Proportion/Pregnancy Gameplay Effects (Discussion) (Patreon)
Content
Hi, I hope everyone is still enjoying their holiday time.
I was implementing some more of the intro scene tonight when I realized that I don't believe I've done a proper discussion on the topic yet, in regards to how these changes to the girls bodies will affect them in the game itself. At least, I don't think we've had a discussion like this. Let me know if I've just forgotten!
So what am I talking about here? Well, mainly in gameplay/combat scenarios. What kind of effect should Tiffany (or other girls) being pregnant have on their abilities or choices/options? Should they have altered stats? Should they be unable to do certain things? Are their specific events that should only be available while they are pregnant?
Keep in mind that there are two stages to pregnancy, so potentially an gameplay effect that increases as the pregnancy stages do?
I assume most people still want to view all of the sex scenes, even while Tiffany is fully pregnant. That's why I am going to be adding those scenes regardless. I don't want players to end up with less content because they allowed their girls to become pregnant and now have to wait for future versions to continue. (except obviously they won't be able to get pregnant again until they give birth).
Same question but for her proportions in general. Should her bigger tits/ass etc come with additional side effects? Decreased or perhaps even increased stats? Special events/scenes? Or should it mostly just be a cosmetic change to the girl's appearances?
I have an idea for v0.08 that I'm working on (Though it's not going to be ready for the beta release) where Tiffany will have a bit of trouble walking around and keeping her balance as she adjusts to her new proportions. But the idea for that was just during the casino stage. By the end of it she will be able to move normally again as she would have gotten used to how her body balances by then. That and being able to choose how Tiffany feels about the current state of her body (which will affect a few lines of dialogue) is all I really had planned in terms of how the game would be affected by Tiffany's increased proportions. The rest just being the obvious cosmetic changes to scenes.
Please let me know your thoughts and ideas for this in the comments below. I'm really curious to get feedback on this sort of thing.
