TIGSource Presents: The Adult/Educational Competition

We do NOT have a problem with adult contents in Germany. That’s America. We only censor violence.

Yeah, if you think the Germans have any problem with adult content, you’ve clearly never met any Germans. Or seen their TV.

Fine. Grotesque violence is now mandatory for all submissions. Are you happy now?

“We do NOT have a problem with adult contents in Germany. That’s America. We only censor violence.”

QFT. Get your hysteria-facts straight.

Perhaps it was the educational content that was implied there?

Chou Aniki isn’t adult, it’s just completely wacky crazy.

And very gay I guess!

Perhaps it was humour that was implied there.

TIGSource is now officially Hentaisource

This is not related to your incoming compo but i saw the word adult and couldn’t resist in posting this…

http://www.g4g.it/category/adult/

I’ll definitely be browsing through the entries in this one…

Also, perhaps it should be sex/education, not adult/education.

You know it’s not just adults who are into “adult” things.

Also, inspiration: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AX6uNVlGDok

Was that girl winking earlier? o.0;

Bit late for an april fool’s..

NO THIS SHIT IS REALvo

IT”S BEEN IN SDISCUSION OFOR AGESvo

Can someone please explain what is going on in that video. Please.

I doubt even Hall and Oates could give you closure on the events of that fantastic video.

I’m a Douchebag!
I’m going to sue you for use of the word ‘Adult’ in a competition!

Tim, you’re like the greatest developer like EVER! We totally LOVE you! We want your babies!!!

Tim, I’ve just modified your wiki page to say that you invented the Adult games industry, the word ‘Adult’ and even adult humans. Oh, and also that you invented Education and Games and the internet and the Big Bang. Was there anything else you wanted to claim?

Sincerely,
Cheri (no relation to your wife. P.S. What do you want for dinner, hon?)

This could be dangerous.

Dangerously…. AWESOME.

Awesome….LIKE A FOX!

Awesome……

LIKE A LAWSUIT!
I own the word Fox, and Awesome, and Dangerous.

damn im like 10 months too early on this one… time to start thinking…

Skofo: the two inspirational videos gave me coma and cancer (but provided rather educational).

Shouldn’t be Tom & Jerry rather than Tom & Joe.. farm-animal sex lol

p.s poor Jerry (Tom goes anal with him)
lol

holy crap I was thinking just the other day I’d make a sex game!

thank you for making my perversion legitimate TIGSource!

Back on topic, this game could fit the compo?

http://www.flashgamesvillage.com/2009/04/29/how-we-roll_v1/

I think it’s a nice game, that lacks only sone uber-horny pixel graphic..

I AM BETTER THAN ALL OF YOU!
CLEARLY you all exist solely for my amusement!

Sounds good, I’ve always loved the TIG compos as we’ve got some totally awesome games out of it previously.
Hopefully that’ll still happen regarding this theme.

durr hurr hurr i am offended at your clearly satirical misuse of claims of censorship in germany

I’m hoping no one takes the easy way out and makes a sex education game.

Also very much looking forward to dashing hardboiled detectives getting it on with more and more being shown the better you do at random math problems.

Oh yeah, you Nasty equations are gonna get SOLVED!

All I can think is WWJD (What Will Jazzuo Do)?

Awesome initiative TigSource!

I couldn’t think of a more creative/controversial way of spurring innovative results in independent game development!

I’m curious to see which submissions will effectively make it clear that games do pertain cultural and artistic value…especially when it comes to adult education. :)

I’m from Germany, and needless to say, you’re right. This will be banned here. FML.

I have to know. What game is that top image of the winking girl from?

It’s actually a digitised picture of your mum, back when she was about 20.

Americans are the ones who take offence to sex and education, not germans.

“We do NOT have a problem with adult contents in Germany. That’s America. We only censor violence.”

Yeah, because for some reason violence is considered ‘worse’ than adult content… even though violence IS clearly adult content.

It’s pretty mindfcking when it comes to the sense behind censoring virtual violence anyway, as the 8 ‘o clock news tends to be far more violent and more realistic (as it’s actual real) than any game that ever got released anyway.

Of course 16 year old kids get to watch very violent movies still…. but not games. Why’s that?

Anyways, guess indie gaming doesn’t really care.

“Americans are the ones who take offence to sex and education, not germans.”

Yup, and some might hate me for saying this, but American students that come here tend to be quite slutty because of it when there’s no social control and stupidity when it comes to sex (where people seem to be perfectly fine marching their garden with rifles ;) ), so I don’t think censorship, of any kind, is good at all.

I’ll apologize in advance for having made this comment here, but it’s just a striking difference in uhm the social paradigm.

