Getting kids is a separate thing from the main part of the game. That's all done through the Relationships tab of Events. The same way you earn work experience to get a better job (unless you're an A-List Celebrity), you have to go on dates with your significant other. Once you'er married, you can have up to three kids... that is, unless your significant others keep dying. I swear I'm not a murderer.
If you combined this with a touch screen on, let's say, an iPad or the 3DS so people could get some practice drawing the characters, that could be pretty cool. Also, having a recorded person speak the characters to get pronunciation could be a good tool. By all means, keep making games like this and putting them on Kongregate, but this does have some serious potential.
The wiki is at http://caravaneer2.wikia.com/wiki/Caravaneer_2_Wiki Up-vote to keep this alive so people can figure out why they keep dying, why they can't autosave, what to do at "X" point in the story.
This game does have an autosave. After you leave an area and are traveling, click the upper right button titled settings. Near the bottom of the right, click the button next to autosave to enable it. Turning "Pause when entering travel mode" on can also allow you to save without having to "leave" the town you are in.
If you've missed Lois and can not progress in the story, I only know of two options: You can get the Lintu to have you meet with the Drekar and betray the Lintu or you can give up on progressing the storyline. If the second is your choice, you can start a new game or head in the direction of 228 degrees from the Kivi Camp. At a speed of 4.5, it will take more than 5 days to reach the second zone, so I would recommend taking the Drekar path or restarting.
Why are there sp many downrated comments? It's not like this game is hard, so why is everyone hating on the people who can win and the people who can't at the same time? so confused
to get a combo, you have to perform tricks consecutively (Before the text turns green). TO GET TO THE MONKEY: You need to buy the golden shopping kart and the hanglider; if you hang glide for long enough, he'll show up. I found it easier on the monkey boss to avoid the bombs and aim for the bananas at the EXACT right time. try to hit 1 banana back and avoid the rest. Damage on the bosses IS CUMULATIVE ACROSS JUMPS. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS get groupies before you go to fight bosses each will take damage in place of you. It's nice. The football helmet doesn't help in boss fights. To get to the GIANT WORM, buy the Dumpster, rockets4, and Dumpster Dive. If you dive for long enough, you'll enter his cavern. To kill him, just smack the bombs back and keep from tipping over. hth
