Venus Rising to feature sexual PvP, 16 positions
So, Venus Rising. Would you like to know more? If so, check out an interview with FoxySoft CEO Alex Allen at MMORPGItalia. Recall that Venus Rising is the adult-oriented title formerly known as Orgia Romanus that has caused something of a stir in the MMO community due to its unapologetic portrayals of sex, nudity, etc. Allen's interview touches on the three paths available to players (Merchant, Politician, Soldier), but that's not what you're really interested in, is it? "Sexual activities are very much a part of the player's character development. You can't run around having all the sex you want just like you can't run around killing everything all the time," Allen explains. "Players can progress through 10 levels of expertise to eventually have 16 sexual positions to choose from during an encounter. Players will be able to invite other players into their personal home or a game-provided room to engage in sexual activities. Or players can visit any one of the game-provided brothels to learn from an NPC and gain experience that way." Venus Rising's PvP will also pertain to sex, though how is not exactly clear other than that both the sex and the PvP will be "consensual." The game will feature a freemium business model with a "low monthly subscription" unlocking the adult content.
Venus Rising now in alpha with 'thousands of active users'
Venus Rising, the adult-oriented MMO formerly known as Orgia Romanus, is now in alpha testing. Developer FoxySoft has issued a press release which boasts "thousands of active users." "This game is going to change the way adults play MMORP games," says FoxySoft CEO Alex Allen. "Until now gamers had to choose between high quality roleplaying games or adult entertainment. With Venus Rising they get both." The title also has a crowdfunding presence on InvestedIn. FoxySoft says that "early adopters of the game have long-term gameplay advantages such as exclusive land purchases, access to first movers-only areas in the game, lifetime VIP subscription, and much more." We've embedded Allen's crowdfunding pitch video after the break. [Source: FoxySoft press release]
Orgia Romanus renamed Venus Rising, demo coming in December
What's better than an orgy-filled MMORPG? How about an orgy-filled MMORPG that doesn't have orgy in the title so that you can keep the fact that you're playing it on the down-low? FoxySoft wants you to know that it has re-christened the game formerly known as Orgia Romanus. The new name is Venus Rising, but there's still a focus on adult content that the firm's press release likens to that of Red Light Center and portions of Second Life. A playable Orgia Romanus demo is coming your way on December 1st. The build will feature "inter-character relationships, economy, combat, and sample quests." More info is available via FoxySoft's website. [Source: FoxySoft press release]
Orgia Romanus MMO looks to 'facilitate sexual interactions between players'
Sex in MMOs isn't particularly new, especially given the titillating ad campaigns that accompany your average fantasy title. Orgia Romanus is new, and it's aiming higher (or lower) than scantily clad elven babes. One of its gameplay goals "is to facilitate sexual interactions between players," according to a FoxySoft Gaming press release. FoxySoft is the brainchild of Alex Allen, a former artist and project director at Acclaim and Sony Online Entertainment. In mechanical terms, Orgia Romanus looks to marry traditional merchant-, politician-, and warrior-centric play with sexual content. Gamers will become "engaged emotionally as they are allowed to build relationships with other players that help them advance through the game," FoxySoft says. Full development on Orgia Romanus will commence after a crowdfunding campaign scheduled for next month. A playable demo is expected this fall. [Source: FoxySoft Games press release]
