Vortex00 I figured I would take the time to type a little bit about me any what I am working on and what I am working towards.
About me:
I graduated college with a computer engineering bachelors degree, with a pretty nice full time job. Stay in school it is probably worth it. Well for sure if it is one of the STEM fields. Science Technology Engineering and Math.

However since my job eats up most of my time. I sometimes get delayed on lots of things ranging from replying to people to working on projects. Since I have a job I can afford to dump some of my own money into my games, and I have been doing just that. However I am trying to work towards being less dependent on going to work and having more time to work on my hentai games and stuff. So since that is one of my goals, how beneficial it is for me to work on something is extremely important to me. If what I am spending a lot of my time on only causes me to lose both money and spend my time, that it is not worth doing. because I will never reach my goal that way. And I would rather spend my time on something that can generate some money, instead of loosing it, so I can get to the goal I mentioned. Thanks to those supporting.Currently you are the ones making it worthwhile for me to continue this. I would probably be dipping my nose into something else like the stock market and things like that if I felt all this would be is just my time being donated for free. But I do see something here that can grow larger. so far it is becoming less of a burden to make decisions about what and what not to add in my upcoming stuff. so thanks~
About this site:
This site was originally designed to help hentai artists have some kind of financial incentive or reward for their efforts. Like I mentioned earlier, people need money to eat, but if it is worth their time to make something then they will. Giving thanks for their work is a very nice gesture, but a artist does makes art for a living can’t survive on thanks. I was going to give out sponsorships to people, but it was too costly. I have a job but I am by no means some rich person. Plus I have bills to worry about. But as the patreon grows it seems this might be more and more possible to have games sponsored on the site. Maybe it can be voted on my the patrons each month for the hentai that came out that month. Or even have games that other people can do be funded thanks to you all. I can probably see that happening around the 1k a month mark if I can ever reach it. Maybe it can be 1st 2nd and 3rd place. etc.
I also used to do videos series called VortexPlays and Thoughts and Analysis(T&A). Hopefully I will be able to get back to doing that pretty soon.

Since “T&A” is a play on the phrase tits and ass, the begennign of this videos have boobs and stuff in them. so hope you don’t mind >_>;

I think T&A series is very helpful if you are trying to get started in doing hentai.
About the projects:
Journey of the Legendary Crystal Khalei (JLCK):
JLCK encompass itself, and of the other project listed below. When you combine all of the events from the other games, stories,etc together what you get is it prequel events for things that happen in JLCK. JLCK follows the story of a character named Gheist. Khalei in the story is energy that can many different things. it can give people powers and can power machines and cities. There are different type of Khalei, how Gheist can create the most enriched kind of Khalei with her bare hands. To make this kind of Khalei, it normally would takes big factories and several months to make even just small amount. So it is something that the shady company GemCo wants to find her and use her to help speed up their production. They don’t really care what happens to her in the process.
Umichan Maiko Classroom Cheaters (UMCC):
This game (and most umichan stuff) was created to explain the character Charity and how she became who she is. Charity begins and the voluptuous sexual deviant Umiya Maiko. Who as most of you all know, is only aware of events that currently effect her own life. Things, like school life, boys, and beating Luma.
Advanced Rouge Intelligent Assault (ARIA):
ARIA covers a section of the company GemCo and tells the story from that perspective. Not everyone in GemCo agrees with what is happening within the company. It follows a extremely dangerous character named Jeo.
Daughter of Eve (DoE)/Semitix:
This tells the story of the characters Donavik(Sixxe) and Annie, who appear at the beginning and end of UMCC. Maiko is given one of Annie’s hairpins as suggested by Donavik so that Gheist might be saved by Maiko later on in the future.

1.Wow
2. I would watch (T&A)
3.Can’t wait for some of your new games it looks really good. Since I am semi new on this series will I be confused by the story or will I be able to understand and infer what is happening?
I had planned to make a timeline of things to check out in the order of events when they happened. I just haven’t gotten around it making it yet. That should help significantly to understand what is going on. UMCC is a good place to start though. you can just more forward and backwards form there. if you played UMCC you should understand what is going on in both ARIA and DoE games.
if you just start with a regular umichan game you would probably be lost. If someone starts with ARIA they will probably quickly notice there is story from UMCC that they need to catch up on.
Did you ever consider a social media page like on Facebook? I looked for you on there and got an old account that didn’t seem to be in use, so I refrained from friending it.

On a side note, I LOVE your UMCC game (not to mention all the elements and storyline surrounding it). So far I have almost 12 hours on it. It’s kind of funny, I remind myself of Maiko, but mostly because my huge tits tend to get in the way or annoy me, LOL. I also find it ironic that I am probably one of few females that play this game, but hopefully I’m wrong. I’m not sure why I like it so much but I’m pretty sure I’m obsessed. My boyfriend laughs at some of the animation or story sometimes and I’m just like “I LIKE THIS GAME OKAY SCREW YOU.” I had to wake up at 9 am today and of course instead of going to bed I played for like 2 hours.
Yeah the game is a bit quirky and I play on different things, like huge jiggly boobs that don’t make any sense and various exaggerated character personalities heh. But it fun to make. Not everything has the be this ultra realistic well written game. As long as I have fun making it and people can enjoy playing it that is generally what matters to me the most. So thanks for the comments~ I’m glad you like the game.
you mentioned huge tits so I perved on you tumblr link a bit >_>; But I was quite surprised at the amount of hamburgers I saw lol.
Yeah that facebook is something I tried in the past but never got into it. You were correct to assume I don’t use it. I feel even less strongly about it now with all the increased ads and stuff. I tried twitter also. I think there is a way i can make my posts here appear there. I am currently getting subreddit set up though. what social media would you recommend ?
If you don’t like those I think reddit would be a good place to start actually. I don’t use it often but I browse a lot of it and I got the hang of using it.
Also yes that is the usual response to my tumblr. I need more obsessions lol.
Thanks I will probably continue down that road then.
I have been looking forward to the series ever since i started accessing the website. And you are right, artists cant live from thanks. After being here for some time I started thinking about this and as you can see, i started helping (with little, but its something) through patreon and other sources (buying the original game and not pirating). People have to understand thats not really the price, but its some type of investiment, you are paying for a product and if it sells well, the quality well keep coming or even increase. Well, thats how i think at least.
Could you please add a link to your patreon page somewhere? E.g. here. It is really annoying, that I always have to search for a news entry that includes it since I don’t want it in my bookmarks. Besides it would also make it easier for new people to see that it exists and rech it
it seems like it is not that difficult to remember my username. patreon.com/Vortex00
I added a link in the menus thoguh.
