Ren'Py Star Periphery [v0.6.1] [VoidPilgrim]

[Sakyazel]

This is just sophistry. OK, why would women want to be pregnant then? Clearly it's because they (the person + their partner) want to have children, it's as simple as that. Do we know if human futas are capable of pregnancy in this universe? What about aliens? If neither of them can then clearly an alternative reproductive strategy needs to be devised and the more likely target for artificial pregnancy would be the male (femboy) in this scenario since most of the (main) futas in the setting so far seem to play the role of breadwinners (higher ups, business owners, crimelords). The protagonist when it comes to his occupations is at best an odd jobs guy/menial laborer: you stand to lose much more in income with a pergnant futa compared to a pregnant protagonist.

well, humans do have women and futas dont have female organs in this game. In a sci-fi if you want kids and arent naturally capable you could just solve it with technology yes, but that could be entirely outside the body. When you are crawling through vents and shooting pirates or just trying to start an adventurous career working on a spaceship it doesnt really fit the theme. But I guess we could come up with explanations for it.
Other species do it differently, like Pyrpherans reproduce asexually if I got it right involving their plant form or somehting like that.

It's possible but I would imagine the demand for extracorporeal pregnancy (artificial wombs etc.) would be astronomical because as you said; it's more convenient and less tedious. High demand would imply high prices and a tight market: not to mention a place as underdeveloped as PS-X would have to get that tech through smuggling and I would imagine more expensive tech is much harder to get ahold of compared to less sophisticated tech like guns and whatnot. Cheaper options (corporeal pregnancy) that are probably being phased out in more well off areas in the Union is probably PS-X's best shot at retaining a large enough population.

I feel like if you are joining a pirate crew as I think is the case, and the solutions is something you are able to steal, then the prices might not matter as much if you can steal it. Otherwise, you can find someone with access to that tech and is will to offer it in exchange for a trade or a favor, especially way out in space as the setting is. Also, who's to say there's not an undiscovered world with access to such technology?

I realize we are debating over our fictional interpretations but thas fine I do enjoy fleshing out details. I dont take it for a place where many would want a family. Some families will form there naturally but its not a stable place that existed for millenia, so there is no sense in worrying about population. It can double or halve, change fast, people come and go, like some pirate island where people like smugglers mercenaries and those who offer services for them or seek other opportunities go. There is some native/civilian population for sure, because some happened to get pregnant there and stayed for some reason, but its a mining colony turned to anarchy and a lucrative black market. Maybe there are mining families from before independence. The rich there could get the best technology, the poor would have to rely on nature. But you rationalized a sort of middle class solution assuming that would be technologically much simpler and cheaper. It could be imagined even if kinda different from my taste. I just have a hard time imagining a society based on that because we are talking about a minority of a minority. Most males arent femboys (esp. miners) and most femboys arent there to make family. Even most who do, might not be willing to consider that body modification which is alien to their nature over a surrogate. But this latest point could be the opposite, it could be a cultural norm. Still unlikely that will influence the population numbers substantially.

Like I said, just because you practice piracy it doesn't mean you can get your hands on every single thing you could want. Some things are more heavily guarded and restricted compared to say normal commercial ships that carry basic materials. Pirates in real life would love to get their hands on nuclear weapons or other crazy high tech weaponry, but they physically can't because the countries in charge put in a lot of resources to keep them safe. As far as we know, the Union and the mega Lizard empire control/are aware of pretty much most of what goes on in their galaxy(ies?), hard to imagine PS-X of all factions would know of a planet that the big dogs wouldn't know about. And even if they were to know that, it would less be tech and more of an alien species that has its own way of doing things.

I don't disagree that unstable places aren't the best place to raise a family, but empirically, some of the most unstable places in our world today also have some of the highest birth rates in the world. Make of that what you will.

To be clear, I'm not saying the tech is exclusively for the protagonist in this game. I was just applying it because he's the core of the story, but in the broader setting it can be used by futas, masculine men or even women that are infertile. it's just a tool, it's not a prescription for the exclusive use of the protagonist. I'm just trying to answer the initial question which seemed to be: "Why would the protagonist be pregnant in a chaotic setting like this?" and I would say I covered most of the bases for it. I just think it's possible and there are plenty of reasons why it could happen, but I don't necessarily feel one way or the other about it personally.

Pregnant males?

 

[rangerawr]

Wouldn't a pregnant MC imply full feminization conversion? IIRC VP said there will be cosmetic sissification but not extensive body modification. So no prego in the traditional sense. We get cuminflation though, and eggs are an option.

 

[RC-1138 Boss]

Honestly, I don't really want to delve too deeply into the meaning of this world. For me, the more "futa", the better. So, the news that as the story progresses we'll get to know more women and men is bad news. The world is great, and that's important. But such excessive nitpicking over "inconsistencies" is also overkill because, after all, this is an erotic game set in a sci-fi world. But I have one question: does VP mention anything about an alien race similar to Amazons? My curiosity is eating me up, and such a race seems perfect to create in a game like this.

Well Void seems to want considering how much time he spend on world bulding and lore, which i am very happy for. A good story is always welcome. ♥♥♥

Also to the people losing their minds over male pregnancy: as far as i know that is not on Void's list.

and the reasons for it could be summarized (admittedly very broadly) as lack of technology. (food stability,basic medicine etc.)

"Why would the protagonist be pregnant in a chaotic setting like this?" and I would say I covered most of the bases for it. I just think it's possible

Ok you are right in that, I was just clarifying what PSX is like.

But I admit I hate the idea lol.

Pregnant males?

nothing better then a Pregnant femboy

I imagined the first encounter with this beast to be more like this.

Thank you for your efforts

Hi everyone. Am i the only one who hears music in game but nothing else ? no sound at all. I would like to fix this.

There is not much other sound, but there are some like gunshots, slapping, heels clicking, cat meow ,etc. but they are rare.

I've been experimenting with a bit different camera angles for R6 during some scenes. It's mostly about showing a bit more of the characters, including their faces!

Oh, don't worry about that; MC will feel it!

I am aware that the game is rather quiet for now! At some point, I will make a larger sound update that will add both music and sounds. That said, it is not particularly high on the priority list (more content, UI rework, and Steam release are!)
