What about impregnation of NPC by male MC? Will we see that soon?

I mean already banged the crap out of the dodo, the bunnie girl, I took a risk and got with the boy? In Agora, that half dialogue says he, other half she, yet has a vagina for me, so in my eyes its tiny girl to bone, but still little confused about. I mean in the scenes it reads pussy and no sign of dick yet still says he over and over, I mean maybe he/she is transgender I guess but it was confusing at hell till I took a plunge and decided why not, and started screwing him/her. I kind of expected dick girl, but its not bad not sure if at some point i could dominate him/her and make Abbadon call him/herself a girl. Because as is I am fucking him/her like a tomboy right now :P Basically only input I got right now on current content, minus some but kissing i do love the scene where I try to impregnate Helena can't wait to see more like that. Oh and I play with only Romance, dominate, and incest I checked to see if there was anything doubt there will be for a while. I mostly play dominating romantic in games like this, such as COC were I am not curropt, but enjoy having a harem, and can't lie have done the incest scenes with the harpies and what not. So maybe that is what caused that scene I liked with Helena either way I love the start of this project, can't wait to see what it will be like 6 months form now :p

I vote two weeks I mean I got xmas shopping to do and I found this after I spent 180+ on a single gift this month lol. So yeah I am trying my best to talk myself not supporting till next month, but its hard. But a 2 week patch system with quality not quantity would be a nice way to net people in. I mean I already dump more then I care to on patron every month, and this is the earliest version thing I am watching. And I know full well if I drop cash on this I will keep paying for the next 6 months lol. Use to getting into these things at like .3 or .4 not .11 lol. But please keep up the work, I mean there is so little to this so far, yet I like it, can't wait to see more even if its just one new person a month to put in my castle.

I will try to explain it further into the game! Also add info in the court as a small tutorial. In world in DiCK is low magic, which mean it exists but is barely used, what is more widespread is alchemy. In short, the plague was a catastrophic event that happened when an alchemist experimented with transformation, this went out of control and started to change people all around the island like a disease. It can change the soul/mind of an individual, corrupting him and making him live by his lower instincts, or/and change their body. In theory the MC is special because his body can change into anything, while regular people usually just transform into one thing only. In game time, it happened 5 years before the MC goes into the city, so people is still dealing with the aftermath, although some cities are already getting used/adapted to it. Since losing so much workforce to the plague was detrimental, slavery became an option again and was reinstated. Lastly there are two kinds of people, those with "strong" soul and those with "weak" soul. In general, the people with strong soul are few, and they keep their mind even if they are totally corrupted, so they can still be functional people, while people with weak souls become "Lost" in their desires and instincts. For this reason, only "weak souls" can be enslaved (which means characters like Abbadon are not planned to have a slavery path). About this (weak and strong souls), we are not sure if we should keep it or remove it, because you can enslave more people otherwise... yet, that means we need to do more content :P

I'm having some trouble figuring out exactly what the Plague is and how it affects people. I don't suppose you could go into detail on what it is, or at least what we know of it from the game so far?

Outdx

Yes I can! First the mere basics: If you char has a vagina, and is fertile, there is a chance to get pregnant when there is penetration (we will probably say which scenes allow this), if the char gets pregnant, after 10 days it gaves birth with a small event at the morning. We are working these details right now, so this is still in draft (I will go into this indirectly once the map is done), but first I guess I have to explain a feature that goes before, conquest mode: See, there will be several ways to advance the plot, one of them is by conquering the other cities by force (you can also persuade them to join you, or find other more cunning means to deal with the situation), for this we want to implement several features: The ability to have an army, generals, and automatically generated NPCs/Retainers that can help you to fill positions either in your military or your city. So, all of the code we need to do this (generate NPCs, jobs, etc.) will be used for your kids too, so you can have your family take care of everything, or hire people to do so. The kids you have with followers will be special, not randomly generated, so they will have more content and relevance. We want to give the player a chance to customize them, with name and probaly making the kid a mix from the parents. While they grow up, we want to have small events like in Crusader kings 2, where something happens and you decide what you do in the situation, changing slightly the stats of the kid. Once it grows up into an adult, there will be options to incest among other stuff, and probably slavery will be a choice in certain cases. Follower kids will most likely be immortal, so they can be defeated in battle but they always retreat. while kids that you have with generic NPCs will be like regular retainers

I agree with the others. Having the update be every two weeks will be better. You can play test and add more content in that time.

Can you delve into how pregnancy is going to work? I know about the whole 10 day thing, just wondering how the kid(s) are gonna work. Are they gonna have their own lines and scenes? Will they play any significant role other than for incest (I'm guessing? ^^)? Is the plan to let the player customize them or to automate that process? And most importantly, can you enslave them ;) ?

Outdx

yeah, the current release is stable enough, I will spam a little less too although we will keep working as hard, so maybe up to january I guess (where I hope we will implement even more features, like the cities and combat)

DuoDevelopers

I'm with Winterlook. Until you can get enough patrons to support you with bug finding, I'd even argue to make it every 3-4 weeks. Nobody's gonna come back every two weeks to play this game.

Outdx

Every two week. It will help you fix missed bugs and release more content for every update, that will make it more worth to check out.
