Is there gonna be another update or is the game done?
In progress
I like all the references to other people and projects up in here.
I wonder if i can mod my ocs into this...
Holon. I just had the perfect idea!
customer creation! I'm thinking the way "draw a stickman" does it is a good template.
Sorry if this is too big of a task. I'm not a game designer! >~<
didnt expect to see peak like draw a stickman meantioned on a fat fetish itch io game
It would be quite easy to! All of the pngs are in the files to edit freely, so long as you keep the filenames the same it should run as normal! Cobbled together a graphic to hopefully help. If you do end up making any, please share em!
(This also works to replace Emily's sprites if you so dare! But theres ALOT more of those, so it'd be a difficult task!)
You're a legend, bro. Thank you so much!
Uhhhhh..i don't think it can work on mobile.
ahhh yes my bad. this would be a pc work around i got no idea for mobile ;_;
i think it'd be fun if emily started to transform into a cow girl as she progresses to larger weight stages shedding the uniform and realizing the tail and horns wont come off
I love the artstyle of the game, its so cute :D
is there a list of where the cameos are from? I recognize like half of them but I'd love to see what Im missing
Here's a twitter thread with all the different creators and the origins I add to with each update - there will be 12 more character's added to this when the next update comes out!

looking forward to the update!
I hope you make swift progress, this is such a fun game!
December 3rd 2025 should be an interesting day for cowe.
this is worrisome
sorry i got high i wasnt myself when i threat this
LMAO?
We need a Shrek cowe in the next update
Don't ask
Whos the ángel girl and the witch baddie xd
Angel (one with white wings, i assume??) is from Liferake's Albero Verde, theres like 4 characters with witch hats at this point but if you mean from the same table, then thats the player character from the same game.
The chubby angel I guess is the you saying but the witch with dark objects and accesorys im saying tthanks by replying
I'm really enjoying the game, but the milking part is fucking me over hard. Are there any tips for it I can look at or get?
Edit: I should rephrase and say that with the volume of customers and the milking mechanism, I'm barely scraping by
If you've bought all the upgrades, you can turn off individual toppings if they're too much!
Also the sticker that makes Carly do her job is super helpful imo.
It's meant to feel quite hectic at that stage of the game, remember theres nothing lost if you have bad sale days except the cafe's star rating and money earned (and cowe is dissapointed in you. thats the REAL reason to keep trying your best...)
How is the next update coming along?
according to the artists twitter the art needed for the update has been pushed behind art needed for other projects
Can we have the ability to grab and shake Cowe around in the next update?
Cowe is just too cute.
wait hollon let em cook
I have a question will it be possible to play as othe characters
Como puedo guardar partida? No encuentro ningún lugar para guardar
This might sound a little silly, but what does WMU mean?
(Woman Measurement Unit???)I'm only asking so i can get a direct comparison to kilos
P.S thank you for making the notepad pause time, this makes it much less stressful.
1 WMU to equal 0.25 lbs.
Ah.
the weight makes a lot more sense now, but i still don't know what WMU stands for?
WMU stands for weight measurement unit - just something galac made up so a number could smoothly go up even if the jumps between weight stages range from subtle to dramatic, and so we don’t have to worry about about it lining up with real life measurements.
The 1 WMU to 0.25 LBS measurement isn’t perfect but it can give a ballpark answer if you really want to see roughly how much Emily weighs.
Are there any weight stages after the mall scene for the f2p version?
no
k thanks
You say f2p like there's a full version we can buy. This game is still a WIP.
good point .-.
thought there was a paid version for more content, thanks for at least telling me there isnt one
Are you refering to the part where all the girls go to the mall to buy new clothes or is there something after that??
yeah
when new phases of emily i want to see more bigger belly
love the references made of the other games
Is this game still being updated? The patreon has the last post in february
I think so. If the Patreon post was in February and the game was updated in April, I say yes.
Are we able to do the deed with Emily?
why, when I launch the game, it crashes instantly ?
I played it a few hours and i can't gain weight. How do i gain weight?? (I'm already eating lunchs)
You also have to stuff yourself with "rejected" meals. You can look up how to do that again in the tutorial.
Is there any way to save your current progress manually?
i've been playing quite the while and still don't figure that part out
Turns out im really fcking stupid and open the menu with right click
I think it would be nice to be able to TRADE stickers. I have an idea for how the system would go: You can offer 3 stickers of the same tier for a random one of a tier one higher up, and conversely, one of a higher tier for 2 random ones of a tier lower down. This should solve the problem of having extra or unused stickers.
Also, offering 2 or 3 of the same EXACT stickers could increase the chance of getting the same TYPE of sticker of a higher tier, sort of like upgrading them.
How old is Emily? Just out of curiosity. 🤨
i dunno. somewhere in her early 20s.
basically you can stick these on your notepad (3 max) and they will work all the time you have them sticked on
ty
how old was cowe
How do you check what weight gain stage you in
im not too sure, ive been wondering that myself tbh
im in the 2,000's
will cowe recover?
not on my watch.
will burping be added?
it's already in
Long story short - love the game, love the main characters, can't wait for the uptades. Take my money and make this cowgirl bigger.
(ó﹏ò｡)
Please remove some features and have fewer weight stages.
ᴵ ᵈᵒⁿ'ᵗ ʷᵃⁿᵗ ˡᶦᵗᵗˡᵉ ᶜᵒʷᵉ ᵗᵒ ᵈᶦᵉ
you are cowardly.
from now on any updates will go DIRECTLY to users who want cowe to live (real) (if i find anyone sharing the game with edikiti i will take cowe out the back and tell her to look at the bunnies)
WOW! This is the best WG game I've ever played, I support them so much and I hope they keep it up ❤️ and approximately when will they update? I can't wait any longer 😁
please make same types of stickers from the machine limited to 3, as there are only 3 sticker slots instead of just getting the same old common stickers all the time. either that or maybe make a way to sell them
I would like to ask you to add more maximum weight Please
cowe -1 >:)
I wonder if the game would have more story gallery or if it's already there. When the character gains weight to 600, a huge percentage appears, implying that the game is now just in a loop and that some update will continue the story.
Since I've unlocked EVERYTHING.
The dish disabling system is bugged it works when on shift so you can disable it but not order it. But only the food items are affected so the toppings work like normal.
Huh, weird how nobody caught that. Fixed. Uploading now
Can your team make more wg stages for this game please ?
every time you make a message saying "update pls" or "can u do more stuff" when we do update takes 1 year off little cowe's lifespan
just thought u should know
It's so sadly, i don't know (
update pls and add beer >:)
cowe has gone into cardiac arrest and died.
Perished rather quickly too due to said arrest. at least it was somewhat painless
good.
no way we're canon to the hhc-verse
How do I reach the gallery?
It's in the bedroom
Okay, thanks!
This game is a blessing! Thanks a lot, you make our gaming so wonderful <3
new version compatible with old saves?
yes indeed
thank you
