Vanja's World

For a couple of months, my fiancee Tom (aka Tomte) and I have been working on something that we’ve been keeping “off the radar” until now. You can see this on wildsidecomix.com, and our Patreon patreon.com/wildsidecomix! ^_^

It started a while back as I was creating a comic called “Darkheim”. I originally planned to have this comic on Ero-Mania…but after making over 10 pages of it without as much as a nipple being shown in it, I decided against it. Porn simply didn’t fit well into this story. It’s a dark fantasy/horror story, and I found myself struggling with how to implement the porn…sure, it would be possible, but it wouldn’t fit the story well, and it would take forever before I’d actually get to that part anyway. Thus, I decided I’d like to create this project as a free non-adult webcomic.

Then, somebody told me about “Patreon” and suggested I’d check it out. With several other projects in mind, I decided it could be fun to give it a try. I told Tom about the idea and suggested we’d do this together, and we quickly got the ball rollin’ ^_^. The Patreon will contain projects from us both, including some where we are collaborating (we also included our project “Sally The Ghost Hunter”).

I also had a hentai game project I mind…on April the 2nd I actually wrote a post about it on the Ero-Mania blog. I’ll just repeat some of what was written there:

Many years back (in 2009-2010), I had an idea for an on-going game project for Ero-Mania’s members area. What I had in mind was some kind of “pet” game, where you could collect several “pets” in an online game. The title for the project was “Virtual Sex Pets”. I worked on it for quite a while, made several graphics, including two “pets” I planned to use: an elf girl and a furry catgirl…

However, after working on this project until the end of 2010, I figured out that it just wasn’t…well…it just wasn’t something I think would be fun in the long run. After working on it for over a year I was already tired of it, and the thought of having an on-going project like this, that would need to be updated all the time with new items/pets/stuff…no way. I scrapped the entire project, and used some of the graphics in other games instead.

However, I still wanted to have a “big” game project…not something that would be forever updating, but something that would be so big that I couldn’t create it in a single update. I just didn’t know what kind of project this should be, and how to maintain the updates for it. After all, a huge game project like I had in mind would take a lot of time to finish…

In 2013, I finally got the idea of what I wanted to create: a game featuring monstergirls (and monsters) that the player could fight sexually (like in the “Witchcraft” games). I started working on some ideas, and I went away from the idea of an online game and decided it should be a regular downloadable one. But I struggled with a lot of thoughts…mainly how this would work out as an Ero-Mania project. I didn’t really feel that a huge unfinished project that would take several years to finish would suit Ero-Mania that well, since updates would probably sometimes be minor (a couple new animations, for example). There were also a couple things I feared: that a lot of paying members would be dissatisfied with “minor” updates each month…and that this would eventually cause me to get burned out and that I’d end up despising the project entirely. After doing the “Lost Hearts” series, and now recently the “Sperm Demoness” series, I’ve been receiving several complaints (not any rude ones, I’d just like to point that out) by members who tell me they’re not at all fond of any “to be continued” game series, and that they’d actually prefer short and finished games instead of games in parts. I can understand their point of view…and this is one of the main reasons why I’ve been so hesitant with adding a project like this on Ero-Mania. For this reason “Sperm Demoness” will also be the last game project I’ll release in parts.

I decided to take another approach: making it a free game, while trying out Patreon to see if there’s enough interest. The game is called “MONSTER LOVE HOTEL” ^_^

This game is the first RPG game I’ve made (not the first I’ve tried to make, but the first I’ve made enough progress with ^^;). In it, you play a guy and a girl: Erwan and Golda. While you sexually battle the monsters & monstergirls, there are also some other enemies that you fight “normally”, which will give you money and items. In order to give people a choice when it comes to sexual preferences, you can also choose how to play the sex battles: by playing both, or by only playing one of them (this can be nice for those who for example wants to avoid yaoi or yuri, or those who might want to only play yaoi or yuri ^^).

In the first demo, there’s only one monstergirl available: a catgirl. However, there’s 9 animations in total just for her ^_^

Here’s some screenshots:

You can download the demo on monsterlovehotel.com ^_^

The “Wildside Comix” Patreon will contain several projects from both me and Tom, and we hope people will be interested ^_^
