"There were definitely more than a few times that we woke up in the middle of the night wondering what we were doing with our lives." We had some low points where we wondered if we’d gone down the wrong path completely. Not having players provide that constant stream of motivation and feedback was definitely a struggle. But after that we were working in secret on the story mode for the best part of a year. We released the multiplayer modes on Early Access first, and did a few updates to them. A typical Early Access development process also helps us stay on track with the regular updates providing mini-deadlines and milestones."įree Lives continues: "Genital Jousting was a bit different from our typical Early Access development process. Never testing your ideas is really risky. We’re also big on player feedback, getting the game out to players early allows us to stay motivated and see what is and isn’t working with the design. "Which in turn helps us shape the scope of the project - if people are enjoying what we’re making and supporting the game, we can spend more time on it. "Early Access gives us an opportunity to gauge player interest," the studio says. Genital Jousting launched into Early Access – the team chose this model so that the community could shape the project. "The first stepping stone was just the thought that the juxtaposition of a colourful penis in a fully narrated – but otherwise mundane – world was hilarious. "The game never really had to be pitched to anyone, it just kind of evolved from what we thought was funny and the kind of story we wanted to tell," Free Lives (yep, the entire studio) says. If you're up for some ridiculous fun, the game is now on Steam Early Access for $4.99 or £3.99 in the UK.After 14 months, penis-centric multiplayer game Genital Jousting left Early Access last week.ĭescribed as 'online and local multiplayer party game about flaccid penises and wiggly anuses', the title started out life as developer Free Lives wanting to juxtapose silly and serious elements, including penises. Challenges include "Double Delight," "Obstacle Intercourse" and "Weiner Round Up," which, you'll just have to check the video below to see what those are (NSFW, very obviously). You can play online or in local multiplayer with up to eight competitors, in classic or party mode. Suffice to say, the end goal, so to speak, is to get the dick into the butt. "Players control a detached penis complete with testicles and an anus in a variety of game modes, each featuring a stimulating orgy of objectives: Penetrate and be penetrated as fast as possible or compete in absurd, silly and sexually suggestive games and challenges," the PR actually says. It's perhaps best to let the publisher, Devolver Digital, describe it. First conceived at a game jam, the title has finally got a full release, as it were, to Steam Early Access. And what could possibly be less serious than dueling penises? That's pretty much the premise of Genital Jousting, a game where you control a "wiggly anus" and (flaccid) penis, complete with testicles. As Goat Simulator and Surgery Simulator prove, many folks don't take their gaming too seriously.
