MasterPuppet brought to my attention that I should be up front on how I envisioned the pregnancy feature, and that I should give the male/futa players something as well to balance things out between genders. MP is a smart boy and I'm lucky to have him around.
It's gonna be a wall of text so please bear with me. This is a first draft and I'm open to critique of my ideas, as your feedback only helps make the game better : ) Just write how you feel on things in the comments below. Also up front - there'll be no sexual content involving minors in any way. I take great distance from anything as such.
If you play female and get involved in a scene that involves coitus + climax, then there's a you get pregnant (I'll probably add a perk that increases the chance), and with that comes the child of course : ) I've drawn inspiration mechanic-wise from the game "King's Bounty" where you can get kids, but they serve as a random stat increase for the hero. So as the child grows in your character's womb, there'll be rolled for traits for the child at given intervals, and those traits will carry over to improve your starts. That the kid is gifted in some way you could say.
Some traits I've thought of are:
- Healthy: you get a bonus to max hp
- Rowdy: bonus to atk / strength.
- Nerdy: bonus to intelligence
- Energetic: bonus to agility
And so on : ) They'll also be a "normal" trait which values no stat increase, but there'll be not bad traits, because that doesn't sit well with me. I don't want put a negative connotation on the magic of childbirth, which I hope you all will be okay with me. It's just how my gut tells it should be. I'll also do some different graphics for the stages of the pregnancy.
Now, this gives female players a stat advantage to male/futa players, so I'll also add the "Post coitus gamble!". Male and futa player, after a smut scene, can pick a card on the screen, and it can either be a really strong bonus, a decent bonus or a slight debuff. I'm thinking there could also be one really bad debuff, but tell me how you feel on that. These bonus will be globals and last a shorter period compared to the pregnancy stat increase. I'm thinking something like:
- The great nut: +2 to all stats
- Sated: -2 charm enemy attacks against you
- Itchy: -2 to endurance
- Fatigued: - 2 to strength
And so on : ) And you can skip the gamble if you'd rather not.
