This is a simple board game. In this game there is a main map of a sushi train. Players draw one character card from the character deck( each character has their own eating habits, such as; they don't eat raw fish, or they only like spicy food), and choose a place in front of the sushi train to sit. Shuffle the main deck( the deck of cards contains all the different sushi and drinks) and put 3 cards face down on each plate. When the game starts, each player has 3 zones (sushi plate, back up and your plate), their backup, their plate and the bin. Start with 5 cards from the main deck in their backup and no cards in the bin or plate. Each turn each player can look at the 3 cards on the sushi train and they can choose to either

  • take an item from the sushi cart onto the plate and one from their backup at random into the train
  • Take no items from the sushi train and put one at random from their backup onto their plate.

At the end of the turn if any character has any food they cannot eat on their plate at the end of the turn they end up in the bin.

There are some special cards on the train as well, players may draw some special cards (instants or standby) which can be used for things like getting the sushi you want or swapping something from your opponents plate with something on yours. Special cards will be mixed into the main deck randomly.

At the end of the game, which player get full thirst and hunger for their character (reach the character needs ) who wins.

This is a 2d action game in which players play as either sushi train guards or burger bandits. The idea of the game is that the burger bandits are attacking a sushi train in a very stylised cartoon adventure. The game has quick rounds of sushi guards using wasabi guns to fight of the fast food and defend the passengers or the cargo, While the burger bandits use ketchup guns to fight off the sushi train guards. The creativity comes with the different kinds of sushi and burgers having different abilities and little stats to help win the game.

Both in multiplayer and in single player the games are designed to be short 1-3 minute matches with the plan being to have quick fast paced action. In multiplayer there are two teams of 4. The gameplay being like a cross between the 2d fast pace of a game like hotline miami with the team co-ordination of counterstrike all in a cartoon style. Each team gets to quickly select what type of sushi or burger they want to be before getting in the mission.

Some mission ideas
Bank cargo - There is a safe filled with packets of salad dressing. Bandit team wins if they can steal it.

Passenger protection - Burger bandits have to attack the sushi train and take out all the passengers while the train guards defend it.

Hostage release - Sushi guards have to storm the train and free the sushi passengers.

There is a single player arcade mode in which the player tries to get the most points and beat timed challenges in the above modes. There will be unique single player game modes like a longer passenger protection mission where you have to protect the passengers and get points for how many sushi make it to the customers with bonus points for more expensive types of sushi.

VR multiplayer motion control game in which two players must use the motion controls to fight with each other with different weapons across the room for players to select from the fun part is that the weapons are like ropes or rubber chickens and aren't good weapons for fighting the fun comes in waving the ropes or different weapons around trying to hit your friends in the game. The idea begging to get the difficulty controlling things fun of games like octodad of I am bread in controls to VR without actually making a game with bad controls. So the idea is for the players to try and parry and fight using ropes instead of swords to have players use the physics to fight in game in a way like games like gang beasts. Players can choose different arenas and life totals as well as set different scoring zones.

This game is inspired by the Artifact universe written by my friend(who gave me the okay for this idea). The story is focused on three factions in the artifact universe, the paramilitary police group Prometheus, the cult of the Rising hand, and the corporate private military specialist working for Fountain . Players play as fighters in different factions in both PVE and PVP matches. In PVE matches players are sent on co-op or solo missions to secure artifacts for their respective factions, with different factions having their own unique kinds of missions. Which helps players get different artifact gear which they can use on missions. Artifacts give the user the power to summon elements to help them in fights, whether it be to summon walls of hardened crystal to block bullets or create fire to burn them.
In PVP missions are team based with players choosing a faction to fight for Rising hand may have missions to take hostages and assassinate key political figures while Prometheus may have missions to protect hostages and Fountain will have different goals. Players must use their artifacts guns and equipment to get the objective and win the game.
