what ever happened to casual sex? times aint like they used to be.....

people just can't gather in a crowd and flirt anymore? cal me old fashioned i guess, but this to me is downright silly.
----------------------


"Naughty America" (at left) will feature live events, communication applications, player profiles, and other enticements to get to know the participants, not just their characters, according to Tina Courtney, the game's producer. "The heart of the game lies in real-time socializing," she says. "It's a true evolution of online dating."


In online games such as "World of Warcraft," would-be heroes and villains join forces with other players to slay monsters, collect treasure, and wield deadly weapons on exquisitely rendered battlegrounds. The popularity of such games is due in large part to the collaboration they foster. The social dynamics created by interacting and chatting with participants are as much a part of the fun as the virtual carnage. Soon, however, players will be able to make love, not warcraft.
Billed as the "evolution of online dating," a new game is hoping to hook players eager for a different kind of action -- the kind that involves thumping music and bumping bodies. Suddenly, in the genre known as massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs), clothing is optional.

"Naughty America: The Game" features the kind of skimpy outfits and flirty talk that are abundant in the realm of role-playing games, but it takes the virtual fling to a new level -- or, more accurately, to the bedroom. As in other RPGs, characters can have a casual drink or choose new outfits, but in this game they can also throw off their clothes whenever they like.

"Naughty America" has the potential to introduce a whole new element to gaming -- or it could become a Trivial Pursuit answer in some future "Gamers" edition. Players can judge for themselves when the game is released in late summer.

Getting Naughty

Developed by Eight Legs, "Naughty America" is visually close to "The Sims," which doesn't lack for flirtatious exploits. In that wildly popular game, which has multiple spin-offs, characters can kiss, tickle, and eventually end up in bed. They only get their groove on under the covers, however.

The visual nod to "The Sims" is no accident, says the game's producer, Tina Courtney, who calls "Naughty America" an homage to that game, adding that it is about time someone added a "sexy edge" to the MMORPG world.

"Sims" sex is no languorous lovemaking session, nor is much expertise involved: After a few seconds of giggling, bouncing sheets, and, oddly, fireworks, both parties immediately hop out of bed and get dressed. The digital inhabitants of "The Sims," quite clearly, might be game for a few pyrotechnics, but they are not cuddlers.

By contrast, in "Naughty America," which plays out as if it were "The Sims: Spanish Fly," no one gets under the covers in this game, and the action is graphic. One screenshot being used to promote the game features two characters on a mission-style bed (naturally), showing more flesh than a Lara Croft bikini shot.

So it's like a badly pixelated semi-interactive porno?

Oh fun, it'll be rife with "lesbian" characters I'm sure.

There are NO WOMEN on the internet, just 35 year old bald guys with excellent photoshop skills.

I sincerely doubt there will be male characters at all. More likely to have a Madam than a pimp.

The game would die a very fast death if everyone was required to post a REAL pic of themselves. People would think twice.

Naughty America? Who the hell is going to play a porn game with "America" in the title?

"Do your part; Fuck for your Country"?

This is hardly the only game of its type in development. Spend the Night just ceased development due to a lack of investors, but there are others.

The IGDA actually had a web site that tracks this very thing.

This is not new. Secondlife.com is a MMORPG that has been around over 2 years, maybe three, and if you can prove you are over 18 you can get into the "mature" areas of the map where gambling, stippers, hookers and live sex shows abound. You can also build a house and invite folks in for sex if you like. I used to own a 1960's motel there called The Juanita Motel. Not sure if it is still there, but we had streaming porn and sexual pose balls by the dozen available for public use. I also owned a bar that I know is no longer there, but we would pack the house for the "Girl & Donkey Show". It was hilarious. We had a blast! =D

I was hoping for the option of "They already exist... haven't you BEEN on these things, and seen what the horny children do?"
I laughed so hard when I heard someone on WoW screaming for people to get out of the inn room they were sharing with someone.
Or the time I accidentally took a wrong turn into a room and caught two night elves whispering dirty things to each other.
Like... come on.
Quit stripping down the little cartoon characters... get off the computer... meet people. Strip them! :p (only if they're willing)

An interactive dress-up game for middle aged males. I'm sure it's been done many times.

I hope they remember to keep the controls single-hand.

Maybe we'll see the first "non-stick" mouse on the market soon?
