Can 2005 be redeemed entirely?

With Star Flops having been successfully remade, there are many lingering questions regarding how much else of the 2005 and 2006 era are even capable of being brought back. Moreso: if they're even worthwhile to bring back! Corando's "Don't Lose Hope" is currently under investigation for a drastic remake, one that will rewrite the lyrics to be less clunky, and involve new background story characters. The setting might be moved to India, to further demonstrate that the song wishes to invoke a message that is universal - a far cry from the rather small-minded love song it was originally decked up to be.

After that, there's Lo-Mun's Cooking Adventure. This tale will also require a dramatic rewrite. Instead of its bland setup, it could go for a parody of Hell's Kitchen, Master Chef, or some other modern cooking contest show. With more recipes available in Sims 4, a decent rewrite could be possible.

With a Cataclysmic Gerosha rewrite pending for The Battle for Gerosha, there's little interest in a straight re-release of the original. Instead, clips from it will feature in an anthology book, compiling its old artwork and themes with those of Ciem 1, 2, and 3 from that era. Otherwise, Gerosha Prime isn't coming back. With a few tweaks, 90 Has No Secant can be re-released, giving Uber-Proto-Gerosha a last stand.

A final anthology book is pending as well for all that has survived from Despair Gerosha. Another one is for all Classic Gerosha works that were never finished. A book re-release of Ciem from 2007 is also pending. Also, a compilation anthology book of all that has survived from Comprehensive Gerosha is under consideration. After that, nothing else Gerosha-related is coming back that pre-dates Cataclysmic Gerosha. It will be Earth-G7 and beyond from there on out.

As for literature: only a handful of publications remain to be released that pre-date 2010. After that, Dozerfleet's focus will be on emptying out the queue from the 2010s of ideas and projects that were never completed / published.

Corando will be attempted. Beyond that, there's no guarantee that much else from before 2010 can hope to get re-released, that hasn't already been given one. Anything else from 2005 or before, is also facing an uncertain future.
