There is quite a large interview now available on Thanks for Playing - for those interested in the thoughts behind „Dinner Date” as well as general philosophy of Stout Games, it may very well be worth taking a look.

„I see an art game as a game that has the intent and purpose of being judged as art; in the sense of a Gesamtkunstwerk, even, that every aspect of it, certainly including its rules, serve to craft something meaningful in an artistic sense. A game can be incredibly pleasurable without having the goal of being art – but ‘art game’ is a little like the concept of an art-house film; it is implied you judge the film for its artistic merit as a whole, to which all the elements of cinematography are relevant.” (read on)

Furthermore, „Dinner Date” is available through two outlets other than Stout Games' own store: one may also notice it would seem Dinner Date has gotten up Steam or, indeed, that one may have a Dinner Date on Gamers Gate.

Kindly note that the Dinner Date OST will be included, as a dulcet memento, with a purchase of „Dinner Date” directly from Stout Games - but those who find they have already purchased the game elsewhere may be pleased to know it is available to be bought seperately as well.
