THANK YOU For 6k Downloads & Progress Report

Hello, everyone! It's been quiet since the initial bug fix, so I'm sharing a progress update regarding what I'm working on and what players can expect for the next update.
However, before I get into everything, I wanted to thank everybody for over 6,000 downloads! I am continually amazed by the attention and support this game has received, and I can't express my gratitude enough. Thank you so much for all the positivity and love for the game. I hope to continue to develop something that everybody will continue to join even more!
To say "thank you," here's the art I received for coming in 1st for the Preggo Game Jam!
Now, let's move on to the development side of things!
Dina's Route
The Game Jam version of the game lacked several chunks of dialogue for events and various endings. Those were the first things I wanted to complete on the docket, and I'm happy to announce that I have finished most of them!
Previously, the game had four (4) endings. Now, I've expanded the possibilities to seven (7) endings, with more in the pipeline!
A number of these endings do not involve pursuing building affection with Rory. If you didn't enjoy the yuri aspect between Rory and Dina, this will be your update. There is no way to access Dina's biggest size if you don't build Dina's affection with Rory, but I'm looking into potential alternatives.
Dina's Pregnancy
Another planned feature for the update will allow the players more control over how big Dina gets. Some people aren't fans of hyperpregnancies, and I completely understand that! The current plan on how to implement this control involves:
- Capping Dina's default maximum size to her 2nd standing portrait.
- During the dreaming portion of the daily transition, there would be a new dream to increase this cap to her 3rd standing portrait, then her 4th.
- As such, the hyperpregnancy endings would only be available if the player increase Dina's overall maximum size.
At first, I wanted to incorporate an option into the menu to let players turn off hyperpregnancy content, but I still need to figure out how. In the interim, this feature will allow players to have more control over deciding how big Dina gets in any given playthrough.
Rory's Route
I have also begun working on implementing a route to play as Rory!
Normal pregnancy enjoyers, rejoice. Rory's maximum size won't be bigger than Dina's 2nd stage. However, hyperpregnancy fans needn't worry because there are ways to make Rory even bigger.
That said, the methods to make Rory bigger will be 100% optional.
The plans are to enable players to unlock secrets in Dina's route, which will affect what you can do in Rory's. For example, unlocking Deidra's secret in Dina's route enables players to get the secret ending for Dina and lets Dina have some mischievous fun by giving it to Rory.
There will be other ways to affect Rory (and Dina) in the future, such as giving each one bigger breasts, letting other characters join in on the pregnancy shenanigans, and more.
Final Thoughts
While I have finished many things, I must delay some of them. As you all know, Marrazan is the sole artist for the game. He has a job he has to take care of and Patreon to create content for, so the implementation of Rory's route will be delayed until he's free to make the assets for it.
Other game mechanics are still in progress, including the previously mentioned expansion of the drink-making system and some additional features that I don't want to discuss too much at the moment in case anything gets changed or decided against.
I hope you're all excited for the next update! I can't promise when it will be out, especially since I'm taking the time to redo and organise a lot of sloppy code, but rest assured that it's well underway.
Thank you for reading!

An interesting angle you could take Rory's story would be Dina still getting hyperpregnant meaning you have to take care of her
If I can think of a way to implement it in a way that I'm happy with, I could consider it!
could we spike the city's water supply?
Have you updated the new version now?
The new update isn't out, but I'm hoping it will be soon-ish! It'll be a smaller one to round out all of Dina's endings and add a little more variety.
But would there be a possibility in the future that there exists a male character, with whom Dina can start a relationship with.
Just a thought. Just for more...possibilities.
Cheers! Loved the game so far. Keep it up guys!
There are plans to add affection/relationships with other characters and let the player choose who to pursue!
Nice! :)
It sounds good hope it will work on emulator and good luck with the game
Thanks for the update, boss! No worries about things taking time, it's what things are famous for doing. As long as you work at a comfortable, consistent pace, Bumps & Brews will become a fully fledge 1.0 game in no time at all.
