Hello everyone, it is time for another devblog.

This devblog will be mainly about The Gain Trials, I'll explain some gameplay changes and what you can expect in terms of content.

Originally The Gain Trials didn't have a lot of writing, most of the dialogue just kept repeating and repeating from stage 2 to the end of the game. MarkJ94 has spend the last 5months writing/rewriting everything in the game, and I think it is amazing.
There will be events where Karren shows you the facility and introduces you to other trialists.
Sarah, Tracy and Krystal will all have their own reasons for participating in the trial.
You'll be testing new formulas on Catie, the test subject.
You'll have to choose between keeping the company happy or keeping the trialists happy.
There are just so many new things going on.

So, all this new writing is great, but obviously I'll have to make all the visuals for it.
What I liked about working on The Gain Trials initially was the animations.
All the immediate growth animations don't really fit into Fattening Career, but in TGT I can go wild with these. I decided to animate more parts of TGT, the characters playing with their milky breasts, Catie having unintended side effects from making the wrong formula and a bunch of idle animations. So expect most of the game to be animated.

Another part of this work on TGT is to get all the UI updated to the same level as Fattening Career. The stats menu will work the same + have the option to view the character from the side(something that will come to Fattening Career too).

The full version of The Gain Trials will take a substantial amount of time to finish.
So, I set myself a soft-deadline of April 27th, which is when I stop working on new stuff for the game and then take the next week to piece it all to together to get a demo out.
Whatever the Demo becomes is still a mystery, but there are a few aspects of the game, like the formula mixing minigame that I would like some feedback on.

After this I'll go back to working on Fattening Career 0.10
When I'll be going back to The Gain Trials after this point is still to be decided.

I'll be posting some spoilers for the The Gain Trials update soon.
Until then I'll be working on getting as much good content done before the end of April.

Have a good day,
