The sun is fading as it nears the end of its life, and it's your job to manage the evacuation of the population still on earth. The vast majority of the human race now lives among the stars, but there are still billions living on earth. The process of evacuation will take hundreds of years, as the construction the interstellar ships is lengthy, difficult, and hideously expensive. Another factor which will make things more difficult is that as you evacuate, the sun's light will get dimmer, making the resources of earth dwindle as processes and systems fundamental to earth's operation slow until they eventually stop. Trees will stop growing and solar power will cease to exist. Earth has not got access to the resources and expertise that is available in other star systems inhabited by humanity, but you must make do with what you have. The population itself will grow ever more anxious as successive generations become ever more aware that the days are getting darker. In this planet-sized management game you must keep earth's infrastructure, resources, and morale functioning for just long enough to pack up shop and get everyone out.

'Through the Hero's Eyes' will be a RTS which takes the same concept as games such as Warcraft and Age of empires, but this game is played in VR. At first thought it may seem a bit strange having a RTS in VR but the main concept would be to be a sort of 'God' looking down onto the battle field over your troops and enemies. The main role of the VR would be the ability to move your soldiers into certain positions on the battle field at the beginning of the round. There will be different races that you can choose from such as elves, humans etc.
When you are in game there will be a beginning phase where you will have twenty minutes to gather resources and train troops. In this phase you will have to gather gold, wood, food etc to prepare as many troops as you need for the oncoming battle. Then the battle phase begins and you must command your troops like in 'Age of Empires' birds eye view, using your VR controller to position them in correct format.
Each race has a main hero which during the battle phase the player can switch to this character and play as him/her along side your fellow troops in first person view, using your VR controllers as your hero's weapons. As you try to overtake your enemies you will power up your god points which once fully charged you can switch back to birds eye view and use your VR controllers to command special ability's such as lightning, fire, earthquakes etc.

#StudentLife
#StudentLife is a AR/VR physics based game (with a likeness to games such as "Ampu-Tea" and "Surgeon Simulator") where you must create the best (eatable) ramen with the given budget. You start at a kitchen bench, there is a shopping menu to your right which you can select items from which appear on the bench in front of you. You only have a set amount of money per week (level) which fluctuates per week this limits the ingredients you can buy. The real challenge is unpacking and placing all the ingredients into the bowl. At the end of the level, once you have prepared and microwaved your noodles you are then rated on the eatable-ness and taste of your creation.
The ingredients available in-game will be mirroring that of what a Uni student may have available. For example: Ramen, Eggs, Peanut Butter, Bread, Energy Drinks, and even egg carton cardboard (if your running low of funds and you need that extra flavour :P).
Mechanics: AR/VR, Physics, Object interaction, Budget management, etc...
Objective: Experience the Uni student life and create the best ramen possible!
Target Audience: 12+, Male and Female
Genre: First Person AR/VR physics based game
Platform: PC

Bountiful Hunt is a game where you start off as a pathetic bounty hunter. In order to survive, you need a place to rest, gear, and food and drink. Your get rich quick scheme is to kill the most notorious criminals. Beware though, there are separate paths of alignments that you can follow, and each one will set different enemies with random levels of difficulty depending upon where you are. As there are separate alignments, it is possible for you to gain a bounty by pirating, and such. This means that you can obtain a bounty, meaning that you will also be hunted by varying levels of enemies. You will also be able to turn yourself over for the bounty and then break free from the prison. This will be an open world game where completing the main story does not end the game. This game will be similar to Oblivion and Skyrim for its play style.
This game utilises the HTC Vive to simulate the arcade experience.
In this game, you are a child in a classic arcade, who only has fifteen minutes before your parents come to drag you back home. Your goal is to reach a ticket count before your parents catch you. This means having to reach high scores on every game you encounter, and even if you find a game that is overly rewarding, you will soon get kicked off to let other people play. This means the player would have to travel all over the arcade, maximising their ticket intake and deciding whether to wait in line for better, more rewarding games or farming the lesser ones.
Once the player reaches the ticket goal, they then unlock the next arcade, featuring different games and a harder difficulty (harder arcade games and higher ticket goal). There would also be prizes that work as upgrades and unlocks that can change the player's speed and luck, which is unlock via spending tickets or winning through almost impossible games such as the claw machine.

