As long as it's optional, I really don't see a problem with it. Birth control or a separate "Breed" option would allow pregnancy for whatever character you want without requiring you to do it in order to progress certain storylines.
I don't really know why some are making such a big fuss out of that pregnancy thing. As far as I see it DC said that we'll basically get 2 types of pills, the current one that increases the chance to get pregnant (either permanently until you take another pill or for a given time until it returns to a base rate) and one that reduces the chance to get pregnant to zero permanently until you take the other one. So those who don't want to bother with that kind of content (they won't miss anything important anyway) can take the second pill and it's done. While I'm not really happy with the way the whole pregnancy thing is handled (I'd rather see more elborate content for only very few characters) it's a niche fetish which isn't and won't be really relevant for the story anway.
@DrFog you have your answer there, starting in 0.18, you'll have 2 pills, one birth control and the pregnax, birth control negating completely the pregnancy chance until you take some pregnax again (which will add 20% per pill you take up to 40%. Later on, I plan to add a bit of story with Priya and all those chemicals you put in your body, which would most likely lead to a Pregnax v2 that would jumpstart your preggo chance to something like 80%.


summertime saga isn't realistic anyway and i feel what they are doing now is a nice compromise between development time and depth (for the preggo feature)
THANK YOU

Also, if this feature was added because it's a kink, why can't the MC have sex with them when they're pregnant? Seems to me that that's the kink for some people.
Time constraint. We were already behind schedule for 0.17, and didn't have time to add in a pregnancy sex scene with diane. It's planned though, but later.

just have other women tell you it's "safe" to cum inside them.
Most women will have the pregnancy feature. Some will not have it, like Tammy Johnson who takes birth control pills.

Also I want to reiterate that the pregnancy system in place is only in its third version. There is most likely content to be added to it, and it being reworked and improved along the updates. It's not set in stone, just like diane's story wasn't set in stone.

Also, there is no point in complaining about us making new side characters. We'll eventually make stories for them, even if those are way shorter than "big update" characters (like diane, debbie, jenny, roxxy, eve etc), and maybe more in line with the length of the teacher's update/daisy's update. Just fleshing out the stories a bit you know, maybe add one sex scene or two at the end, nothing too fancy.

Honestly, in terms of being used an important plot device, the only characters I can see it being applicable to are Jenny, Roxxy, Mia, and maybe Ronda as getting pregnant could affect her future sports career. Any more than that and I feel like this feature would be too gimmicky.

It's not really meant to be "a plot device" though, let alone an important one. Pregnancy is supposed to be optional and thus there very likely won't ever be serious content "hidden" behind it. You'll get some lines (maybe a few more than now), the pregnant CGs, maybe a sex scene for some characters and that's very likely it.

Excellent answer. In my opinion, the more the better. Pretty much every side character you guys have added so far has had me eagerly looking forward to when we can finally get with them.

@DrFog, personally, I think there will be a lot of butthurt people no matter which way the devs go with the story.
Just sayin'.
Ain't that the god damn truth. Still, I feel like more people would be disappointed if they locked us out of having a baby with Jenny than if they didn't. It just wouldn't make any sense for the devs to deny fans something they want in order to make the story that much more credible. I mean, they already have monster girls, is having a baby with your sister that far fetched? Idk I guess we'll just have to wait and see how they deal with Jenny's baby until the update comes out.

Hey guys, I just want to ask. Has anyone tried opening up the Renpy console in this game? I've been trying to do that to access the save toggle, but I just can't get it to work for some reason. I don't get the same issue with other Renpy games I play, they work just fine.

You need to enable the console at a late init time. Try init 100 or above, it should work.

Having an option to get an abortion is fine, but having it be the only option is just asking for trouble. .
There's just no need to have any abortions at all. Pepople will have the chance to prevent any pregnancy and that's more than enough. MC will be able to take pills to get a child and to not get a child. People seem to forget that SS is a light hearted porn game and there's just not a single reason to even touch that abortion topic, especially since it won't serve a sensible purpose for any story.

Yeah, I agree, abortions are totally unnecessary. We were just discussing how it might be a factor with Jenny, because at the moment, it doesn't seem like she's open to getting pregnant with MC's baby. Also, Jenny's pregnancy is most likely going to be a lot more pivotal than other characters due to her relationship to the MC, so pregnancy might be unavoidable in order to progress her storyline. Holy Bacchus was saying that she should get an abortion, and I said that that would be a terrible idea, because it would ruffle a lot of feathers among fans. If they did add an abortion option, there's no way that it should be the only option.

Sorry, I'm a bit new to this. What does that mean exactly? How can I tell when it's reached that time?
It basically just means a certain init time needs to be met before the console unlocks. I think they did that specifically to deter people from trying to transfer saves and then spamming them with bug reports due to the players not restarting the game like they're supposed to. As for how to set init time, I'm not really sure, I've never had to do it. Try asking in the thread. If you're trying to transfer saves from an earlier version, I would highly recommend not doing so. If you need an up-to-date save for 17.5, here's a for one on their website.

Never said she should but that she could. And if that were the case, the MC would be involved in the process and not left out of it by Jenny.

The save was what I needed. Thanks!
