Platforms:

Farm Bowl will be available for all VR devices that support motion controls.

Concept:

In Farm Bowl players are farmers who have become bored and decided to have some fun.. you have set up your own big bowling ally. Hay stacks are your pins, the ground has been sprayed full of water leaving you with a muddy run way and you are the bowling ball. The player must do a run up, picking up and maintaining speed for force, then jump before the line choosing which way they would like to slide, for an example, on their stomach and head first, on their back and feet first,on their back tucked in etc. As players slide they are able to have some type of control over where they move. Each type of slide has its own advantages and disadvantages, based on three main statistics:

Control, which shows how well the player is able to control their slide.

Power, which shows how much speed a player gains ( if high) or loses ( if low) when they are sliding.

Area, which shows how much area the player covers (the more area they cover the more pins they hit)

The game is a party game so is meant to played with at least two or more players and follows a normal bowling point system and game.

In Galaxy Tree the player is a tree floating through space with fruits made up of stars.. the player clicks on the fruits that give off bursts of different colored lights and sounds, reaching out and grabbing on to the floating planets that go past.

the players main focus is to create the biggest center of gravity while keeping the tree's song going. The player is able to increase his/her center of gravity by collection more and more things with their branches, while to keep their song going the player must click onto the trees fruits before a certain time.

Jugalings will be available on all portable touch mobile devices.

Concept:

Jugalings is a game in which the player has accidently dropped his/her hot dumplings at the restaurant, but was fast enough to stop them from falling with their chopsticks and must juggle them back up to the table. As with games like fruit ninja the player must tap and swipe to keep the dumplings from falling to the ground, they must be careful not to hit or slash the middle of the dumplings as this will create a hole, ruining the dumplings. The game carries on through the levels, with each level getting exponentially harder as new obstacles are put in place. The game ends when the player has either let 10 dumplings fall to the ground or be ruined. Players are given points for how many dumplings they have saved and how well they time their hits. Players will also be able to use "the eye of the tiger" which slows time, but more dumplings fall, this special move lasts for 20 seconds.

Dsylixea (dyslexia) will be available on computers, nintendo 3ds and portable touch screen devices.

Concept:

Dsylixea (dyslexia) is a educational game aimed to help dyslexics with the common dyslexic traits such as spelling, understanding sentences, converting their mental pictures and connecting them to words, mathematics, left from right, the months of the year and so on. Following in the foot steps of the nintendo memory games and other educational games players will gain points and medals / acheviments that can be shared with other players or used to buy rewards. The game will have a range games to help dyslexics from all ages and with different degrees of dyslexia.

The game will be a collection of games, an example of these would be: a game in which the player would be given a sentence and a number of pictures some more abstract then others ( to acount for certain words such as "the") and be told that they must link the words to the pictures together so that they are able to link the pictures in their heads to words and so better understand sentences.

The game would also help players better understand them selfs and the way their brain work, letting players be able to interact with each other in communities so that older player could help younger players through their troubles and anxiaties with their dyslexia.

The team behind the game would work very closely with dyslexia experts so that every aspect is as helpful as possible.

( ps. I feel I have to say that the title of the game is not making fun of dyslexics, as being one my self i know that all would most probably find it funny.)

Platforms:

Heel will be available on all platforms however its main platform will be on VR.

Concept:

In Heel the player plays in the perspective of a super villain, having to fight heroes, manage their own minions, assets, evil base, traps and the likes that any self respecting cliche super villain would. The player will be able to fully customize every aspect of their super villain starting out from the very beginning even the reasons as to why as a little boy or girl they decided to make a career of villainy. The road to world domination however is not easy as like in most of anything the heroes always win.. or at least are way too over powered. The games fighting mechanics and difficulty will be closely resembling that of dark souls ( if the players are playing the game in VR; the player will need to use his/her body to quickly move away) players will need to think of smart, innovative, or extremely skillful ways to beat their hero, because even if the villain has super powers ( more often than not they don't) the hero always has the advantage. The game will have a story line in which player can choose to follow, however like in other games such as Skyrim the player can choose to progress with out following it.

