You have just moved into a nice new neighborhood. A nice little house with a white picket fence and the neighbors are all welcoming you with open arms and meatloaf as gifts. You smile back telling all of them you're so glad to know they're all so friendly since you don't know anyone around here. What you don't tell them is that both you, and your partner, are full blown psychopaths. For you smiling is a chore to make sure people don't figure out your secret.

The game is played from the first person perspective and the game world is based in a huge sprawling neighborhood. The games goal is to make sure that people don't find out your secret. For as long as you can until you would have to move onto another place. One challenge though is your bloodlust. Both you and your partner can't go a few days without making sure at least one other person doesn't make it to the end of the day. You have plenty of ways of doing that ranging from poison, to pushing someone from a bridge all the way to rocket launchers. You just have to make sure it doesn't trace back to you. You can house guests, throw a barbecue and be friendly with all the locals while choosing a target. If you do go too many days without a kill you will end up losing the game.

You sit on a toilet. While doing your business you hear a noise. It almost sounds like flushing but at a great distance. All of a sudden it feels like the world disappears then reappears. You're falling. You land in some water and it's so dark you cannot see a single thing around you. Suddenly light explodes around you. The light doesn't seem to be coming from anywhere. You hear a voice from above but cannot see who or what it is "The game is simple. Climb to the top of the bowl!" You finally realize you are actually swimming inside of a giant toilet. You are not the only one. "Only one can escape, the rest.... will be flushed!"

The aim of the game is to be the first one to the top. There are crack up and down the toilet bowl and you can see floating around you is a few plungers, these will be the things you use to scale the bowl. The game will be a cinematic with random button prompts that you have to follow exactly to successfully climb. Failing will result in you falling. The more you fail the faster you fall. The button prompt will increase with difficulty as you rise. In both speed and complexity. There will be a timer you have to beat. If it counts to zero it means one of the ai contestants have made it to the top and you will be flushed. If the game roster is full of players there will be no timer.

The game is first person. Two player game. There will be no cursor in your screen. You cannot turn at all. You can only look up or down. If you look down you will notice that you are on a platform. There is no movement at all. There will be a beep notifying the players that the draw will be called soon. No actual timer for the players because we want draw to be based on reaction. Once draw has been called the player will turn as fast they can and try shoot the other player. When the cursor appears it will not be straight in the middle of the screen to add a bit more skill to the act of shooting the player. The platform that either player are on will not be parallel so the platforms will be all over the place. This makes it so that the player will have to find them before shooting. The game will be an arena sort of set up. So you will enter a game with a player. It will be a first to three, players changing position every game.

You are a newly crowned king. Late one evening while you are alone in the throne room you hear a voice. You look around the empty room but no one is around. You hear it again you get up off your throne and move forward looking for the source. The voice speaks up louder this time from behind. You turn to see a young boy sat on your throne. Anger rises in you taking great offence in this but just as you're about to speak you notice the boy looks different. He seems aged yet young. Something seems off. Before you can say anything he speaks up. "It's your turn, You are the lucky king who gets to try best us. By us I mean the ancient ones. You hear of us in the stories you tell your children to make sure they don't act out. We've been around for a very long time and every thousand years we march across this land wiping out every last being we can find. This warning has been issued to the king of the land three years prior to every march. We're hoping for a challenge this time although we don't expect much, every time it's the same old boring easy task. But never the less we still do it. You have three years to prepare. Have fuuuun". With that the boy disappears. You sit back in your throne directly where the boy sat. Feels cold to the touch.

This is where the game begins. You realize the boy was not joking. That those stories are true. That war is coming and you have three years to prepare for it. Do you tell your people. Do you hide it. How do you prepare for it. Building armies? Building fortifications? How do you afford it? Do you tax the people hard? Make people or even children work to get the army ready. These are all choices as king you have to make. The people may resent you or love you. All the choice made before will affect every choice you make after. But after the three years the war will come and will you have done enough to make sure you are not wiped out like the nations before you.

The game will take place mostly in the throne room where you will give tasks to your people on a weekly basis with reports on how they went after and allotted time. The will also be a walking simulator element to the game where you can choose to walk your kingdom in certain areas seeing the impacts your choices are having on the world around you.

The grenades will also affect the terrain, changing it with explosions

Type of grenades.

The game will be a puzzle game. The goal is simple, get to the other side. The only problem is that whichever direction you step you slide until you hit something as the floor is made of ice.Therefore if you step in the wrong direction you could slide somewhere you don't want to be. There will generally be a set way to get to the other side. The levels will get harder as you go and the consequences for sliding the wrong way will get more extreme, eg there could be holes or spikes in some directions. the game could be played on anything with a directional pad or even on a mobile with touch screen, just slide your finger the direction you want to move.

The game will be played on a mobile phone with tilt motion. At the bottom of the screen there will be a plate which has the ability to slide when you tilt the screen. eg tilt the phone to the left and the plate will slide to the left. The level will begin with a piece of bread falling, then followed by delicious sandwich fillings (chicken, tomato, lettuce and so on). At the end of the level the top piece of bread will fall to complete the masterpiece that is a sandwich. The game will work with a level system and each level will get harder. The fillings will fall faster and more unpredictable, sauces may fall which will be a like a continuous stream you have to catch. Losing will come down to not catching enough of the fillings. You should never waste any food....

Taking inspiration from my road home tonight. The game involves you riding down a traffic jammed motorway on a motorbike. Using the motorbikes size to your advantage you are going in between traffic to get to your destination faster. This will require focus as if you drift off a little you might hit a car. To add to that you will also have to avoid the absolutely horrible drivers who don't know what indicating is or what mirrors are used for. These cars will cause issues if you ram into the back of them at high speeds. You can either brake really hard which isn't always successful or use the space they were going to move into. The game works off a high score system. The further you get the higher the score. The difficulty increases the more you play as more and more "idiots" will pull into your path more and more often.
