Overall Patreon Update!
🕑 Added 2025-10-30 19:12:50 +0000 UTCIt's been about a month since the last major game update, so I thought I would keep you all updated with what I've been working on!
Life Update
As of last Sunday, I have officially dropped from 3-4 days per week, to a maximum of 2 days, at my real world job. I will be helping them see out this Christmas period, and plan on completely leaving in the new year to pursue content creation full time.
This means from now on, you should see bigger updates, and a wider variety of content available in general here on my Patreon.
Feeder Simulator
The full rework of the cooking system in game is complete in all ways except creating the images for every single dish. It's coded, it's tested, it works. I just have to make the rest of the visuals.
There will be 24 types of dish you can make when cooking at home now, and each dish will come in 3 sizes. These vary from simple baking like cookies, to a whole lasagne, or filet mignon.
The girls have all been given a favourite flavour palate, and you can work out what kind of dish they like based on feedback given after cooking for them. Cooking dishes that contain their favourite flavour, will lead to faster gains! Kayla for example, has a sweet tooth, so will gain more when eating a homemade cake than a burger.
As for the rest of the update? You should expect the characters with less stages to really begin to catch up with the original cast, receiving multiple new stages in 0.5
I'd love for everyone to get a new stage here, but it's too early to promise anything yet, but if anyone is missed out you can be sure they will have plenty of focus in the next update after 0.5!
King's Feast
Thank you to everyone that has shown some early support by upgrading to tier 2 already, despite the warnings that a playable demo is likely far off! I'd love to know what kind of content you would like to see you through until the first demo of the game is ready to try.
This game's production cycle is rather the opposite to Feeder Simulator, leaning far more into the programming side than the rendering. Once more of the programming foundations are laid, I hope to share more renders with you, however most of my time here at the moment has been writing code (which isn't particularly interesting to share)!
Bonus Content?
Before diving into the creation of Feeder Simulator, the first work I put out under "TheGrowState" were actually weight gain stories on DeviantArt. As some of my first ever content, they are definitely not up to my current standard of work, but I have thought it would be nice to write some more traditional linear stories with my extra time when I feel like working on something a bit different.
I will be trialling bonus content like this, and you can look forwards to a short story (with accompanying visuals) set in the Feeder Simulator universe, "Room Service", coming soon.
Thank you all for your support!

This post flew under the radar on my feed. Super excited to hear the transition to full time! Congratz, well earned success. Easily has become one of my favorite supported VN's! :)
