Would love to see some more stages for some of the girls

Loopsnbloops

Absolutely adore this game! Updates are like candy. I really hope the cult sees more of a spotlight. It would be neat to have the cult start to fatten up characters in the background.

There've been bits of news peppered throughout the discord. Seems like the game is currently being tested. Testing should wrap up this weekend or slightly after, and the release will follow shortly. So my guess is release on 10/12 but take that with a grain of salt I can't confirm anything officially. Edit: Guess I was right! Yay

News????

Joe

The Bunny Bites Girls are my favorite part of the game. I can't wait to see their new scenes!

Marlow

Just want to chime in to say the game is great, and thanks for your hard work. I'm looking forward to the new release whenever it's ready, and would LOVE new Hari content and stages in future releases. That girl has room to grow ;)

Same here, eventhough new events are more than welcome, I wanna see them get fat and start having trouble doing everyday things like putting on shoes or fitting on a bus seat. Is immobilism considered at some point ? Not for all of them, but maybe for a fatty one and a titty one, that could be great. Always hated how Hypnosis stopped right at the edge of this, when it really is the culmination of their growth

Leanne and maya updates? LETS GOOOOO. Don't worry take as much time as you need in order to get things to where you want them.

Colin

I would love to see more hari in future updates! keep up the amazing work :>

Since this update doesn't come with any stages, I wouldn't mind waiting longer for a proper update, that'll include stages. Like they say, some things are worth the wait. Unlike others, I'm very patient and understanding. I would rather wait for a big update that is polished, more refined, done right, than small incremental ones. With that being said, I don't feel like my money is going to waste, take as much time as needed and I appreciate all the hard work (all parties involved) for their time and efforts.

DaveH

Some events for Maya specifically are perfectly fine and salvageable. These will go straight into 0.11

Anon

This update is.. well a lot in a good way woah

Traegerthorn

Very understandable that issues out of your control have severely impacted original estimations of the release date as well as the content planned for this update. I appreciate the transparency and am happy to continue waiting. My only issue is in the lack of a firm release date or at least an estimated release window. But, again, I understand why. Like you said, much of the remaining difficulty lies in testing and fixing any potential errors, which makes it hard to estimate when exactly these issues will be ironed out. It's nice to see an update from you Blade, and I look forward to the eventual release. Just don't burn yourself out too hard trying to get it to us!

Because you put in the work on the other content before pivoting, do you see yourself having less work to do between .10 coming out and .11 or did everything you worked on before this pivot have to get thrown out completely?

DaveH

Yes, every big update makes old saves incompatible.

DaveH

Hey, I have considered this. But at the time of my illness I did not have the correct insurances set up to make up for a period of zero income.

DaveH

This is correct. There was a bunch of Maya content and a stage for both Hari and Daisy planned, but those got cut out. Instead there is a bunch of extra Bunny Bites girls events.

Brusto _

You are totally right and I apologize for the outburst. Love you guys let's keep up the cause! :)

DaveH

Yes, those are the things that got cut this update.

DaveH

No new weight gain stages will be added this update, besides the base models for Caroline and Vicky.

DaveH

Hey, I understand you feel frustrated about this situation we are in right now. I feel frustrated too, I wanted things to go more smoothly and quickly, but here we are. I have said it before, but if you just want the updates for the games, I highly recommend to either only subscribe when the updates have released or wait until I make those updates publicly available. Supporting me through my journey in making these weight gain games is highly appreciated and it allows me to work on this full-time, but I can't offer frequent enough updates to make everyone feel it is worth their money to keep subscribed. In terms of development and expanding the team I would like to give you a little bit of insight of the issues that I face. First off, in terms of writing I got my bases covered now, I got a few skilled writers that feed me most of the dialogue to implement into the game and create visuals for. I got a great moderator to take off some of the community management work I would have needed to do myself. But, the thing that is bottle necking the project is by far my own ability to create the visuals. Now, I'm not apposed to getting another artist working on the project, and I have tried to get someone else on board. The issue is that within a niche space like weight gain there aren't that many 3D artist, then if you take into consideration the program I use, it narrows down the pool even more. And then if I do find that person, it is highly likely they are busy with their own projects to join me. Look, I understand where you are coming from. If you feel wronged, you can send me a DM on Patreon and I'll get your subscribtion refunded.

