The broadcaster has set aside a £4.5m fund to support new console and PC games which incorporate educational elements.
As a result of this investment, Time Gentlemen, Please! studio Zombie Cow is now developing PC game Privates. Aimed primarily at young males, the game will take a light hearted approach to advice on sexually transmitted infections and teenage pregnancy.
Speaking at a briefing today, Channel 4 Education commissioning editor Matt Locke revealed that Privates will be a "spoof on the Space Marine genre", in which players enter a young man's privates to shoot down infections.
Available as a free PC download in March 2010, the game could also launch on the Xbox Live Indie Games channel at some point in the future.
