[KT] Time flow and Aging. (Patreon)

Some words about the time flow and characters aging in KT.

The time flow will be controlled by the events. By default, the the time flow is 20x faster than real time. But some events have a fixed duration and no matter what happens during those events, no matter how much real time passed since the begining of the event, the elapsed game time at the end of the event will be the exact event duration. Let's say you character take the bus to go to school. The event duration is fixed to 20 minutes. If the event starts at 8 a.m., it will be 8:20 a.m. at the end of the event no matter what happens during the event. This allows the player to enjoy the event as long as he/she wants and not miss school.

In KT, your character will be able to get pregnant (or get other characters pregnant) and give birth. However, when playing in Story Mode, you'll probably wont have time to see the children growing. You'll have to play in Sandbox Mode (the Story Mode turns into Sandbox Mode when finished).

There will be 2 age stages. The Baby age Stage and the Main age Stage. I don't know yet if there will be a Toddler age stage. The Baby stage is almost identical as the Baby stage in the Sims 3. During the Main Stage, characters age and grow seamlessly from child to elder. But even with a 20x time scale, aging is still really slow. Thats's why there will be an option to set the Aging Multiplier. This setting controls how much characters get older when a day passes. Valid values range from 0 (the default value is 1 like in Story Mode) to 100 (characters get 100 days older when a day passes).

I am a child.

Now, I am a teen.

And now, I am am adult.

This is not obvious when looking at screenshots, but the character grows progressively and seamlessly from child to adult.
