They'd be sliding the endowment slider, and they didn't have nudity on, which doesn't do anything. I watched some of the Twitch streams the day we launched, and it was really funny to watch the Twitch streamers in character creation. It's part of the game, so I thought it was really funny. I don't really differentiate between them. Oh, well, I think the game got more attention than I expected anyway, so I'm just really happy with how everything's gone. Well, I was thinking more, it didn't bother you guys that the dicks got almost as much attention as the game itself? I mean, I'm Australian but I live in Norway. So your attitude has been to kind of embrace it? It was a great reaction.Īnd the cool thing is that everyone sort of embraced it, right? Like, there was no one saying, "Oh, we hate nudity." Everybody was like mostly, "Oh, it's about time somebody did this. I wasn't expecting quite that reaction, but it was fine. What I didn't expect was people to write full articles about it. It's funny," and then mention it in their commentary on the game. I was expecting journalists to sort of go, "Oh, there's dick slider. We were actually quite surprised-I was, at least personally, I was very surprised. And then I remember we talked about it with the marketing team for the game, and we were like, "Well, it's not a big feature. Everybody laughed and chuckled the first time they saw it, and then we just kept working on the game and it became normal. It was six months before we launched the game that we did this. People will think that's great."Īnd the thing was, we laughed about it a little bit, and then nobody cared about it after. Like, we could do it." And then we discussed it, and I said, "Oh, we should add a slider because that would be funny. We're not worried about the rating boards." And we went, "Yeah, dicks fit.

We were talking about character creation and we were talking about Age of Conan, which we launched a few years ago, and it had a breast slider.Īnd we said, "What about nudity in this game? Like, how much do we care? We don't have to get a rating because it's going on Steam. And we had a discussion in the leads meeting about nudity in general. Joel Bylos: I remember pretty clearly because I was the one who had to go and tell the character modeler afterwards that she had to put penises in the game.