Biggest Fan is a stealth game where you must sneak into a concert and make it to the front by the stage without being spotted or you will be kicked out.
Be careful not to alert any other attendees as they will call for security if you seem suspicious. You must blend in with groups or hide behind objects when security guards pass by or come looking for you.
The time limit will let you know what time the concert will end, make it in and to the stage before the time ends so that you can enjoy the concert for a longer period of time. Your score for each level will be judged on how many guards were alerted, how many attendees noticed you and how fast you progressed through the level.

Dark Asylum is a fantasy stealth action game, which means the player has to kill the target without being noticed. The player can choose their party at the beginning of the game. The player will start a game as a member of the human race, and if they want to play the game on the Vampire side, they can choose to be bitten by the vampire in the city they will begin the game at. If they play game as vampires the purpose is to take over the city under vampires' territory. They will get missions from the head of the vampire union, and the targets will be the humans in high positions in human society. They can either choose to assassinate the target or manipulate the target's mind so they can make political decisions which are good for the vampires. Although it seems like there are more advantages for the vampires' side, they have to drink human blood when they want to restore their health points. Also, they can move faster than humans only at night.
If the players choose the human side, they have to protect the city from the invasion of vampires. The players play the game as a soldier of the army of the city, and the player will be promoted to higher positions as they kill more vampires.
Also the players can make battles occur between humans and vampires to take over essential government buildings such as city hall, and parliament buildings. Basically they can take over any building in the city but if they take over the important buildings it will level up faster and there will be a lot of advantages for the players.

Lazy Cat is a touch screen game, and so it will be a mobile phone and tablet game.
Concept:
Lazy Cat is a strategical Puzzle game.
In Lazy Cat the player plays as a fat lazy blue cat that is so lazy that all he/she wants to do is sleep all day; how ever lazy cats owner wants to keep him/her healthy and doesn't them sleeping all day, and so are always on the poor players case. The player must maintain the cats relaxed meter high and the owners alert meter low by strategically moving the cat around the house into places where the least amount of movement is made but the cat is most hidden from its owner which is always actively looking for the cat. If the cats relaxed meter gets too low the player loses as the cat will be too stressed to sleep and be unhappy. If the owners alertness meter gets too high or the cat isn't sufficiently hidden from the owner he/she will discover the cat and will make them do exercise and the game will end. The whole point of the game is to see how long the player can keep the owner from finding the cat while keeping the cat happy. Players gain points by the amount of time the game is played with point modifiers being higher the fuller the cats relaxed meter is.

Shoot 'Em Down is a simple 3D, shoot 'em up game. In Shoot 'Em Down, the player will ride a hot air balloon to shoot down the flying dragons. The game offers a wide selection of classes to choose from, such as archer, mage, and gunners. The player can choose their favorite class and master them.
In order to shoot the dragons down, the player will need to aim precisely. Good timing is also required to successfully hit the dragons. The dragons won't just blindly let the player shoot them down, they will attack the players. When dragon attack, the player will need to put up their shield at the right time.
Other than the shield timing, the position of hot air balloon is something else that the player needs to watch out for. If the player travels too close to the dragons, they might get swarmed by more than they can handle. If this happens, the balloon will get damaged and force the player to retreat.
In this game you will be playing as a traffic cop and trying to spot the drunk drivers, you must pull them over, breath test them and then arrest them.

If damage is caused to others or the town points will be deducted. As you earn more points throughout the game you earn more badges and this is how you build your way up the police ranks.
You play as a rampant lawn-mower and your you have evolved from a simple garden tool. Your new goal is to cut down anything that stands before you.

As you play and progress throughout the game you will encounter NPC gardeners who are trying to stop you from your destructive path. Being gardeners they are experts at making things grow and if you are overrun and become overgrown you lose the game. To achieve victory, you must collect currency to purchase and upgrade your lawn-mower parts allowing you to increase the amount of havoc you can cause.

Moonlight Ribbon is an atmospheric 2D maze game. You play as a character who suffers from nyctophobia. Due to your condition, you live your life behind closed doors but one day hope to see the stars. The more you think about it the more your surroundings become dark and melancholy. Eventually you become surrounded in darkness. For a second you see the stars you wanted to see so much but eventually they disappear, one by one. You desperately chase these stars for a sense of security. Deeper and deeper do you go out into the night's cold embrace. The stars have led you astray, down into a labyrinth with only the moon peering over you. The moon is smiling; a sad smile.
In this game, you must find and place shiny objects in the correct place to reflect moonlight across the path in order for you to move. Throughout the game there will be mini challenges in the form of memory puzzles. Light will perform a pattern which you must then repeat back before the timer runs out. As the levels progress so do the difficulty of the puzzles and the amount of shiny objects available decrease.

