Because this is a total remake of the most popular game we have ever designed.
The original Living With Temptation was released in 2013, and it was our greatest success. Players fell in love with Tracy and Lisa, and they demanded more content, so, listening to their pleas, we developed the expansion Wife Gone Wilder, and, once again, it was received with resounding acclaim. Years later, we unveiled the second part of their adventures, and an immense expansion was added to that in 2019.
Last year we realized we wanted to come back to the original game. We wanted to enrich it with new elements, add previously unseen details, and expand the plot to include new characters and situations. The original story still remains unforgettable, a crowning achievement of what we have managed through the years, but it shows our limitations at the time—and the graphics are begging for an update.
LWT1 was designed as a flash game, and, because of the limitations of that technology, was rendered in 900 x 600 px resolution—but those limitations are no longer in place, and we can now offer sharper images that will provide the immersion and level of detail that players have come to expect from our erotic games. On that note, the previous locations were built with rather simple props because we were still learning the ropes, which is no longer the case. As for the characters, the most crucial element? They still look sexy as Hell, but in 2020 we learned new techniques, thanks to which we can now present them on a completely different level of quality.
This time we will render the game in full HD resolution (1920 x 1080 px), or even 4K if we don’t encounter any unexpected technical issues. Brand new character shaders, 40 frames per animation, and completely reworked locations that will match our current visual standards. Thanks to our switch to Unity, we will be able to fit everything together without any issues at all.
Our plan is to rebuild the game with new visuals and features as well as implement new story elements and characters. Iksanabot, the copywriter and author of the original game concept, has many ideas he would like to add to LWT1, and we are going to give him the chance to make it happen.
According to our plan, we will first release the base version of the game (without the Wife Gone Wilder expansion) with all the new elements incorporated (daily actions, small events, remodeled existing scenes, etc.).
Why would we add WGW later? This expansion requires a lot of preparation: redesigning or building from scratch many locations, updating old characters with the new shaders (which, due to WGW’s massive cast, will take a lot of work), and a lot of complex renders, including wildly intricate sex positions with a lot of people sharing screen time (among other things). We don’t want you to wait for everything to be ready, so we will give you the first taste of LWT1: REDUX earlier.
WGW will be our second step, and then we plan to expand the game with further updates on a regular basis. At least, for as long as Iksanabot can find the time and passion to develop them.
