08/08 Progress Report

This week’s Dropbox files have been updated. The latest build includes a wide range of content additions, including a new intercourse minigame, wound updates, parasite pregnancy updates, a status infliction system, and more.

This week’s main focus is the new status infliction system. This means that if the protagonist is hurt, impregnated, or infected by the game’s systems, the character will now be affected according to the specific type of damage received. I made sure to add three to four different status types for each category while implementing the system, and I’ll explain each below.

Wound System

I wanted the game to feel more realistic and immersive when the protagonist is attacked by enemies. Now, there is a 20% chance for the player to receive a wound that slightly decreases their stats. Currently, these wounds are physical and temporary, but they stack - meaning that the more wounds you accumulate, the more your stats will drop. In the future, I plan to add mental effects and permanent debuffs/PTSD-like conditions such as insectoid superiority or sublime yearnings.

Tattoos (as shown in the picture) are now also displayed in the wound system, complete with flavor text. In Chapter 2, the tattoo node will be replaced with frontal tattoos, curses, piercings, and various bodily accessory implants, each with their own effects and visual representation.

Parasite System

Parasite pregnancies have been added. Unlike wounds, they have a 50% chance of being inflicted after completing an intercourse minigame. In Chapter 2, certain enemies can impregnate the protagonist with parasites. Each pregnancy is tied to a specific enemy type and cannot be replaced or stacked with pregnancies from other enemies. They will serve as a new source of DNA currency and potential CG scene material in future story updates.

Disease System

The disease system has been implemented but is currently disabled. I originally wanted something more dangerous than a simple wound - for example, space STDs or brain alterations - but decided to leave this as a poll topic since I understand the concept might be challenging for some players.

Poll Results

While the vote isn’t over yet, feminization is currently leading by a large margin. I’d like to tie further changes to the story (such as Kate adding estrogen to the food) without locking them strictly behind story progress. When I update this sequence, I’ll create another poll to hear your preferences.

Dropbox links and polls will be updated shortly after.
