Brief Update on Build 0.4.14

Hi everyone ^_^

This week I'm starting work on a build I've been looking forward to for about 3 years now, the pregnancy build! Yes, finally, after promising it back during July as my gift to myself for the 3rd year anniversary, I'll be adding pregnancy into the game. As such, other planned content that was left over to do from the last build will be postponed until the build after this.

In terms of pregnancy there's a lot to explain. For starters, the players who select to have pregnancy within their game will have the starting difficulty option to have their character be permanently fertile, so pregnancy will be almost unavoidable. For everyone else, you'll either have to opt in to becoming fertile, or will have to get the ability to be pregnant forced upon you. Pregnancy, like lactation, will be a complex system where players have a fertility stat that determines the likelihood of becoming pregnant, a pregnancy speed stat that determines how quickly your pregnancy progresses, and a multiple birth chance stat that determines the likelihood of you having more children within a pregnancy.

There's a lot to go over, from pregnancy interacting with the lactation content, to a separate virility system for players with balls and a penis who will be able to knock up specific NPC's, to purchasable stat boosters for the pregnancy content, the pregnancy-related job (male and female), and the pregnancy skill/training ... but, well, that's a lot to cover XD

In the plans below there's a lot more detail to the various things I'll be working on, but I'm sure given the complexity of this project there will be at least something missed out. As for the estimated build time, I'm not entirely sure, but as I'll be building the pregnancy content a part at a time theoretically I should be able to deliver it far more quickly than the last few builds (hopefully). 

So, without further ado, the plans for the build are;

• Pregnancy - The ability to get pregnant and impregnate will be added to the game. Players will (usually) need to talk to a new NPC Monica to opt into becoming fertile/virile, allowing them to become pregnant or impregnate others. When pregnant players will slowly notice over time their belly expand, with the pregnancy not being noticeable at first, and in the later stages of pregnancy players will lose one of their energy/actions for the duration to simulate pregnancy related limitations on the body. Typically, it should take about a week to 10 days to give birth without booting pregnancy speed, with players being able to give birth to multiple children possibly. Upon giving birth, players will be given the option to keep the child or sell it to the adoption services within the facility, kept children being cared for at the new nursery.
• Fertility - Players with a vagina will be able to become fertile through the new pregnancy content, after which they will have a fertility stat. The fertility stat determines the player's percentage chance of becoming pregnant each time their vagina is cummed in. Players start with a base fertility of 10, which increases by 3 for each level of hip size, by 5 for each level of pregnancy skill (more on that later), by 10 if they are lactating, by up to 30 from fertility boosters (more on that later too), and by 10 if they're in heat from sex addiction. In the future I do have plans to add a special trait based on having multiple pregnancies that increases pregnancy traits even further, but those are the bonuses for now.
• Virility - Players with a penis will also be able to get involved with the pregnancy content, impregnating various NPC's. The player will need to become virile first, after which they will have a chance to impregnate based on their virility score. Virility starts at a base of 10, but increases based on ball size (and less so based on penis size). Boosters can also increase it.
• Fertility & Virility Boosters - Much like with the lactation content, the complex pregnancy stats will also be alterable through biological modifications that the player can buy. In total there will be 12 of these mods, covering 3 levels of boost, in 4 categories. The boosters will be; fertility, virility, pregnancy speed, and multiple pregnancy chance. The boosters will also stack, meaning that it's best to acquire all three if you're maxing out your pregnancy/impregnation ability.
• Always Fertile Mode - Pregnancy (and the ability to impregnate others) currently is largely something that players have to opt into, however, I know that some players prefer to role-play with pregnancy as a risk. That's why I've added in a special new difficulty option 'Always Fertile Mode' where the player is given an un-reverse-able fertility booster during their introduction to the facility.
• Pregnancy Job - A new pregnancy themed job will be added to the game, which will cater to both the male and female side of pregnancy content. Players who have a vagina but aren't pregnant will be able to have sex with a partner looking for a surrogate. Players who a vagina but are pregnant can have sex with a partner who is attracted to pregnant partners. Finally, players with a penis (and who are virile) will be able to have sex with women looking for a stud to impregnate them.
• Pregnancy Clinic Location - A sandbox Pregnancy Clinic location will be added to the medical wing, in which the player will be able to purchase biological modifications that will affect their fertility/virility and the surrounding stats.  
• Nursery Location - Another sandbox Nursery location will also be added to the medical wing, in which the player's children (that they keep) will be taken care of. The player will be able to visit the location to look at, and spend time with, their baby collection.
• Prenatal Training + Pregnancy Skill - A new skill and accompanying training scenes will be added to the game. The pregnancy skill will allow the player to become better accustomed to being pregnant, removing the action-point/energy loss during later stages of pregnancy and increasing the players' fertility (based on them living healthier and taking prescribed health supplements & undergoing special exercises).
• Lactation + Pregnancy Integration - There are a few planned crossovers between the two fetishes (if the player has them both selected). Primarily, later stage pregnancy will cause lactation in the player if they aren't lactating already, and will provide a 25% boost in lactative product production whilst within those later stages of pregnancy. Conversely, lactating will provide a 10 point boost to fertility due to the hormones involved (so 10% chance increase). 

The content that's on hold (probably) until the next build includes;

• Cat-girl job encounters - The cat-girl job is an area of content I love, but ultimately left empty for too long. Last build I added a number of new job encounters to it, but I still have a polled Shadow encounter to add, and probably at least one other encounter to each job tier.
• (Polled) Lollipop cat-girl service - One of the things I added in back when the cat-girl maids were added was a 'special menu' of experiences the player could pay for too, however, up until now none of these were accessible. This update I hope to write the special experience offered by Lollipop where she is a bratty fem-dom and tops from the bottom. There will also be many head pats.
• Permanent piercings - Part of my initial set up for piercings was coding in that they could be locked onto you. This is more for people who want that forced feminization or sex slavery feel to their play-through, but I want to implement ways in which the player can be pierced and unable to remove those piercings (without paying a large fine). For the time being this will take the form of a Chess Man forfeit, an Alice's Experimentation Lab experiment, and an experimental countermeasure to undo the issue.
• (Commissioned) Rachel the snow-fox-girl content - Something I might also work on is Rachel, who can be randomly encountered a couple of times. The rest of the content planned for her includes; two new TF options for the player, a couple of short talking scenes, and a sex scene.

In other news, we have two new monthly polls that will be coming soon very. The community Discord server is now open, with Patreon & SubscribeStar integration/role-rewards coming very soon.

Hope you all are excited, and happy gaming ^_^
