Pregnancy and some other polishing

I think most people who enable the option are in agreement that pregnancy could use a bit more depth than just being on a ticking clock until you faint.

So I've finally managed to devise a system I'm happy with, which allows for the game to continue without it getting super weird (well, depending on what you find weird!)

So, when it's time to give birth, the game will look for potential fathers - that is anyone who donated their DNA to your noble cause before you became pregnant.

The game will try and find an alive father - if there is one. If it finds one, and you're not in the correct region, you'll keel over with contractions. This will happen with relative regularity to encourage you to return and find the father. If you are in the right region, you will give birth and the father will appear as if by magic to deliver the baby. The baby then disappears as far as you're concerned, but the father will act very differently towards you now, you're the mother of his child!

If there are no alive humanoid fathers, it checks for other potential fathers. This includes sex dolls, tentacle monsters, insemination traps (which don't exist yet :-P), etc.  Depending on your fetish choices, these may cause you to spawn a new monster of that type into the world, lay eggs, or just faint.

In other news, I've got some cool varying text now for common words. The text varies between several synonyms and is significantly influenced by bimbo level. So what the game may sometimes describe as "seminal fluid" at the start of the game, may be called "yummy man juice" towards the end.

And in other other news, the source text just hit 200 000 words! Woo!

  1. Hmhh... I wonder if "acting differently" means being non-hostile.
    (As long as you don't bring up relationship issues ofc...)
    But I guess staying hostile with different actions and text is also worthwhile...
    I'm saying this because there is a functional battle system in place but friendly NPCs usually "need" extra interactions to make them more interesting than a moving object that isn't trying to constantly rape you...

    One last thing I'm wondering about: the fairy.
    Does she have her "own" semen as well? (Not necessarily biological)
    If not I think it would also be interesting for her to randomize the semen she's filling you with. It would make finding the "real" father a bit more challenging though...

    1. I have this superpower to remember stuff I'd like to write soon after finishing my posts...
      1. Will the character be able to become pregnant from the minotaur?
      This isn't so much a question of getting minotaur-cum in the womb as staying conscious throughout the ordeal.

      2. It might be interesting to change the title when giving birth.
      Example: Adventurer -> Mother
      It could then change based on the number of births.

      In the end I'm not sure if it can be combined well enough with the other titles.
      It could be added to the "examine" text alternatively.
      Example: "You are the proud mother of [children]."
      In short: I'd like a way to keep "track" of children without having to visit/find the specific father. It should be reasonable enough for the character to remember what she gave birth to...
      (I'm also fine with tying it to a minimum int requirement if necessary)

    2. How they act will vary. The guard for example will defend you from others but still want some action himself occasionally. The shopkeeper may let you take things for free.

      The minotaur will go for your pussy and attempt to breed you if specific conditions are met when he gets to making that choice.

      At the moment I plan to track how many times you've given birth but tracking and doing something meaningful with specific offspring would be surprisingly annoying to code.

    3. Remember, you can play a male and get raped in the ass, and the minotaur is the end boss/exit. You can't get pregnant and give anal-birth(well, except for monster eggs), but you can get an over-inflated belly. That reminds me, not only do I think we can add bigger bellies(you get so big your belly lifts you off the ground and traps you in place, even if you have maxed-out strength, until you give birth), but you know that the real person who is the male character image(bailey jay) also has a lot of different wigs for her hair color, and has a few cum-blasted facial images.

      There was a program for adding facial-cum to an image without going through 30 steps and filters in photoshop(I forget what it was called, but it looked good.). It would be useful for reusing images without too much work. If anyone remembers what it was called, that would be great. Now that I remember it, I want to play with it again.

      After mother(I kinda disagree with this idea, but only a very little bit), do we get the label "brood mother" if we give birth 8-10 separate times?

      Also, the timer/money runs out too fast.

    5. Could be... I'll look it up and try it out.

      I just realized my post(Anonymous17 February 2014 07:50) was a little disjointed, sorry. When I wrote it, I was trying to reply to the person before Aika while waiting for a friend to run me to the hospital. It turns out I tore some back muscles when I fell down shoveling snow, LOL.

