Hey Rexx. If you want, you can ask mods for ownership of the thread.
You can do something great with it because you are quite well known. Considering you were for years an experienced animator and even worked with big names like Studio FOW.
I personally think that the greatest thing you can do is to mainly focus on the story. Not the endgame of the, well, game.
Game to have a beginning and that's what entices people. Otherwise might as well go to 34 and "enjoy" some mindless sex loop.
As for people reposting it, it happens pretty much. Yours got accelerated because you already had a solid following. That's why usually developers present starts of their games, rather than proofs of concept.
No idea if people would agree with this take but you could save so much time and energy by following more visual novel style using unity or unreal, if Unreal even allows it. Instead of having to have characters running in background, scripting their movements, encounters, quests etc you could have renders of what's happening.
As even with games like Tails of Azeroth, the characters just stand the while the game plays out. You'll save yourself time, you'll the player time. All the while focusing good amount of attention on something like sex scenes and story.
