I am making both the cruise ship game and CCTV, however the cruise ship game is prioritized at the moment since I felt like I can't possibly make 3 CCTV games one after the other without creating anything refreshingly new.
Of course you can do whatever you want and all your game hava a staple of your talent on them, but then why asked us what type of game to make next? Most of us voted for CCTV3, but I'm glad you are still working on it and yes a cruise ship is fitted for summertime but the CCTV game should come first. Just my two cents, good luck in your work!
I first began working on the CCTV 3 as planned to about 20% and then figured it feels a little too repetitive and I need more time to think on how to make it a little more fresh, as well as a nice break from the same type of game. I'll come back to it after this one though most likely. The worst that could happen tho is that the next CCTV will be worse than it's prior (which is what happend with CCTV 2, not quality wisely but overall satisfaction)
If you need some ideas about Slow burn. I would recommend "True bond" from cloudlet, it got sadly abandoned because dev was russian...
Its about a Shy guy that gets adopted into a Couple, and the Mom Tries various Methods in hope, that he opens up. 😅
Maybe there is a chance for a similar approach in cctv 3. Where you can Influence Mom and Son like in Cctv1.
