Babycastles: Bad Bitches

Babycastles is a DIY indie game arcade and gallery at 285 Kent in Williamsburg/Brooklyn that periodically hosts themed events in which they exhibit indie computer games placed at home-made arcades in public places.
On July 15th 2011, Leigh Alexander hosted a Babycastles event called "Bad Bitches", showcasing games loosely themed as "around games that challenge gender and sexuality perceptions". Beautiful Escape: Dungeoneer was among these games.
The invitation was very flattering, and the very idea of an indie game art exhibit is just too awesome. If I tell friends and family I make indie computer games in my spare time, I'm pretty sure they all think "grow up" just before saying "oh, cool". It's good too know somewhere in the world there are people hosting exhibits (and other people paying to see them) that recognize games as some form of artistic expression.

Holy shit! This truly IS awesome.

"Hmmm yes, this piece really shows the true side of human struggle in a sexually oppressive society."
"I think it's more of a commentary on lesbianism with underlying religious tones."
"Actually, I get a more kefka-esque vibe from this one."
"I am very intellectual and thoughtful."

I'll be honest, I'm kinda surprised that the game they chose to represent "sexuality in indie games" is a simple arcade with nothing but explicit pixelled boobs. Then again, I don't think Beautiful Escape: Dungeoneer has much to do with sexuality anyway... not directly.
This just came out:
When Video Games Get Freaky: Alt-Sexuality At The Babycastles Arcade
It's kinda scary how non-sexual these sex games are.
