REALFEEL FUTURE POLL
- 1: REALFEEL REMAKE 2 121
- 2: KEEP EXPANDING REALFEEL 97
I would like to hear your honest opinion about the future direction of Realfeel.
The new protection system has been running successfully and for the first time in a long while I feel comfortable investing significant amounts of time, money, and development effort into larger technical improvements again.
Because of that, I am currently considering two very different paths for the future of Realfeel.
OPTION 1: REALFEEL REMAKE 2
This would be the second major remake of the project.
The main goal would be optimization.
The apartment would be rebuilt using a system of individual sub-scenes and separated room loading. This could potentially provide a significant performance improvement, especially for users with lower-end hardware or VR systems.
However, there would be trade-offs.
The current seamless apartment experience would most likely disappear. Instead of physically walking through doors and moving between rooms, switching locations would probably involve a short fade-to-black transition before loading the destination room.
I would also take this opportunity to simplify Realfeel and remove various features that are rarely used, such as advanced lighting controls, shadow controls, default male clothing options, and other systems that increase complexity without being used by most players.
The result would be a cleaner, simpler, and potentially much faster Realfeel.
The downside is development time.
This remake would likely take between 14 and 30 days to complete, which means there would be little or no regular weekly content during that period.
OPTION 2: KEEP EXPANDING REALFEEL
The second option is much simpler.
Keep the current seamless apartment.
Keep all existing systems and features.
Continue delivering new mocaps, new features, new interactions, and regular content updates as quickly as possible.
This option focuses on growth rather than rebuilding.
So my question is simple:
Would you rather see me spend several weeks rebuilding Realfeel for better performance and a simpler structure?
Or would you prefer I keep delivering new content and features while preserving the current seamless apartment experience?
I am genuinely interested in your thoughts before making my decision.
