i should have been more accurate in my post, thanks for the detailed reply.
i meant, a game the same scope as leanne, built as a passion project not as a "official" game made by a studio that require paying people or vast amount of assets. any company will naturally have to weight the cost of something against the potential payout which limits options. but for a dev that do it in it's own time, producing it's own assets and code at his own pace with no monetary or time pressure, i'm surprised nobody on f95 took a crack at it.
and yes i'm aware of other saga such as sengoku rance, but it doesn't have the same feels as leanne1/2 and aimed at a broader audience i think.
i'm not saying it's easy, of course not, but with the amount of game posted each month, i'm just surprised nobody tried to replicate and adapt it, building upon Leanne and making something new.
especially now with AI gen for assets and AI assistants for scripting, i'd figure it would be easier now to make something like this than to create it from scratch like makura did, especially on a visual novel game engine. if there was a game i would try to make, that'll probably be a leanne type of game, that actually mix gameplay with story and a good NTR system that actually complement the gameplay, not goes against it.
what part would be the hardest to recreate do you think?
