A game where you work in a factory, assembling a variety of different items used in all areas of life can be made. The view would be of a conveyor belt in a factory and a number of parts will role in on the belt and you must assemble them before the timer runs out and continue until your shift is over. When your shift is over, you get your daily pay and employee score based on how many correctly assembled products with the objective completing all the levels and become the employee of the month. As you continue through the levels, items become progressively more complicated to assemble which adds a challenge so that players don't become bored. Also potentially any item can be assembled so the game did not become visually repetitive and there could also be a competition mechanic between the player and other 'employees' so if you do not complete the quotas by the end of the last level then you have to watch as your work rivals' photo is placed on the wall to show how much better they are than you.

The world is falling into darkness, evil creatures plague the night and invade the day. Borders crack as kings seek power and glory, threatening to plunge the world into chaos and powers long passed are stirring in the deep.

Fantasy, adventure, action-rpg

World: Orodith

Races: Cetirish: human, live on the island nations of Cetirica, said to be born of bears and wolves as they share similar traits and a unique kinship with animals.

Unellan: Human, live in the country of Unell. The most culturally diverse group, which naturally comes with a large owning of land. They are comparably more advanced than their barbaric neighbours but their society is self destructive at best.

Freyn: A large, deer-like people who live in the massive northern forests of Fier and the plain lands of Studtfel in the south. They are a mainly peaceful race but their inner fight for survival is just as strong. They live quite secluded from the rest of the world.

Eldarlim- Elder races: More Commonly known as elves, are the most racially diverse out of all in Orodith. It is said that they once served the great spirits who lorded over this world long ago. Each were created with a purpose and to fulfil that purpose they have grown into very different forms making them truly stuff of legend. All races are descended from the Elves.

Nepheldarlim, Nosfeldarlim, Vareldarlim, Moreldarlim, Kahzeldarlim,

Nepheldarlim: The first to rise. A race of giants originally tasked with minding the expansive lands and great heights but they were also shepherds to creatures who could not find their own way. Once seen all over, they were last seen in the far icy north and have become known only as frost giants in stories to scare children.

Nospheldarlim: The second to rise. They watch the night and kept evil spirits and creatures from ruling the darkness in which they dwell. It is said that the evil of their enemies eventually corrupted them and they disappeared in the east and never returned. In their absence, the dark creatures now rule the night.

Vareldarlim: The third to rise. Arcane warriors sworn to protect the lands from the evils within and to keep peace throughout. They have defeated many a evil force. As the younger races began ably defending themselves, the warriors retreated to their mountainous fort cities ready to aid when needed.

Moreldarlim: The fourth to rise. One of the smaller of the Eldarlim, these are the most spiritual. They watch over the passing of the dead through the great forests to the next life , making them fierce guardians of spiritual grounds, as they continue to be.

Kahzeldarlim: The fifth to rise. Another shorter member of the Eldarlim. The great spirits that ruled the lands had tasked them with the exploration of the underground and have excavated much of the mountains in Orodith. Being born craftsmen, they create many weapons and construct mighty underground cities and city forts above. They say the great spirits longed for the vast wealth that lay beneath the mountains of the world but others believe that they longed for something else.

Upri: With creatures in the dark growing in power, one of the most powerful was the Upri. They began to walk like men and spoke with their own language, forming clans and giving names. They had risen so quickly that dark magic was thought to be cause. The Upri are infectious and can turn others to a similar state if they don't kill them first. They once amassed a great horde and assaulted Unell but were eventually driven back into the tundra of far eastern Meskva.

Bodark: A group of werewolves who were once men and women that have chosen to forsake their former selves and become great hunters and warriors. Said to be originally created by the Vareldarlim to combat the overwhelming enemies of times past, but now they are their own people.

Heitners: Hailing from the northern Heitlands of Cetirica, they are a hard and robust people who defy all who try to subjugate them. They share many similarities with their southern cousins but they have distinctive red or blonde hair and high resistance to the frosts that cover their home.

Draken: A race of dragon people who were spawned by ancient powers to take the world as their own but were defeated by the worlds protectors and have long been extinct....

Play as a member of a pandemic response team who tackle potential disease pandemics across many planets in the galaxy. You are part of the security detail who ensures the safety of the medical staff, patients and their equipment. Your team is called to an inter-planetary space station that has been reported to have had an outbreak of a disease that has been spreading on the planet below and urgent measures must be taken to combat the spread as there have been reports of unusual behaviours from the infected. When you reach the station you learn that the outbreak has spread and half the station has been sealed off as the residents tell you that the infected become very aggressive, unresponsive to normal human interaction and began attacking and killing everyone around them. After multiple failed attempts to treat the infected, a plan to find the source of the disease so that a vaccine can be made before HQ initiates the Gromme Protocol to cleanse the infected areas. This means that you and the team have to navigate through the quarantine to the shuttles that enable travel to the surface so you can search for patient zero, this means that you will be forced to kill any infected that try to attack you in order to make it through the mission alive and healthy.

