DESIGN STATEMENT

Most people have irrational shame or exclusive attitudes toward sex, even put it on the opposite side of morality. So I want to provide people with an experience to think about their attitudes towards sexual shame and their bodies. I use pandas to juxtapose the shared instincts and urges of humans and animals, and to reflect the general lack of formal sex education in eastern countries, especially China.

This game and the animation are designed and created by Ziyuan Wang in Photoshop, After Effect and Unity3D.(2018)

PRECEDENTS

There are many interesting games and exhibitions related to body and sexuality.

• Orgasm Simulator and Dark Room Sex Game are two sexual games using audio sources to simulate the process of sex.
• The Sex Lives of Animals is an exhibition in the Museum of Sex in New York City, in which a panda sexual installation just made me decide to use pandas as main characters in my animation.
• The Tearoom is an immersive 3D game, which simulates a historical public bathroom about anxiety, police surveillance, and sucking off another dude's gun.
• Luxuria Superbia is a musical game from where designs explode from the interaction of fingers as you glide through beautiful tunnels, which simulated a vagina. Both these two games make me realize the use of symbolization in games could be so creative and dynamic.
• Also, I got inspiration for art style from the 2D game Plug & Play, which is simple but thought-provoking.

Thus, I planned to use some symbolic graphics to simulate different elements in the process of producing shame and sex and use sound effects to match and strengthen the sex and shame.
