This game is marvelous. I enjoyed it enough that I subsequently "purchased" it for $10. Hope that small amount helps inspire future content! If you start a patreon / subscribestar for this, I'm all in :)

I do have some feedback/suggestions, but I want to stress that this is a fantastic effort for a 3 week game jam, so these are more thoughts for possible future content.

Pregnancy integration - right now pregnancy is very nicely integrated with player side mechanics (cards and damage at full bell size), but I would love integration in other ways. Examples could include:

Dialogue that pops up during the fight whenever her belly gets bigger (could also pop up after the fight if that makes things easier on the coding side).
Alternatively, a random piece of dialogue could show up after each encounter based on her current belly size.
I guess I just want to know what she thinks about her belly and hear her reaction to what is happening.
Enemies interacting with the pregnancy through ways other than doing damage (shrinking? growing? appreciating? commenting?)

If you are looking for help with writing (everybody has their strengths), I could put something together for you. No pressure, just an offer of help. Thanks again for the awesome game!

Thank you so much for your support! It means a lot to us. We definitely have tons of plans for this game. We’ve talked about a Patreon and, if we set one up, it’ll likely be after the next free update. Stay tuned!

We definitely have tons of plans for more cards that interact with be pregnancy already designed and are constantly exploring ways to tie the two together. We like having a mix of cards with interesting designs mechanically and interesting designs maternally. But we also have some ideas in the works that could bring them together. As well as other means for the player to interact with it beyond cards.

As for dialogue, we actually planned to have Elra comment on her growing size. We have several lines written for various stages already including some snide comments from the host. We sadly couldn’t fit it into the jam but we are one step ahead of you. There’s also plans for more dialogue in other places as well.

As for the enemies, we have plenty of ideas and plans for the enemies to interact more with your pregnancy. Several of the existing enemies’ behaviors are placeholders right. Expect to see more interactions between the enemies and your belly. And between the enemies and their own in some cases ;)

Once again, thanks for your support. We’re super glad you’re interested in the project. If you’d like to reach out more, feel free to connect on Discord (N-Saint#6484) or Twitter DMs.
