Erotic MMO Targets Female Audience

Next Generation reports on another entry into the "social mmo" category, with a look at erotic MMOG 'Spend the Night'. From the article: "A game in which adults are encouraged to indulge their sexual fantasies is bound to attract the media's attention but, so far, Republik's Spend the Night has been keeping a low profile. Come the middle of next year, when it launches online, that'll all change. Details are scant at present, and Coshland doesn't want to give too much away, but the basics are simple. Players go online, choose a graphical identity, mooch around with other players, find someone they like, and find a room. Graphics claimed to be 'cinematic' are promised, and a simple interface allows the action to proceed. 'This is a fantasy multiplayer dating game,' says Coshland. 'It's not like the dating games that we've seen coming out of Japan where you try to win the favor of someone of the opposite sex. We're providing more of a game where two people can go on a date and interact in a 3D space.'"

    Maybe they will have a mod that unlocks secret scenes of violence in this otherwise sexually-oriented game. I wonder which party will throw a fit first.

    As long as half of the men are gay and there are no lesbians it should work out fine.

    You need to play the Lifetime movie drinking game I'm working on.

    When the police say they can't help the protagonist take a drink
    Take a bonus drink if their reason for not helping involves a flimsy technicality
    Have a drink when the protagonist's ex-husband enters a scene
    Have a drink if the protagonist's mother is unsympathetic

    And so on and so forth. You'll be wasted in no time.
