[Pre-Alpha2] Childbirth & Childcare

     

Childbirth & Childcare

    Once you carry your pregnant belly all the way to the 9th month, then you'll be able to give birth and give your unborn child the chance to see the world!

    During the planning phase of this month, you'll have to choose one day to give birth, otherwise, you won't be able to proceed. Be careful though, because the delivery process will be very exhausting for you (-45 stamina). Therefore, be sure to eat and relax a lot this month.

     Once you've given birth, you'll be able to name your child and bring them home. However, the difficult part is just getting started...

    As of Pre-Alpha 2, the mother of the child will have to pay for child support in full, which will be about 100 each month. Additionally, since babysitter isn't implemented yet, they will have to fulfill their childcare responsibilities by themselves each month by selecting 'childcare' activity.

    When you choose to do childcare, your baby's mood will increase based on your 'childcare' skill. Then you can choose to increase their mood further by interacting with them afterward.

    On any day when you don't do childcare, then your baby will be automatically dropped off at the temple, where the priests will use a spell to put them to sleep for the rest of the day. However, the child's mood will take a hit by doing this. And it isn't a good thing at all for their childhood development.

    The game will keep track of how well you take care of your child based on their mood. Therefore, try to keep their mood high by doing childcare activity often and by raising your 'childcare' skill.

    If you do a good job at raising your baby, then they will grow up well into a toddler. A happy toddler is a recipe for a happy child and eventually a responsible adult. Additionally, the better their childhood is, the more they'll listen to you, and the more you'll be able to influence what kind of person they will become.
