Learn what women want in bed News

DS News by Ellie Gibson

7 December, 2005

A game designer from Ubisoft's Montreal studio has come up with a new idea for a DS game that's aimed at teaching us all about how ladies work.

Heather Kelley came up with the concept for the Game Design Challenge competition held at this year's Montreal Games Summit. The game, which is titled Lapis, is billed as "A magical pet adventure... And stealthy primer on female sexual pleasure."

It works like this: you play with cute little bunnies on the DS's touch-screen - stroking, scratching and tickling them and so on. You can also use the microphone to talk and sing to the rabbits, and blow on their fur. If you do it right and give the bunnies enough "magical energy", they will start flying.

"The way you play with the bunnies in order to win is patterned after the VARIETY of female sexual response," explained Kelley.

"This is the overall pattern but it can’t be achieved in the same way every time - different things work for different bunnies, at different stages of the game."

"The hope is that the game would entertain females - without them ever needing to understand the sex metaphor. But at some point when they did start figuring out the connection to their own sexuality and pleasure, they would have learned some ideas and techniques behind sexual satisfaction."

You can read more about Lapis and download a demo of the game over at Moboid.com.

And, if you want to practice with male orgasm mechanics I advice you to download the old "Decathlon" for Atari VCS and practice 100m, 400m or 1500m (depending on your boyfriend stamina) turning the joy 90 degrees, so that left-right motions become up and down motions...
Ok, I'm sick, but this Lapis thing is even sickier.
@tonynibbles: remember that men that say that they haven't anything to learn are often left by their women for men that are always open to learn something new...

This is a nice idea, but I don't think it'll actually work. I've suggested to my girl that I poke her in the puzzy with a sharp stick and she said no.

Yeah, right, exactly what male gamers need, a sexual manual disguised as a game, another brick on the wall that defines us as sexless nerds...

Can't wait :)

Actaully it's targeted at females. Makes sense, you can't enjoy yourself in bed unless you know what you like for yourself first. How would you be able to tell your partner if you diden't know?

Bunny simulator disguised as sex educational tool? I don't want to know what this guy is going to come up next?

But will it be fun to play?

I like the blowing on their fur part. Dunno if a lot of girls will like that O_o

"Learn what women want"

So when you plug the cartridge in, do shoes and bundles of cash start popping out the back of the DS?

Will they be a revo version, prefebly for the revo remote?

It would explain why ninty are planning to have the revo remote have a rumble feature.

It was posted in the forum aswell. A pet project, obviously not a commercialy availebel game, of one of Ubisofts programmers. A way to start a discussion about sexual content in games, without actaully having any of the silly GTA fake porn scenes. A subject that'l become more relivant as games mature beyond the "omg the boobs jiggle in Dead or Alive".
Why not? Doesn't really sound like a joke but if it is somebody should probably do it for real, sounds like an interesting concept.

Acount of the event, with the Lapis game demo

Battle Raper, a fighting game in wich you sexually assualt the female characters, now that sounds like a joke. But is actaully real.
PSP version too.

I'd say it's more likely that they'll figure out the connection and be disgusted... How would you like to find that the cute bunny you've been playing with has actually been getting itself off on you? =/

I can't quite get my head around this... if it's supposed to be a simulator for female sexual responses, why are women supposed to play that? Wouldn't they be better off doing just, you know... without the DS?

Well you're correct on both counts... read the developer notes on the link. It's all to do with the shape of the rabbit from above and the positions of it's tail and ears and such... I'll leave the rest to you.

I guess women wouldn't be so keen to play if it was an interpretation of a sucking chest wound.
