Status report on 0.4.3.5

Good morning everyone!

It's been a busy week for me.
I've started with reworks on the scene with Kate in the MC's room at the inn. Implemented them and made more images for transitions that lead to that scene.
The next step was to focus on the actual pregnancy topic. I've thought about a mechanic that would make it easy for me to implement something similar for other women in the future as well as progressing through the stages for Kate.

In more detail: I'm saving information about each woman. If she is at a point where she agrees to have a child with the MC (which will be determined by dialogue choices) she will change to a state where she could get pregnant.
in that state there will be 1 week each month where she has her "save days" and nothing can happen. on the other days there is a chance that she gets pregnant which is increased by the players lust value at the moment of having sex.
In case of Kate she could have sex with a lot of other men. If she agrees to have a child she could also get pregnant by those. The information about who the father is will be stored, but currently I plan to keep it a secret on who the father is in that case. (Maybe in the future I will add some indirect ways where you can find out who the father is if you're unsure)
After the impregnation Kate will inform the MC about her pregnancy and after that it will take another week before signs will show. (The player will get a notification for that). Then it will take a month until Kate gives birth (another notification). If the player doesn't show up until 1 week after Kate gave birth she will give the child away. Otherwise the player can decide what to do about it.

I've worked on new animations for Kate in her pregnant state and also dialogue that lead to the decision of her getting pregnant + reaction & dialogue for the new scenes.
But there is still a lot to do. My plan was to release the first part today at least up to the point where you could see her with big belly and then have sex with her. The giving birth part would then be part of the 0.4.4.0 release.
However as it is right now there are still some things not working out correctly and there is also dialogue unfinished. I will do what I can to fix and finish that today but it is more likely that it will take monday on top to get everything done.

So I hope you will understand and give me the time to polish everything up!
I will keep you updated here and on discord.

For those of you who already finished their work today,
I hope you're having a relaxed weekend!