“Yeah, because for some reason violence is considered ‘worse’ than adult content… even though violence IS clearly adult content.”

Yeah, for some reason violence is considered worse than sex. Hmm, I wonder why… ;)

I’m Tim’s conscience. I just wanted to say–*BANG*

Ha ha ha. Take that, conscience. I don’t need you. I’ve got all I need right here.. my precious.. precious.. lawsuits.. hee hee hee

Those that say germany doesn’t have a problem with sexual content really should get themselves up to date with way the government is moving in.
In the case of adult content, the german government and some Internet Providers (Arcor) try to fight it by demanding a completely failsafe age verification and hammering lawsuits all over places that don’t have one. Sidenote: In the eye of the law no currently available age verification system is good enough to meet the requirements, not even your Personal ID as you could have faked it. Some time ago Arcor blocked off all access to websites with sexual content (although they managed to find themselves the center of a giant storm and had to backpedal).

Nonetheless, along with the recent censorship infrastructure, several politicians have once again demanded that apart from Child Pornography and violent Videogames, sexual content has to be banned as well.
Ah, and they want to protect traditional Print Magazines by limiting what you can do with an online Magazine.

And something very funny:
They’re even thinking about blocking off access to Twitter on the day of the election because “undecided voters might be mobilized”. It’s funny because Twitter is the only thing most of the Politicians ever heard about and think since they use it, they know the Internet. :D

Phemox: when it comes to sex, most foreign students (and travellers in general who are far enough away from their home country) are like that. It has more to do with just being outside your normal environment: you behave differently, and people respond to you differently, and the first one or two months in a new country feel totally surreal. Travelling is about new experiences, and getting wrecked on unidentified white powder and taking home five different girls a week is part of that.

I think one could certainly make a game for this competition that featured levels of violence that would get it banned in Germany, and it would qualify for entry due to being unsuitable for minors.

@48: “Phemox: when it comes to sex, most foreign students (and travellers in general who are far enough away from their home country) are like that.

Right and people wonder WHY teenage kids like Natalee Holloway have an extremely high risk of “disappearing”.

From what I’ve seen in Spain, I am pretty sure she overdoses on drugs. I am biased for sure, but I doubt anything different could have happened.

I’ve met many foreign students in a quite a few countries and contexts and I speak from experience when I say Americans were without exception the worst.

Now, that’s not a bad thing if you’re horny, virgin and looking to get laid, but really don’t ever start about morality there. :P

There’s nothing worse than disregarding all boundaries simply because you were used to an iron fortress of rules around you. It’s a. stupidly naive and b. quite ironically the worst thing that comes from censorship & rules in the first place.

If going abroad means breaking all rules you’ve ever had to life with, I honestly feel sorry for you.

I’m not a saint myself, but really….

Having a good time isn’t synonymous to snorting coke and drinking beer till you’re in a coma. That’s all I’m saying there.

“Yeah, for some reason violence is considered worse than sex. Hmm, I wonder why… ;)”

Yes, but remember that we are talking about Virtual violence. Why the hell would violence OR sex be bad at all if it’s virtual and unreal ??

I think the exact same applies to violence. As long as we’re not talking about snuff movies and as long as people aren’t becoming violent from watching violent movies… there’s really no good argument to ban it altogether.

Whereas guns kill people every freaking day. It’s so damn naive.

Anyways, it really doesn’t make as much sense as you seem to think it does. :p

Drugs and sex and fun are bad, you heard it here first.

On a completely unrelated note. The Trine Demo is awesome.

On a more related note:
I’m all for actually limiting the adult games to adults. After all a 12 year old kid really shouldn’t get his morals from Manhunt and his manners from Postal. However its more a problem of education and care in a schizophrenic society based upon competition.

For the Kids, the best route would be to have their parents actually be there for them. To be near them when the kid is about to stumble over some weird gore website and to actually talk about some of the things that happen. You know, just be there for the Kid.
I’ve said schizophrenic for a reason though as one simply can’t combine personal career and family. To be successful in a specific line of work you have to invest huge portions of your time. Work takes up more than 60% of your day, sleep takes another 30% and the rest is being too damn tired and exhausted to notice anything else but flashing images on the TV Screen.

There is just no time to take care of your kid. You do need the money to keep your current Status Quo and not drift into Poverty at the cost of not being able to live with your child. Or you can decide to be there and plummet into Poverty.

So if your average guy comes home, he doesn’t have the time to care about what his junior is playing or doing or even helping him with homework.
He occasionally peeps onto the screen though and suddenly finds his son strangling humans, ramming glas shards into necks of people while clobbering virtual dogs with Shovels and having true to the word pissing contests in the open street.
And suddenly, he realizes that while he was at work, there was no one preventing his kid from seeing these things. Worse, the Kid seems to enjoy it. Who is he gonna turn to?

