I have thought about this, only one problem: i am not yet willing to step over *that* line into NSFW writing. Yes, this may sound a bit odd considering i'm here in F95 but i'll think about it. My mate did consider that if he would create some kind of a sequel to AQE, he could do it in his style but keeping Eve's design, maybe the monsters and stuff as the same while adding fitting enemies, events etc. I know coders and game makers here who would gladly start developing this kind of a game, they have liked Grim's games after all.
I agree. I have send a lot of Grim's stuff, the monsters, the main idea, Eve, the environments of the ship and the special effects to my artist mate and he admits that Grim is in a class of his own, like a true maestro. In fact, after showing this stuff he felt slightly depressed because he thought his stuff is not even close and that this is "real game" quality, he got over it, but also told me that it would indeed take forever for him to replicate the style even like 50% and it would probably not just look good. As you said, AQE is not just some generic hentai game made in Japan with a busty blonde Elf made in a traditional Japanese style with orcs as enemies. If this was such a game then even he could replicate it if given some time. My mate DOES want that if he makes a sequel that it will be a side-scroller.
