This game takes place in a fantasy setting, and you play as a captain working for a trading company. It will be played from a third person perspective, and you will have to venture across treacherous oceans trying to avoid the terrifying beasts that call it home, while transporting precious magical artefacts. In order to do this you will have to plan out your path on a map, command your crew, and pay close attention to arcane instruments which indicate the presence and direction of local creatures. You will also be able to steer the ship yourself if you wish, or operate its defences as you run around your vessel. Most of the creatures that threaten your ship will be able to sense and be drawn towards the auras of its magical cargo. Knowing this, you will be able to decide what cargo to take, in order to have some degree of control over the threats you will have to face and prepare for. Although the creatures will be gargantuan and powerful, when you encounter them you will be able to fend them off with potent magical defences that you buy with the profits of your trading.

VR game

This games based on a traditional way of collecting honey in primative societies, by this I mean hanging off a cliff face and lowering oneself and then proceeding to hit and sever the honey from beehives hanging on the underside of these cliffs.

With this game being based in virtual reality I feel it would create and interesting level of immersion where the player is hanging above a drop and genuinely feels like they are and when they are swaying side to side in the wind they would feel as much.

The game has a lot of potential to add layers and layers or detail from storms interfering with the honey collection and even a timer to create it into a race. This game would be based at anyone with a vr headset as limited as this is already.

You're attending a party with some friends, but not just any party a onesie party! And on the way there you may have got a little lost, well not you, but your friends. Now you must comb the streets filled with other party goers to find your friends.

Game plays as a top down maze game, where you try to guess which roaming npcs are your friends. All characters are dressed in a range of onesies, ranging in colours and sizes. Your friends have slight differences. Game would work a bit like a giant where's wally, player uses the arrow keys to navigate the maze, only a small portion will be visible at a time. Players will be given a picture of the friends they are hunting and a time limit to find them based on the number of friends and size of the maze. When they think they have found the correct one the player interacts with the npc. If it not the correct person player loses a life. (Three lives to begin with) running out of lives or time will end the game.

Master of Pun-Fu is an action fighter game based around the sacred art of Puns. There are only a select few in the world who are trained in the art, as it is a not very well sought after art, as it is extremely hard to master. Many have sought after the old masters in hopes of being trained by them, but only a select few are chosen.

The main mechanic of the game is word-based combat. You defeat your opponents by making them laugh too much to fight, remember, the worse the pun is, the better it is.

As the levels increase, the difficulty to make puns also does. There will be less dialogue so you must be more picky about what you make into a pun. The first level will be easy, almost setting the puns up for you, while as the game progresses, you must find the pun in the dialogue.

The game is aimed to help teach people the beautiful art of puns. It will be arguably hard, but in the end you will become a master of puns.

The biggest problem for any programmer regardless of skill level is encountering a bug in the code. So Fix the glitch is a game designed to make things easier not only on programming but to also act as a stress relief. The objective is simple. Depending on the setting, you are given a line of code from a specific script of your choosing, the player then has a timer to try and resolve the code. The languages vary from Gml to unreal and so forth. A fun pass time of the game is quick fix mode. A line of working code is presented jumbled up and the player has to re arrange it. The game is intended to serve as both stress relief but also a learning experience. The games intention is fully to increase newcomer knowledge and make things easier in the long run. Players can upload their own code problems in hopes that someone will find fix, or just to pose a challenge.

Genre: comedy, thriller, shooter, horror, adventure, puzzle,

No. of players: 01

Target Audience: Gamers who look shootings games like Doom. A game that is mostly about killing and if you want you don't have to follow the story.

Console: PC- would be on like a 2D sidescroller : Xbox- this would be 3D. like a first person shooter.

MY DRAWING- a few years ago...

Keep Them Warm is a 3D game with beautifully drawn, high-quality graphics. In this game, the player must control the Sun to make sure the species on Earth doesn't get freeze to extinction. The Earth will continue to rotate forever and the player must angle the sun to make sure that the sunlight hit every corner of the planet for as long as possible.

The Earth will start to lose heat if a lot of areas didn't get enough sunlight. If the Earth's heat dropped below 50%, some of the life forms will die. The player can still save the planet if they can raise the temperature fast enough. But they have to be careful since raising the temperature too high will cause forest fire and desert to form.

The Earth's environment will be procedurally generated throughout the game. The player can navigate to any part of the world that they want to check out. They can also take a beautiful screenshot of their sun lighting effects.

A 3D game in close-up 3rd person, where you play as a little robin caught in the midst of large scale human warfare.

Being a bird you can fly, but not that high (around 20m up) and being higher might in some cases be more dangerous than sticking closer to the ground. The aim of the game is simply to escape the battlefield- made very difficult by gunfire, grenades, mines, bombs, shrapnel, vehicles, and other traps. Many of the traps you might not set off yourself but you can get caught in the blast if you're not careful, and it can get confusing when visibility is limited and there are a lot of people running around.

The chance of dying for the little bird is very high, as this game is supposed to give the player a feeling of frustrated desperation, but at an optimum level of vexation to keep trying despite it seeming hopeless.

Also key to the experience of the game is the feeling of flight; the bird's movement needs to feel very smooth and soft, in contrast to the grungy and chaotic surroundings.

Platforms:

The Devil On My Shoulder be available on PC and console, that can be ported to VR.

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.

2D side scroller where you as the character are continuously munching those huge jaws of yours. In search for this particular 'food', you will come across a variety of edibles which will impact the game itself. Such as food that provide utility upgrades to food that will change elements of the game – gravitational changes, Food suddenly try to eat you etc.

