Memoirs of a Battle Brothel is one of several games that earned its initial funding directly from that audience via crowdfunding, both through Kickstarter and Patreon, and then moved on to more traditional means, having since signed on with publisher TinyHat to release on Steam. That's not to suggest the motivation for putting sex in it was cynical, because I don't think it was, but there's obviously an audience out there for RPGs that don't coyly slap underwear on characters in romance scenes. Memoirs of a Battle Brothel was also initially funded on Kickstarter, where it raised $25,469-over 12 times as much. Singularity: Tactics Arena was funded by a Kickstarter that raised $2,022. You can see a lot of the same ideas at work in the earlier game, especially when you're exploring the Abyss, just minus the adult stuff. Memoirs of a Battle Brothel is the work of Memory of Eternity, whose previous game was Singularity: Tactics Arena, a sci-fi RPG inspired by the shared-world of the SCP Foundation (a collaborative fiction project creating a database of spooky X-Files reports into supernatural phenomena that was also a big influence on Control). And though there are sex scenes, they're pixel-art placeholders to be replaced later in development. Though running it day-to-day isn't my job I do get to decide whether to build privacy booths or a diner, and whether to hire more security or more janitors. The brothel itself is an upgradeable home base.
