After a slow launch last July, self-described "3D waifu sci-fi RPG shooter" Snowbreak: Containment Zone has swan-dived into a pool of proudly sexualized outfits and animations – and this strategy has apparently boosted the game so much that developer Amazing Seasun Games is already planning a whole lot more despite some criticism.
A new report from Automaton puts a spotlight on how a concerted emphasis on fan service – a catch-all term often used to describe sexy outfits, scenes, and other content in games or anime especially – has benefited Snowbreak. In the original Japanese interview (machine translated), the game's Japanese producer directly agrees that the biggest contributing factor was releasing "fan service" content giving players what they want.