This is a very difficult task to take on and can even be considered a suicide mission as the teams mettle will be tested as they try to survive through hordes of infected as well trying to navigate a space station which has fallen into disrepair, making for a dramatic and tense time. The infected people are not mindless killing machines, they are still people who are scared and dying, coupled with the mind effects caused by the disease, making them violent and unpredictable, but some who are not as infected may be willing to help you but deciding to trust them can mean you compromise your mission and your team will die.

I took inspiration for this from Dead Space, and the Star Wars zombie comic book series.

A third person, sci-fi action, adventure online sandbox game. Join a group of hunters and hunt dinosaurs and dragons across the Rinfali system. Travel to different planets and hunt a variety of interesting alien creatures that are unique to their home planet. All of these creatures are highly dangerous and not to be underestimated as hunting in a group is recommended. You can hunt alone but in a hunting party you take on creatures of greater size and difficulty. Fly ships in space and in orbit as well there being a large choice of land vehicles available which you use to track prey across the varying landscapes and take on the largest creatures each planet has to offer.

Each planet has a functioning ecosystem of exotic creatures that have their own behaviour patterns. Alpha creatures of each pack you find are mini-bosses that have the potential for a big payout but are harder to kill and if the party fails, the alpha becomes larger and more dangerous while becoming unique with battle scars and so on. At the moment three planets have been thought of for players to go to:

1- Meyfor: A habitable planet closest to the sun, making it quite arid with plateauing mountain ranges and huge cave systems.

2- Rinfal: The second habitable planet and the capital of the Rinfali system. An arboreal planet and the most hospitable in terms of flora and fauna, so it is the most populated.

3- Enuurn: The third habitable planet with most of the surface being water with archipelago, jungle continents and undersea landscapes.

Parties can raid other parties and their ships or bases to poach whatever they have gathered from their adventures and effectively become pirates which can mean bounties will be placed on them, opening the door for parties taking on a bounty hunter role. Players can pool funds together and buy ships in order to travel to others planets. In space combat, one player pilots the main ship while other players operate turrets or small fighters and carry out extra vehicular assaults and board the enemy ship. Parties can raid settlements and gain money that way but also incur the wrath of law enforcement and the posting of bounties. Ships, weapons and gear can all be upgraded and customised to fit play styles and emblems can be created to emblazon armour and show who you roll with. Parties or crews are encouraged but players do not have to fully commit to a group where then the game places you in. It is instead used in a less official way, making it a little more social and more like real life.

These dinos are clever your average lizard and have the ability to build dens and create hunting strategies and even make alliances with other species. Another goal of the pack is to grow in numbers by either adding dinos from outside the group or making their own. When nests are made, they must be protected by outsiders who will be trying to hinder your growth so their own dominance can grow. This game has the potential for multiplayer with groups duking it out for control or allying to take down larger enemies and so on. Each player's dino grows in size with experience and other attributes such as speed and strength can be increased as well as adding customised patterns or pieces like feathers, horns, spikes and create your own unique member of your chosen species.

There is a man named Rob walking the earth with the ability to explode at the slightest touch, meaning that he must travel alone, keeping everyone outside of arms length. Although exploding can be considered quite deadly, Rob is largely unaffected apart from the fact that he loses his clothes each time. Everything around blows up, buildings, cars, people and he leaves quite the trail of destruction so he travels alone in search of somewhere he can live in peace but people seem to harass him at every turn. These people try to catch him or kill him for being to dangerous, others try to use him for their own plans but whatever happens, Rob always seems to be blowing stuff up. This can sometimes leads to Rob going explosive rampages through towns, cities and so on in an attempt to escape, leaving him alone and butt naked as always, scrambling for clothes from a washing line. Follow Rob on his explosive journey in search of peace and quiet, but with his powers and terribly cynical attitude and short temper could see this dream never come true.

A game where you are a creature that emerges from an ancient tree in a grove in the depths of a cave, you then climb out, ready to explore the world. The creature can grow in size, which is dependent on exposure to a mysterious red stone which can be both helpful and/or hindering when adapting to the world. You can find villages and become part of their culture by protecting them, providing them with resources, building things for them etc. But it is possible for the village to expand and become a town, city or metropolis. These people could become evil and commit evil acts upon other societies; you can decide to allow them to continue their path, help them or punish them by stopping them or destroying something of theirs or obliterating them entirely. You can also allow people, plant and wildlife to on your back and create a walking city. You can live in the vast oceans and explore their depths. This may drown whatever is living on the creatures' back.

Your size will affect how you interact with the world and its wildlife. Where you choose to spend your most of your time can cause you to evolve in order to adapt to your environment; like growing fur in snowy places. or webbed feet in water. You may become a vengeful and malevolent creature; wreaking havoc and stealing riches and hoarding them away in a mountain where warriors come to try and slay you. It;s possible to find other colossal creatures hidden or wandering throughout the world and interact with them.
