Update. Simple solution built into the UI of the program I'm using to develop this. Updated the save slots for the next update to be 10 total slots

2023-06-08 00:33:10 +0000 UTCI haven't thought about that before. I'm not sure what it would take to do that to be honest. I'll spend some time looking into it and see if it's possible :)

2023-06-08 00:11:34 +0000 UTCAny chance of adding more save slots at some point? Lover the game and this update was one of my favorites BTW.

2023-06-07 16:49:44 +0000 UTCIll be honest, i felt like i was sitting through 20 minutes of text before i was able to make my own decisions and i couldn't skip any of it. To make things worse, when i finally made it to the first choice, the game froze, this has been an ongoing issue for a few updates.

2023-06-02 00:20:54 +0000 UTCI actually loved this update! It's one of my favorite ones so far. It really didn't go where I thought it would at first (I thought this would be an athlete gets fat and struggles to compete story), but I still really enjoyed in. I thought the stark personality difference between the two characters really shone through in this one, which made it even more fun to have the double character update. It's not my favorite, but it is definitely upper tier. In regards to the Sophia storyline feeling slight, I actually don't think it was the content so much as the lack of choices. I think a similar amount of words but with an extra choice or two thrown in would have helped a lot. As is, it mostly just felt like reading a story for her path, rather than an actual Choose Your Own Adventure.

2023-05-31 23:23:14 +0000 UTCThat makes sense, you make some very high quality 3D models :)

2023-05-31 21:28:04 +0000 UTCFair points! Normally when I focus on one individual, they have 8-10 different stages. That gets cut in half when it's a 2 person story. Rest assured, next story is focused on one individual :)

2023-05-31 20:45:01 +0000 UTCThat is to say Sophia was absolutely incredible model, new standard for beauty. Svetlana is nice but Sophia was much cuter in my opinion and had a much nicer face, like 10/10, whereas sveltana was like 8/10. I want to reiterate I REALLY did love this update ❤️

2023-05-31 05:12:08 +0000 UTCI enjoyed the update immensely, but to echo and work off of the general critical feedback, there seemed to be less intermediary weights for Sophia and Svetlana. Coming off the last update where there was a large number of weight stages and it all built up quite smoothly, it was a but more jarring this time around for Sophia after you choose to help her sister lose the weight in Sophia's branch, as well as a bit rapid in Svetlanas own branch. This is my thought at least.

2023-05-31 05:09:47 +0000 UTCThat's fair. To be honest, it's hard to balance things. This script was 17,000 words again which is towards the upper end of things. Not sure if people would rather have a shorter script (10,000 words for example) if they got the same treatment as Svetlana's path or if they would rather have a 10k path like Svetlana's followed by a 7k path like Sofia's. There's just not enough time to have 20,000 word scripts. That's basically two updates in one which is just not doable for me.

2023-05-31 05:07:12 +0000 UTCIt's criticism, but it's perfectly fair criticism! When I think back to this update versus some of the other ones, I think there were less drastic moments with rapid visual changes. For instance, when Lauren drank her potions in the previous update, she had multiple clothing issues. In this update, the only real "moment" that even comes to mind is when Sofia's shirt popped open.
CoastalBunny
2023-05-31 05:04:32 +0000 UTCThat's fair. I think a lot of times there are a lot more "plans" for the script that just don't come to fruition apparently. I'll bring this back to polarisdreamer so we can discuss how stories are scripted.

2023-05-31 05:01:33 +0000 UTCI definitely enjoyed it, but I would echo the sentiment that Sofia’s path seemed a little slight comparatively.

2023-05-31 03:48:36 +0000 UTCI loved the characters but i can't put my finger on why this update felt a bit off for me personally. There was loads of dialogue but felt a bit shorter on the content side of things. Not a criticism though you're still smashing it!

2023-05-31 01:53:06 +0000 UTCI kind of wished there was an ending where they both stayed fat/got fatter, but I liked both endings! I was also kind of hoping to see the sister standing up in the ending where she got huge but that’s my personal preference! The update was great! Looking forward to the next one!

2023-05-31 00:58:53 +0000 UTCPersonally, I really liked it since Sofia is probably my favorite character so far appearance wise. That said, I can kind of see where the other commenter is coming from in that she felt a bit secondary even in her path at times. I wouldn't be opposed to her getting her own stand alone chapter by any means. 🤣

2023-05-31 00:21:27 +0000 UTCI felt like Sofia got a little shafted and should've been held off to get her own update.
