Of course he did. Yue was his best friend. Even though she couldn't finish his first game before her sudden death, he wanted some part of her to be remembered.

(I imagine it would be more of a choose your ending kind of game than an otome game)

With the story involving Macaque having to fend off enemies (who (more often than not) happen to get too handsy with Wukong) to protect Tripitaka and the other pilgrims.

With Macaque also having to make allies (by persuasion or by force) in order to help the journey along (with the allie(s) chosen changing the route).

I could even imagine at one point in the story Macaque becomes jealous of Ao Lie for his growing bond with Wukong, and being a little fearful of another Azure situation with Ao Lie, but eventually growing to adore the young dragon prince as much as Wukong.

(Macaque would also be resentful of Tripitaka whenever the circlets are used but usually views him as a naïve baby, annoyed by Bajie’s antics towards Wukong especially when Bajie is being lustful and/or lazy, and indifferent but otherwise respectful of Wujing)

I like your predictions about the Sequel Game! I always enjoyed the AUs where Macaque joins the pilgrims. Their dynamics are always fun and the Jttw gang gets front-row seats to Shadowpeach pining.