There are a team of writers working on this game (which he pays), not just Blade. Besides, a large dev team doesn't always mean a good end product, I've paid £60 for AAA games that were terrible / dead on arrival. Just look at the latest releases from Ubisoft and Sony. Blade also clearly said several weeks ago that he would be giving the game to people subbed for the previous month and you can get the game for free a month after release if it is about saving money.

Resistinternaltiny90

Luna will have a new stage

Андрей играет в игры

I hope I see release 0.10

Anthony Devuno

Sorry, I know you didn't mean any harm. Nevertheless, I have to intervene briefly here. 1. You're looking at the subscription the wrong way. The subscription is not a guarantee that you will get something in return, but a way to support the creator. If you don't want to pay, you can always wait another 1-2 months until the update comes out for free. 2. Blade has already mentioned that he can now work full-time on the game because he can make a living from it. 3. You can't believe that there are so many difficulties in launching the game. But have you ever worked with the programs Blade is working with? I have! And I can say that until the model does what it wants and you can create the scene you want, it takes a hell of a long time, even with experience. Especially with the higher stages, it gets more and more complicated to make something that still looks halfway realistic. And these are just the problems with the program for the models. I haven't even mentioned Renpy and the other programs. 4. Finally, I can understand that you are impatient. I am too, but that's no reason to say something like that, even if it might be advisable for Blade to look for 1-2 additional developing supporters. So stay nice to everyone in the community!

Proudfoot

have you considered pausing payments for this month, considering the significant delays? im certainly sympathetic to delays caused by software messes, but it would be a nice gesture in response to the frustration im sure a lot of people are feeling

Anthony Devuno

Hey Blade, I hope you've been able to recover well since your absence for medical reasons and you're back to 100% performance. We are always happy when you communicate transparently so that we can understand your hard work. I'm looking forward to the next update as I still think you've created the best game in this category. Keep up the good work, we are all excited, and above all take your time, be it for your own health or for the game to hit like a bomb. I have one small question: it seems there will be a lot of new content for the existing stages, but no new stages, is that right?

Brusto _

the best part is that 5 euros a month at a time, since I signed up, at least for me, are now the equivalent of a triple a game on Steam. Considering that I've been signed up since last August, with a basic calculation it will turn out that I donated a whopping 60 euros, now added to other potential 10 people like me, our friend has made a whopping 600 euros/dollars (and we all know that there aren't only 10 subscribers) and I have to believe that there are so many difficulties in releasing a game like this? with the money earned you could think of expanding the development team. All this is said in absolute calm and tranquility. However, I only ask for a little more seriousness and professionalism, since each of us is giving you their money. Thanks for the work Bladerune and keep it up I love your work!!

Brusto _

waited a month only to find out it's postponed again... nice...

SuperHans

Does this mean no new weight sizes and less of the maya content that was planned?

Varlin

Natalie, Luna, and Roxie hypeee. With a bonus of Maya, Leanne, and Lisa. Awww yes.

Aftermath

Lisa and Maya enjoyers are going to be eating good this update. Thanks for the keeping in touch with us!

Big_Shifty

Sounds like a lot of good stuff, don't worry about the delay I'm sure you can figure it out, game has been outstanding so far

Dylan Goyvaerts

Are there any new weight stages coming for existing girls or the intro ones this update? Great work btw

DaveH

Yes, and they'll also have the toggle for being turned around.

Story Master

If I may ask for a clarification on one of the items on the list. When you say “hospital girls stats menu images” does that mean they will get the toggle for their clothes?

Petr Hájek

Take all the time you need. Thanks for update 👍

InflataTwink
