Im not sure if the bursting mechanic is anywhere in the near future but I have some ideas for it. Maybe in the general store you could buy a pin to purposely pop your own or someone elses belly when inflated to a certain point. You would have 2 options, you could just pop them right then and there, or you could ask and try to convince them to let you pop them. To do so you would need a high likeability and high interest. You would offer to pay medical bills and assure them they would be alright in the end, this method you would make them lose a small amount of likeability and interest. The other method would cause SEVERE loss of likeability and interest. Accidental popping would cause moderate. Maybe yumi, with max interest would give you a new option to have her study you making your belly burst. The reward for doing so would be by her analysing your bursting would permanently be better at treating bursting in all characters, reducing cost and hospital time. Thank you for reading this long comment and I eagerly await future updates.
Thank you for your feedback!
I’m sorry but I’m against the idea of actively forcing bursting (with a pin for example). That’s like intentionally stabbing yourself and cause critical injury. Bursting is implemented due to popular demand, and also as a small reminder that over-inflating in real life could lead to major/life threatening injuries (hence know your limits!). Actively encourage bursting will negate this and send a message that it’s fine to inflate yourself to the point of bursting, which is absolutely not what I want :<
