We haven't done an Ask Me Anything in a while. Go ahead and ask Mortze or me any questions you might have. Don't censor yourselves. If the question is somehow inappropriate, we won't take offense. We just won't answer it.
You can ask in the comments here, or in direct message here, or in the general channel on Discord, or in direct message on Discord. Go to town.

does any of your future games has a women who is basically a copy of the director form Toro 7 with a lesbian route
Just a quick question as I am rather new to you and your games, but if you don't mind me asking, what is the reason your games are not released on steam?
Steam is a ... challenge. They have rather draconian rules that aren't enforced evenly across the games they publish. And if they decide that you violated one of those rules, they'll ban everything you ever published without telling you why or giving you any option to appeal or fix the transgression. We had a generic publisher put two of our games on Steam and then the publisher got banned for a game by a different developer, and that took our games down. Mortze has been working to get himself set up as a publisher, but I'm not sure where he is in the process. --Tlaero
Thanks for your answers!
What are your favorite adult games or AVNs of the past year or two?
Past year or two the list is very small. I'm very picky with adult games and AVNs because I have criteria that are not easy to fill. I'm very demanding when it comes to art and a game has to be visually pleasant to me first. If that is achieved then come the erotic criteria I want. And those 2 things are very difficult to find together. Light of My Life may be the only one in the past 3 years. Milfy City too but it has nothing beyond great models and renders. What a Legend! is also a very great game discovered in the past years but I think it is older than 2 years. I'd recommend that one for sure. -- Mortze
Since it is difficult to live on the income from an AVN, a lot of creators struggle . They have limited time between a day job, friends/family, and sleep, and also the cost of the tools can be difficult to cover. Keeping the inspiration for the time it takes to complete can be difficult. What are your thoughts on this? Your strategies to keep sane?
My strategy is to balance work-time and me-time. I don't make more money - it's ok-ish for my country but it would be not enough in other countries - because I dedicate a lot of time to venting out and other important stuff like family and hobbies. That's why I've been doing this since 2016 and have never had a burnout. -- Mortze
How did the two of you meet and decide to start working together?
There was a forum back in the 2010's called Shark's Forum where the erotic games community gathered and both devs and players discussed. I was a fan of Tlaero's collab game with Phreaky and knew that the collaboration stopped. I just reached Tlaero in a PM asking if she was looking for a new 3d artist. I sent her a few pics and she liked me over other artists and we started discussing ideas that led to Dreaming with Elsa. -- Mortze
Will we see Blake and Won again in a dedicated game ? I loved the investigative aspect of Darkness Fall.
both: plans in the works for more in the 'Pandora-verse' (for lack of better term) Pandora pt 2 ended pretty wide open... kinda looking forward to that if it is coming...
Not for the moment sadly. -- Mortze
Tlaero: What was the deciding factor in your full-time return? Mortze: Is it different creating a game with or without Tlaero? Both: How did you guys build such good chemistry and creativity? What's your secret?
There are differences in styles certainly. Tlaero has a different voice in her characters than I do. Also, since I'm a pervert man there are differences in the erotic focus. Respect between one another I believe. And we are both nerds from more or less the same generation, there's plenty of common ground between us. -- Mortze
Do you think there will be another story with Keely and Christine?
