So, the "Implementing Mpreg" thread kind of crashed and burned, but what I took away from it is that there's a legitimate interest in adding the option for "Male" (non-vagina'd) Steeles to get pregnant by the NPCs who don't just stuff eggs up the fundament. Since there's been no rumblings of anyone trying to implement this option, and the recent announcement of Zephyr impregnation of Steeles caught my attention, I want to try my hand at giving this project life.
I have the rough outline for how this project is going to work. I come to this forum for feedback on the plan, to address any lore issues and, my biggest issue, to understand what parsers I'm going to need to invoke in order to actually write this up.
The basic idea is simple: Much like the JoyCo emails, the player will receive an email from Tamani-Corp asking for volunteers to undergo a new experimental "deep modding" process and offering cash incentives. I don't know how emails are made to proc, but this could either be automatic, or chance-based with higher odds for feminine PCs.
I also need help coming up with a name for this mod, incidentally.
This unlocks a new option when speaking to Lerris. He'll explain that it's an experimental feature intended to create an anal womb; however, this prototype version doesn't function if a character already has a vagina - this will free Fenoxo (and myself) from trying to wrangle the coding nightmare of "what happens if you have a pussy and an asswomb and get pregnant simultaneously"*.
* I'm really not caught up with the game's code, so this actually might be less of a problem than I'm anticipating, I don't know.
Because this is an experimental mod that Tamani-Corp is testing, it isn't expensive - in fact, Lerris will actually pay the PC for being a volunteer. The mod will be administered on sight once the player confirms they're willing; Tamani-Corp procedure to ensure the volunteer won't go and try to reverse-engineer the mod themselves, or sell it to the competition.
Because of this mod's status as a "deep" mod, it can't just be modded out of the player. There is a "deactivate" inoculation, which will turn it off, but the player will need to come and see Lerris again to get it, and they'll have to refund the money they were given for volunteering.
Not decided yet if it should be possible to turn the mod on and off, or if it's a once-off thing; you turn it off again, then you can't ever get butt pregnant.
The mod's effects manifest as a perk, which has a simple effect: receiving anal sex can trigger an impregnation chance in the same way as vaginal sex. Hopefully, that won't be too hard to code in. I am willing to work with interested NPC writers to generate specific birthing scenes for "male-births", but the standard birth scenes should probably work as-is.
Now that I think about it, there are some possibilities for secondary mods that could have similar effects. For example, perhaps one mod could increase the player's ass elasticity, at a side-effect that femininity (and, to a much lesser extent, ass & hip size) gains are more likely/increased. Another mod could cause the player to experience notable cock growth, ball growth (if any) and cum production growth whilst pregnant. But, these are mere idle thoughts; the meat of this project is above.
So, does this seem like a solid idea? If I were to write it, would folks be interested in helping me code it so Fenoxo might conceivably implement it into the game?
