So we're looking at a late March release, maybe? I sense this episode will be fairly short and mostly about setting up season 2, ence why Perv made a scene for Lilly to appease us depraved bastards :KEK:
Given how much seems to be done, it wouldn't surprise me if it was out within a week.

IMO a funnier twist would have been the kids being science babies of Nadya and Yve because Agust is not just sterile but his genetic material is so defective it cant be cleaned up to be used to in processes like cytoplasmic transfer. Would certainly partly explain him turning into such an egregious asshat after apparently initially being decent for an imperial aristo.
Would need to explain where Cam's Y chromosome came from, though.

I'd say anything with incest is more likely to be rejected. That's why a lot of games uploaded there have separate patches
nope. sisterly lust has no patch. The only one I know of was the Petal game by Lockheart and that was likely because you could set her age.

They can travel faster than light and genetically engineer sexy space barbarians from outer space. Modifying an X chromosome into a Y isnt beyond the realms of possiblilty.
It is true that nothing is "beyond the realms of possibility" if you apply only handwave sci-fi magic to all situations. It is "within the realm of possibility" that the whole game is the MC being put in a holographic realm and none of it is real, but that would be highly unsatisfying.

Raene's whole story line might disagree with this. Her story would be solved the moment she escaped her father's reach. Yet we clearly see Raene taking some kind of hormone replacement therapy and not gene, let alone whole chromosome, alteration therapy. Modifying existing genes within existing chromosomes is not the same as transforming a chromosome entirely. It's like equating changing a tire on a FORD SUV to even another brand of tire to replacing the whole engine with an engine from a Chevy Impala. Theoretically it is possible, but it would be exponentially more difficult and cause too many issues to be worth the effort. Chaning an X into a Y or a Y into an X isn't just like shifting a little DNA priority about.

The barbarian women are largely handwave sci-fi magic anyway, but they are still fundamentally women and nothing about them is beyond the realm of even natural possibility other than only having daughters (since genetically it is the sperm that carries the determining X or Y needed to set the sex of the offspring). But even that is possible if a bit of genetic virus was given to them, for example, that kills any Y sperm or even fertilized XY eggs, or something like that. In fact, such a virus could naturally happen as well. A Virus that only attacks the Y chromosome has been used in other fiction before.

Changing X to Y after it is set is more akin to changing an apple into a mouse than just altering the existing genetics of a group of women and the eggs they produce in utero. While it is possible that Perv could handwave genetics like handwaving FTL, that is what would be happening, it would be sci-fi magic. Which is fine by me, I honestly don't care about hard science that much in my sci-fi as long as it is consistent within the setting from scene to scene. But that is the issue with this theory as I see it. It doesn't seem to fit the narrative being built, the existing technology of the setting, the internal logic of the setting, the real world applications and realities, or established actions of the characters involved (if you are using this to promote a justification for some theory that Agust is not the MC and girl's dad).

Not sure this is really a valid comparison. To explain Cam as a lesbian science baby, you need some form of in vitro gametogenesis, which is something people are actively working on right now, and a way to edit that one chromosome in the one sperm cell derived from Yve prior to conception, which is more speculative but still seriously considered.

To apply that to an adult trans woman like Raene, you'd be trying to edit every cell in her body for ... actually no particular reason other than appeasing a few weirdos who think those matter. All the relevant structures determined by those genes are already formed so you'd still need HRT and (if she even wants them) surgeries to change those. Lab grown organs with the individual's own genetic makeup would be a much more useful advancement here since it could potentially allow implantation of the correct reproductive system (or at least gonads) and thus eliminate the requirement for lifelong HRT.
