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