i would really like if someone continues the game.
but most devs should probably make their own original game

Just FYI, you're quoting posts in a way that really doesn't work very well. Firstly, it's not obvious you've even typed anything at all; the below is how your post shows up.
A user must use the "Click to expand..." even to see that you've typed anything. After doing that, you've got your own post included as part of what you're quoting. Make sure what you type comes after the last
[/ZITAT] tag. In your specific case, given that there's a stray [/ZITAT] tag at the end, it looks like you may have selected what you wanted to quote in a weird way that doesn't really work properly.Secondly, if I try to reply to you (and so quote your post), it becomes an empty quote (i.e., nothing between the tags):
That means it gets completely deleted by the F95 editor. If I were to leave it like that and click POST REPLY, it would look like I never quoted your post when replying. So it's not possible actually to quote you.
In the future, you should use the PREVIEW button to see what your post will look like after you submit it. If you see odd stuff like what I described, you'll want to edit it to make it look more as it should.

I played this game back in 2019. It was one of the few great projects. It's a shame that it wasn't continued or completed by anyone. There were so many opportunities.

DRG had his own style in both visuals and writing. Any attempt by someone else to try to match that would just frustrate them and disappoint us. Wishing for someone to complete this (bar DRG) is unrealistic. Enjoy what we have.

"No, no. You don't get to see my special place.... I mean, probably.... OK, OK, you've convinced me. Are you ready to see it?"
Thanks for your referral to this game on the RS thread. Abandoned in 2018? I wasn't even playing these games in 2018. Looking at the example pics I would never have guessed the game was that old. No wonder people are in love with this 7 years later. I see new games not on this level. I'll check it out for sure.

It was a great funny game to play .I've played it a few times since I downloaded it a few years ago .Too bad no one ever picked up the torch and ran with it .The game had so much potential

I think there are at least three hurdles to clear to continue this. First, Astrid's model is apparently very difficult to get right. I know at least one poster (Lockhear) has stated as much; DRG (the developer) did enough custom stuff to whatever base model he used that something always feels off in trying to get renders right. Personally, I think the fan art I've see of her, regardless of the artist, looks great. But I know that's been cited as one of the issues.It was a great funny game to play .I've played it a few times since I downloaded it a few years ago .Too bad no one ever picked up the torch and ran with it .The game had so much potential
Second, there are issues with the overall plot and storyline that are likely unknown. This is probably the easiest one to resolve, but unless I've missed it and someone got all of the notes from DRG before he disappeared, it's impossible to know what exactly was the intended final destination of things going on in the world and how best to get to that conclusion. There are many possibilities, though, so assigning an ending and working toward that is considerably easier than other obstacles.
And finally, voicing of characters is difficult. You could type something up to be what Astrid says, for instance, but actually having the dialogue feel like she's speaking and not just saying some lines assigned to her is problematic at best. You do get some authors like Brandon Sanderson, who took over to finish The Wheel of Time series after Robert Jordan's death. Practically universally, fans agree he did an excellent job and are pleased with the final three books of the series that he wrote. But he is an outlier; in the vast majority of cases (such as in fan fiction, for instance), the voicing is done poorly and the characters don't "sound like themselves".

This is absolutely true. I've attempted to recreate Astrid's model a few times. The outfit presents the first problem. Most of it is the "Tears of the Gods" asset - but not the boots or the underwear, which I haven't been able to locate. Perhaps not terribly important for nude renders, but would be an obstacle to someone wanting to pick up the story.
Her hair is the Soleil Hair by AprilYSH, however it uses a non-stock custom colouration. I've managed to recreate something very close to it - close enough that you likely wouldn't notice that it wasn't the exact same colour.
Next up is Astrid's actual model. I'm relatively certain that Astrid uses some variant of the Genesis 3 model as a base, but she also doesn't look like any of the myriad off-the-shelf models that I've scoured through. Which likely points to her being some degree of custom model. I don't think she's a custom sculpted character, especially because none of the other characters in VWA are. My guess would be she's some combination of partial face sliders from a range of off-the-shelf models, or a very specific combination of generic shape sliders. Her breast shape should be relatively easy to replicate with the right sliders. Pubic hair looks to be an issue, none of the assets I can find that add them to G3F are the same as hers, and I'm not sure which specific genital asset was originally used. Most likely to be NGV7 though.
Then comes her skin and eye textures, which aren't the default ones. Honestly those could be from anywhere. Lighting will mask it to some degree, but the nipples/areolas will just look wrong. The eyes aren't as big a deal as there's no extreme close-ups of them, so any light blue iris asset will get you pretty close.
Can anyone re-up the Mac version? I was getting rid of files and accidentally deleted the game Full save would be appreciated too

Go to the OP (first post of this thread, that has game download links) and use the Report option on that post (it will be there just like it is on my post here). In the form that comes up, choose "Other" and then explain in the text box provided that the Mac links are dead.Can anyone re-up the Mac version?

Okay great! I did that and it's since been updated!
FWIW, the boots are Alicia Armor boots. I don't know about the panties. I think (or thought) the skin is from the character Matti, based on the pattern of moles, but the nipples aren't quite the same, so I'm not sure.

Still, I feel that the dev should be sued for the unwarrented cruelty of leaving us with this game uncompleted.

Thanks! Looks like again DRG used a custom colouration for the boots, they're a lot more orangey in the Astrid renders than the default darker brown. I think I can get pretty close to the same look though.
As for the skin, Matti is definitely close, but some of the more prominent moles on the Matti skin aren't present on Astrid... modified version perhaps?
EDIT: I've done some more poking around, and the Irelia skin from DeviousDolls looks closer to Astrids in terms of moles and nipple colour. I don't want to claim that it's THE skin, but it's close enough for now.
