Really? I read it as a counter to my point... saying that if they want to actually fit the pregnancy fetish, they need to have more Tanya scenes, regardless of her status as an optional LI.

But I've been known to misread things, so if I did so, I apologize. Regardless, I'm trying to take a rational, resources-driven approach, while acknowledging that there are valid reasons for people to want more of Tanya from a story perspective.

I'm not asking for anything.

I AM stating, what, after all this time saying yes to everyone, I would say NO to Tanya, if I ever replayed this, and I am saying why I would.

I am NOT asking for MB to change his course, add this, remove that, or anything else. It is still a game I enjoy, even if a few things would make me choose different things after seeing how they are treated.

It is easy to sit here and say this should be like this, or that should be done this way, or whatever. It is not my time, my effort, my brain cells that are on the line. So, knowing this, I choose to not say what MB has to do, instead, I say, what I WILL do, in face of how he does things.

Peace :(

Ok...and?

My point was just that her optionality makes it a poor bet to spend a lot of time making scenes for her. As the unavoidable LIs become more visibly pregnant, I assume they will, on the other hand, get additinal scenes for those of you with a pregnancy fetish.

But yeah, MB throwing in a Tonya scene every now and then for those of you who like her would be fine with me. I just lump her in with the other optional LIs in not expecting regular scenes, regardless of whether she's the mothhr of our kid or not. That's the game/dev resources part of it vs the story-wise aspect that I think FG is reasonably focusing more on.

Do you think it makes sense for the ENTIRE family except Tanya and the baby to go on a family outing? That they would just leave her alone with a baby in the basement? At that point, she's not family. She's breedstock.

Edit: I think I agree with people that if Tanya was going to be added as a pregnant character and then the mother of your first (potentially two) children, it would have made more sense to NOT have her be optional, and then avoid the whole resources dilemma. Like FG, I would prefer to have otherwise just noped her out of the storyline rather than have her be a non-existent presence in the basement, even if I don't expect any more because of her status as an optional LI.

Agreed.
It would've been nice if it was explained that if opting in on a particular LI during gameplay, that LI would still be secondary to the core LIs and subject to limitations.

Now that I understand that dilemma, I am free to be less critical of Moonbox' choices.

I do feel that putting any potential LI in the story, optional or not, means that a player may find that character interesting enough to pursue and therefore should have enough content in the game to support further development.

That being said, I really don't want to wait 3 years for the next update while our beloved dev cranks out all the optional content that supports Tanya, her kids and all the other LIs we greedy players have chosen to include in our harems. :sneaky:

Yeah, but is that enough? What happens when grandma gets pregnant and has a baby? Will she also disappear into that forbidden nursery void as Tanya has done? I get that -for the sake of this being an adult game- the focus needs to be on the MC's conquests. But, even though it's a harem family, that doesn't mean those who've already been conquered and bred can't join the rest of the family. You see where I'm going with this, right? Step 1: Tanya is visited, but never shown anymore. Step 2: more women get pregnant and are seen briefly, but eventually never again and not invited to family events. Step 3: Grandma gets pregnant and is never seen again and the game becomes "MC's House." I understand that the game's focus and time constraints are important factors. But, you can't make a game about family while ushering members off to solitary confinement as if punished for becoming pregnant. (Well... you can... but hopefully that's all in a different game and not this one. Right?) As long as the MC's children aren't a part of the sexual content, they can still exist and be appreciated by the MC. Until this last update, I was extremely happy to have been playing Grandma's House. (Only quietly dissatisfied by the lack of visual evidence of MC's extended family.) But now, I'm concerned with its direction. I was just thinking of how Elizabeth keeps claiming she was his first... (I don't want to post the rest of that thought as I would hate to spoil anything should the dev and I be thinking the same thing regarding the next update.)

Okay, I'm just going to throw this out there... You need to reacquaint yourself with the Enter key, my man. Walls of text like that are really bad for the readability of your post. :cautious:
