Yo, it's me again. The update is really good and increased amount of students(preys) is just wonderful. I also didn't know that there was BE and AE in the first place. I guess with only 3 preys (2 studs and you) it was barely noticeable. After the update I noticed in one of the runs that Bella was different. And I also learned in one of the comments that there always was expansion content. So I was feeding her everything I could and tried to see the difference. After she digested like 3-4 students her ass was BIG. And because her honkers already insanely massive, BE was barely noticeable. But if you keep in mind that green tie that she wears, you will notice that it won't be visible after she digested almost everyone (perhaps a bunch of apples too). Her badonkers just grew so much that the tie is not visible. I also saw a funny thing. After the 4th bell rang, she came after me first and then proceeded to devour every other student. When she was running on the stairs (I hope I said that correctly since English is not my first language), her tits kinda... sticked to her body? Like, they weren't going all over the place as I believe they would've if a person with such milkers will try to run down the stairs without bra irl. I even once saw animation exactly about it. Don't remember the artist tho. I also started seeing crazy apple more frequently which is nice. I tried to make her eat it after she swallowed a student beforehand, but when I hid behind one she just moved around the stud and ate the apple and, I believe, a key too. Perhaps you should do something about her going around the stud and voring you or items? That's if I'm not the only one with such idea ofc.
Maybe you should increase her capacity to 3 people and 1 apple? I feel like just 3 people is rather humble. And I would also try to make her eat 2 preys and a crazy apple to see her shake. I think that would be funny. Or you could make that she will come at you to eat your items even if she already has 2 preys inside. Gonna use that remaining storage space somehow.
As other people mentioned, I think you should decrease the camera shaking when running. You see, we people have neck for a reason. It stabilizes our vision when moving or running. This way the things we see doesn't go up and down when we walk, and when running, our head doesn't shake violently. So perhaps you could look into it?
Personally for me, I think that the idea of not being able to pick items when in chase is kinda stupid. Since the chase goes infinite(or not exactly) until something or someone is swallowed, it would only be reasonable that you would try to grab, say, an apple during chase to give yourself a chance to not be eaten. Yes, you can hide behind a student, but as I mentioned earlier she doesn't always eat the student, but rather run around them and eat you. And a student might not be not too far away from you to try and save yourself.
Also, I noticed that she loses sight of you when you hid behind a stud and she ran around them and you too. I mean that you're moving around the student like Bella does to stay out of her sight. She loses sight of you and goes back into a searching state. If stud stays still, you will be able to go away from her in a direction opposite of the one that she went to. But if that little mothersucker decides to move, you're guaranteed (or I believe so) to get captured.
Also, what is that student select in the settings? Is that a WIP?
In one of your replies you mentioned that you don't plan to further increase the number of studs as that would make the game too easy. I understand your opinion on this subject but still kinda sadge. Perhaps you could do "difficulty modes"? Like in easy mode there will be more students than now currently and some other things to make the game easier. Normal mode is basically how it is now. And hard mode is less preys, less apples and maybe Bella is 5% or so faster? Just an idea tho.
About apples, in my humble opinion minimum amount of apples that can spawn being 2 is too low. Like, imagine exploring the whole map, running around the school opening classrooms to only find 2 apples. Maybe increase it to 4? Or 3? While usually I have around 4-6 apples in my runs, I had a run once where I believe there was only 2 or 3 apples. And I tried to feed her every apple and student in that run. Yeah, that was not poggers.
Also, I noticed that studs and Bella started going into places they weren't going before. Like classrooms, janitors closet, electricity room. Pretty neat. Also makes no place completely Bella-proof. I believe earlier she was only going into bathrooms and auditorium, maybe storage too.
Also I like Bella's current speed. While she's fast when empty (or even more when hungry) I was lucky enough to meet a student and hide behind them. And when I wasn't, I always have apples and keys with me. And man she's so slow when she has 2 preys inside. Sometimes when I tried to make her eat 3 studs, the 3rd stud was going away and Bella just couldn't keep up with me to keep me in her sight. Especially when one of the preys was making an attempt to escape. Then she would often just end the chase and walk away. I had to get her attention then and that was risky, because she doesn't always react to the sound of a key dropping and I could be very close to her after dropping the key and she would the start the chase and almost immediately devour me.
Also, sometimes she tends to swallow you or your items through walls especially in a staircase and bathrooms. I believe the bathroom stalls are non-existent as she just grabs you through one and you didn't even see her. And there's spots on stairs where she can grab you through walls. I'll try to make a screenshot of these spots.
Oh and also in one of the runs, when I was baiting her, she saw me and started the chase, but then ran up the stairs and swallowed someone. And the thing is, the chase stopped but I couldn't pick up any items. And when she started chasing me again, she swallowed my items and I still couldn't pick anything up. Here's the screenshots of that. It looks like I was still in "chased" state when I wasn't actually.
Damn I wrote a whole essay. Sorry if I was yapping.
