Potential Impregnation "Consequences"

The impregnation mechanic has been a lot of fun to play with so far. The little graphic that appears and the dialog acknowledging it are small details that really add a lot to a scene whenever they happen. 

As good as it already is, it's going to be all the more fun when those naughty consequences are added. Since that is likely going to be a fair bit further on in the development of the game, I thought it would be fun to come up with a couple ideas for how they might work in the meantime.

The most practical way that I could think of to make it work would be to have a pregnant version of the enemy replace them the next time you would encounter them. Doing it this way would allow most of the work done on the regular version of the enemy to simply be copy pasted, but of course changes would need to be made to the art and dialog. 

I think that would work well enough for most enemies, but it would also leave the door open to make a few enemies behave differently when pregnant. For example, maybe an enemy who was initially very hostile would instead no longer want to fight and ask you to stroke their pregnant belly for a while. Maybe the enemy is pissed off that they got pregnant and they behave more aggressively because they want revenge. There's an endless number of ways you could go with it.

A question that has been rolling around in my head is simple, what happens next?  Would you have a chance to find a pregnant or normal girl, as in the enemy pool doubles, or would the pregnant woman over ride their non preg versions?  Would you have to deal with the fact that you're a father now and WAY down the line be locked out of an ending, or would you still be able to do debauchery?  Hell, would there be children as NPC's or as a stat?
Personally, I'm down for however Finchy does it. I just know that I'm going to have check on all the girls I knocked up when the pregnancy update drops, including DLC/Rifts.

I was thinking the pregnant version would overwrite the normal version after you have an encounter where you impregnate them, and then the next time you encounter them they'd be back to normal. 

It'd also be good to have the encounter where they are back to normal mention how they gave birth offscreen. Although, an egg laying scene for a pregnant scalie would be pretty amazing too. (Yes I am shamelessly biased towards scalies lol)

Doing it this way is about the simplest and easiest way to do it that would still feel quite satisfying imo

That being said, I'm sure there's the potential for a much more in depth system here if Finchly thinks it's worth the effort.

Look, you're a degenerate for Scalies, I'm a degenerate for Monsters,  but I can agree that eggs would be the easiest way to show if it were to go that way.

Can I be the Furry one? :3

I don't think I can stop you, the title of degenerate comes free with acceptance of who you are.

I've done some more thinking on how pregnancy could work, and came to the conclusion that it should be a fetish exp with traits. Yes it would mean that you build 3 fetish up when you are trying to be a dad, but read me out.

The only way to get the fetish exp will be with visiting the girl you knocked up, bang her again, and for her to give birth off screen/how ever Finchy wants to handle that. That would give 1 exp to represent 1 baby, and give the first trait of "unplanned father."

What the trait/title gives I'm thinking is more inital arousal when dealing with a pregnant woman (I've maxed out all traits, so when I start a fight it is 36~47 arousal, what I'm asking is 49~62 starting arousal with a maxed father trait,) more enthralling, and maybe lowered "Pent-up" and "Backed-up" threshold for more mother making loads. As it develops, I'm thinking the flags should be at 1 (Unplanned father), 5 (A dad),10 (Farmer mentality) , 20 (baby daddy) , 100 (Repopulater of towns.) 

Obviously, I am not the dev, so it is up to Finchy to thumbs up and do their own thing, thumbs up and copy what he likes, or thumbs down and toss a brick at me.
