Dick Game (Info page)

 Dick Game is an erotic dark comedy web series created by Cumagical Studios. Taking place in a decadent, near future society, it follows the fictional broadcast of a live reality TV game show called Dick Game, where 8 female contestants attempt to clear certain challenges, with the loser of every challenge being "dicked" - having humiliating sex in front of the cameras - by an anonymous character called Richard. The series consists of 8 episodes, one of which being a filler episode with Richard answering viewer questions.

Production

The initial idea came from the Netflix show Squid Game, with Fröy wanting to do a parody of the show with an erotic angle. It was also meant to be a comment on the exploitive nature of reality TV. It was initially thought to be a smaller project, much simpler than Noblian Chronicles which had just been completed. However, like so many other projects, it turned out to be a bigger undertaking than initially believed.
While the recording process was fairly straightforward, the editing took longer than usual. Some of the hurdles included the sound effects, which required many variants of audience participation like cheers and applause, and the attempts to make the series look like a TV show broadcasted live, which would include some intentional technical difficulties.

Trivia

• The only scripted aspect of the competition was Deborah being the winner. All other challenge results were unknown even to Fröy during the recording. In some challenges, like the Endurance Challenge and the Jenga Challenge, the loser was decided by the game itself. In others, like the Trivia challenge, Fröy picked the loser by coin tossing.
• Even though the series is a comedy, it has a dark undertone. During the production, Fröy referred to it as "dystopian comedy", with the series (despite having a goofy, overly enthusiastic tone with plenty of bad and cheesy jokes) giving various hints of it taking place in a dystopian society.
• The viewers sending in messages during the "dicking" include numerous references. Some of these viewers are Larry Laffer from the Leisure Suit Larry franchise and Trevor Phillips from the game Grand Theft Auto V.
• One viewer message complains about the challenges being lame, wanting more exciting ones like mud wrestling and mechanical bull riding. This stems from Fröy struggling to come up with challenges in the game that would be visually exciting while still making sense.
• The credits also include some easter eggs. The assistant producer of the show is Gaunter O'Dimm, a character from the game The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. The camera man is Charles Jones, also known as the Mindsnake, a Cumagical character featured in several stories.
• Fröy's favorite contestant is Petra, while Llunkttut's favorite is Michelle.
• The contestant Kelseigh is a live streamer on Twatch, the same fictional streaming site featured in the story ILY.
• Episode 7 was always meant to be a filler episode, but Fröy was undecided on what it should consist of. Initially he planned to make it a highlight reel of the dickings so far in the season, but later decided to make it a Q&A with Richard since he felt the character had some comedic potential. The highlight reel was instead moved to Episode 8.
• Episode 2 includes a trailer for the Cumagical Studios series Noblian Chronicles.
• Despite the idea being purposefully ludicrous, Fröy feels that the concept of Dick Game sadly isn't too far-fetched in the world of reality TV.
