional, if you want to see her eyes in pink, vermillion or chartreuse, let me know. (You might make her jealous, tho.))
Hey i just want to say thank you for creating this great game. Its exactly what 13 year old me could have only dreamed of. Its nice that wenall have so many ideas for possible future updates, but i feel like we do forget to mention the work you already put in. So thank you for your work, your craftmansship and your passion. I bet creating a game comes with many setbacks and complications. I hope you keep updating the game, adding new stuff until we all have the perfect game where everybody has his wishes added. No matter how long it may take. But as you know, good things take time. So keep up the good work and i am very eager and excited to see the next update!
Thank you for the kind words, I appreciate it! (And I hope you are much older than that now, otherwise you should not be here.)
Just a small question, Will there be any weight stages past Blob in the future? (I love the game btw)
Hopefully. I've run into issues trying to make bigger sizes in the past, but I have some ideas to try that might make it work. So I will take a crack at it again before long.
Is there a way to access the saves?? I play on multiple platforms :))
Yeah, they are in C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\blobygon\Characters
Is the new update coming soon? Just asking because you said that it would likely come out sometime around June
Ok, after playing around a for a lil bit, there are some options id love to see! Pregnant shape with bellybutton popping out! maybe an option where they hold/rub thier belly? And for the filling tube thing to auto advance the weight class thing and be able to cause popping once it hits the max size! for clothing, Idk if you can only do the skin-tight stuff, but was wondering if there was a way you could do like baggy or bell-bottom style pants? as for the shirt, I was wondering if you do another option for the long sleeve open shirt- having a naked/no undershirt style, and/or a cropped version thats long sleeve but no bra/undershirt on. lastly, Idk if I just missed it, but I was surprised there was no option for bust sizes, or a way to not have the burping after the feed tube. As is tho, this was more fun than I originally thought! I didnt know it would have a create-a-character right there, and i noticed some of the inflated sizes have swollen feet, which is nice! (wouldnt mind if those could get bigger too!)
I'll consider these options as I continue development. I've been experimenting with non-skin-tight clothing with some fairly decent results so I might be able to make some baggier stuff now.
Love the thousands of new QoL upgrades and fashion for both genders, amazing! I think my favorite weight stage hast to be Morbidly Obese (especially Round shape). Watching the character lumber down the buffet aisles, expression alternating happiness (from food) and trepidation (the weight) is amazing. The jiggle-physics, the ominous gurgling (too full but still eating), the liquid-y sloshing, and last but not least the seismic stomps with each step forward, shaking plates off the tables even. It's entirely cartoonish and yet almost plausible. The effort to move, the absurd amount of fat still mobile and the clothes still heroically clinging on for dear life. It's like a perfect snapshot of the hyperbolic weight gain fantasy, complete with all the sound effects we think of. I look forward to seeing what's next. I could write an essay on the Snackrooms concept alone and how well that works as a setting LOL. Excellent work as always!
This is awesome!
Been seeing this popping up every now and then, figured Id try it out! would love to see popped-out bellybuttons and swollen feet with maybe a toe spread :) Ideally, would love to make my OC Nami Muhiko, she can be seen being inflated huge over on my youtube channel in a mortal kombat video for her, for an idea of some of the unique inflations ive made for that :)
dunno where to comment, but have you ever thought about adding physics to the smaller (but still respectably fat) bodies? things like ragdolls, maybe?
That's something to think about, but I expect a lot of difficulties with it considering how the body parts change shape and size dynamically.
Is it possible for the future to have a option that the inflation will be automatic just like the blueberry? That you put a balloon on the character and it starts to inflate bigger and bigger, just like with the blue berry
Probably. I'll see if I can add that next time I work on inflation stuff
una cosa a mi se me bugea la camara de primera persona sinseramente no se porque
could you make custom colour sclera on the eyes?
Yeah, you can already do this. Pupil color changes the iris color and eye color changes the sclera color. The labeling is a little misleading. I might change that.
For some reason, I just want to see a plague doctor mask accessory
I think I can make that happen.
AMAZING update, also sent a business inquiry dm 👀
Awesome update been playing around with it alot! Would there be any other updates where we can change what piece of clothing gets the pattern? I'm thinking like a patterned tie or having the pattern on the "Pull over" top. Possibly a slider to let us change the height/length of some trousers or shirts! Having some belly peek out is super hot, but it would be nice to give our chubs a "realistic" outfit
Good suggestions. I was thinking about how to add patterns to the secondary clothing color area too, but I haven't figured out the best way to handle that yet, especially since the character shader is maxed out on swappable textures. A slider for clothing coverage would be nice too, but I'm also not sure how to pull that off from a technical standpoint. I will keep looking into this stuff and hopefully find a way.
