What should my next game be?

First of all, I'd like to use this opportunity to announce that Legacy of Hestia's 36th release (final) will be available on January 2025, since I hadn't announced this here on Patreon yet. It will be completed and refined (You can follow the progress here: changelog) so any release past that would happen only to fix reported bugs, if any.

 

Now that my previous main project is a month away from being completed, I'd like to gather your feedback regarding what my next project should be.
Vox Gremory exists thanks to a similar poll I did in the past.
However this time around there are only two options, that's because some of those ideas were scrapped and others will happen "on the side", and not as a main project, at least for the time being.

Just like that poll I did back in 2021, the option you'll cast your vote for will happen in future when Vox Gremory will also be completed.
However, knowing ahead of time which option you prefer will allow me to prepare in time (Create a GDD, note down ideas, plan for a realistic scope which will allow me to actually complete the game within our lifetime, etc.).

So, without further ado, here are the two options for this poll:

 

Overlord H+ (Remaster+Sequel):

A remastered version of "Overlord H" with different content, taking what I learnt over these years to improve the mechanics and presentation of the game, such as:

*Speaking of character sprites, the graphics will also be improved compared to the old Overlord H, if you haven't followed my latest projects, you can get an idea of how sprites/CGs might look like by taking a look at the stuff I posted on Bluesky so far: https://bsky.app/profile/winterfiredev.bsky.social

By "unbloating" the original game and making harem the standard choice (required by the sequel I had drafted years ago), this option would also include the sequel all in one game while still keeping a reasonable disk size.

 

Legacy of Hestia II:

The sequel to Legacy of Hestia, you can read more about this game on this public post: https://www.patreon.com/posts/future-of-legacy-76603389 which contains a lot of information, and even a WIP preview of the battle system (Final sprites, untextured stage).
Just like Liliruca in that preview screenshot, all the old sprites would be redone, only the latest ones would be reused (such as Lefiya which has been redone for R36).

The sequel would continue off from where Legacy of Hestia left (Volume 9) and would continue the old routes (either as a new game, or by importing the world save generated at the end of Legacy of Hestia R36), while also introducing new ones, including some of the Xenos.

Common:

Some general things to keep in mind for both options is that improvements and supported platforms in Vox Gremory (current project) will also reflect on those.
While neither Legacy of Hestia or Overlord H got an official android build, their sequels will (alongside a WebGL build).
That also includes any pro or general mechanic I've added over the years to my latest projects (Gallery unlock, cheats, and other rewards I've added to my tiers).

 

I look forward to hearing from you!
I'll take any comment into consideration (either here or any other platform), but the vote is what will ultimately decide my next project, so don't forget to pick an option!

Comments

So, I'm terribly biased, and obviously you go the way you want, but going back to OverlordH would get not only my vote, but my money too :D (had to upgrade to the first tier to post, so there's that haha)

I'll be doing both eventually, it's just a matter of which one I should do first.

i'd love to see a continuation to hestia, as the series is great, and the xenos is where the LN really started racing forward
