A lot of fans asked why there will be no nudity in the sequel (as there was no in Wet Dreams Don't Dry as well).

Hi there,
this topic has been raised quite often in the past, but please feel free to read through our reasoning, as this is totally no secret:
We had this discussion for Leisure Suit Larry - Wet Dreams Don't Dry, as well as for our latest Larry game (Leisure Suit Larry - Wet Dreams Dry Twice) and for both games, during development, our opinion has not changed.

In Short:
The main (and only) reason is that we did not want to make a Larry game with nudity.

In Long:
We have not developed the older Larry titles before Wet Dreams Don't Dry, but Wet Dreams Don't Dry and Wet Dreams Dry Twice are Larry games we wanted to make, and we do not want to have nudity in the game.

That would be not our approach, not what we wanted to achieve. Yes, some or many fans do not like it. But we think we have proven that we handled the Larry IP (which we do not own; we have licensed it) very good, that we have listened to the fans and implemented in WDDD and WDDT a lot of things from the older Larry titles. But to make a Larry game with nudity, that is not our Larry title, sorry.

PLUS it would have been a problem with age ratings, especially for our console versions. IF we had nudity in the PC version, we would have to delete it completely from a console version. Otherwise, we would get an Adult Only rating for the consoles and no Adult Only games are allowed on consoles, so we would not be able to sell it.
So, the only solution would have been to censor our own game, to cut out all the nudity to get a Mature rating to be allowed to distribute our game on consoles.

That would have been
A.) very unfair to the console gamers because they would play a less content and censored version of the game
and B.) quite a lot of additional work because we would need to edit and port new versions, especially for consoles.

To be honest, it is not about the extra work (which would also be extra costs), we just don't want to have two different versions of the same game/s, that would be absolutely unfair to for all Larry-Fans, including the console players.

BUT the main (and only) reason is - as mentioned above - that we did not want to make a Larry game with nudity.

then do away with the pointless and stupid trivia at the beginning. so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ annoying

Why would anyone want to make a Larry game and dislike the pure female form?
Ah right, forgot about name recognition and trying to make an easy buck.

The game is pretty good also without nudity

Can't say I'm the biggest fan of this franchise, however I remember it fondly as a classic staple of PC point and click adventure games.

The answer given by the developer is absurd. They did not need the bloated, verbose nonsense and attempts to use emotional appeal to explain what they already did in both the beginning and end, which is a desire to fit the game to match their own preferences and today's console market.

In short, just keep it at, "we don't wanna" and leave it at that.

It could be EASILY solved with a R18-DLC on Steam. But looks like there is no will to upgrade the game, and salso someone did not understood what the series was about.

Folks... Didn't Magna ♥♥♥ Laude have nudity and was a PS2 game? Or maybe I'm mis-remembering because I also played the PC version later on...

There was an uncut version released yes, but remember 2 things, It was a different time and it was by a different developer/publisher.

Thank gawd I bought these keys super cheap, whew, could have got burned like the others..

Maybe your expectations were a little different if you were 12 before days of the Internet and had few other ways to catch a nipple, but the Larry series has never been about nudity. The jokes and humour always come first.

You don't want to develop nudity but you want to develop Larry sticking b.ttplug to a korean girls' azz. There are countless of vag.inas and p.nisses everywhere (prune building looks like one).

Anyways, great game, I was kid when I could find a chance to play 286 version of Larry. I even printed out every possible answer if they are right or wrong to pass first test these days to play the game. Now I am 39 and it feels nice to see Larry in first game is 39 too :)

Thank you for creating this game, with or without nudity, it doesn't matter much. Actually it does bother me to see these organs all around. Back in days, maybe we were seeing them but pixel graphics were doing the censorship already :D

I agree. This has stopped me from playing it.

This was a direct reference to the original LSL, which did just that. Back then you couldn't just Google the answers easily. In this new version you can skip the trivia after a few fails if you want.

Haters gonna hate.
These 2 games have been great!

I didn't expect to have a proper return of Larry Laffer after the terrible 'Magna ♥♥♥ Laude' & 'Box Office Bust' spin-offs landed like turds in the swimming pool.

Thanks to the devs for doing the franchise justice with the jokes & Jan Rabson!
I hope Al Lowe is as proud as he should be.

Personally I´m more than ok with no nudity, I know lots of people think about old Larry games and that´s all they see, but to me it was all about the jokes and funny innuendos Larry comes out out of nowhere in any situation. The nudity always weighted on the franchise honestly, wasn´t sold in many places, has taken years for it to be sold, and since it´s not downright a game to fap it´s in this wierd middle ground where lots of people ignore them as adventure games because of the nudity and others just want the nudity and fly through the game using guides just to get to the nasty pictures.

So quite frankly this new approach to the franchise suits me perfectly, I may even be the perfect target audience. However, I do miss the sexy portraits of the girls you encounter, those middle or first shoots of them when first encounter them and what not; even if the sexuality of those portraits is toned down, it always made the entrance of those characters more memorable, it really did work to set them as "goals" of the game. I really wish those would have not being taken away.

Also, just as a personal note, I´m still having a hard time adjusting to the new taller, not bald, normal sized head Larry; but that´s just because his image from the old games is to familiar to me and I just started this one.

But seriously I don´t get all the people getting mad about a modern game aiming to be mostly a fun point and click adventure not having overtly sexual content, even though the sexy girls, the aim of Larry´s life being sex, the joke inuendos... it´s all there. You still have the old games and plenty of games with sex pictures and moving pixels all over steam (like a gazillion of them if you like anime or a bunch of other nightmare inducing 3d ones) and beyond that there´s a whooooole industry dedicated to suit your needs over lonely nights.
