Hey! Unfortunately, Born to Breed doesn't really have any proper pregnancy art, though it does have quite a few mentions and implications later on.
I did intend for the NSFW focus to be more on impregnation, pregnancy, etc. but development took some unexpected turns, and we ended up not being able to fit it into the game's story.
I hope you enjoy Born to Breed regardless, though. I'm always happy to hear what people think, so by all means, let me know!

After I'm done with Born to Breed I might get Sci-Futa when money allows, which shouldn't be too long given the price, I'm just hoping that sale doesn't end 'on'' the 5th but if it does then I'll get it on the 9th >w<
on a side note going back to what we were talking about earlier, knowing what you do now with these games under your belt, would making a Pregnancy themed game be possible? something like Sci-Futa or Born to Breed, but with Pregnancy being the central focus if other aspects of the story were what made it unfeasible in the past? or what were the factors involved that made you take it out of Born to Breed? "scope" wouldn't be the right word for me, but I can see that it would have made the game a fair bit longer were it implemented into Born to Breed, so time constraints and/or Budgeting would have made the project take far longer than you would have wanted, to say nothing of the VA's and the additional work they'd have to do...
Well, right now, we're putting most of our focus into Benefitship: The Hallowed Wiener, the sequel to Benefitship.
I'm honestly not opposed to doing something more pregnancy themed, but there are some difficulties.
1. I always try to make our games more than just porn, which might seem a little silly, but I do try to have genuinely likeable characters and relationships, and some sort of story. As you might expect, making something where multiple people are actively pregnant (especially if it's done by 1 central protagonist) requires some leaps in logic and some rather unusual relationships or situations, which makes it a bit harder to create characters that feel genuine, to some degree.
2. Outside of NSFW visual novels, I'm also working on a small SFW game (plus I have a full-time job), so I have to be kinda careful about how I manage my time.
3. Finding a stable artist. This is arguably the most difficult of the 3, actually. You'd be surprised how difficult it is to find not just a skilled artist, but also one that can stick with a longer project and deliver at reasonable speeds.
I'll definitely put something pregnancy-themed down as a thought, but unless I happen to come up with a good set of characters and an interesting scenario to put them in, there's no guarantee it'll go anywhere. Maybe if I end up with more time on my hands than expected?
Also, a quick side note: It's actually one VA. All the characters are voiced by KittenVox/KittNevada.
Oh for sure ^w^ Not wanting you to drop your current project >w<' I might give Benefitship a took-see in a bit, but for now let's see what I can say on the points you brought up :3
1. That's not silly at all, Honestly It's not only refreshing, but also makes the sex scenes more impactful as there is meaning, purpose, and Context surrounding it on top of it having story significance in the sense that it's mentioned to have happened at least once, or is brought up more than that when it might help another character out. Yeah I can see that, though in Born to Breeds case the concept of the Permalust would have served as a logical reasoning, and if character relationship dynamics are established with the Central Protagonist present and aware and with all parties in agreement, then It shouldn't be that much of a leap personally xp
2. Yeah~ Time Management is really important, especially to prevent yourself from burning out or getting sick, so that's a point I completely agree on.
3. That... yeah... in addition to the above, finding someone who won't make the process even more taxing, as well as finding someone willing to draw a consistent style in time and on time would indeed be the most strenuous aspect.
As for the last bit, I do have some Ideas how it might work, and can tell you about them, Workshop them a bit I guess >w< then maybe it might become something much farther down the line if you think the Idea is feasible and/or doable with the 3 points taken into account :3
I'm always happy to hear thoughts, so by all means, go right ahead! Do note that I can't make any guarantees. though!
As for point #1, this is actually also one of the reasons why I originally considered Born to Breed a good fit for pregnancy/impregnation content, as you might see later in the story.
The main reasons why it wasn't as prevalent in the end was due to the overall length of development for it, the fact that the artist stopped doing art full-time (which would've slowed development further), and the overall structure of the story and the characters' relationships, which made it surprisingly hard to fit in any actual pregnancies, since anything noteworthy there would have required an in-universe timeline of several months to see "results," so to speak.
I hope you give Benefitship a go, if you haven't. It's my personal favorite (although some of my writing decisions weren't perfect) and I think the sequel is the best we're producing so far. There's a demo for that coming out this February.
The Idea for This pregnancy piece would take the general Idea of "What if egg layers laid a clutch of unfertilized eggs every month or 2 with fertilized clutches taking longer" This way we'd have a basis for having characters with big swollen bellies in a way that wouldn't be too big a stretch, mostly if it's a common thing in the setting, so that way wither you go the Born to Breed/Sci-Futa route or the Benefitship route in terms of how many girls the Central Protagonist gets with, it'd still be a common scene to see in the setting to not need to think too hard on relationship dynamics that would be believable if what you and/or the player just wants to see a lot of swollen bellies >w<
And I figured that was the reason >w<' with the level of detail in the art and animations along with the voice work, more may have had to have been sacrificed were the original plan implemented to keep to whatever budget or time constraint you set for yourself so that the game would come out when it did. And I can see how trying to stretch the stories timeline over the span of 7-9 months for even just one of the girls would have been a narrative nightmare especially if the events of the story are time sensitive to where the wait wouldn't make sense. And I'll have to see how it ends before I say "well there's always a sequel" as that depends on if the ending to the first game would allow for the possibility as well as if there'd be enough context to form a solid narrative around, So I won't suggest that.
And I'm heavily considering it, if the first one has a Demo then I'll go nab that and give it a look-see to see if the single pairing will bring enough variety in content for me to consider the purchase, chances are I might just buy it anyway to support you, but as to how much I'll play it I'll have to see as currently the main appeal of Born to Breed and, by the looks so far, Sci-Futa is it's cast of characters that the Central Protagonist can get with. But I have faith in your skills as a writer to make the single pairing really enjoyable and make me want to keep coming back for more 6w^
Thank you so much! Benefitship has a demo, so by all means, give it a go! Benefitship 2 does also introduce an additional character, so the cast does expand a bit, if variety is your concern. But whether you decide to buy Benefitship and/or Sci-Futa or neither, I hope you enjoy the rest of Born to Breed. By all means, let me know what you think if/when you finish it!
The idea of shortening pregnancy terms via in-universe lore isn't a bad idea! I'll definitely make a note of that for if/when I'm looking to develop something after Benefitship 2. More impregnation/pregnancy-heavy content definitely isn't something I'd mind exploring, though I tend to let the basis for my stories and characters come naturally, since that tends to make for things I can enjoy sticking with for longer. Anyway, as before, no guarantees, but I will absolutely add it to my list of concept ideas.
I shall indeed enjoy the rest of Born to Breed ^w^
Also one of the reasons I brought up Egg-Layers in particular is that could also be something we could see in a future project :3 the aspect of the Unfertilized egg could allow for some fun content surrounding that as well :3 and to be sure I also enjoy the journey as much as I do the end of it ^w^ There are a couple Japanese made Hentai games that use a developing pregnancy of the Central Protagonists partner as the basis, though these tend to be more wholesome games with some sex in them rather than having sex for sex' sake, so I know the concept is proven, but as to whether or not you'd find that to serve as a solid Skeleton to build a fun narrative structure off of would be up to your consideration, though I can see that as something that could work if the narrative focus remains on the MC and a singular partner like in Benefitship, or if that would only serve as a limiting factor.