Eventually you will come across Soul food which is the primary aim of the game. Soul food is a collectible item required to move on to the next level.

One Game a Day #34.pdf252kb

"With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility" – Uncle Ben

Heroes in movies or games instantly after being gifted their powers somehow mysteriously know how to use them as if they have had them for years; this game strives to be different giving a unique twist on the super hero genre.

Starting out with a basic character creation you will have control over how YOU the player will look, ranging from hair, eyes, build, skin tone and tattoos/piercings, then you will awaken in hospital after hearing about the story of you and several others being caught in a freak storm while out on a boat you are the last to awaken and are discharged, while at home later during the night you discover things are not as they once were with you, and you discover you have these abilities starting with what you assume is the ability to fly.

As mentioned this game will be different and instead of instantly being able to fly you will be forced to learn how to over time, gaining experience by flying itself, raising your ability to fly will increase the length of time you can fly for as well as how easy it is for you to control the player. The flight mechanics involves the player to use the shoulder/trigger buttons to control altitude and speed while the thumb/analog sticks will be used for stability, the higher your skill with flying the easier it will be to stabilize and not fall from the sky.

Not only will the player need to improve and practice these abilities they also will need to improve on their sewing skills to get a better costume, OR if you do not wish to work on that build up your relationships with friends and judge who you feel is trustworthy knowing your secret (perhaps one of them knows how to sew, saving you the hassle from doing so).

Gameplay through the story will mainly consist of the player completing tasks for the locals in the area to build up a reputation (tasks including helping cats from trees, collecting items for elderly, stopping attempted robberies and helping the local police) also an increase to skill level to help a larger area.

The bigger hero the player becomes the more people that will be out to get them, and the more people who know your secret the more chance of the people you love being used against you, can you become the greatest and save your loved ones?

Story: in a world where the nuclear age has reached its first renditions (could be an alien planet). The world's factions seek to become the world's first nuclear superpower. So they employ every possible method to achieve it.

Game: The game would be about three simultaneous things none will really stop at any moment. The game would have one mechanic in which you as a scientist must keep in check the nuclear reactor of your faction by managing pressure and control rods and so on this will be important to keep in check constantly. The control rods positioning will affect the energy output as well.The other would be a 2d sprite of a spy that will travel through the map of the world attempting to steal technology, making decisions and so on, he could even sabotage things this spy would change over time because if he is discovered he would be"eliminated" for instance you could have a spy that becomes a scientist or one that becomes a political or military agent. And the final screen would be used for the player's personal research team this one could only be used while tabbing and that way make it easier for the player to know what to do with it, To do research the player would have to do about moving unstable isotopes to turn them into new elements and so on. How well the player would have to throw them through a small maze and they will have to hit the target or in some cases they will have to arrange them into some shape.

Cops and robbers is a multiplayer stealth game where there is one thief and many guards or cops. The objective of the thief is to steal some kind of treasure or jewelry and the objective of the guards is to stop them. The twist of the game is that all the guards are played by one person, and the guards can only see whats in the cone of their flashlight and everything else will be pitched black. The guards perspective will be in third person looking down at all the guards field of view and can interact with each of them to tell them where to look. The guards will also be equipped with guns but with very limited ammo so you need to conserve it. The thief will be in first person and can see in the dark, once the thief gets the treasure and gets out without dying he then wins.

A FPS where you punch cute girls in the face to destroy the ozone and accelerate global warming.

Play as Tier, an ozone-allergic villain from a planet far away. Tier is sick of the Earth and he wants it gone. In order to let the earth destroy itself, he knows what he has to do: Punch cute emo girls in the face, or more accurately, hair. When Tier punches a girl who is correctly dressed (emo, Geordie - or 80's rockers, anything with a lot of hairspray really) the girl will shriek and explode into a poof of hairspray. As Trump is aware, hairspray is extremely harmful to the ozone and by punching more hairsprayed girls, the ozone layer will quickly all but disappear. Run fast though -- Tier is extremely allergic to ozone (don't question me) and must speed run through cities, punching as fast as he can, before time runs out and he shrivels and dies in welts from exposure to the ozone layer.

Add-Scotch is a mobile puzzle game in which the player must use his fast wits and mathematical skills to hopscotch his or her way to the highest score. The game aims to target casual, more mathematically inclined gamers who wish to kill a minute with some stimulation.

The game takes place over a hopscotch grid where the player will be given numbers which he or she must multiply, add, divide or even square or square root to give the number on the next square, and progress to that square. As the player continues to play, numbers will come faster and problems will become more and more complex as numbers increase. The player must be as quick as they can to get the highest score, measured on distance travelled and response time.

The game would further include social media integration and challenge modes, where players can try to beat their friends scores or compete to be the best out of their friends, or even play their friends head to head.

dinosaur robot alien overlords have taken over earth!! taking every living person hostage! they didn't want war or anything and they dont want to hurt us, just... they ran out of ice cream. yes thats right they're destroying us slowly because they cant get ice-cream, they came billions at a time devouring all the ice-cream and before you know it they were depleting every ingredient and every supplement that could possibly be used to make ice-cream. for us humans this was a problem because it was destroying our plants and pretty much everything else we need to survive.

this game is a story based puzzle hack and slash game where you run around destroying cities with these mecha-dino-aliens one at a time but you must choose wisely which city to destroy, you must strategically figure out which cities are most over run and weigh up the consequence of what resource is in the city that could be used to help the human race. the more aliens you destroy the more resource is made but the more resource you destroy the more humans are taken and the more aliens there are.
