State of Decay artists 'hid penises' in game's assets

[natr0n]

UPDATE: In a statement provided to VideoGamer.com, a Microsoft representative explained that "Undead Labs was not aware of the textures in question until they began the process of exporting textures for State of Decay: Year-One Survival Edition, and they are not visible in the original edition of State of Decay.
"Undead Labs is no longer working with the contractor in question, and this material will not be present in State of Decay: Year-One Survival Edition."

ORIGINAL STORY: Artists hired to work on open world survival horror State of Decay hid "a ridiculous amount of genitalia" into the game's background that went by unnoticed until work began on the game's Xbox One remaster, Undead Labs has revealed.

Speaking to XBLA Fans, senior designer Geoffrey Card is said to have told the site that the penises were not visible in the original PC and Xbox 360 release due to its lower resolution and lower quality textures.

However, when work began on remastering the game for the Xbox One release, "the enhanced resolution and texture quality brought the penises to Undead's attention", forcing the studio to work on removing them from the game.

"Some of our contractors worked a ridiculous amount of genitalia into the background," Card said, with the site adding that the offending artwork is "not visible in any publicly available version of the game".

State of Decay: Year One Survival Edition launches on Xbox One next month.

I thought this was funny so wanted to share.

It's a funny story, but would be funnier if there was a screen shot

Indeed, I'm sure someone will post them soon. I'm really curious how they incorporated them in. (no homo)

Wonder if it was an homage to Michonne from The Walking Dead TV show. She really hates guys that abuse women, and is known to decapitate them and worse. LOL

I think some people working on a game just do shit to see if anyone notices it. I remember playing Empire Earth when it was released and zooming in on units and buildings to see what they looked like up close and one day I caught out of the corner of my eye that female citizen/workers in the Middle Ages had shirts that didn't cover all of their tits/nipples. lol It got patched out later on.

Two, but apparently cloth was in short supply.

I hope so. That will be hilarious .

You do realize this has to be barely visible genitalia if it was completely unnoticeable at half res textures? Weird gaming news anyway.

So, beating living things into a pulp is fine, portraying reproductive organs that CREATE life is the worst thing ever.

An ejaculation kills more sperm cells than any zombie shooter.

Surely it depends on what kind of fetishes the player has!

I was talking in general how today's society stigmatizes reproductive organs. God forbid you show a dick. But hey, have a take at 300 billion guns. It just makes no sense.

lel sounds like someone was taking a stab at the whole console argument that resolution doesn't matter.

Guns are sexy. Dicks not so much.

relevant joke ^ someone might get it

Tessellated penis. Churn all that Titan-X compute power into 30 million polygons to render a perfect penis.
