Rockstar Games co-founder Dan Houser has created a new game studio called Absurd Ventures, and it\u2019s living up to its name. This past week the Absurd Ventures studio website came online, and along with it a duo of odd images that seemingly make no sense.
\nOne asks the question \u201cso you want to be an intimacy coordinator?\u201d While the other simply says \u201cthe robots are depressed.\u201d Strange, sure. But nowhere near the level of absurdity\u00a0as the studio\u2019s introduction trailer. Which feels like it sits somewhere between the weirdness of Stanley Kubrick\u2019s \u2018A Clockwork Orange\u2019 and a mashup of MKUltra interrogation footage. In fact, the studio\u2019s introduction video is precisely the same style of footage that the main character in A Clockwork Orange is forced to watch after being arrested and submitted for behavioral modification therapy.
\nThat\u2019s not to say there\u2019s any sort of connection there at all. It just gives off a similar vibe. And likely is intended to be that way. The studio\u2019s tagline \u201cStorytelling. Philanthropy. Ultraviolence.\u201d even potentially features a reference of sorts to the film. As the film\u2019s main character often expresses that he enjoys \u201ca little of the old ultraviolence.\u201d
\nAbsurd Ventures is more than just a game studio
\nInterestingly, the video doesn\u2019t really say much about what the studio plans to do. But it does appear that Absurd Ventures has described its goals elsewhere. The Game Awards creator Geoff Keighley mentions a press release that lays out Absurd Ventures\u2019 broad plans. Which include \u201cbuilding narrative worlds.\u201d Additionally, the studio will focus on creating characters to fill these worlds and write stories for them to tell.
\nAbsurd also says these creations will span a diverse variety of genres. But they also won\u2019t be limited to just video games. Whatever the studio makes, it appears it will be tied to other mediums. Such as graphic novels, other interactive content, animation and live-action content, books, and even scripted podcasts. Most of these things can also briefly be seen on the Absurd Ventures website feed. Just under the large \u2018Feed\u2019 header, you can see the page cycling through the words \u201cgraphic novels, video games, television, animation, audio books, and moral degeneracy.\u201d
\nWhatever Absurd Ventures is currently working on, Houser definitely seems to have a clear vision for it. Even if it might be absurd.<\/p>\n
