May 30, 2008 Print Preview
An amusing & educational look at the history of sex in video games. Sex has been around in games for almost as long as game have existed. Sure, there's lot's of controversy now, but really - is it needed? There's so much more violence than sex in games, and sex is required for the survival of the human race whereas violence... isn't.
Anyway the video is by Daniel Floyd who's a student (not a professor) at Savannah College of Art and Design and he made this for his coursework.
Rocket Boards is a super fast 3D rocket boarding action. My first "commercial" (shareware) product. Didn't do amazingly well but was a good learning experience
Bubble Bomb is a polished update of a game originally built by Warren Marshal (who works at Epic games - developers of Unreal and Gears of War)
My own update of Bubble Bomb, Bubble Blitz was almost a total rewrite adding loads of new features and a shiny new look.
Seths Puzzle Boxes is a puzzle game with a surprisingly enjoyable story line, unfortunately it's quite short so won't take long to complete, but while it lasts is great fun.

Yeah, unfortunately that video link doesn't work any more, but a newer/different version was posted here:

Really nice video though, however I'm not too sure I would go as far as to call video games a medium for art yet, even if there are a few stunning masterpieces amongst them. I certainly agree though that the controversy surrounding events such as the "Hot Coffee Mod" business was stunningly puerile given the nature of the rest of GTA: San Andreas' action. Simulated death, destruction, wanton violence and hearty criminality are all easy meat, but pixelated porn? That's clearly a step too far...