I'd like to see hats, more eyewear like eyepatches, coats, and skirts
I'll probably add some hats and an eye patch. Form fitting coats are likely too, but stuff like skirts would be extremely difficult to handle with all the varying body types and sizes. So unless I find some clever way to handle that sort of thing easily, that type of clothing is unlikely.
Update is amazing. Shiny see through top is peak! :) Found some hair that doesn't cast a shadow though, but otherwise no issues. Would love to see the option to turn off food regeneration until you eat everything both in snackrooms and out. :) Also Photo mode!
Good suggestions. I'll keep them in mind as I continue to develop stuff.
How is it that we have all these shapes for balloons, but not pooltoy? lol
Hmmm. That's an idea worth considering.
Holy shit, you did the drill hair!! Thank you so much~!
This looks exciting! I have a question I figured I’d raise. Would you consider making a Discord server for people in the $5 tier that serves not just as a general community, but a way for people to show off their own custom characters, report bugs with visuals to give you a better understanding of what needs to be fixed, and make suggestions for features to be added in future updates?
I've considered it, but to be totally honest, I deal with a lot of social anxiety. So the thought of managing a discord server feels too overwhelming for me to handle appropriately on top of the many responsibilities in my life right now. It's more manageable for me to engage with the community on here than an instant messaging platform. I do apologize since I know it's less convenient. But as always, feel free to make suggestions or bug reports in the comments here or through DMs.
Nice update. A few ideas for customization: tattoos, hair streaks, chokers, bellybutton piercing, more shoes (boots, sneakers) and large logos / text for shirts.
Oh and lipstick
Is there somewhere you take suggestions for updates or do people just ask in the comments?
Yeah, feel free to suggest ideas in the comments.
This is awesome! I would also love to see more NPCs added to the other maps with new dialogs as well! It would be super awesome if there was also an option to make them crowd around you and make fun of you when you are in blob form too! I know you are busy, but this would be so good! Thanks :)
I will definitely add more NPCs to other maps at some point and the crowding thing is a good idea. I'll consider it next time I work on NPC stuff.
Banger update, for the second part I’d love to see more eye and face options in general (especially more anime inspired eyes)
I'll see what I can do
Amazing, a ragdoll function would be so good like we could have our characters lay down while growing
Idk how well ragdolls would work with some of these shapes and sizes but I might experiment with that at some point
Will furry/demi human customization options be added at any point?
Yeah, I'll be adding some stuff like that next update
Hi blobygon, when other characters appear they are all skinny. Some fat or obese girls would be fine 😉. Thanks for your impressive work...
I will probably add some weight variation to them next time I work on NPC stuff
Would also love a boob heavy weight gain pattern/blob!
Sort of like starting the belly as usual and then from later stage of fat or obese, the tits start blowing past the belly and get most of the fat. Sort of like an exponentially more fat of every KG gained goes to the tits up until blob size.
...replacing the food pieces after eating is convenient, but then, why would you have the other snacks for? Going around to collect the food would be also good, that you have something "to do"... another suggesion would be, weight gain would be dependant from the different sizes of the food... just adding a bit to the "realism" 😏
I haven't touched the feeding system in a while, but I plan to flesh it out more eventually. I'll keep these suggestions in mind
in the "tall" option, the belly looks nice, but the excessive upper back fat looks weird. Maybe a reduction would be nicer ;-)
I personally love the back fat in that design. However, I plan to add more blob variants down the road and I could probably add a tall one with less emphasis on the upper back part.
Also would be nice addition to have like LBS or Kilo tracker, of current weight and weight gained. That way we can see it happening in the numbers as well!
That would be a nice touch. I'll see if I can add that next time I work on the weight gain system.
Would it be a neat idea to add at least one chair to sit on and break, or scale to outmax in the game, or doorway to be getting stuck at, breakable according to weight/measurements? You might be able to make it in a dedicated spot, using the mechanics similar like the chocolate pipeline! :-D
I want to add some stuff like that at some point. And you're right, it's a lot more manageable for them to be in dedicated spots like the choco tube.
