We create a variety of content; games, digital stills, animation, and novels. But why are we doing all of this? What are we hoping to bring to the world through our creations? Oh, we’re so glad you asked! 😉
Gameplay
The vast majority of erotic games available today rely on discomfort and corruption style mechanics that encourage and reward toxic behavior as the player directs their character to harass and violate consent boundaries of others within the game to manipulate them into lewd behavior.
Instead, by focusing on character traits such as happiness and confidence, our games will help to demonstrate how people can grow and change as healthy sexual beings without having their consent violated. The excitement and reward of sexual fantasy need not be at odds with the idea of treating people with respect and dignity.
Diversity
Most games (not just the erotic ones) do not have a diverse representation of gender or body types without using negativity and/or stereotyping. We want to help change that situation by presenting stories and experiences where all people are treated with respect and care.
Sex Positivity
Ironically, in many erotic games and stories, sex-positivity is either absent entirely or not directed equally to all characters. Often the (usually male) main character has internal dialog shaming themselves for their attractions, and/or shaming their sexual partners (especially when the partner is female). As sex-positive feminists, we want this to change, and for our games and stories to show characters who happily enjoy sex and feel empowered by expressing their sexuality as they see fit.
Relationships
Alternative relationship structures are woefully underrepresented in erotic games and stories, and where they are portrayed, they are often contextualized as permutations of unrealistic and/or abusive “harems”.
Polyamory (and other forms of ethical non-monogamy) are rarely presented with any accuracy in erotic content, probably because most artists, developers, and writers are not familiar enough with the topic. Every person on our team is non-monogamous, and we want to tell erotic stories that make sense to us, and that reflect our lifestyles and our fantasies.
Cooperative Structure
We (Indecency Studios) are a leftist worker-owned cooperative ourselves, and we want to imagine and explore the ways such a business model could improve the lives and circumstances of those who love and are loved by sex workers. We reflect our experiences running a worker-owned cooperative in the real world through into these stories. For example, in our Neon Playground universe, the brothel (for which the universe itself is named) where most of our stories take place is owned and operated cooperatively by the very characters who do sex-work there.
It’s fucking hot!
Simply put, we love porn and erotica and sex workers, and there can never be too much of that kind of content in the world!
