Killer is Dead's Suda 51 - sexuality in games "a touchy subject," doesn't mean to offend

Killer is Dead's Suda 51 has said he doesn't look to be offensive, what with Gigolo Mode missions included in his latest game, but he also doesn't intend to change the way women are portrayed in his games.

Speaking with GI International, the Grasshooper Manufature boss, whose previous titles include heroines weaning short cheerleading outfits or using sex as a reward, said there will always be criticism, but in the end, he's just trying to create something fun that will make people laugh.

"I think in a way when you get criticism, that means people are paying attention to your work," Suda said. "Any kind of artistic value, anything you create, there's always some kind of criticism behind it. Which means we're making an impression and an impact. So I think we'll stay with what we're thinking and just keep going with that way of thinking...And when I say that, sexuality is a touchy subject.

"We don't want to make people offended, but we're trying to create something that makes people laugh a bit because we're [dealing with] that topic."

Killer is Dead releases on PS3 and Xbox 360 in August. It will be published in Japan by Kadokawa Games, in North America by XSEED, and Deep Silver in Europe.
