On the RevoHQ History page (https://revomaze.co.uk/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2854), you will find that RevoGirl leaves 2012 and RevoGuy arrives 2012.

The first revomaze released 2012 is the Handmade (the information will be found on the same page as above).

Together with "p", the next page will be: viewtopic.php?p=50
