Idea: pot bellies, baby bumps, gauntness

-It would be nice to know if other players are about to starve, especially new players. Maybe people could turn a little gray if they were about to starve. Maybe this could apply to only young kids if it's odd for it to apply to everyone. This would happen when there is one bar left.  It's alarming when a person who seemed perfectly happy just drops dead.

-Don't know if it is possible but if women could get a baby bump even if only for 20 seconds before having a kid (though a full min would be ideal) it could lead to some interesting gameplay and fewer babies left in the wood because mommy was on a horse

-Linked to this, and idea I've seen around is that if you eat more pips than what would fill your bar you get a little fat and possibly slow. Thought I'd mention it again since it's also about helping other players to visualize the food bars of others.

Re: Idea: pot bellies, baby bumps, gauntness

i like the baby bump idea but the problem is that's time another player is just waiting to be spawned in, since it would only make sense if the mother has already been assigned the baby, so you have a player having longer login times for no other purpose than to alert the mother a baby is coming. And since it assigns based on yum and warmth, AFAIK there isn't just like a queue that stays the same, it choose the top available mother at that second, doesn't it?

Yeah, this would require making some kind of a mommy que. The bump might not always lead to a kid, or it could end of staying for longer and shorter periods, but even with those flaws it'd be some warning.

maybe when the player is "born" or in their mom's belly they can have the option to quit and get reborn such as a miscarriage this allow players have more control where they want to be and will stop the over production of bones!

maybe when already got a baby and you are infertile, some sprites could change to show it, then turn back when you fertile again

Playing OHOL optimally is like cosplaying a cactus: stand still and don't waste the water.

I was thinking the same thing. The 'baby bump' could just be a visual indicator that you aren't on birth cooldown. Not sure how it would display with clothing, though.