....additionally, bigger boobs, upper arms and thighs would be great. I'm more into "realistic" gains.... getting some sliders to adjust these things to personal preference would be nice. Thanks in advance for your effort...😉
Getting specific areas to be adjustable like that is tricky. It worked well for the belly since it's a big uniform circular area. I've tried some other areas with mostly crappy results, but maybe I'll figure it out eventually.
Hello blobygon, firstly, I like this simulation a lot ! Could you make an option where the belly hangs reaching the floor, while walking normally with the feet touching the ground ? The hips and butt maybe not as huge as in the wide option. Appreciate your work ;-)
Yeah a non-skinny belly growth path would be nice. I will consider it when I add more growth options.
What do you plan for the next update?😁 Or is it a secret ?
Next update will add even more cosmetic options. After that, I'm not sure. Maybe reworking the weight class system to be more smooth and automatic. Might try to make bigger blobs happen too.
suggestion for the next update, masks, like theatre masks and other kinds, maybe an alternate version of the wide blob type where it goes to the front primarily instead of the back
Masks would be cool. I'll see what I can do.
Ooh, I've been thinking about it, not to add onto the constant influx of "hey have you thought about this thing", but I am curious, do you think the sound effects are final, or someday would you think of adding different effects and/or more variety? I really love that there's stomach+fart SFX it adds so much to immersion and what kind of stories you think up to yourself playing lol But! I do honestly feel like there could be improvement perhaps? Like differing sound mixing, varying effects based on the current weight/state of the PC Gurgles are 'hungrier' (those higher pitched, whiny kinds) when skinny, before becoming more like the deep churning from an upset stomach, flatulence becomes lower and bubblier when inflated, all of this being tweakable from a menu, etc. That's already what I enjoy from the current builds, in terms of playing with the SFX to fit the 'scene' I do have a large collection of these kinds of samples, but I'm not sure how it would work in terms of if they're free to use since they were sourced by someone clipping porn over the years. I could share the collection if you'd like to take a look through, it's still downloadable! If not all that, I'd be interested in learning how to add my own custom sounds to avoid potential trouble lol Much longer comment than expected, sorry! You're doing great work as is, not to take away from that with all this lol, and I don't even know what your plans are with the audio anywho, I know there's already much to work on, but I'd love to see these kinds of changes/additions (someday!)
I will continue improving sound stuff as time goes on, but I try to make sure the sound effects are fair use or license-able. Making them more dynamic/based on growth stage would be a nice touch. Idk how to make it so people can import custom sounds, but it could probably be done with unity modding tools if you want to go down that rabbit hole.
This is really exciting!! It's always nice to see how it's coming along, can't wait to see how it all comes together someday.
Gemmy! Would be lovely to see some kemonomimi stuff in the future if you do not mind adding that..
I hope to add some animal ears and tails in the next update.
I would love the possibility to feed the npc's too. With that you could potentially feed all the girls in the buffet map and have all bodytypes at once. Also some are a little bit arrogant and could really use the feeding tube
I'd like to add npc feeding eventually, but it would probably be more limited than the main character since having multiple blobs at once can tank the fps and also causes a lot of issues.
Bloby, just had an idea for a new game mode as we just have the backrooms one so far. Taking advantage of the character slot reformulation, you could make a versus card game between created characters and npcs using the expansions and transformation we have so far in the game as a point system where the first one to pop loses. And this mode can be play on turns allowing to be played on local multiplayer, single player vs bots and single player controlling both characters, and at the same time you didn't need to program a second controller.
That's a neat suggestion, but it's not really a direction I'm interested in pursuing. More actual gameplay would be good though, and I hope to add more stuff to do as I continue development.
The materials look better.
Speaking of making android characters, if I may make some suggestions? An war option that gives the characters ear antennas like Quote and Curly Brace from Cave Story? And maybe, idk how possible this would be, change the feet to be pegs like Aigis from persona 3 and Elster from Signalis?
I could probably do the ear antennas, but idk about changing the feet.
i love the new update but i wanted to ask could there be in the future like a place or a mechanic that would be like the cat girl filling video if u know what im talking about that the character would get stuck and slowly eat the cream filling and get fat
I think I know what you're talking about. It'd be pretty tricky to make that work, but I might consider it someday
Can we maybe in future updates also feed the npc or something
Yes please, i would love that, especially in the buffet setting
Thanks for the preview text.
