Which means I might have about 6-8 weeks to work on a new game.<\/p>\n<p>No commitment to it yet, it might not happen, but if it does I want to know what I&#8217;m making.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So what do I choose?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>First thing I&#8217;ve already decided is I want there to be new characters.<\/p>\n<p>My last 3 games have all had the emphasis on already existing characters. Crystal and Erica already existed, most of the cast of Photographer 3 already existed. Molly and Marianna may have been new characters to you, but I&#8217;d had both waiting in my runtime for over a year before I started rendering them. Molly was one of the first Genesis 3 characters I created.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Idea 1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A little while ago, Arianeb made her Ariane in paradise game, which was largely inspired by my Miranda game. I was thinking it might be fun to do something inspired by her &#8216;Something&#8217;s in the air&#8217; game. A game where you&#8217;re allowed to go explore the city and see who you can meet and what happens.<\/p>\n<p>I also have a basic premise of Violet becoming Mayor (&#8217;cause why not?), and her first act is to allow one day of the year where all nudity and indecency laws don&#8217;t count. As long as it&#8217;s consensual, you can do anything anywhere.<\/p>\n<p>Basically The Purge, but with sex.<\/p>\n<div id=\"polls-78\" class=\"wp-polls\">\n\t<form id=\"polls_form_78\" class=\"wp-polls-form\" action=\"\/wordpress\/index.php\" method=\"post\">\n\t\t<p style=\"display: none;\"><input type=\"hidden\" id=\"poll_78_nonce\" name=\"wp-polls-nonce\" value=\"ec5b33ebf6\" \/><\/p>\n\t\t<p style=\"display: none;\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"poll_id\" value=\"78\" \/><\/p>\n\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Rate this idea<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"polls-78-ans\" class=\"wp-polls-ans\"><ul class=\"wp-polls-ul\">\n\t\t<li><input type=\"radio\" id=\"poll-answer-320\" name=\"poll_78\" value=\"320\" \/> <label for=\"poll-answer-320\">A<\/label><\/li>\n\t\t<li><input type=\"radio\" id=\"poll-answer-321\" name=\"poll_78\" value=\"321\" \/> <label for=\"poll-answer-321\">B<\/label><\/li>\n\t\t<li><input type=\"radio\" id=\"poll-answer-322\" name=\"poll_78\" value=\"322\" \/> <label for=\"poll-answer-322\">C<\/label><\/li>\n\t\t<\/ul><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><input type=\"button\" name=\"vote\" value=\"   Vote   \" class=\"Buttons\" onclick=\"poll_vote(78);\" \/><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"#ViewPollResults\" onclick=\"poll_result(78); return false;\" title=\"View Results Of This Poll\">View Results<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n\t<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"polls-78-loading\" class=\"wp-polls-loading\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vdategames.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-polls\/images\/loading.gif\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading ...\" title=\"Loading ...\" class=\"wp-polls-image\" \/>&nbsp;Loading ...<\/div>\n\n<p><strong>Idea 2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Road trip! You and three ladies take part in a road trip across the US.<\/p>\n<p>More linear than idea 1, but what I like is that you could get to know the women well as the game progresses. Idea 1 may end up a little superficial when it comes to the relationships.<\/p>\n<p>This idea would also allow for lots of &#8216;naked in nature&#8217; scenarios, which I like. Naked car rides, sex in the woods, desert, by the road.
