While we're definitely putting things into the game in the hopes that it might appeal to a broader range of people (for example women and queer folk), we have no misconceptions about who our major audience is. By making the content of the game appear softer, we hope that penises can be viewed as approachable, not just tools, or worse, weapons. The colourful art style, the doll-like clothes, the lullaby music - all of these things are done in the name of presenting an alternate view of masculinity. We like to think of dicks as lovable and laughable. It’s a game where two quivering cocks can go on a date, eat spaghetti, and fall in love. On the contrary, Genital Jousting is also meant to be a loving homage to the penis. That isn’t to say that we want to portray penises (and by extension - masculinity) in a purely negative manner. We want to present the phallus as something silly, abject, and non-threatening. But in Genital Jousting, they are often the butt of the joke. They are considered the dominant sexual organ. In a patriarchal society, penises are associated with power. Genital Jousting is largely about disarming masculinity. We have feelings to explore, and things to say, and by wrapping them in a big joke, we're hoping to sneak some of our ideas past the watchful gaze of unsuspecting cis-het dudes.

Free Lives does not pretend to be above a fart joke.īut we like to think of the game as a trojan horse - a way to deliver a sex positive message to an audience that might never get to hear it otherwise.

We're talking lowest common denominator humour at its finest.

It's a comedy game, and a lot of the design is simply informed by what we think is funny, ridiculous or gross. IMPORTANT? VALUABLE? BUT ISN'T GENITAL JOUSTING JUST A BIG JOKE? If you're somehow still not convinced by this incredibly compelling argument then please allow me to spend several more paragraphs rambling about what we're trying to make, why we're trying to make it, and whether or not we're screwing it up.
