“For eons, all sapient life has longed for something greater. To break free from the terrestrial bonds of our world, and set foot into the sea of stars, in search of one thing, and one thing alone: to find weird, alien life, and to fuck that life, and make weird half-breed babies with whatever that shit is.”
In this day and age, it’s uncommon to see an indie title get a huge amount of success through crowdfunding. Especially since the massive disaster that was Mighty No. 9, which left many crying like an anime fan on prom night. But, not only has Subverse done well enough to completely fund itself, it raked in over $1.6 million by the end of its Kickstarter campaign. And I’d be lying if I said I didn’t think it had anything to do with the fact that it’s a porn game that promises you some alien T&A.
Since the dawn of time, humankind has stared up at the cosmos with a mixture of trepidation and wonder. Turning our curious eyes toward the glittering stars speckled around our little blue planet, we have often asked ourselves the eternal question:
Are we alone in this universe? What is out there? More importantly… can we bone it?
That’s why we made Subverse – a tactical RPG/SHMUP hybrid that takes place in a fully explorable galaxy where you get to be the Captain of your very own ship…which is crewed by the sexiest and deadliest waifus you can recruit. Oh, and you can also befriend a perpetually stoned imp mechanic with six testicles.
Enter the Prodigium Galaxy – a place ruled by a by a bunch of puritanical, oppressive douchebags who pretty much hate anything sexy. Naturally, it’s up to you lead a covert revolution to overthrow these dickheads with your very own black ops squad of knockout waifus backed up by genetically engineered monsters and a top-secret stolen military fighter ship – all of which can be upgraded into an unstoppable force with loot and credits.
And, while they are promising the salacious, they seem to have the intention to make an actual, full game out of the project. The meat and potatoes (heh) of the game are divided into two modes: tactical combat and a ship-based shmup. The tactical part is, according to developer FOW Interactive, going to be something like Shadowrun. Whereas the shmup seems more of a twin stick shooter.
Regardless, the main thing is the porn. And, summarily, the artwork that is part of that. Art design is important; need I remind you of just how ugly all of the characters looked like in that pile of crap Rape Day? That’s not happening here.
What can we say? We love to entertain, so we decided to pack Subverse to the brim with waifus of multiple alien species and organic classifications – all of which were created by world-renowned art director and squidgirl-titty enthusiast Dzung Phung Dinh.
Subverse hit all of its stretch goals, too. And, unlike Mighty No. 9, I’m pretty sure they’ll actually deliver on them. (Still don’t have that 3DS version, Inafune.) I’m mildly worried about their use of the word “Waifu”, but I suppose that’s the world we live in.
Either way, early builds of the game touch down for supporters in May/June, with the game having a planned launch sometime this year on Steam.
