Over the past couple months, I've gotten the urge to reinstall some old-ish, some new-ish 3D porn games. Specifically the simulator types with the overly detailed character customization. I'm going to talk about 3 of them here: Koikatsu, Custom Order Maid 3D 2, and Honeycome. Spending my time in these games helps a lot with things like character design, art, and visualization of concepts.

I'm primarily playing these games for the character customization. The porn is a nice bonus, but definitely not what draws me in. I tried to put "myself" in all of these, while also trying to create various original characters of mine, like Nyuuko-tan.

Custom Order Maid 3D 2

While this isn't the first one I heard about, COM3D2 was definitely the most popular one among friends. It has a more modern and appealing art style compared to other similar games of its time. The version of the game I'm using does not have an English translation. You can install a mod for this game that uses machine translation for the text, but it's pretty goofy. An official English translation for this game exists on Steam, under the name Custom Order Maid 3D 2 ~It's A Night Magic~ or something like that. This isn't a game you play for the story, but are any of them?

The premise of this game is really cute, and it's fairly easy to get into. I found the accessory choices limited, but I had enough patience to put my hair bows in the right spots, so I feel like it's pretty decent. Of course, the clothing and acessories are focused on a very maid-like atmosphere, so you'll find yourself in a tough spot if you want to create your fantasy species well in this game. Create maids!

A "problem" I found in all of these games is that, well, if you want big boobs, they're going to look a little goofy. You learn to get used to it, but coming back to it after a while, you're like, "What the hell are those flappy footballs on my chest? Why do all these clothes perfectly conform to my boobs with huge tit pockets?" Who knew finding well fitting clothes with big tits would be a problem in porn games too???

If you know where to look, it's really easy to find a repackage of this game that includes a ton of DLC and modded content. It doesn't measure to Koikatsu's extremely dedicated and long-running modding community, but it's still a decent amount, especially for a game that is so entirely focused on maids.

In COM3D2, I made one of my other desktop mascot characters, Puriri. Please anticipate her reveal and release some day.

Koikatsu

Good ol' Koikatsu, you can never go wrong with it. The customization in this game is unmeasured to any other, and you can spend hours making every detail of your character perfect. You can import custom hair from 3D models too, I'm pretty sure. There's a ton of menus, and it's a little janky, but that's part of the charm. This game has an official English translation, and it's available on Steam under the name Koikatsu Party.

I tried making Nyuuko-tan here because the aged art style suits her the most. I ended up not finishing, but I think I did a good job for a base if I ever do come back to it. It's so easy to get lost in this game, and it's even easier to want a stupidly specific part of a character to be on a Koikatsu model, just to go absolutely mad because no modders ever made it even close to how you envisioned it. How are the twintail options THAT limited?

Koikatsu has this fun yet finicky program called Chara Studio. It's like... Heaven and hell packaged into one little program. It's exactly what I wanted out of Koikatsu. but it's so easy to mess up without understanding what all the menus mean.

You can spend 4 hours setting up a scene to jack off to for 7 minutes, because that's how hot I am.

I always wear easy access panties in these games...

I'm not giving out my card, by the way, that's private information. Perv.

Honeycome

Cue that one Yui Ogura song getting stuck in your head.

Allegedly basically HoneySelect, Honeycome is new, and with it comes a very appealing art style. It's really cute, and definitely my favorite of the three that I played. I tried the trial before the game came out, and I thought it was very limited. Imagine my shock when the game, in fact, is actually just that limited in character creation. I will be patiently waiting for more options later with mods and DLC, but in the meantime, there's not really much to this game other than the nice looking models.

While I was writing this, I opened Honeycome to get more screenshots, just to find that it was impossible to load my character model. Thankfully, someone made a patch for the game 3 days ago. I was able to use the game perfectly fine a week ago, so this speed impresses me a lot... Uh...

Hmm...

Well, it works great and fixed my problem! It was probably easy for them to do, because this game is made by the same people who made Koikatsu. I don't know how games like this work.

YOU ARE PERFECTTTTT I NEED YOU SO BADDDD

This game and model is the exact reason why I decided to pick up VRoid again, and I'm so glad that I conquered my fear of VRoid hair. God, I really wish I could just... stream with this model. Sure, the options are very limited, but how come it perfectly suits me and my design so well? It has my hair bows, and lets me wear the clothes that I like. The most important thing is really the fact that it got my twintails right. Koikatsu and COM3D2 really are an uphill battle if you want your original character to have specific details. Mine are pretty unique, so being able to in this game has made me yearn for the future VTuber career I could have with this face and body...

This game has no free pose type of environment like the other two, but an option called Free Sex. It makes sense, this game is for people who want to see that, and not for people like me who just want to stare at myself in every angle and animation loop that's in the game. The sex is pretty limited too. I saw a lot of people complaining that this is basically a bare-bones version of HoneySelect with prettier models. I wholeheartedly believe those people and their experience, because with my few hours of exploration, it really was all stuff I had seen before, and I don't seek out the sex parts at all.

In the trial version of Honeycome, I spent a couple hours making another mascot character, but I ended up not saving it for god knows what reason. So I remade her!

I wonder what her deal is?

Final Thoughts

I love opening these games and messing around with them. They have helped my art progress a lot, so I'm really thankful for their existence. I really often get that craving of just creating a new character to visualize what they look like, so having a lot of options like these is a godsend. I did say something... Something, something, VRoid.

I made my own VRoid model, not of Nyuuko-tan, but of me. I made it out of necessity. Of course, I own Nyuuko-tan, legally speaking. She's my own creation. I've reached a turning point in my life, though, and hiding behind her appearance and trying to hold myself back gets difficult with every growing stream. I love streaming a lot. I just wish people saw me instead of her. So that's what I'm doing. She won't be gone forever, but I want to be myself. I worked hard to show myself and build up my own brand, and I dont want it to be built upon this false image. I want people to know and like me.

Please look forward to me.