http://rittik-designs.deviantart.com/art/Dragon-s-Bow-CLOSED-500769650You have a very obedient pug, so well-behaved that they do only and everything you tell them to do. In this game you switch between the owner and the pug. As the owner you are only allowed to spectate as you guide your pug through an agility course. And as the pug your job is to follow the exact instructions that your owner has just given you. The only thing is that when playing the role of each of these characters you can only see the game from their perspective. Meaning that if you are the owner you can not directly see the course and whats coming up next, and as pug you can only see the course meaning that you have to memorise the commands you have just given. As the obedient pug however, you have to follow the commands as exact as possible, even if they are not what you need to do next in the course. This means you can not see what steps to do next as the spectator. You can only see the course through the eyes of the pug. This may prove difficult as while you are following your own commands (owners) you also need to think of the next steps ahead.
I'm surrounded by twits
These guys, look at them. They have no clue what they're doing.
I've seen chickens that walk around with more purpose than what these guys are doing.
Ever felt like that? When you're in a multiplayer game like League of Legends, World of Warcraft or Dawn of the Ancients 2 and you see these idiots on your team acting like cows with 10 foot poles up their ..
Here, we found a solution. Well, not so much a solution. More a form of release.
That's right, you could have guessed it. In this game you beat the living crap out of teammates in multiplayer game simulations. Use knives, brass knuckles, baseballs bats. Pretty much any kind of weapon you can think of, we added it. Customise your 'enemy' to make them appear more realistic as you wallop them into playing correctly.
- Not suitable for people: aged under 18, new to multiplayer games or an internet troll. Because self-harm is not the answer

This is a 3rd person online survival game set in an apocalyptic world where 80% of the population has died to darkness. On a random night the moon disappeared and everyone left in pitch black fell over dead. Due to the low amount of population left there is no one to keep the electricity going. During the day you must gather enough resources (firewood, books, anything you can burn) to keep a fire large enough to keep light on your camp for the night duration.
The game is set 20 years after the great darkness and there is a shortage of fuel for fire. During the day the player must gather guns, ammunition and fuel for fires. As this is an online survival game other players can come and raid you. You can either team up with other players to survive or kill them to take their resources. If you die you start again in a random spawn location and other players may loot your corpse.
The game is a first person shooter set in a world without light. The player is unable to see anything and must use the bullets in his gun to light up the area. Each time the player shoots his field of view is lit up and the view is saved to "memory", so the player is left with a sort of 3d photo graph of what was in front of him.
If there where any enemies in front of the player at the time they will also be lit up and saved to memory however the enemies themselves will keep moving in the game world. So the player must then predict where they will be in order to kill them.
The main resource in the game is bullets. They are essential for movement in the game, but using too many may leave the player with no way to defend themself or get to the end of the level.
Thanator is a third person action game that has the player control a deranged civilian as they try to warn the world of the impending alien invasion. You aren't human. In fact you're a member of an alien race called the Kerrish'ak. The player finds themselves abducted by, a now space faring, humanity. Humanity has become a desperate resource draining species, now the Kerrish'ak have the 'honour' of being next in humanities endless quest for resources. The Lone Alien finds themselves freed by a member of the human invaders, becoming a sleeper agent of sorts. Slowly they come to understand that humanity may be more than just simple monsters. Explore a breath-taking alien world, with its own society and rules. This battle is more than just good or evil, right or wrong. It's the rules of nature at its finest and one species is going extinct. You decide who wins in this war of natural selection.
A stealth based game where you play as the classic teenager locked in his/her bedroom and you've hoarded a collection of dishes. The goal of the game is to collect all the dishes from your room, stack them, then get them to the sink before anyone sees you. The player will have 15 seconds to scan the room and find all the dirty dishes. The you will have 5 minutes to sneak downstairs and dump them in the sink. The game works by the parents tracking the clinking sounds of the dishes. The faster you move, the more sound you make. The first few levels will have one parent patrolling the house looking for you. The challenge will be in navigating the house quietly while avoiding obstacles like younger siblings' toys and clothes left lying around that could make you stumble and make more noise. As the levels progress, another parent will pop up as well as pets who will bark/meow at your approach. This will alert people to your position. In the later levels a snitching sibling will aggressively hunt you to find any opportunity to shame you or get you in trouble.
