Wow, the scene looks good :-) Looking forward to it! Is the VIP also reacting to the current clothing of the MC?
What will the third view angle be? I still miss the complete view from the earlier versions a little bit, where you could see all current obligations. As far as I can see, also the back view does not show the shoes.
About your plans for the next project, I have no real preferences for a scenario. The game mechanics can normally be done both in a fantasy or Sci-Fi setting, for example you can replace mining by looting magical ingredients in random dungeons. I'm normally not a big fan of sequels, because first I prefer to see new stuff, and second I'm often a little bit disappointed when I have expectations from the first game, and these expectations are not fulfilled.
I guess you also have a lewd system in mind for your new game. It might be a good idea to think about what it will include, and in which scenario this system fits best. Do the same for your general game system and your character development system, then use the setting that fits most.
