The Burst Release v0.27 Change Log

Hello everyone, and welcome to the Burst Release!

This release got its name from a rather dramatic addition to the fertility system: the ability to have your stomach literally burst during a hyper pregnancy. Don't worry though, this event should be rather rare, especially if you take advantage of the new 'elasticity' body transformatives such as UteriGrow™.

This has been a rather rough month, with my daughter and wife having some health issues, along with both Besty and I managing to catch a cold. I'm still pretty happy with what we've got accomplished though, which includes a whole bunch of new content. The additions to the Institute SPERM job alone clocks in at 20,000 words along with a bunch of scene images. I've also written 5 new Progenerate Technologies events, mostly related to fertility drugs, though there's also an interesting pre-birth stretching event. Speaking of fertility drugs, a bunch have been added along with the Gestique fertility clinic and spa. Gestation accelerators, elasticity drugs, fertility enhancement, fertility boosters, and even a zygote splitting medication are available. You can also avail yourself of the sauna at Gestique to help heal your unborn children.

We also got a lot of bug fixing done, some other content additions, and we've added the Resort area at Lake Clitea. Besty has also added an early version of the cooking system. You can currently cook a cheeseburger or blini as a trial, but next month you'll be able to make more complex dishes and add your own special "extra ingredients" to the food. Eventually, you'll be able to feed your date that fancy Rotini a la Rohypnol you lovingly crafted, or give your blini a nice sugar-semen glaze. The bug fixing was definitely a big part of our focus, however, as well as implementing some of your suggestions. One example is changing the class times for the various schools. Now they should be a lot more accessible if you wish to raise your skills.

Thanks for your support; we really hope you guys enjoy this release!

• Pregnancy belly size is now calculated for pregnant characters
• Based on the fundal height measurement, for a more accurate estimation of belly size.
• The description of belly size is now part of the character description in the character menu.
• Fundal height and the size of your fetus/s can be found in the character details page.
• Added gestation acceleration functionality to the fertility system.
• Players can now take three accelerant drugs, each of which will shorten their pregnancy. (Amount shortened depends on the drug and whether the player has the rapid gestation mutation.)

• Tea will now tell you when you drink it if it boosted your fertility, or if your current fertility boost is too high to be affected by the tea.
• Added zygote splitting functionality to the fertility system.
• Splitting zygotes is how identical twins happen. Previously all multiple pregnancies were fraternal.

• Added womb elasticity and womb burst functionality to the fertility system.
• It is now possible for the player's belly to burst during a hyper pregnancy, resulting in a bad end.
• This effect should not be unlikely for most players, provided the player has taken the elasticizing treatments if planning on hyper pregnancy.

• Belly burst thresholds will likely need to be adjusted based on player feedback.