The many things that players will be able to customize will be costumes, signature moves/laughs/attacks and many more.

(Heel is a term used in wrestling for the wrestler who is playing the supposed bad guy)

The player must be careful however as not all candidates are as they seem, some are infected but not showing signs, others may have already gone insane and there may even be canibals or murderers in the groups. The game ends when the player has selected 5 others to stay with them in the bunker, at the end of the game the player is shown the out come of his/her choices, if they survived or not and are graded on the choices that they make.

Before they can do this, the player must learn to move and act like a human as the disguise is only cosmetic and will not alter their movements to fit.

Players are given different levels in which they must move and solve puzzles reflecting normal human life. The player cannot be caught by the humans, so must either hide or blend in by mimicking the way the game humans walk (which is comedic and outlandish, getting harder as the game progresses). The game ends either when the player reaches their ship, or is caught by the government.

Gravity Field will be available in pc and console platforms.

Concept:

Gravity Field is a roguelike game in which the character must find his/her way out of a dungeon of various floating islands. To get to the next island by teleporting, the player must first traverse through the entirety of the island he/she is on. But because of gravity the player has to get to the strange unknown technologies called gfc (gravity field changer). The gfc flips the islands sides around and locks the player down to that sides gravity. On each island there are puzzles, loot and monsters that get progressively harder with each island getting bigger and bigger.

Story and Style:

Gravity Field is set in a high fantasy cyber punk world (like hyper light drifter).

The player has just woken up in this small mysterious floating island with nothing but a wooden sword and the clothes on their backs... you don't even remember your name.. or gender.. or race.. strange.. and whats this weird voice telling you what to do? (The tutorial guy) The player must forge onward and find out the mysteries of this dungeon figuring out what happened for you to end up as you did.

The games true story is that the player has been hit by a car and put into a coma like state. As they progress through the game small hints of this will be given. Each stage will act and be designed around this concept. With the final goal being that once the player manages to leave the dungeon he/she will be able to get out of his/her coma.

Concept:

The Devil On My Shoulder is a three player game in which one player plays as the main protagonist that can only see in first person in a number of interconnected levels that he/she must make it through alive; however they (think) have a devil and a angel on their shoulders speaking to them. The devil and the angel are the other two players. Both players have a full view of every level, and the ability to talk to the main protagonist. However for each level the devil and angel players are given a set number of tasks that they must try to get the protagonist to complete and one end goal that will either kill the protagonist or help them through on to the next level, these tasks change with every level. So because of this the roles of devil and angel change between the two players.

The protagonist must decide which player is the devil and which player is the angel for each level. For each task complete the angel and devil players gain points. The game ends when either the player dies in which case both the protagonist and the angel player for that level lose; or if the player makes it through all levels the protagonist wins. Between the devil and the angel (if the protagonist has won), the player with the most points wins.

Concept:

Anxiety is a game in which the player is a group of 4 preteen girls whos friend has mysteriously gone missing, as you have been looking in the area she was last seen you have come across a strange small dog. The strange dog can send feelings telepathically and understands you! This is when your adventure begins.

The game is a supernatural detective horror, in which the player has control of all 4 preteen girls. Each girl has a special sensitivity to different supernatural events, as well as different anxiety meters. The player must look for clues of where the girls friend is with each girl keeping in mind their separate sensitivities, and uncover the truth. If the player exposes a girl too much to a supernatural event that she is not sensitive to; her anxiety metter goes up. The higher the anxiety meter is the more the girl sees things that are not there and the more the game plays with the players perception of things, even going as far as pitting the girl against the others in the group. Once a girls anxiety meter hits full she will 'disappear' in verious ways depending on the players previous choice. The strange dog acts as a helper giving the player feelings of what may be next ( using feelings as to deliberately make the player have to interperate the vague information) . The game ends when the player has managed to figure out the truth behind the girls disappearance or all 4 girls have 'dissappeared'.
