Development notes:
1. To the person who initially suggested I remake this in renpy... you told me so. After Unity wiped all my progress AGAIN, I said screw it and started remaking everything in renpy. I had already downloaded it for a little comic thing I tried to make a while back but I had zero knowledge on the program so there was a period where I was just watching tutorials on how to make it do the thing. It was easy enough getting everything remade since the logic was already there and I just had to rework it for python. For those that don't know, python is a super easy language to pick up and if you're ever interested in dipping your toes in programming, I'd start with that. Anyways, this lets me publish to mac and Linux now without any crazy work (I think. I write these as I develop so I haven't actually tried exporting for those...). Also saving is "fixed" since it's just using renpy stuff.
2. Since I swapped to renpy it allowed me to very easily implement variations in dialogue that would've required some extra work in unity. Each stage of every pregnancy size for every action has its own, mostly unique, line of description. That's 264 lines right there, and as someone who struggles with writing... that one hurt. I also put in way more dialogue for well, everything! Birth scenes have their own dialogue, renewals have a little story to them, and so on. Pretty much if I could fit in story or interactions, I did. As I said before, I really struggle with writing and am not the biggest fan of doing it so there's bound to be some overlap on what I wrote. Hopefully it's not too noticeable.
3. This isn't widely used yet, but you can name the MC during the tutorial. I'll try to fit it in where I can going forward though.
4. My ongoing struggle to come up with a UI is still well... ongoing. I did change some things up though and I added icons for shop items so, there's that.
5. I did another round of economy adjustment due to feedback from a questionnaire I put out. I'll continue to adjust this as things get added/removed/changed. The main thing is milking got toned down to what I assume would be more realistic. I also made it so that if you ignore milking for too long then you'll stop producing. You can purchase some lactation drugs to kickstart your production again. I may need to adjust the speed at which this happens but we'll see. Please provide feedback on this if you feel it's too punishing.
6. I didn't even plan on adding in size six on this build but after I finished the core of the rebuild and I was porting over all of the files from Unity to Renpy I found I had already rendered about half of size sixes images so I had to run with it at that point. I also need to redo size one. I keep forgetting that till I package everything up. The hip and breast sizes do not match the rest of the tiers.
7. I was not a fan of the original background for the advertisement image so I did some work and built a somewhat custom environment in daz for the outside of the club. I rendered a day/evening/night version of it each with various activity going on. There's a staple pregnant girl in the corner though. I guess she lives there now. I'll try to add in some variations with future builds but adding a lot of characters like that into a scene is a rough task.
8. I added in some more breakroom interactions. These are pretty easy to do so I'm trying to throw in some more as I can. For those that don't know, it's how you rebuild your confidence if it falls too low.
Final notes: Holy cow... that was some work! This is my first time using renpy so if you notice anything funky, please let me know. Also, I was unable to test the mac/linux builds but theoretically they should work. I hope you enjoy the rebuild!

It will be interesting to see all the changes. Not sure I'll get around to it today, but soonish hopefully.
