Posted by GentleVikingNSFW - April 3rd, 2022


After some comments and messages, I wanted to talk about the Revamps and how I got here.

So to start, I've been programming since 2006. It began as a hobby and quickly grew into something I wanted to make a career out of. With zero artistic ability and most of my time invested in learning, I knew I needed a partner. I've spent the better part of 10 years searching for an artist that enjoyed adult games as much as I did. With every artist I talked to, I quickly realized that although most enjoyed their work, none wanted to take the chance of building a game with a stranger for free. So, I started plan B. If artists didn't want to team up with me, maybe an already formed team would. I began researching developers and their fan base. Once I had all the information I needed, I would rebuild their game. I thought that if I could make the game the same but with more features and better performance, they would welcome me with open arms... how naïve. I quickly realized that most devs didn't care about improving the game or improving fans' experiences; they just wanted to make money. They didn't want someone else to split the revenue with, even if that person could make the game better. Honestly, I gave up. I spent almost a decade trying to find people to work with who shared my vision. This was until I met Rnot2000. An artist that was improving his art and trying to improve his games for fans. Again, I started rebuilding one of his games XXX Simulator. I started with the Rumi animation and quickly showed it to him. Although he was impressed, he didn't want to collaborate due to past experiences with others. BUT he liked it so much that he permitted me to use his art so long as I credited him and changed the name of the games.

What does this mean? It means that even if I wanted to make revamps with higher-res art or with alternate positions, I'm just not able to. Although I was permitted to use Rnot2000's art, we aren't collaborating. What this also means is that I do want to make better games. I want to make something I'm proud of. I want to invest in my games and my Patreon to create games that people will be happy to support. Although I want to make a living, I'm not satisfied just pushing out the same quality of games and pocketing your money. I'm here to build an adult game studio.
