Based upon an early summative, and a drafted game design document. The player plays as a bio marine engineer in a world that is majority submerged underwater and the local wildlife are biomechanical, organic in behaviour but 100% mechanical is physiology but the catch is the player is still human and will be forced to overcome various options such as food, hunger, oxygen and sleep.

This is an open world survival video game that combines the elements of a sandbox with "Lego-like" mechanics, which players can harvest, hunt and reuse materials from the local wildlife and manipulate them towards being used as something else.

-For instance: A player harvests the propel engine that allowed a tiger shark to swim to be used as a key engine component for a submersible vehicle. The Predator's so called "blood" can be used to fuel the said submersible or act as a fertiliser and resurrect a pre extinct agriculture.

There will be other mechanics the player will have to overcome as they attempt to survive in this mechanical ocean jungle such as: Buoyancy, Light as well as tidal and seasonal migration effects from the biomechanical wildlife.

Should the knight be well rested for the upcoming events he will receive the rewards for participating in the events, should the knight be too tired he will fail and possibly die should it be a quest. As the knight gains experience and level up from performing the tasks, the player will be also be able to manage the knight's stats increasing the knight's survivability and the amount of experience earned from competition of a task and its subject.

For instance: The knight is well energised and has high stats in intelligence, when he completes the "studies with head paladin" he will have an bonus increase experience gained due to the player having high intelligence stats.

Another Instance: The knight stumbles upon a dire flame bear when venturing in the cave, though the knight is tired from the lack of sleep, the knight's stats in combat ensures the knight is able to escape but at a cost of not completing (slaying the flame dire bear) the task and whatever possible rewards.

Roots.
Play as a tree in this competitive global web browser game, as you compete with other trees to become the largest tree of them all. Relating back to biological competition among trees and the intra-specific and inter-specific competition among the species, the game makes full use of the various dynamics of these said relationships:

• Parasitism: Leech off the resource of other trees as you slowly extinguish the competitor of all its natural resources.
• Mutualistic Relationships: Form truces with other trees/ players in the match to provide each other resources for one another and grow large together.
• Predator and Prey: similar to the relationships in a rock, paper scissors game, some trees will predate on other trees but slowly decompose over time should they not find nutrients or grow quickly but move slowly as they obtain resources from the sun.

Chain reaction is a local multiplayer that consists of 4 players with the main objective being to eliminate the other three. Winner takes all, all for one brawl style.

Each player holds on to a barrel of gun powder and as they move, a trail of gun powder is left behind. When players bump into one another, they create sparks which ignite any and all trails of gun powder that is on the ground traveling along the created trail. Should the ignited trail of gun powder reach the player it will explode and the player is sent flying across the map.

Players can attempt to extinguish the trail is to walk over the trail, kicking the trail thus, stopping the chain reaction reaching them or the keg of gun powder. Players can roll their barrel away from them to transfer the chain across an intersection but this leaves the player vulnerable to be crushed should they collide with another player or implode their barrel to detonate other barrels within a vicinity.