Being able to make the massive belly from red balloon even bigger was the best surprise here lol
Great update! I was wondering if you'd be interested in making either a super building sized update. Like a city emergency OR be interested in making monobutt shapes. There are a handful of types out there.
Oooh I gotta second an interest in there being monobutt inflation lol
Really appreciate all the hard work you've put into this project!
i just tried this build and noticed you added FSR, it definitely helps for lower end hardware to play it properly, as well as the option to disable the water effects. I'm guessing sound effects for every category may be in the future as well?
Maybe. Are there any particular sound effects you’d like more control over?
This update is amazing! The amount of customization is really nice! Looking forward to the next update to even more custimazitions, but untill then we can all play an amazing game with this new update! Thank you for you hard work and time!
I’m really happy with the many patterns :). Plus, the new skin sliders are a lot cooler than I honestly thought they would be. The only possible new idea I’ve had is for more slob stuff. Like an option for there to be crumbs or pieces of food between folds at larger sizes, skin creaking for inflation, but that’s all really Niche and low priority for me. Excited to see what comes next in June, good luck. Edit: I was messing around in sounds and saw that you had already put in creaking a while back, I just had bad settings. So cool.
Thank you for adding male hairstyles!
Oooohh! I will say this update is definitely what was needed for those with more artistic visions!
I do hope we get more growth paths in the future as I wanna be able to have evenly distributed blubber as a blob c:
Heyyy thank you !!! Ça serait incroyable de pouvoir être là personne coincé dans les tuyaux et ne rien pouvoir faire !
absolutely peak
An impressive update, and I'm eager to see what's next. Do you think they might add cow prints, skulls, bats, and some lingerie sets, Japanese swimsuits, or gym wear for the next one?
I can probably add some of that. I’ll see what I can do.
Great update but I have a question. Can you still transfer your old saves over? I tried the old method but they aren't showing up in my game.
You can try copying them into the Local folder (instead of local low) > blobygon > characters but they might not look right since I changed a lot of the save file’s structure. If not you’ll need to remake them. But you shouldn’t have to remake them ever again after that.
Love this update! The UI is much simpler to use now too. Are you gonna revisit the possibility of adding new weight gain options in the near future?
Idk how soon I will get to it but I definitely plan to add more weight gain options.
Awesome, would love to see cow print!
You can kinda make cow print already with the camo option if you make two of the colors the same, but I’ll see about adding a dedicated pattern for that
yooo this looks so good! very excited for the next update as well :3
holy hell, what an update! So excited that I can make a slimegirl now!!! :D great work!
Gooooood now I can make transparent slime gal :D
Yooooo! This is really impressive! I was a little skeptical of the translucency but then the demonstration. That really got the creativity pumping!
This is a good update, so much character customization, also a lot of clothes and pattern designs to choose from. ^^
This is awesome! There's so much customization now, and more to come is great. I'm hoping for more mouth customization in the future, I'd love to have some big juicy lips to slap on her, lol. I did notice something odd with the models when they're skinny, their back seems weirdly concave behind and under the arms.
Yeah, I noticed that too once I started messing with patterns. I need to refine the model's skin weights at some point to fix that
Can I transfer my saves from older versions to the new version, or will I need to remake my characters?
Unfortunately, you'll need to remake them, but this should be the last time you'll ever need to.
Your ability to casually rebuild swaths of the game from the ground up never ceases to amaze me. Though in seriousness I cant imagine the under-the-hood junk that goes into these updates, keep being great dude! ❤️
Hey blobygon I'm so excited I can wait try it out I know it's going to be insanely excellent blobygon i want to tell you that you really work hard and I don't take it for granted I hope you know that keep up with the outstanding work blobygon no matter what I'm still supporting you and your work much love blobygon 🩷💯🫡😇🔥
wait opacity is kind of fire
I'm eager to see a clothes overhaul where they're more than just a texture on top of the model if that's ever possible one day, I'd really like to see skirts or dresses one day haha
You are awesome, I'm speechless.
It's so peak...do you think more balloon shapes are possible? perhaps an all chest one for example?
Yeah. Sometime down the road when I revisit inflation stuff, I'll see if I can add that.
Will you add the character outfits in the next part? Also the short side part seems to have a problem in 1st person
Actually it seems like a lot of the new hairstyles have clipping problems in first person
Rly insane work keep it coming!
update so good i could cry
Amazing job! The new system I'd argue is leaves better than the old one. Keep it up! <3
This update is so peak ❤️
