Sorry, I ran into some technical problems after migrating to windows 10 and had no time for the project for a while now. Started working on it again, but have troubles to get videos working in GuideMe right now. Don't expect anything soon. Sorry.
EDIT: At least here a small preview of features and some recent screenshots:
Personality: "There will be 50 Succubi for the base set "Palace of Sinful Pleasures". After signing your contract you get 3 choices, each between 2 randomly selected Common Succubi (so you start your collection with 3 Common Succubi). Every Succubus will behave slightly different and prefer different endings determined by a set of hidden values. Her two visible traits will give you a rough idea of her behaviour and preferences. The Rarity of a Succubus affects how many coins you can earn for completing her tasks. The higher the rarity of a Succubus the more crazy or extreme things might happen during her tasks. Possible personality traits at the moment are: affectionate, ambitious, balanced, caring, challenging, cruel, cunning, demanding, fickle, heartless, horny, lecherous, loving, moody, naughty, passionate, playful, resolute, sensitive, sympathetic, unrestrained, wicked, wild. "
Playtime: "Your membership allows for one playtime per day. Before you start your playtime you can manage your succubus collection, buy more items at the shop or adjust the difficulty. Each playtime requires you to complete a hidden number of tasks for your different Succubi. Once started you're not allowed to leave until you completed all tasks for your Succubi. The first task will always be a warm up round of free stroking. After the warm up you usual will have to edge at the end of each task and hold that edge. Your Succubus for this task will then decide if you earned one of the three possible endings (denial, cum, ruin) or if there are more of your Succubi waiting for you. Because the number of tasks is hidden, you never know if the actual task is the last task for today."
Difficulty: "This affects the overall length and number of tasks for your visits (Easy: 2-8 tasks, Normal 2-12, Hard: 2-16). It doesn't affect which ending you can earn, which tasks you will get or how difficult the individual tasks will be. These aspects mostly depend on your Succubi and can be customized with shop items. There will be always the option to end a visit early using a "Vial Of Reprive" or extend a visit after à denial ending using a "Love Potion". If you wanna force a specific ending for your visit, you also can use different rather expensive vials from the shop. Gettin an surprising ending, is part of the risk for the game. Although theoretically you also could cum without permission and gettin sucked empty by your succubus, killing your character in the process and receiving a game over.".

thanks for your enthusiasm
I'm at them moment adding all the random inspiration categories and could use some feedback on the following topic:
I want two different "game modes" for playtime:
"Basic" just consists of basic edge tasks ("you owe me x edges"). In this mode, there are no "surprises" or "restrictions" along the way. You always can use random inspiration or ask for another pose from your Succubus. This mode is for the nights, where you just want to watch some porn, earn some coins in the process and have your Succubus decide if and when you're allowed to cum.
"Default" should be a more guided and gamified experience with surprises and different tasks along the way. In this mode you have to pay more attention to the instructions and the tasks will have more specific conditions in what you have to do or how to stroke and edge. This mode is for the nights, where you want the full experience of being controlled by a Succubus...
Here is my question:
How would you like the random inspiration to be used in the "Default" mode?
Should we restrict which random categories are allowed depending for example on the task or the succubus? Should different Succubi have different preferences if and which random categories they are willing to use during her tasks? The obvious downside to this could be, that your favourite Succubus always ignores your favourite random categories or that you're forced to edge / stroke to categories you don't like.
For example a nasty Succubus could suddenly for the next edge decide that she wants you to edge to cock pictures.
Another Succubus might force you to watch different animated clips or gifs of pov handjobs and ask you to imagine that this is your cock and match your stroking to the speed and rythm you're seeing without edging or cumming.
Here a preview for some of the main categories for random inspiration
(each category has an individual subfolder, tags are optional and mainly realized through filenames):
So? How far would you go to limit the use for different random categories in the "Default" mode...

Oh boy,
I am so glad that you are remaking this tease. And of course, thank you for that !!
To answer your question:

I think you should be able to restrict those categories which are real turn-off for you. Or the other way around, you should be able to pick categories you like (or you are capable to withstand) for this random mode. Then the random factor is not a problem for me. And those gifs are good idea too, as long as it is according to what i mentioned about the categories.
On the other hand when the succubi is not in the mood, or is going to punish you, then you probably should not be able to pick catogeries. Or you can make it full random and leave the opportunity not to edge (or something else) to your "turn - off" categories (for example cock picture) in exchange for doing something different - maybe cbt, precum licking and etc.
Hope it helps

I think the limitation /use of them is a really good option for making each succubus different. Even though more work, I think the answer to all your questions is "yes". Meaning that depending who you have, is how they will treat you. By letting the player know how the succubus will work, it lets them choose the one that best fits the experience they want with her.
You'd have to somehow establish the players like/dislike of content as well. I know when I tried out the teaseme ai one problem I had with it was content. I just didn't have a lot so I started scraping stuff. I'd often get shown pictures for a long stretch that I just didn't enjoy, I couldn't even get worked up to begin with. If each succubus is just using picsets for the girl though it can work really well because you'll know if you like the way a girl looks you should theoretically like all their pictures.
One thing I've learned over time is that 'locked doors' can be very powerful in designing things. Getting to places you haven't been before, that you've earned your way into, by accident, hard work, or chance, are the things that keep people coming back for more. It doesn't have to be a literal locked door, just a place or experience that is earned or discovered. More locked doors drive that sort of completionist in all of us, think free to play games really, and it's a good motivator to keep people coming back.
This all looks like really good stuff. Can't wait to see what you are working on when the time comes, I have a feeling it is going to be a great one.