Welcome Politicians. The demand for a ban on those games is testament to a failed system. A system that favors sheer workforce over family values. So instead of fixing the broken system (that would mean going up against a truckload of Lobbies) they try to “solve” the problem by censoring it.

It’s a bleak and desperate act. A facade. No amount of censorship will prevent little Tim from playing that brutal game his friend talked about. Plus we all know about the lure of forbidden things, in our youth we all have done forbidden things here and there.
Its some sort of Perpetuum Mobile for elections. Promising parents to take care of that so they don’t have to take care of it and can invest more time into the world of work. That renders all kinds of factions happy, factions that pay money and vote.
The “handful” of adults that have to suffer from these measures and are limited in their hobby are simply too few to matter. Plus its just another emotionally charged topic. Trying to discuss it with “outsiders” is a painful experience. It’s perceived as virtual murder, not a game and as such, even wanting to play that renders someone a freak in the eyes of said outsider.

“Yes, but remember that we are talking about Virtual violence. Why the hell would violence OR sex be bad at all if it’s virtual and unreal ??”

Agreed.

I just think it’s really hypocritically christian to be dead afraid of showing naked people but not people beating each other to death. If anything, it should be the other way around.

But again: agreed.

As an American living in Germany, I have to say that I think the cultural differences are hugely exaggerated. As far as I’ve seen, for people of our generation, everyone is about equally reasonable about sex, violent video games, and whatever else. It’s only in the older crowd where you really see the differences.

As for the American students being the craziest when abroad – I can’t say, I’m a bit older and haven’t been around that crowd. What I CAN say, though, is that it’s not because they’re suddenly being released from some “iron fortress” of rules and regulations. Despite the reputation, for the most part people are just as open and sane sexually in America. I’m not sure what IS going on there, but I’m pretty sure you’re misreading the situation.

I’M SUING ALL OF YOU FOR TYPING WALLS OF TEXT!

‘As for the American students being the craziest when abroad – I can’t say’

not crazy , just annoying loud and snobby

I was an American student once, before I turned to the dark side. I wish I was young again, and American, and a woman. Maybe then somebody would like me.

@54: I’m sorry, but I’m pretty sure you’ve got close to no idea what you’re talking about.

It’s really not an exaggeration as I’ve seen it with my own eyes. I could easily bring up some juicy anecdotes (complete with video footage), but that would be inappropriate.

Students of all kinds of countries tend to do wild things, it’s what students do. I am well aware of that, as I’m a student myself. But really, 18 to 25 year old American students do the most idiotic/crazy/hazardous stuff.

There’s this very clear boundary where ‘fun’ stops and ‘idiocy’ starts…

You should read my post again. It doesn’t say what you seem to think it says.

Also: relax. Jesus.

Video footage please.

Germans aren’t after pornography-censorship and other stuff on the net because they’re prude, but rather because they’re buerocratic and idealistic morons. See, there are various laws for other media… regarding identification of content, author (including full address details), registration, etc… in short, if you want to publish something in germany, you first have to beat the law-fu master. Now, theres that new thing called “intanet” – it too is a media, so obviously it must be treated the same as other media. (Hint: if in germany you want to run a blog, you have to publish your full private address and phonenumber on the website, because it is treated like a print-magazine). So, its not as if germans are pude – they’re just f*cking stupid buerocrats.

PHeMoX, you’re coming off as prudish and jealous more than anything with your tangent. Maybe you you’ve got good reasons to be critical, but this isn’t really the right place for it.

Hahaha, jealous?? Now why would I be jealous?

And trust me, I am anything but prudish in my own behavior. In fact, your comment is weird when I was more so talking about the real extremes here.

Girls wearing miniskirts and doing sexy dances is not extreme at all, girls dancing naked on a bar having oral sex with the closest guy a few minutes later… clearly is. Not saying I’m not okey with that, if she wants to do that and ain’t drunk, why not.. All I’m saying is that there’s a boundary to things and that has nothing at all to do with being prude or not. I’m really not prude.

By the way, you’re missing my point when you think I am really complaining about anything here. I was merely defending my own experience and observation.

“@PHeMoX said 3 days later:
Video footage please.”

Got an email address??

I said you’re coming off that way. I don’t really care whether you are or not, but
I do care how much the front page comments suck.

joseppem at yahoo dot com

You know, just for documentation’s sake.

Will a sexual education game be part of both competition?

Radix said: “I said you’re COMING OFF..I do care how much the front page comments SUCK.”

Coming off? Suck? Clearly, Radix is already into the spirit of the competition! ;)

so.. this competition is all about german law and timboy?
cant wait to see THOSE results.
