I don't know if she is supposed to but Miracle comes off as being severely mentally handicapped which makes doing anything with her just feel like taking advantage of someone who isn't of sound mind.

At the end of the day, it's your story. You tell the story you feel you need to tell.
Having said that...
pregnancy is just like any other fetish, in that it has its supporters and haters(though surely not to the polarizing degree of some certain fetishes). Adding a fetish with no way to opt out will make some unhappy. Whether you make it an option if Paris gets pregnant, or even the option to not have anything to do with Paris in the first place.
Also, adding it after the game has already been going for a number of updates(without having it listed anywhere as a planned fetish), you can be sure there will be those who cry foul about it being added "after the fact". Especially if Paris is their favorite and they dont like pregnancy.
And sure, there will be those who applaud you for adding it whether it optional or not. They just want it in the game.
Another problem being, if you give an option to avoid it, you now have to make renders for both options with Paris which increases your workload. Unless the option to avoid it is to completely avoid her. Although you would still need to make some different renders for her in the opt out route, just not as many.
so....
yeah...
you do what you gotta do
Just dont be surprised if some people arent a fan of the direction you decide to go
Played chapter 5. Was nice to see Sasha naked but gotta admit that i thought more gonna happen between MC and Sasha on this chapter, like something what happened with Paris at chapter 3 on their first sexual encounter. But well, lets wait more, hopefully not that long anymore. God i still love that girl...

well what i like about sasha and her character is that we are still pretty much in the dark about her.Played chapter 5. Was nice to see Sasha naked
for paris at this point it's quite clear who she is and how her personality and inner workings are going to be mostly.
miracle is also still somewhat grey but sasha is really the one we don't know much about. she is kind of nihilistic at times or at least she appears to be as she doesn't care what people think about her. she just says what comes to her mind without any second thought about any concequences. but i'm sure that she is really a deep ocean that we yet need to see the bottom of as there will be a whole lot between the surface we saw up until now and the bottom of herself that makes her tick the way she does.
I don't think their is a damn thing wrong with Miracle's stutter and I don't think that makes her have a handicap at all honestly. Besides it adds more originality to her character more than most have. Your doing something with this VN most other developers get run off from doing because they listen too much to the negative flow of convo from people. Besides you couldn't make everyone completely happy even if you did give them everything they wanted. People will bitch no matter what happens. I say do what you want with the VN you already have my full support. I would also like to apologize I had a few personal things come up in RL that I had to step out of Patreon for a minute but I will be back soon with my full support again. I just had a slight financial setback at the moment. As far as the pregnancy for Paris is concerned I think you should do whatever you feel is necessary for the story YOU want to tell or what YOU feel it needs its your game and yes it's awesome you ask for our feels and wants on it but its still YOUR work that we are appreciating and being along the ride for. SO again I say do what YOU feel is best.

I kinda have to agree with this, in spite of myself. I want to see the story go the pregnancy route, but since there's no pregnancy tag (or long running promises of how pregnancy would be handled), I'd guess there's more to lose by catering to pregnancy fetishists than not.
For my part, I'll continue to be interested either way.

I personally think stuttering makes Miracle unique, too. Some may call it a handicap, but it's not a mental one. She's in college and very smart. The mental problems are psychological: she has anxiety and the phobia of large crowds. But again, she's plenty sound of mind lol.
And I seriously appreciate all the kind words and support, man. people like you is exactly who I make the game for it and it will continue to do so no matter what =]
I did add the pregnancy tag back in 0.3, but a moderator removed it because there wasn't any actual pregnancy yet lol, just the promise of it. So that's kind of tricky

It isn't a practical possibility IMO. Even if you had all the assets, you might as well be trying to make a counterfeit of the Mona Lisa.
Photoshopping the original renders might be possible, but even that would take serious skill.

as balooneysammich said it's not really a viable option. sure if you are really skilled in photoshop you could try to remove the tattoos and get a somewhat decent result and add those edited pictures back into the game as he suggested.
however rendering them is pretty much creating a new knockoff game at that point. you need all the assets as said before and it takes some SERIOUS horsepower especially a good or multiple good gpus to get a good looking image in a reasonable time so it's nothing to be done on a crappy laptop with intel hd graphics. that's why lots of devs use patreon money and invest it into dedicated rendering machines with 2 highend gpus like 2080 ti's as it speeds up the process significantly. or think about cgi in movies. they often render one frame for weeks to get images that look like real life and are indistinguishable from reality and that is done with state of the art highend workstations! this is also the reason why games can't look that good or at least yet. for a game your gpu needs to render 60 frames (or should) per second.
EDIT: if you really want to try or see where to get started click the forums link to the top left and scroll down to the development and discussion tabs. there you can find both assets and tools and tutorials if you just want to try your hand at it. but keep in mind that even on good hardware renders can take hours depending on the image quality you try to achieve.

That is exactly what I mean, your breaking barriers with Miracle regardless of what others think. I've seen quite a few other VN's lose support just because they tried a unique twist and everyone went bonkers over it so then had to go back and work twice as hard to rewrite that section just because others didn't like how it was going or something along those lines. Therefore no longer making it their story but appeasing the masses. Yes its great you Devs include us and utilize our feedback for some decisions you may struggle with but at the end of the day it's YOUR work not ours. I'm with you whichever way you go and in my opinion you haven't let me down yet if anything your stabiling my faith in you more so. Yes I may sound like I'm blowing smoke up your ass or others may think I'm kissing it but I'm not. I'm simply being honest and stating facts that you may need, want, or don't care to hear. The ball will always be in your court and us true supporters will always be on the sideline cheering you on no matter which way it takes you. Can't wait to see every bit of this masterpiece fall into place as it comes together!!
I personally like pregnancy in these VN's/games, but I feel it should be a choice if added, as it's one of those things that people tend to either like or dislike (like ntr) without much of an inbetween (as has been previously mentioned).
I'd also prefer to have the option to make all love interests pregnant, as we can't be playing favourites, since that could lead to potential conflict .

Thanks for the clarification. Oh, I wasn't expecting it to be like shoved in and integrated half way... but something that wasn't going to be brush upon mostly. Though, I guess that is what it will end up being, as it is a niche fetish.
But It's okay, it still won't deter me from playing your game. I still find it quite interesting and look forward to how the ending will be. Thanks again for informing me of how you'll be implementing pregnancy, though I find myself wanting more as most fans do, I will nonetheless take everything you put out

well for me it's really not breaking barriers. it's simply developing unique characters with more or less relateable personalities for the individual reading the story. and this is what makes characters believeable. humans have flaws and quirks that set us appart and make us unique. and this is what good storytelling is about. to create relateable and intersting characters that are fun to discover and they just aren't if everyone is perfect. sure they can be great at something like in the VN melody where it's well about melody who is a great musician and singer. but she also has problems and flaws. i guess you get my point.
It's true it may not be breaking barriers for everyone but you are right on him creating characters who are more like someone you'd meet in real life or who maybe family members or friends we know with those quirks or flaws. I do get your point that's why I also loved Melody's journey and development.
I have the opposite problem. Pregnancy in an incest scenario kind of makes my skin crawl. Much of the taboo surrounding incest is driven by the increased risk of genetic abnormalities. Wherever possible, I prefer to choose the option that doesn't involve pregnancy.
