So I thought I'd take a second to respond to some comments:
-Yes, the MC will have a more hands-on role, some of which will be added next update.
-No, there is currently not "pregnancy" in the game. I didn't added the tag myself, and I wasn't planning on adding it. BUT if this is something that a lot of people want, I could add it as an opt-in thing. I'll probably make a poll on Patreon and post a link to it here when and if that happens.
If you do add it, maybe make it something to "research", since you are supposed to be a scientist, maybe allow an experiment that can bypass or solve the reason behind why the embryos are incubated.
-I'm not exactly sure how people asking for incest want it to be incorporated, because technically there's a lot of it. It's there but does it need to be called attention to in some way? How do you want your incest served?
If anything is to change, probably record the parents, but don't explicitly state whats happening is incest, if you do Patreon will be on your ass, and then you'd have to add a system that prevents incestual breeding.
-Yes, I'm planning to animate pretty much all scenes in the next update.
-About commissions: I'm going to have some way of turning down commissions, or decrease/remove the fine, or all of the above next update.
I know my post about it is harsh, but the system currently there destroyed the fun. However...
-About forced progression: Because certain commissions are required for you to progress, they can't be removed. But I can remove the deadline on them. Been thinking about doing it, seems like you guys would be in favor of that.
.. there does need to be something to make it feel like this is a job. Forced progression is fine, they can act as checkpoints that directly or indirectly means new things can be done, which it seems like is how you're leaning anyway.
- About slot space: Have you spoken to P.A.L. about expanding to the 20 cap? The upgrades are expensive if you're just starting out but they become super affordable once you start leveling up your commissions and increase your reward money. If you're planning on keeping a handful of favorites, I have a way in mind that should be coming in either this update or the next.
This is why I said that I was struggling with the whole 5k price, which mostly happened because of my desire to keep favourites. That actually slightly hindered my ability to fulfil comissions as well, which just compounded my frustration towards it all...
Thank you guys for your encouragement and feedback, I'm trying to balance the fun factor with the management factor and it really helps to know how you guys feel about it. If you have an opinion, positive or negative, I want to hear it! Cheers!
