I&#8217;d still like to do something substantial this year though, so here&#8217;s the ideas and options:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Maddison Remastered<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been thinking about remasters of my older games recently. I don&#8217;t think anything rendered in IRAY (that&#8217;s anything after Leanna) needs a remaster, but older ones are a good option. Not counting the Photographer series, Maddison was always my most popular game from that era, so how about remastering her game?<\/p>\n<p>The catch with this is that I wouldn&#8217;t be able to remaster the threesomes since Rachel and Kelly don&#8217;t have updated models. I can still have threesomes, but with different characters.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve done some test renders reusing sets from Crystal Part 3. Note that the outfits here are just basic examples, and I would use better ones in the real game.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vdategames.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/store2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3191 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vdategames.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/store2-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vdategames.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/store2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.vdategames.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/store2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.vdategames.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/store2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.vdategames.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/store2.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vdategames.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/store18.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3192 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vdategames.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/store18-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vdategames.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/store18-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.vdategames.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/store18-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.vdategames.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/store18-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.vdategames.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/store18.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vdategames.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/store20.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3193 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vdategames.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/store20-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vdategames.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/store20-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.vdategames.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/store20-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.vdategames.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/store20-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.vdategames.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/store20.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Epilogues 3<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A really obvious options would be concluding my epilogues trilogy. The problem with this is that, people have quite liked the epilogues so far, but I don&#8217;t know if there&#8217;s a lot of enthusiasm for them.<\/p>\n<p>Or am I wrong? Would anyone love to see another epilogues?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Betsy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A follow up\/ending to Betsy&#8217;s story arc is another option. I never felt Betsy was a super popular character though. Plus I still need a lot of building and rebuilding of Betsy, April and Cassandra&#8217;s models to do the game right.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Photographer part 4<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The photographer series has always been my most popular creation. I don&#8217;t like the idea of main characters being used in a new one since most are established as being in a relationship now, but a selection of more &#8216;secondary&#8217; women could work well.<\/p>\n<p>Such as :<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Kristen<\/li>\n<li>Debbie<\/li>\n<li>Two women from Leanna&#8217;s yoga class<\/li>\n<li>Erica<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Let me know any of your thoughts below. Feel free to add your own suggestions, but please no full pitches for game ideas you&#8217;ve had. I&#8217;m looking for stuff with established characters only.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quick recap for those of you who don&#8217;t read the blog with every update.
