ProjectBrood devlog 1: Taking Accountability

Hej! Me again!

The reception from the last update has been amazing and its great to see that there are still so many people interested in the project.

And as such, I figured that as to keep myself accountable and so you can know how game development is going, I'm going to start doing devlogs. I'm hoping that I could write one once per week, but if that isn't possible I will make sure the you will get one once per month if progress becomes slow.

So this is what has been going in this last two months:

New Surrogate: Rhodia

Coming soon (1 week) to a space station near you! Just like Luci she will be hireable from the office when she arrives next update.

Unlike Luci who is somewhat shy, Rhodia is outgoing and somewhat tomboy-ish, and her surrogacies are more prone to be bottom heavy.

Lab Research

So far your job as a doctors assitant has to be pumping these surrogates with fertility boosting supliments. But as a part of the job isn't just to make large surrogaces and to produce babies, its also to take care of the surrogates. So far hunger is the only stat that can affect mood, but coming next update when the surrogates reach larger sizes, the harder it will be for them do handle them without aid, so for you to help them you can research tech that can solve various problems that might occur from large pregnancies. Expect roughly at the same time as Rhodia.

Activities

While working at the station is fine and all, that can't surely be the only thing you and the surrogates are doing there, you practially live there! After time the surrogates will have the desire to do some kind of activity, these activies will be random events that might give you good or bad outcomes, depending on what you do. All surrogates will have the exercise activity (vital for a healthy pregnancy!) but they will also have their own hobbies that you can partake in helping in:

Jess: Is a streamer that plays various vid-games

Luci: Enjoys designing fashion for herself and others

Rhodia: Is quite the gearhead and enjoys tinkering with starship speeders

Future Surrogates will also have their own hobbies aswell

So these are the things that are being actively developed, Coming up in the pipeline is also:

• Chatting with the surrogates and staff (Get to know the people around the station, might even find out some interesting stuff)
• Surrogate to Surrogate interaction (Surrogates can form bonds and perhaps even partake in each other hobbies)
• Check up activity (Allows you to see how many you are expecting, various info about the surrogates species allows the surrogate to interact with Dr Zyga)
• Massage activity (Help ease tension the surrogate may have)
• Milking activity (Help the surrogate produce milk for the incoming children)
• Save function (Self explanitory, game has been small enough so far where its not needed but it have to be done eventually)
• Dungeon crawling (huh?)
• More surrogates (Of course)

I've also been getting a lot of good feedback from the last update on good possible future features that the game might have, these are things that have peaked my interest but can't promise to show up immediately:

• More food + more interation for the feeding minigame
• Clothing options
• Room decoration
• Nudity
• Showing birth ("now draw her giving birth")
• Other Activites that the player can do
• Other shop upgrades

If theres anything else that you would like to see in the game let me know, I can't promise that I will implement it but I'll definetly see it.

Thats all for now, happy holidays everyone and I'll report back next week (or month, whatever comes first)