    7. I second the request for obnoxiously large bellies (with the right option selected).

      One of my favorite losses so far was when I got breasts and belly both at full size, along with cursed heels. I couldn't crawl and just wad to wait in place. Just my luck, there was a guard wandering nearby who would constantly 'relieve my thirst' and also make sure my belly stayed inflated.

      I want more of this.

      I tried it with several pics, and no matter how careful I was, I couldn't make it look good. No, the program I'm talking about was more of a "cum pencil" instead of a "cum squirt-gun"

  2. My dick has left me.
    It is rioting in the streets.

  3. we aren't going to have to worry about the children hunting us down and raping us, are we?

  4. Seemingly best place to put this, but can you have maxed raw stats appear in yellow? It can be somewhat difficult when you've managed to overfarm a stat and can't tell if it's complete or not.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Or maybe like with all (I think) other stats.
      Notify the player when it isn't possible to increase the stat further.
      E.g.: the game tells you that your boobs can't grow further when you've reached the limit.

  5. how do you release the minotaur form his cage?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Somewhere on the same level there's a lever to pull, it's specific location is chosen at random. That opens the cage. Be aware of impending battle and possible explosive rape cumflation.

      Delete
    2. so I keep my eye out for a lever? and just pull it right?

      Delete
    3. Yes. The lever is in the "room description". Then the minotaur becomes a wandering monster. You are supposed to fight it, but I never did. I always used the minotaur to become a cumflated bimbo-balloon.

      Delete
    4. To be precise: It's always in the same room (I think it's something like the guard bedroom), but due to the game randomizing the room layout with each dungeon reset it's basically the same.
      (Save for the fact that rooms aren't placed 100% randomly and different rooms have to meet different criteria)

    I would like to know if the editor saves for the game. And it is interesting, but annoying to seek out a certain object through a bunch of saving \ loading.

    You can save with the editor and load your savefil each time the same way "undo" can be used currently.
    The reason it is being removed is that "undo" is done far too "easily" (typing 4 letters and hitting enter) which invites far too much abuse for a test command.
    Though... I'll definitely stop here... don't want to bring THAT discussion back.

    I meant that I could not quickly find the right clothes. Nelya whether to increase the chance of the type of clothing for BDSM. And add equipable plug\dildo.

    1. Finally figured out that my post was only copied in the midst of your post.
      Random question: Why is my name "Yorekani17"?
      Now that I identifed my post as "quote" I'll try to clear up the misunderstandings.

      Latex plug panties are equippable. Use the "wear" command.
      I'm not sure what you mean by equippable dildo. There is a squirt dildo in the game which is used as a drinking vessel. There are also dildo traps in some rooms.
      If you want a different item to be in the game you should probably message aika personally so that you two can work out the details.

      BDSM clothing is rather "easy" to obtain. You just need to enable the fetish in the beginning of the game. You start the game wearing the "full" set. If you happen to get rid of one piece a new one will materialize some time later if you don't replace it with other clothing items.
      Regarding undo:
      Short: "undo" is a debug command to be used for testing purposes only.

      Long:
      Saves are "usually" used to either take a break and resume the game at a later point.
      Most people will save before an "important boss battle" in a game. (well in RPGs i guess)
      Some people will save before a boss battle and reload until they get a specific item drop.
      The last one is considered "savescumming" by most people.
      It basically means repeating a game scenario often enough to manipulate chance-based triggers in your favor.
      "undo" makes savescumming incredibly easy/fast because it only requires pressing 5 keys.
      The savesystem is more impractical in that regard.
      The "undo" command is designed for "savescumming" because that's required if you need to test low/rare chances quickly. Example:
      Someone reports a bug that double penetration for the tentacle monster scene doesn't work properly.
      Instead of restarting/reloading the game each time aika should be able to quickly proc the double penetration scenario to find out what's wrong.
