My progen gave birth to her second litter today and while the little devils were cute as expected, I must say I was a bit disappointed that it was another two pup litter just like her previous one. And thus, I come here to offer a suggestion: give players some way to control the minimum litter size.
Pros: People will probably enjoy being able to better control their litters, I will not get upsetti
Cons: Inevitable uptick on wolves generated, flooding the site.
There is also the question of how a player would go about doing this. My initial idea would be through some sort of item that could be “applied” to a wolf and would guarantee a minimum number of pups in their next litter. It would probably be easier to implement if the number is predetermined (user will always get at least X pups) but maybe it would be nice if it could be “customized” (user can choose whatever number, even guaranteeing a single pup litter).
This could work nicely as a specialty item worth a good number of Moonstones, I think. However, I understand that it could be percieved as “pay to win” or disadvantageous to F2P users. Alternatively, instead of a purchasable item, I could see it being obtained via crafting (or make it a food instead and have to cook it up?) but designing a recipe and potentially implementing new items for the recipe could be a bit much. I do like it though.
Not sure what else to add, let me know what you all think :>
