A Short Retrospective
I remember before that day, the Affect3D site was just a small blog by miro. When he opened the site, it was to promote the release of his first title Ayako: The Blowjob featuring the girl that started it all: The huge breasted bombshell Ayako. With just a simple grey layout with a header of Ayako at the top, the blog was nothing fancy, just something to help promote his character and title.
During this dark period, miro began to plan what eventually became the Affect3D we know today: A fully functioning community promoting the artists and works in the 3DX world. After a short shutdown of the site, Affect3D.com was relaunched on July 1st 2011 as the 3DX hub featuring reviews, interviews, a look at various 3DX artists, specialty columns, new content and more.
During this time, miro released his second work, Ayako: Sex Addiction, an instant classic. From that title came our first appearance of his second girl Sayako. Featured in the extras, there were various scenes featuring the two. But one that stood out: Sayako with a cock. While Sayako was originally planned to be just a girl, miro began to toy around with the idea of Sayako as a permanent dickgirl. From there, the idea grew into something bigger (more on that in a bit).
As the site grew, miro began to hire a staff to help operate the site while slowly expanding the site. In the winter of that year, the Affect3D forums were opened for the first time. During this period, miro began his first WIP thread, unveiling his third girl Tara. During this discussion, miro asked for user input, getting many responses that helped in molding the character we see today. By the spring of 2012, miro released his next project: The Tara Assignments. While the first assignment featured her taking on three monster-sized male cocks, the second assignment sparked the relationship of our favorite couple: Tara and Sayako.
On the forums, miro began to work previews of his next project, which would feature Tara and Sayako in a more intimate setting. Using the WIP thread, miro asked for more input on the character, setting on several changes to the characters (like Tara’s hair becoming a ponytail and Sayako’s relatively puny 10 inch cock become a massive 15 incher). Originally, we all thought it was to be an image set like the previous releases.
But that dastardly miro chicaned us all when he revealed that it wasn’t an image set, but a fully animated title! (If you’re wondering, nobody on the staff knew about this until two weeks before the teaser came out). Girlfriends 4 Ever (aka G4E) was soon released during the summer of 2013. While the release week wasn’t our site’s greatest moment (sorry about that), the title soon became an instant classic. G4E was different from a lot of 3DX hentai at the time and became the inspiration for many who joined the growing world of 3DX because of it.
During that same summer, the Affect3D Store was officially launched on July 18th (And yes, we will be celebrating its 3rd year anniversary this month as well). The store grew from featuring just miro’s works to also showcasing some of the best 2D and 3D works from artists such as Epoch, HZR, The Merovingian, Nova, The Dude, Lord-Kvento, Haneto, Jared999D, Detomasso and even myself. Since its opening three years ago, the store has grown to be one of the top destinations for high quality 2D and 3D titles. over 300 titles from more than 50 artists have been released in the store. With that number growing every month, who knows what will happen in the next five years?
Before I get ahead of myself, there was still the pressing issue on everyone’s mind: What about the G4E DLC? After the completion of G4E, miro began to work on the Free DLC, which would feature Sayako sucking her own cock (with Tara’s help of course). Working by himself to animate, render, and edit these titles, it became a struggle for miro to complete. There were times where people wondered when the DLC would be finished and released or if ever (even I questioned him about it). For 2 years, we’ve waited in anticipation for the DLC. Some grew tired of the waiting and began to lose hope.
But soon, miro made good on his word as both DLCs were released in November of last year. The wait was well worth it as fans rejoiced at the latest adventures featuring Tara and Sayako. People began dancing in the streets as neighborhoods lit up with joy. Okay, so that didn’t happen, but it was a major moment for Affect3D and helped in continuing the site’s expansion. More and more people joined the staff to help in not only the site’s operations, but in the next future releases from Affect3D. But that’s a story for another day.
What began as a small time blog grew into what we’ve come to know today. Who knows what the future will bring for Affect3D? After all, it’s been a long road for Affect3D and while the ride hasn’t always been smoothed, it’s been a fun five years. And yet, we’re just getting started…
