Queer game designer Robert Yang makes really, really strange homoerotic POV simulations. His latest? “Rinse and Repeat,” A game that simulates waiting in real time for this guy to get out of gym class and hit the showers:
Isn’t than an uncannily sexy shoulder? Yang explains his motivations and impressive rendering techniques in a pretty thorough statement:
“I wanted to use fluids and their interactions with surfaces to emphasize the dude’s body and its shape. The way fluids follow the contour of his shoulders, for example, mirror the way your hands follow the contour of his ass. ‘If only I could be that water.'”
