[b]As some of you may know, we're building something unique - an alternative version of Living with Temptation called American Sunset. This new project will utilize already-created assets (text and images) mixed with a crazy amount of new content produced exclusively for this game version.[/b] [list] [*] new scenes adding many more details and tension to the story we are all familiar with [*] switch from a mundane stat builder into a quest base game with a friendly hint system [*] massive gameplay overhaul and switch from a 24-hour system to 5 decisions per day [*] completely redesigned daily interactions with girls, including new outfits and actions [*] introduction of new characters, including Justin’s sexy new publisher, a gym coach and more [*] all the locations we have in the game are animated, and most have day and night versions [*] impressive new work system, making Justin’s writing tasks much more interesting [*] Updated and improved images and animations for the content from the original game [*] everything coded in RENPY with dozens of save slots, options to roll back time and more[/list] So it will be LWT... written absolutely from scratch, in a new engine, with new gameplay, scenes and characters and better visuals. It will include all the content we've produced for LWT to date, plus additions. Select old scenes will be expanded, and new scenes will be added… https://store.steampowered.com/app/2834110/Living_with_temptation_American_sunset/ [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39913800/c7fb0e16128e6cd1a598bea193dc916eb4a95699.jpg[/img] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39913800/7d34e3fb2dd8cd1559b9829c84df1f293c2af5b1.jpg[/img] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39913800/a2f3cdca5f13ddedb0cfc6db66f4d5eed0c3bb63.jpg[/img] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39913800/eca44fb62a2ff60e47fd04ecabc7edb3e5f778c0.jpg[/img] I think about AMERICAN SUNSET as a service, not a product. That means there are ambitious plans concerning the new content we want to implement into the game. New characters and locations, unique new plot lines (some of them inspired by our hardcore fans), cameo crossovers with girls from our different games and much more.

After weeks of deliberation, I've finally come to the following conclusion: to release AMERICAN SUNSET as a new product that needs to be bought separately, with a significant discount for players who already purchased LWT with LUSCIOUS SECRETS expansion.[/b] PROS [list] [*] I can keep the old game and call it LIVING WITH TEMPTATION: CLASSIC. So you can play both the game's new and old versions. [*] This would avoid a massive mess in the community hub, where the discussion will mix between the CLASSIC and AMERICAN SUNSET games. [*] In addition, this will allow us to implement all STEAM goodies like ACHIEVEMENTS, BADGES, CLOUD SAVING, CONTROLLER SUPPORT and STEAM DECK compatibility. [*] And with the game structure simplified, we will be able to add more content in the future. The first, full version of AMERICAN SUNSET will include all the main scenes from our LUSCIOUS SECRETS expansion, meaning we won’t have to split everything we prepare between a BASE and EXPANSION version of the game. [*] We'll focus mostly on regular free updates[/list] CONS [list] [*] some players might not be happy to pay for a new LWT that has a lot of the same content they’ve already seen (though improved). However, I'm sure the wonderful modifications we've implemented, the new materials and regular updates will eventually convince everyone that it’s worth it. Moreover, we'll give a significant discount on the new game for all players with LWT in their library.[/list] So please let us know your thoughts about this approach. I believe it's the best option possible, and I promise you that every dollar spent on American Sunset will be worth it.
