Just a brief intro about the site and me, for those who don't know me or my work.
I've been modding games for years, specifically because I could never quite find mods that would cater to my specific... tastes. It all began about when Sims 1 was released, and basically I wanted to have bigger and beefier men in my games... Sims 2, Oblivion and finally Sims 3.
I never published anything back then because, I prefer to keep a low profile, and I'm always a bit to shy when showing what I do to others. When I was modding Sims 3, I got really fed up with it though. Sims iterations seem to cripple more and more the way I wanted to mod my men, not to mention that I would literally spend hours just launching up the game/neighbourhood, just to look at how something would look like in game, just to see that my guys would start suffering from Parkinson, just because I wanted them to have bigger arms/hands. I remember once, I think I waited 30 fucking long minutes, and that was the last straw... I shelved Sims and I'm done with it...
Thats when I started to look for another game to play/mod, and discovered Skyrim. And I know that this will shock many ppl but... I hated Oblivion! So naturally Skyrim, was a nice surprise. And I decided for the first time to go out of my confort zone (I have severe social anxiety and I don't feel confortable around strangers or crowds), and actually release mods for it.
First one it was of course, the (in)famous SOS - Schlongs of Skyrim, which got a whole lot more attention than what I expected or was prepared to. Later on I ended up abandoning it, due to several reasons, and I later developed SAM - Shape Atlas for Men, which was a more refined SOS version, with more features, and also more male centered. Not because I'm against boobs or vaginas, but because there are already so many people developing mods for that, I wanted to create something that would mostly cater to gay men and straight women alike.
Up until about 1-2 years ago I made Hall of Torque my "home", but some very unfortunate sequence of events left me to abandon that community, and so now, here I am, with my own website (which was only possible due to support from my Patrons), and ready to start releasing again my very unique work, and to build a community around it, where people can feel welcome without having to go through the harassment of using other mainstream sites. Not that the administration of those sites are promoting in anyway an homophobic agenda, but there is little they can do against a rather loud and angry mob of homophobes that exists in their community.
This last period I was gone, I kept on modding, its something I really enjoy, it distracts me from... bad ideas. The only reason why I wasn't publishing/releasing was because I was unconfortable to do so again. So, while I'm very happy and thrilled to have my own website, where I will be able to share my work again, in essence, this is for you guys. For all of you that enjoy my work, to give you a space free of harassment and judgement from others.
I hope you guys enjoy your stay!
