That is a really interesting read and sums up my thoughts really well. I'm intending to write up some of my own thoughts too, specifically on the power of subtlety in pornographic games.
I hope you try your hand at making games! There are really no risks that I can think of.
Making the sort of thing you really want to see is a great motivator, and every project builds your expertise. 'Failing' a project is not really a problem, you'll have learned something along the way.
I'm keen to share experiences or give pointers if you like!
