I see a lot of people talking about the pregnancy content and it always makes me kind of chuckle. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for it, but it seems to be in the realms of a very distant future, like years later, seeing as the game is still in the early alpha stage. Let's see the basics of what has to be done for it to work for a moment, shall we?

Parents will need to be fleshed out first, because they'll need to be involved, as well as the campus principal. The clinic content will definitely be expanded, with various tests and counseling. Many accommodations will need to be made for the pregnant student, such as excused absences, extended deadlines for assignments, paid time off from work, online courses/tutoring and reduced workload, and so on.

Overall, the campus needs to be overhauled to support pregnant students as a whole. Then there's the issue of additional housing, maybe a different dorm room and such, financial aid from the university, and maybe local support groups or organizations. A new location for childcare support may need to be added, either on campus or in the town.

I'm not even talking about all the event expansions that professors, advisors, and fellow students will need in order to respond to the player character's pregnancy. And then there's the issue of implementing NPC pregnancy content. It's a lot to deal with, for sure.

I imagine there will have to be certain penalties, like extra education programs and disciplinary actions if you're irresponsible and don't take care of your child enough, or if you get pregnant or get someone pregnant a little too often.

It could also become a monkey paw wish in a way if it's rushed, with a simple event stating that your parents took the child and that you have to pay more to support them, lol.

I'm on board with adding step by step updates to it instead of trying to implement a fully fleshed out system  at once. Birth control, female cycles, and feminine hygiene products could be one update that won't really add pregnancy but prepare more of a backbone for it in the future. I'm thinking along the lines that pregnancy actually should be handled as your monkey paw example until a more fleshed out update can be added later on.  That's what the side content updates are for right?

True, it could serve as a placeholder. I didn't even mention the biological side of things because that's another can of worms. I'm also concerned about the transgender aspect, are trans women really women? Can they conceive or are they sterile? It can be a very divisive topic since the game took the inclusive approach, so it remains to be seen how the author wants to handle it.

i think that's kinda easy to do? in the start maybe the author can add some choices if we are "fully" transitioned, so, if the player is a trans men, they can decide if they still have a womb, if they are taking the female hormone blocker, if they are taking testosterone, etc, so the game can track if the player is *capable* of getting pregnant.


with trans women is very simple too, i guess?? trans women don't have a womb, so, they can't get pregnant and im pretty sure the game won't add a "add a womb" in the clinic bc it is not realistic, does this mean that trans women are not women? absolutely not, they are! we are just talking about the biologic sides <3

also, in real life, if a trans women is taking the testosterone blocker and it is taking the contraceptive, they CAN still experience PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome) or PMT (Premenstrual tension) wich i think it would be really cool to implement! <33
