LMAO I clicked on the game because it's version 0.30 but it's basically 0.2 after almost 3 years of development. Respect. There is literally nothing but 2 fake choices and a few renders
Assuming there are only 2 total states for Paula: "Fit" and "Fat":tbh its kind of "the publics" fault for thinking that a game made by a small (or single) group of people in 2021 would have paths that would be determined by her looks (which are done by our actions) and still be complete in a timely fashion
you are quite mistaken about hair color change vs body size and shape.....Assuming there are only 2 total states for Paula: "Fit" and "Fat":
At most such an option is double the required renders and just for that character. Also, you must note when a person is losing weight they don't lose it that day. It would likely be weeks into the game before any weight loss is visually noticeable.
It's on par with the added difficulty of having an alternate hair color for a character, or an extended pregnancy route that is optional.
Then some renders will not need a double for that character. If they are wearing loose fitting clothing such as a robe for example or if it is a shot of upper body / head only a 2nd image isn't needed without seeing a lot of the body. That weight would be more around the middle / lower half of the body so extra renders are more needed for full body shots.
The person's height / limb length doesn't change in a fatter version. Sure, some poses may need a slight adjustment, but many will line up right just automatically or very close to just right. Any extra posing is just a minor tweek to the scene being rendered. There is a lot of extra rendering though.you are quite mistaken about hair color change vs body size and shape.....
if a character has red hair vs blue you dont have to position them differently in the scene ie when they are sitting down/having sex which can go even further because not only would the positions be different but so would the sex itself (visually if nothing else) so that would require rendering multiple different animations not just a small change
you also ignore the fact that "fat vs fit" is not the only branch and since "fat vs fit" is so ingrained deep into the story every single other branch needs to have differences for "fat vs fit". and if the "fat vs fit" does not make a difference at all why even add it in the first place?
Edit: from what ive read we are only just a day in? We will see any body changes way faster than they should happen so I dont really know why you bring up that point
1. The "fit fat" thing will probably just be the stuff shown at the start (when the feature is talked about) so you are right that it wouldn't be a huge change and normally wouldn't be as big of an issue but then we have to consider the amount of time spent to get just this far.....and then remember that there isn't even an alternative path yet so add on atleast a 1.5x wait time (generous for this dev) going forward obviously guesswork on numbers but the idea that it will be much slower is almost a guarantee given what we have seen so farThe person's height / limb length doesn't change in a fatter version. Sure, some poses may need a slight adjustment, but many will line up right just automatically or very close to just right. Any extra posing is just a minor tweek to the scene being rendered.

I don't think they are gonna add a massive amount of muscle or fat. It will probably just be slightly more tone / thin vs how she is
It's not like Paula is a great big fat person right now. She is just a little curvy. She is thick.
If it is to be realistic I don't see noticeable weight changes coming in week 1.
Even gigantic fat people are only supposed to lose like 2-3 lbs a week. Much more than that is dangerous.
lmao!My download and unzipping of files took longer than the actual update. WTF?
Looks like you have an earlier version.Did MC/Paula/Silvia sunblock scene with Paula and MC get cut in update? Just as sister arrives?
Also WTF?
Not a scene removed but mins of update?!
The left is Paula without MC training her, the right is with MC taking over her diet and exercise.View attachment 3215024
Random and probably stupid question but are these two the same character or not? I've played the game and I'm still not sure. I just know the mom you see in the first scene looks different from the mom you see in the more recent ones. And these two look identical.
Hi.I read the post about the patches, but I didn't follow the explanation.
- Joker patch with name change does what, besides allowing you to change the MC's name?
- Joker WT Mod is the walkthrough; does it include the name change or relationship patch?
- RP Patch is the relationship patch but does not include the WT or name change?
So far, so good, except that they are not clear if you need all three, or if there is duplicate functionality.
Hi.Just 80 or 90 pictures....
Hi.Subjectively, my definition of update is incongruent with this update.
I think you got it!Assuming there are only 2 total states for Paula: "Fit" and "Fat":
