Just a quick update from me after having done another playthrough with the game tweaks, I think its in a perfect state of using your brain for process of elimination without it being too annoying to complete. Compared to last time I only failed once out of all of my mixing attempts and upon a retry got it complete(failed 10ish times last time) but I didn't find it 'too' easy or coast through the game by any means.

2024-05-20 19:28:05 +0000 UTCAww man Blade out here killing it again with the team man! First off great, great work~ its so amazing to see everyones skills just ramping up update after update. I'd in a way forgotten how much I thoroughly enjoyed the gain trials from the initial release at the game jam. But what a joy it was playing back through - and while its hard to remember what exactly the "old" dialogue and story was vs the new content, this latest playthrough just felt really really great. Each character has their own personality and qualms initially about the trial that you overcome with time which is perfect. I especially enjoy Tracys warming up to you, and thats saying something because im such an hourglass lover myself and expected to be a Sarah superfan instead. The minigame is a great idea to shake up the pace and give the player something to do other than tap the screen/click enter. I wont lie though at times (especially around the dreaded stage 2) I would be trying my butt off to follow the prompts but would fail over and over, which did leave to some mild frustration. Not so much at the game itself, mind you, but at the feeling that "man I swear I narrowed each option down, what the heck did I do wrong??" Potentially some tweaking to each items description vs rules check to help them 'contrast' a bit better for my tiny brain lol. Or maybe at that final end screen when I failed the mixture and a picked option is red or yellow (why the different colors sometimes btw?) have below it WHY I got it wrong like "high pressure doesnt work with this product" etc so its clear where the mistake was so a opportunity to learn is available. I love the 'STATS' screen and all it comes with, its really flushed out now and great to use. Will there be a way (like in FC) on final release to replay stages before we hit the ENDING option and are kinda stuck 'finishing' the game? I was excitedly pushing each girl to their final 'stage' before being kinda roadblocked with the ENDING option, but that may be be just a placeholder for this release of course. Just wanted to express my desire for a scene experience option or someway to enjoy each girl at maximum before moving on the end of the game and losing that access. Man all I can say again is phenomenal stuff, even if that game doesnt get touched at all I will still be all over this update when it drops. I know this is a test build but I sincerely hope there is plenty of new stages and more scenes in the final release, the foundation here is just so darn great. Thank you again for such amazing work!

2024-05-10 00:55:18 +0000 UTCIncredible update release! The different mini game combinations I’ve found so far have been so good, absolutely love this feature. I do see how some people are getting confused but for the most part if you take a second to think over the options it is fairly simple. Makes me more and more excited for FC 1.10 to release in the future

2024-05-09 14:57:17 +0000 UTCAgree with other people here saying that the mixing mini-game is confusing (additionally, the second time I got the mini-game it said the mixture was a failure but Caity drank it anyway? Not sure if that was intentional or if it changed anything in the story). Also agree with other people that the update is great! Love the character models the changes you made since the initial release. Very much looking forward to the whole 'opinion' system you plan to introduce!

2024-05-09 11:20:29 +0000 UTCHey, Thank you for the feedback on the update. Many of the choices are supposed to add/subtract opinion points from characters which impacts the story ultimately(this will be implemented in a future release). Some other choices will lead to new tests being done on Catie to create new drugs. The mixing minigame is definitely the part that needs to most adjustment to feel good, as the developer it is hard to grasp if such a thing is too hard or too easy beforehand, so having your feedback helps shape this feature to be better in future releases.

2024-05-09 08:56:11 +0000 UTCThank you for your feedback. This is exactly why I wanted to get a release out. For MarkJ94 and me the clues don't seem that hard because we made them and have a spreadsheet with everything in there. With feedback from others who haven't seen the minigame before, I can adjust the difficulty and clarity of the clues.

2024-05-09 06:19:46 +0000 UTCI like that we are given choice for who we progress further with. I also like the inclusion of Caity and her different growths. I love that you included the updates to the stat screen like in FC as well as a look at what we can expect for the side view for next update. The other story happening outside of the trials with Heidi is interesting and I’m eager to see where it goes in the future. I also like the choices given to tell the girls about additions to their formula or the effects of the drink, it would be great if in the future there are consequences to making one choice or another. Like they wain weight in different parts of their body or it makes them gain more weight or bigger brea it’s, belly, or ass at the next trial or something to that effect. As long as the choice matters and there are impacts to the events. One thing I didn’t like was the matching game for the growth serum. It felt tedious and annoying at times. Especially since there were no consequences if I got it wrong. It may just be because that part wasn’t quite finished before the demo’s release but it was definitely the weakest component to the update.

2024-05-09 04:52:58 +0000 UTCGreat update, just a small note though. I tried the mixing game 20 times in a row, but kept failing. English isn't my native language and I found the hints that the mixing mini-game gives unclear.
