Pregnancy and offspring (Patreon)

 Hello guys! Hope you're having a fine weekend!

This will be another semi-long post, featuring the most complicated part of the tech overhaul - MoR's new pregnancy framework! 

Screenshot 1: Getting one of your female NPCs pregnant is done through the old-fashioned way - have as much vaginal sex as possible and hope for the best. Choosing a partner with a high "Fertility" score, one of many new 0.8.3 traits, is very important in the Conclude Day calculation script. 

Screenshot 2: There's now a new feature in the household called The Nursery. A successful birth from any female NPC will fill one of the available slots here. There are 18 slots in total - that's the current MoR baby cap. 

• Hover over an offspring's name (screenshot 3) and you'll see his/her target attribute values. Most of them are inherited from the mother. Nannies (and you) can affect those stats further. Beauty cannot be affected - other than by choosing a beautiful NPC to breed with.
• You can appoint any number of nannies.
• Nannies create atmosphere. Their combined mean values decide the total atmosphere attributes that slowly affect kids in the nursery.
• Too many kids will create a negative Focus. Appoint more nannies to counter this. One nanny will be able to take care of 2-3 kids without any serious effects.
• You can affect your younglings through training and playing games. Clicking one of the Action buttons executes a simple event that requires 10 Stamina points and 2h/session.
• A named child that is 9 years old can be Processed through the random NPC framework.

Processing and interacting with offspring

Screenshot 3: I've just added Loren's daughter, Holly, to my household. Don't know why she became an Aesir. Must be a nanny's fault! At least she inherited her mother's beauty. 

Screenshot 4: All kids are based on a random Av-model. Holly became Av102. All Av-kid render archives feature two clothing sets and one armor pic. When reaching the age of 16, an offspring inherits the adult wardrobe, with full options unlocking at the age of 18. 

An offspring can follow you out on adventures, go to the movies, get educated, work and be the subject of household events and experience most other options/actions available for NPCs.

Alright, that's it for today. Check out more screenshots and info on our Discord channel!

Things are moving rapidly in the development department - 0.8.3 pre-Alpha will be out in roughly two weeks! 

Remember that this speedy process wouldn't be possible without you guys. I'm eternally grateful for your continued support and trust in expanding the unique world of Raana.
