[Submitted] Makius, the Venarian Doctor Crewmember

Its been about a month, so I'l post an update.
Finished the Codex, Crew and Nursery document, leaving sex, events and the old doc.
I'd say i'm about 1/3 done if I include polish.

This month development has been a little slow, expecting the next month to be the same.
I finished the Tarkus Clinic document, which i forget about in the previous update. This is where Makius starts out, making the project about half finished now.
Since the writer and editor of the project don't seem very active i'l expand the monthly report with some design decisions for people to scrutinize.
I've removed the line about the PC not knowing their cousin and Maki's response to it in the clinc intro. I think the convo still works well without them.
To make the clinic useful despite being old and underfunded i've opted for that the old methods they use, while more expensive, are more targeted. Allowing players to choose what to get rid of.
The talk scenes are inconsistent, with some of them ending with the pc leaving, others with makius asking what to do next. Currently following that in the coding, but seems annoying that some convos get you kicked out of his menu.
Some scenes end with a sex scene without the requirements (pc and makius naked and near a bed) Since I haven't written sex yet I don't know how bad that is, but i've noted where it happens.
I am planning on adding a status effect for when you get bandaged or licked by Makius (or bandaged by his apprentice). This would offset the higher healing cost and would be mobile if Maki is in the crew. Maybe a passive health(bandage) and energy(lick) gain when out of combat?
I've added a sickbay for the ship that can be bought and attached like any other module since makius speaks multiple times about lacking one (and there are some if's that ask if it exists) but I haven't found a scene that actually makes use of it in a big way, so I might have to scrap it if I don't find a reason for it to occupy a ship slot.
I'm currently supporting these image names for Makius:
* MAKIUS
* MAKIUS_BREED
* MAKIUS_PREG1
* MAKIUS_PREG2
* MAKIUS_PREG3
* MAKIUS_FEM
* MAKIUS_FEM_BREED
* MAKIUS_FEM_PREG1
* MAKIUS_FEM_PREG2
* MAKIUS_FEM_PREG3
* MAKIUS_NUDE
* MAKIUS_BREED_NUDE
* MAKIUS_PREG1_NUDE
* MAKIUS_PREG2_NUDE
* MAKIUS_PREG3_NUDE
* MAKIUS_FEM_NUDE
* MAKIUS_FEM_BREED_NUDE
* MAKIUS_FEM_PREG1_NUDE
* MAKIUS_FEM_PREG2_NUDE
* MAKIUS_FEM_PREG3_NUDE
These are the locations I've picked for Makius to show up in: first is the Clinic in Novahome, second his apartment when he is at the nursery and lastly the tile he will show up in at the nursery:

This month I have been contacted by LashCharge who helped me with additional context to the project.
I'm hoping to have all the content in by the end of March so people can playtest it.

Update: Due to the happenings of the last months I haven't been able to complete the sexual scenes. I have however taken the time to debug the rest of the content and sent it to LashCharge for testing and acceptance. I cannot give an ETA for the implementation of the sex scenes right now, but I will try hammering away at it when I have time.
Development on the project has picked up again. Currently I'm aiming for submitting it at the end of this month. I'm not familiar with the speed of reviewing, but I wouldn't hold your breath for it making it in the July public build since the project is pretty big, complex and made by a first timer.
He can already impregnate the PC, he is generally oblivious about it until it actually happens or you ask him to take virility boosters.
I've commited my code and requested a merge. You can view it here.

The reviewing process of entirely new content is put on hold due to the death of flash, so we won't know for a while yet.
In this downtime me and @Lashcharge have been pushing a few tweaks to improve the odds of acceptance.

It's fully coded and pending official implementation as of June 29th, 2020.
