Embracing the community's tendencies, more releases such as the Artificial Girl series and Artificial Academy have capitalized on the variable nature of the real-time 3D engine and focused instead on create-a-character models, usually including interchangeable parts that allow for the creation of copyright-infringing characters, such as options for Chun-Li hair buns. Originally producing narrative-driven titles, the 3D models featured in most of their titles have permitted the growth of a very large modding community for Illusion's games, making them something of an adult Japanese Bethesda among eroge developers. Originally publishing and developing titles under the company name Dreams, they changed it a few years later to Illusion (possibly to avoid confusion with Taito developer Dreams, Inc.). As a developer of eroge, they are notable in that, unlike most of their counterparts, they focus on three-dimensional models instead of 2D hand-drawn art, and favor iterating improved gameplay engines over narrative development and dialogue trees. Illusion Software is a Japanese software firm which concentrates on producing 3D eroge titles exclusively for the Japanese market.
