Ban This Game!
by Conor O'Kane · 01/02/2010 (6:57 am) · 25 comments
Ban This Game is a small game about censorship in Australia. I made it in a couple of days using TGB. It's a pretty simple game but I'm hoping it will draw attention to this issue among people who didn't already know about it and perhaps spark some interesting discussions.

There's a Windows version out now, Mac version coming soon.

Australia either needs to lighten up on the censorship, or put the 18+ rating in to effect. Not everyone in Australia is a child, Mr. Atkinson...

Great release Conor. I really enjoy the social commentary games you develop (long time fan of Harpooned). In case you haven't already, I submitted the story to Pete at GamePolitics.

I certainly hope that this idea of yours, Conor, generates more discussion and awareness on the subject.

Many banned or censored games and movies available to purchase overseas (or pirate illegally), you really have to wonder what the point of it all is.I certainly hope that this idea of yours, Conor, generates more discussion and awareness on the subject.

Thanks for the comments everyone! I'll be submitting the game to some news sites over the next few days to see if it can reach the mainstream, non-gaming press.

The pcpowerplay forums have talked about it a bit. Cool game. How long did it take you to make exactly?

Alexander - I made the game over one weekend, probably about 10 hours work total, then another couple of hours doing the website and YouTube movie. Torque is fast for developing small games!
