There's somewhat of a spiritual successor to Skate being developed called SkaterXL. It's in very early access on Steam and only has one kind of small area to skate in right now but there are a lot of map mods for it. The biggest difference between it and Skate is that you control a different foot with each analog stick in SkaterXL whereas Skate had one stick to control the body and the other for the feet.

The wild thing about Open Ocean is that literally every art asset is used under creative commons and he lists them all in the store description page

actually, it would be pretty funny to make like a JRPG and every image and map and particle effect was ripped from Deviantart

quote:

The late 90s and early 2000s were an incredible time for games, creating both titanic franchises and floods of shovelware. Out of this endless morass of awful games, Sextris emerged as a true legend. Or, actually, several games called Sextris emerged. There are at least 3 versions of the bootleg drop puzzle, with the best known simply displaying tasteful nudes on successfully clearing lines. This was not the apex of Sextris, however. The most compelling flavor instead drops puzzle pieces designed to look like naked people in the throes of ecstasy, their bodies embracing and tangling into a mass of naked flesh as the game continues.

Perhaps you too had the experience of downloading Sextris.exe off Kazaa in 2001. You might have asked yourself the same questions I did.

Is this sexy?
Who is this for?
Why would someone make this?

It's probably best not to think about too much. SEXTRIS EFFECT drags the classic bootleg into the modern era.

Classic Gameplay
Tetrominos can be moved and rotated, creating a deep puzzle of infinite complexity.
Save pieces to tactically deploy them when the time is right!

Partial Nudity
The tetrominos are sexy.

VR Support
Support for OpenVR and Oculus Rift head tracking, playable with keyboard and gamepad.

It's all ages (just happens to have a yuri theme) and officially recognised by the National Esperanto Association in Japan as being educational. They're also supplying it to educational institutions for free.

Valve still denied it for no reason and refused to respond about it.

My absolute favorite thing about Japan is how into yuri they are but vehemently refuse to go over the line where they have to admit that the two girls shown are actually in a relationship together

Yeah that's the joke

I've made several really long posts in the persona/megaten thread about how anti-LGBT sentiments are reflected and reinforced in Japanese media and this is one of the less obvious ways. Tons of media producers in anime, LNs, and games want to cash in on the yuri genre but don't actually want to endorse same-sex relationships so they'll say something like "Nope they're not dating just cute girls doing cute girl things!", which is exactly what this store page does too. A great example is the Euphonium ln/anime where it's got two girls that basically confess their love for each other and are being set up for the entire first season to date, and then shortly after that one of them gets a boyfriend and the other says "oh yeah I mean we love each other as friends."

Unfortunately there's a lot of praise for media that do that here under the pretense of "yeah but we know they're gay" without really acknowledging the social implications of this practice. Hell, the Atelier series is built off of this trope and it has its own very active thread here.

I mean yeah you don’t have to actively say it on screen to still let people feel represented. Comics did it all the time and for a lot of readers they still loved the representation even if they couldn’t be open about it. Just because something isn’t perfect doesn’t mean you have to cancel it. You should know this you like persona 4

It also doesn’t help that at least Japan is doing something. The west doesn’t really cater to that group outside of a side character here and there

Now that I think about it, braised pork is really delicious. That's a meat I only have a handful of times a year so might as well go for the good stuff.

Yeah, basically why there's shittons of LGBT fans of anime and anime accessories is that even just having homoerotic overtones with a thin veneer of plausible deniability is better than what you'd get anywhere else, i.e. absolutely nothing. Those fans aren't going to be impressed by having another bunch of straight white people rush in and stomp all over it for being not progressive enough.
