I don't think this needs any kind of vote. Patron Sub votes are not really the voice of the public, but a minority of people who will deliberatly vote a certain way, that flies in the face of public opinion. Public opinion is important if the dev wants more subscribers. That's why I think in this case we should let K7 decide on what he wants to do, he hasn't gone wrong so far, and I trust him with what he chooses. He definitely seems to be quite the perfectionist so I am not worried at all. HS2 while it has more assets, models etc, it seems to have problems from what I have seen with render output, and the shiny pvc skin syndrome, or it could be every single dev using it, has done a lousy job rendering lol Just trust in K7 he will do the right thing, like he always does.

While i have to agree with the idea HS2 render abilities sucks i just figured i would make a suggestion that would seem a little less stressful in the way of not knowing what will work. Having a render done in different styles might be what gives us an idea as to what would look good, as if using HS1 renders well but might might be struggling to make further older version of said characters HS2 might fix that. However as you said rendering sucks and pvc skin syndrome. DAZ i am unsure of as the render we had seen of Sandra on the Discord looks good, but in a way feels off as it is not what we are familiar with. I as a fan am both excited to see the sequel but, I also dont want the artist to fret over the state it will be in as no matter what it is supposed to be a novel in which it is his story to tell and an amazing story it has been.
Ps. Sycopter do you know which program has been being used for My New Memories?
I think you missed our point completely. The moment the game engine is changed, it is no longer the same game. The current engine as been with us since day 1. Part of the charm of MNF is the game is made in HS1, and the main reason MNF 2 does not need a new engine. I wrote a while back stating that this game done in Daz from the beginning / re-work would have been perfect, but the more I thought about what I said the more I realized the biggest charm and the reason people love this game , is both the HS1 models and story. HS1 models are so cute as they are. When you remove them and remodel them in a new engine, they cease to be what they where, but facsimiles attempting to be something that in another engine that worked.