Thx for the feedback... I think I will add "Likes" and "Dislikes" for each Succubus visible at her profile page to indicate which types of random inspiration she will use. "Like" means: Prefers this kind of inspiration. "Dislike" means: She won't allow or use this kind of inspiration. A "Like" für "Cumshots" could mislead the player to believe she will let you cum more often. Could this be a problem? Maybe I won't indicate some of the "extreme" categories and instead use a Like/Dislike for "Suprises" to indicate that there might be some more extreme categories with this Succubus?
Also: I need some help naming shop items...
At the moment I have:
Cheap Summon: Can be used to summon a Succubi (Common)
Regular Summon: Can be used to summon a Succubi (Common, Rare, Epic)
Premium Summon: Can be used to summon a Succubi (Rare, Epic)
Ultimate Summon: Can be used to summon a Succubi (Epic)
Love Potion: Allows to continue your playtime after you received a "denial ending"
Vial Of Reprive: Allows to end your playtime early before starting a new task (counts as "denial ending")
Vial Of Devotion: Guarantees a "denial" at the end of your playtime
Vial Of Release: Guarantees a "ruined orgasm" at the end of your playtime
Vial Of Bliss: Guarantees a "full orgasm" at the end of your playtime
Do you have another Name for the Vial Of Reprive - more in the line with the Love Potion?
I would like to add some more vials to create more options for the player... At minimum I want:
Vial Of ???: Guarantees a "denial" or "full orgasm" at the end of your playtime
Vial Of ???: Guarantees a "denial" or "ruined orgasm" at the end of your playtime
Vial Of ???: Guarantees a "ruined orgasm" or "full orgasm" at the end of your playtime
Any idea for good names?

"Vial of ambivalency" for the full release or no release
"Vial of forberance" for the denial or ruined
"Vial of discharge" for the ruined or full release
These are only suggestions.

Love Potion, also could be Playtime Potion, ause that´s what you get more playtime
Vial of Reprive, could be Vial of Mercy or if it should be a Potion, Potion of Mercy, cause that´s what you get for the "small" Price of beeing denied
Vial of Chance DFO (Denial Full Orgasm)
(or Vial of Risk) (either you get lucky or you end up denied)
Vial of Chance DR (Denial Ruined)
(or Vial of Misfortune) (either way you doesn´t get full relieve)
Vial of Chance RFO (Ruined Full Orgasm)
(or Vial of Fortune) (either way you get somekind of release)
This are very simple Names for the Vials, but to be honest i don´t think the names are too important, afterall this are just Items to use, so all what is needed here should be that they are simple to remember, so that you don´t need to look at the description everytime
i have no Idea if it´s easy or hard to do, but if we talk about Potion i would like to see Potion that can have a great effect, like give you a 100% Chance to Cum, but this Potions aren´t only expensive, they also can backfire pretty hard, like instead of getting the 100% Cum Chance, you could end up with a "Curse" that forces you for example to Edge twice each time the Succubi commands you to, so this position aren´t just expensive, they also are risky to use, why would someone do this? Well why not? The Chance to be lucky would be there xD

Vial of Denial
Vessel with the Pestle
Chalice from the Palace
Not sure if needed a change or not but the summons could be minor/major/grand/ultimate for their preface if looking for different. I really like Turbot's names for the other three.

discharge has somewhat unpleasant connotations
I'd prefer "Vial of Relief"

This guy Desertfox,
he has some good points and i like them.
If each succubus is just using picsets for the girl though it can work really well because you'll know if you like the way a girl looks you should theoretically like all their pictures.
This is true, but I came to a problem with this when making a tease... Some photosets are hot (like 10/10) and others lower than average (>5/10). Btw what is the best source for sets with lots of high quality pics with more than 25 pics inside?
One thing I've learned over time is that 'locked doors' can be very powerful in designing things. Getting to places you haven't been before, that you've earned your way into, by accident, hard work, or chance, are the things that keep people coming back for more. It doesn't have to be a literal locked door, just a place or experience that is earned or discovered. More locked doors drive that sort of completionist in all of us, think free to play games really, and it's a good motivator to keep people coming back.
I agree with this, so if this will be somehow included in this rework I will appreaciate it (I know it is probably hard to make)
Not sure if needed a change or not but the summons could be minor/major/grand/ultimate for their preface if looking for different
I think these names would fit there slightly better.
And for the potions - I would go for the Meowww's choice with the three.
But I have no idea for the "reprieve"
