It was just another day of reading manga when I stumbled upon a post by Kyuukei, and my heart sank.
For those who know, and those who don't know yet, and those who never heard of Honey Select, Honey Select 2, Koikatsu, Koikatsu Party, Artificial Academy 2, Artificial Girl 3, VR Kanojo, AI Shoujo, Sexy Beach... this is shocking news, especially crushing for the community and fans of HS1 and HS2 that have always been locked in conflict over which version is better, I know a few mates who are mourning the soon-to-be passing of Koikatsu.
Not that it matters anymore, as the depression sinks in that all those custom made characters will be gone once
For us, be we users or developers, all who have played any of ILLUSION's games, be it their earliest 1st gen eroge games, their most infamous, notorieties and controversial title games (Battle Raper, Rapelay), to those with global users and developers fanbase, and for those who have been waiting years for the release of Artificial Girl 4.... this is devastating.... it is the end of an era. The social AI of Artifical Academy 2 that creates different possibilities based on the personalities and stats you give the characters... the surprising AI actions of 'jealousy cat fights' caused in Artificial Girl 3... This is what the end of ILLUSION looks like, not going out with a bang but with countless whimpers and sad boners across the globe.
Let us all take a moment to thank ILLUSION for the great memories and software they created, as well as how they were the ones who revolutionized hentai character customization and pioneered the way for countless indie hentai animation communities, and countless more models in so many indie porn games (like Oppai Odyssey). Thank you for the 22 years of eroges, despite all the flaws, software frustration, expensive prices, and dick moves to not sell their games outside of Japan years ago (which caused so much piracy of their games, arguably the main reason why their sales pummeled), it was a good run.
On the other hand, they kind of had it coming with all the ridicules pricings, shit business model and stubborn mindset to not change and adapt their ways in the Adult Game Industry. It's not a wonder that they competitors who adapted to the market managed to survive as they weren't recycling the same shit again and just rebranding it as a new one. In my opinion, the biggest reason why ILLUSION managed to stay afloat all these years was due to the world-wide modding community that constantly made and shared cards of popular and trending characters to... play with.
To fellow fans and OG F95 forum members, in honor of the memory of ILLUSION;

To fellow fans and OG F95 forum members, in honor of the memory of ILLUSION;
- List down your personal "Top 10 Best ILLUSION Games", it can range from the really old school "Biko (1999)" stalking simulator game to most recent "Room Girl (2022)"
- State why you think it ranks among your list of top 10 best games by ILLUSION, (Example: I personally like how the girls in AG3 will reverse-rape you if them are horny)
I wanna compile a list of the 20 most played ILLUSION games by our F95 forum members, aside from the Honey Select and Koikatsu of course, most communities know those already.
