A mixture of pac-man with minesweeper, where the main part of game-play is pac-man but the whole level is covered with blocks, so that the player can't see the whole level and would have to use intuition to guess the right path around the level. Some of the bricks are solid and some are destructable. The player would have to path through the level and slowly open up the level. The difficulty would increase the farther the player goes, with either faster or more intelligent enemies or just more enemies. Some of them would be able to clip through the walls and some would have to go around, opening new routes for the players. The idea behind this is to mix the two classics to make a great alternative to both of them. The pac-sweeper is very challenging and would challenge your reaction speed and quirkiness.

It's a close future, where the robots have became day-to-day helpers in everything, from house duties to helping with business. You play as one of the cashiers for a big supermarket company, that utilizes robots to help the employees and to protect from burglary. Your usual shifts end about 2 hours after the supermarket closes and you need to finish everything up before going home. But something goes wrong and the security bots and the assistant bots turn on and start seeing you as an intruder and start hunting you. Your objective is to either survive until morning or try to escape. Another problem is that most of the lights in the whole place are out and only several lamps and isles are lit up. The player would have to work around that as well, since the robots might get attracted to the light or other sources of attention, or even try to lure the player to themselves.

A strategy / management game where a player take role of a CEO of a very special studio. The reason why is it so special is that if your employees fail to do something on the set or during any kind of work, the punishment for them is death. And you get to choose how and where are they going to be killed. But don't go to crazy about that, because if you do, you will have to spend too much money on the funeral services and hiring new ones. The players would have to manage various resources, employees, time and money as well as different demand for the movie. "A Deadly Movie" will also contain dark humor and the game would reward you for going that path. You would also get to grow your studio by overtaking the already developed and big ones and forcing their employees to work for you.

The Assistant, is a third person action shooter game about a hit-man organisation that specializes is eliminating high value targets like CEOs and politicians. The idea is that an assassin is implemented into the company as a starting intern and is to eliminate the higher up target. The idea behind this ruse is that nobody would even double look at interns in big companies, so therefore they are the easiest to use to hide the identity.

It is up to player how fast and in what way to eliminate the target. The more elegantly the assassination is the more points and money the player would get. The story would follow an assassin by the name of Isaac, who is getting close to retirement and has several more contracts to finish, before he is done. But on the last contract, something goes wrong and he is framed, so now he has to find out who framed him and exact revenge!

A first person game about dirty business management based on true story, where a player finds a job and tricks his co-workers into a bad talk, and then gets them to pay money as a punishment for the bad behavior. So at this point the counting begins as the longer the co-worker takes to pay, the more money he has to return. Then the player needs to find a new job without quitting the previous one, and repeat the same process. That way he or she organizes their income ring. The idea behind this game is to show how the insides of the businesses can be dirty. The game would feature many more extra versions where you can get your peers or friends on the "counter". All that money gathered from the "counters" can be either deposited into the bank or invested into more businesses.

The meaning of the "counter" is when a person shows bad behavior towards another person, he is required to "pay" for that.

A god game where a player has to pick one of the two sides, new gods or old gods. The new gods or just "The New" are gods of technology, business and anything modern, while the old gods or "The Old" are the older kind of gods, mixed from all cultures, trying to get the humans to believe in them again. The point of the game is to get more followers or believers than other faction. One of the ways you can do it is to create wonders close to the people to get their attention and then build a following from that. Or you can do otherwise and cause chaos throughout the world and let the puny mortals know of your existence! The game would feature the whole planet at your disposal and even full physics of it to show how much damage you can cause to it and how will you shape it.

A comedy shooter game where instead of humans hunting the dinosaurs, it is vice versa. Giant dinosaurs, with rifles, hunting humans throughout a massive jungle. The game would feature a lot of different species of dinosaurs and even more guns. The idea is to show how absurd would it look if dinosaurs would've tried hunting us with our own weaponry. The Hunt would consist of several game modes, the two of them being the killcount, which is pretty much a competition between two dinosaurs on who would get more kills, and Deathmatch, where the two or more dinosaurs have to fight against each other while killing the humans as well! The maps would also feature full destruction meaning the longer the hunt goes, the more the maps is going to be beaten up by all of the mayhem. The map would be procedurally generated and may vary in size, from just a small village to even a massive island.

A 2D adventure platformer set on various planets and asteroids, where a player gets to explore them in and out. The game's inspirations are games like The Journey, Walking Mars. The Purpose of 'Into the Unknown' is to have a relaxing experience where the player gets to explore the new places, while listening to a relaxing music that may differ in style, depending on the location on the planet and the planet itself. The flora and fauna would also different and vast, varying in colors and behaviors. The game would also contain some puzzles or lore parts for different segments of the planets and asteroids, expanding a starting lore of the worlds around the Earth. As for the visual part, the game would be made in half realistic half cartoon way to make sure that the environment looks realisting but yet fantasy-like, since a lot of the games lore is fictional.

A stranger appears in one of the biggest cities of Paloria, and seems the same as any other citizen, although there is something odd and peculiar about him. Players take the role of this stranger, a warrior by the name of Gradius, who has a power of channeling his emotions into something very powerful. Depending on how the player would act and interact with the game world the certain emotion would increase it's power inside the hero, granting extra ways to solve problems. For example if Gradius takes too much damage from enemies or fails too many quests, he may fall into rage phase, where he uncontrollably starts destroying anything in his way or acting way more aggressive towards people. Or if the hero solves everything peacefully and manages to help even more to the people in need, he will gain more of happiness power. There are 4 main phases of hero with many side branches of powers-ups: Rage, Happiness, Sadness and Neutral.

The game is to be played out as a third person adventure in a mixture of steam-punk and medieval theme.

Chivalry: The Great Battles is a mod for Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, where the player takes role of one of the classes and enters a massive battle of either 100 vs 100 or 500 vs 500. The idea is to keep the amount of immersion Chivalry has already provided and add the massive full scale battles instead of 5v5 or 6v6 fights. This mod would allow the player to see and feel how was it during the great and massive battles during medieval times and how it it to face a massive horde of enemies against you. This would also allow massive inter-region battles between players, making it a massive fight that could take hours and maybe even days to finish. Players would also get to experience what was it to play as the commander and overlook at the whole battle from your trusty castle. Players would be able to play either solo offline or with friends including up to 4 player split screen and more via online.

A multiplayer game for two players where each one starts out trying to get as many dates as possible on Tinder and then after a set time they have to swap and try to ruin the dates as much as possible. The person who gets more dates left after the second part wins. The players can also be the dates since the game uses Tinder as a platform for the match-ups. Another function is that the dates wouldn't know if the person is playing RtD or not. That is made so that the person won't have any impressions about his or her date before the actual chat starts. Also the game would include a full report system in case the player goes way too far, so that he or she would get notified or worse, banned for a short period of time. The game would be made for mobile platforms only and for free.
