Hoping to add some steam and sex to your next game? Then this book is for you. This practical guide provides you with the foundational tools needed to write, design, and create healthy sexual content in video games in ways that are narratively compelling, varied, and hot! Challenging the assumptions that sex in games is superfluous, exploitative, or only of interest to straight guys, this book encourages designers to create meaningful, enjoyable sexual content for all audiences. Using examples from well-known AAA games (and some standout indie content!), each chapter provides a framework to guide game writers, designers, and developers through the steps of creating and executing sexual content in their games – from early concept, to setting it up in larger game narrative, and finally to executing specific sexual scenes and sequences. It also lays out a host of details and considerations that, while easily missed or forgotten, can have a major impact on the quality or theme of the scene. Offering expert insight and ideas for creating sex scenes in games, this book is vital reading for game designers, writers, and narrative designers who are interested in making games with sexual content. It will also appeal to artists, cutscene directors, audio engineers, composers, and programmers working on these games – or really, any game developer with an interest in the topic!

The latest scholarship on one of today’s most pressing issues Today, it is obvious that sexual content is a prevalent aspect of the media and that the intensity of this content has increased in recent years. Less obvious, however, are the direct effects the strategic use of sexual content has on audiences. Investigating the Use of Sex in Media Promotion and Advertising presents the latest scholarship on the role of sex in the most common media outlets—television programming, radio “shock jocks,” music videos, magazines, and advertising. The eye-opening contributions from over a dozen recognized experts in the field provide useful empirical evidence on media-conveyed sexual stimuli and look toward moving the public dialogue on sex in the media further along. Often, opinions regarding sex in the media have little or no scientific grounding and even when scientific-grounded arguments are offered, they suffer from wide gaps in research-based knowledge. Investigating the Use of Sex in Media Promotion and Advertising is the important compilation that fills these knowledge gaps. In delving into this pressing issue, it not only offers timely findings that provide an indication of the nature, prevalence, and effects of sexual information when used as a promotional tool, but suggests new directions for the study of sex and media as well. This informative text is also extensively referenced and features numerous tables to clearly present research data. Chapters in Investigating the Use of Sex in Media Promotion and Advertising examine: the nature and extent of sexually appealing newscasters primarily on cable news programs commentary and camera angles of women’s sporting events in the 2004 Summer Olympic Games the efficacy of both sexual content and sexual self-schema on consumers’ attitudes toward promotional announcements, advertised programs, viewing intention, and self-reported arousal the history and content analysis of “shock jock” radio like the Howard Stern and the Bob & Tom shows the relationship among sexual content in music videos, viewer enjoyment, and actual product purchase intention Maxim magazine’s cover formula and the competitive response from other men’s lifestyle magazines the efficacy of men’s magazines’ sexual cover models on consumer outcome variables, including interest and purchase intention an international perspective of nudity in advertising in magazines versus on television a case study of the sexual appeals used in several billboard ads for the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas and much more! Filled with insightful and groundbreaking information, Investigating the Use of Sex in Media Promotion and Advertising is a vital resource for advertising and media professionals as well as educators and upper-level and graduate students in media, communications, and advertising programs.

This is a book on leadership from someone who has never read a book on leadership in his life. While building the Virgin Group over the course of forty years, Richard Branson has never shied away from tackling seemingly outlandish challenges that others (including his own colleagues on many occasions) considered sheer lunacy. He has taken on giants like British Airways and won, and monsters like Coca-Cola and lost. Now Branson gives an inside look at his strikingly different, swashbuckling style of leadership. Learn how fun, family, passion, and the dying art of listening are key components to what his extended family of employees around the world has always dubbed (with a wink) "the Virgin Way." This unique perspective comes from a man who dropped out of school at sixteen, suffers from dyslexia, and has never worked for anyone but himself. He may be famous for thinking outside the box—an expression he despises—but Branson asserts that "you’ll never have to think outside the box if you refuse to let anyone build one around you."
