"It became another avenue for us to explore the game," said Brad Abram, vice president of business development for thriXXX. "We didn't know where this was going to go but publicity yesterday [Wednesday] brought our five servers down to their knees."
Abrams said the company, which sells 3D interactive sex games like "3D Sexvilla," "Fetish3D" and "3DLesbian," started thinking about a Kinect-enabled game about a year ago, but decided to take a wait-and-see approach. Given the interest expressed in just the past two days, he said the company expects to release a working version of the demo technology in April or May 2011.
Kinect's depth sensor and cameras read a players arm, leg and body motions to render keyboards, joysticks and other kinds of gaming controllers totally unnecessary. The immersive experience apparently is so popular that Microsoft said it sold one million devices in the first month they were on the market.
Drawn to the potential in a $150 device outfitted with high-tech, high-power equipment, a community of hackers started pushing the limits of the device to make the Kinect do things it wasn't intended for. Buzz about the possibility of Kinect sex quickly surfaced, but thriXXX is the first actually to demonstrate a working sex game.
The company's demo video shows that players can just use their hands to directly interact with scantily-clad female avatars on the screen. (By the time the company rolls out the new technology, it also will include male avatars.)
