First of all: Awesome work! Appreciate the new buy MAX button.
A further QoL improvement would be to allow us to see breast capacity, without needing to the have the stats menu open (Or alternatively, moving the stat screen to the side so it doesn't block the view.)

Milk remains OP, but only because of Coffee. If you wanted the economy to actually matter, then you should consider putting a daily cap on coffee (bad for the babies or whatever) once you produce more than 50$ worth of milk per turn, you have an infinite money machine.

Speaking of, Tier 5 appears to be missing a picture for size 11 milking.

New VIP endings are great, Dr Kim's was my favorite by far. However a bug I noticed: If you consider your options and then decide to renew your contract instead, it doesn't properly reset your VIP interactions (They remain maxed out until you give birth again), nor the price for pregnancy extenders.

Looking forward to you adding more immobile renders for sizes 9+!

Thanks, glad you're enjoying it! It's funny how somebody will point something out and I just sit there like "yeah that's pretty obvious, how'd I not think of that?", which was the case for the max/stack buy buttons. I've added the capacity idea to my list and will either get it out in a small patch or in 0.9. I think I'm just going to make it a percentage that'll say how full you are since capacity can get pretty up there and the numbers would take up a ton of space on the stat bar (may play around with shortening the numbers too but we'll burn that bridge when we get there).

Balancing the milk economy has been an ongoing challenge. The milk is winning, and morale is at an all-time low. I think the daily cap on coffee may be the way to go; I'll take a look at those numbers and see what's up.

How did I go this long without noticing there's no size eleven image for tier five?!? Thanks for pointing that out, I'll get it rendered and added in. I'm going to add milking images for the immobile sizes, so I'll probably just include it with those.

I'm happy to hear you're enjoying the VIP system! I really enjoyed working on it and am excited to be able to tell different stories with it. Dr. Kim went through so many rewrites so I'm glad her final version actually landed. I appreciate all the feedback and bug reports, I'll get those fixed and updated.

Update: I went ahead and patched in the milk text and fixed the VIP issue. 0.8.1 is up on itch. Sadly, the in-game updater is not working so I'll have to get that fixed.

Wow that was quick!
And while I appreciate you adding a coffee limit, you can currently just buy more by pressing the custom button and inputting like 110 for example.
So probably just remove that button since MAX already makes you buy 3 ^^

lol I looked over the code and figured it would be a quick patch, so I threw it together. I really just wanted to test the updater but guess that's not working yet. I totally thought I fixed the custom amount too. I'll get that in the next patch. Appreciate you pointing these out!

The belly in the preview picture is absurdly huge, Is nothing the normal size for a pregnant belly?

This game caters more to the hyper pregnancy fetish. The first tier is relatively normal but it gets way bigger from there.

I just got the Lounge event with Kira.
Hilarious.

A thing I've noticed about the Stats pop-up: in the "Income This Pregnancy" section, the "Dance" income always stays at $0.00 and the "Milk" income, while increasing appropriately, doesn't reset between pregnancies.

Thanks you so much.
This game is very good.

You're the first person to say anything about it. It's my greatest work, hands down.

Strange, I'll take a look at what's going on. Thanks for letting me know!

I've found that the music and voice volumes in Preferences reset every time I launch the game.

I've found that the music and voice volumes in Preferences reset every time I launch the game.

I have a feeling I know what's causing that. I added menu music/more sounds in 0.8 and personally, I hate when I boot up a game for the first time and the menu music just blows out my eardrums, so I added some code that automagically sets the volume sliders to like 50 or 75% volume (I can't remember). I'm guessing that is kicking off every time the game starts. I'll remove that and see if that fixes it. Thanks for letting me know.

A few typos:


Should be "effective".


The sentence should start with "While".


I'm guessing that first "your" isn't supposed to be there.


Missing period.

Maybe I should have bought that grammarly subscription the youtubers were pushing. Just got these fixed, thanks!

I couldn't help but notice that the tier 4, size 3 belly is bigger when milking than when doing other activities.



Also, I seem to have hit size 4 in milking but not in anywhere else.


Though they seem to "catch up" once I get to "Due in 55 days."

I think that's just the pose and angle making the belly look bigger than it is since she has her back arched and is facing more to the side. I have a model preset made for each size and it's used for every image in that range, so everything is consistent. I'll double check though. As for you getting size four in milking before the others, that's odd. They all use the same logic, so I'll double check the images aren't mapped wrong. Thanks for letting me know!

Lol, I think this is the first time someone's made a meme edit with any of my (user)names.

Found a missing word:


As an aside, I like the music you picked for this game; I find the Jazz and Lofi tracks quite relaxing.
