The last weeks have been pretty uneventful, Since I stopped my day job to fully work on the game I also decided to focus on my own health more. Figuring out a routine for my days to be productive and healthy is a bit of a balancing act, but I will get there.
Because of all the great feedback I get from you guys I know what parts of the game need attention. While this isn't planned for this coming update, I realize that the repeating university scenes every day are probably the worst part of the game right now. I will be doing a few things in 0.08(this is not the next update but the one after.) to make this better.
- Your classmates, Hari, Caroline and Vicky will be the main focus of this update
- During Daisy's classes she will be assigning group projects, these group projects will be done with one of these characters(you can choose who).
- When a group project is ongoing, you will have the option to "study" together with you group project partner.
- These group projects will be done in a private classroom for "maximum focus"
- The group projects will be the way to progress the characters, in both story and weight.
- There will also be many new teachable subject for Daisy to tell during her classes.
I believe having 3 new characters during school times with each their own scenes, stories and weight gain progressions will improve the replayability for the university parts of the game.
Then I want to talk about the discord server I opened yesterday. Hopefully the sudden drop into the discord server wasn't too annoying, When I added the Patreon bot it just threw everyone who has discord linked to their Patreon in there without warning. The discord server can be used as a place to talk about the game, ask me questions, give suggestions, talk about other games, other weight gain stuff. It really is just a community server for people who share a similar interest in weight gain games. If you haven't been thrown in there, here is the link: https://discord.gg/QDPbbfx3cE
I'm not sure if I had talked about this yet, but for next update I will add a feature in the stats page so you can cycle between weight gain stages for the characters, then you can compare their gains. I have reworked some RNG elements to be more forgiving, if you haven't had Bonnie visit in Bunny Bites for a few days she gets a higher chance to visit the next time for example. This is all programming work without new art needed, so it doesn't take that long to implement.
I have started working together with Normythemage to make all the pages for Fattening Career a bit more appealing. There will also be a trailer and some other cool promotional material. I posted a few animations used in this on my Discord for you to check out.
I haven't gotten to a point where I can tell you when the next update is coming yet, there is still a lot of renders to make for all the different events I'm working on. But hopefully I can give a release date in the next devblog.
Thanks for all the support and have a good day!

It’s a difficult switch to make your own work schedule. Definitely super important to create health-forward habits. Very wise to focus on that at the start!

Striking/finding the balance of work/ regular and mental health is a difficult yet necessary one so best of luck. And never feel guilty for prioritizing ur personal well being
