I actually really like this idea, one of the main reasons i love Harvest Moon is the marriage system . being able to have a family in the game just adds to it, it allows you to get more into the game not only are you trying to live on a planet you are also trying to make a life for your family its adds slightly more purpose. But that is just my opinion i know many will not agree with but i personally would love this.
this is a great idea ! you at least have something better to do when u defeat all the bosses (for now) you can take care of your family
The reproduction stuff can be adapted to a general public you know. What about Sims 1? Also there's no need to represent sex or something like that... Starbound is based in some kind of future, so the need of sex could have been totally removed by that age. But anyways, I don't see the reproduction thing for Starbound.
What sex ? Aren't we all clones ? ( or is that vid clip that shows our rebirth after we die in game a lie ? ) As for marriage - only if Gltches can marry their space ships .
I like this idea, it reminds me of harvest moon, and Id be able to populate a whole planet with my progeny. Is Marriage optional? can you have multiple wives?! Same sex marriage?! My fish dudes into some pretty kinky stuff, and its my home planet after all, so dont I get to make the rules?
This is far into the future, so same sex mariages are probably considered normal by them. I personally wouldn't be surprised if inter-species mariage was considered as unusual as same-sex mariage is today. I mean women wearing pants was considered extremely strange in the not-so-distant past.
Just a question, does your spouse have to be the same race as you are? I mean, seriously though, If my character was a human and the spouse was an avian and if they made a child together.... You know what I mean....
I think marriage and reproduction. Yes, it is a kid friendly game, but it's not like they are going to show two people having sex in the back of a car. I feel like the reproduction idea is great. You could have your own little offspring that looks like you and your mate. I think gay marriage should be included because, frankly, I am gay myself. But no, to everyone saying "just marriage because it's for kids" I agree with your opinion, but I feel like even kids would like the idea of having a family on a game like this. Maybe, also as an idea, you could make it so when you're pregnant, you can't do a lot of stuff. Like fighting slower and if you die your baby could possibly die, too. And I feel like if this actually happened it would be just wonderful! But there are always mods. Anyways I feel like this idea would be fantastic and I support it 100%. What do you think?
Maybe the marriage thing could fly with the devs. But maybe to get kids we could do something though a quest such as Apex uses science to develop a child in a testing lab tube, Floran rescues a child from a Agaran egg pod, and Glitch builds a child etc. Instead off the whole "romance" scenario. Also we could get special loot for completing this quest because these would be hard to pull off. One big happy family.
Sounds like a great feature to be added into the game, but maybe this could lead to a mod or something.
I would like to be able to maybe marry a villager or somthin from a town and ust live a happy life, I guess. Like u have to hunt and get food for your spouse and like build a house and maybe even givethem weps? Also maybe you can take them on your spaceship and live on a planet. (i'm good with the mirage thing but reproduction? AW SICK NO!!! Who wants to take care of a child in a game? I know I don't)
Well that kinda raises the question, it's the future for who? I mean the Glitch are stuck in a medieval era, and the Avians a ritualistic Aztec era/culture. The Apex are in a 1984 society, which I don't know the marriage laws of, but I imagine it might be strict. Humans would most likely be fine, not sure on Hylotl and Floran. Again I'm not too clear on the same-sex relationships in these cultures, just saying that might be food for thought.
