Dunedin Student Flat.

Dunedin Student Flat is a party game for up to 8 players set in a student villa. The aim of the game is have the lowest score at the end of 4 mini games. The game is scored with pineapple lumps and promotes success by punishing those who do poorly by making the controls more difficult for the player. The mini games are as follows.

Bike Jousting. -Bike Jousting is a free for all game where try to knock each other off their bikes whilst staying on their own. Being knocked off results in a pineapple lump and coming first lets you give out three pineapple lumps to players of your choice.

Juice Pong.-Juice Pong is a free for all game where the players stand around a circle table trying to roll ping pong balls into the opposing team's cups (two per player). Each player has a slow moving barrier to try and defend his cups but cannot launch while they are defending. When a ball hits a cup the cup is eliminated and when a player has no cups remaining they are out of the game. For each cup a player eliminates they can allocate one pineapple lump to a player.

Possum.-Possum is a game where each player is up a tree trying to finish their bottle of chocolate milk the fastest. A player can choose to either drink or throw acorns at other players. A player may get hit 3 times before they are eliminated and rewarded a pineapple lump. The winner gets to distribute 3 pineapple lumps to his opponents.

Nerves of Steel.-Nerves of Steel is played on the flat roof. Players are standing on the roof waiting for it to collapse. New Students keep joining them on the roof in groups of 1-5. The aim of the game is the jump off the roof just before it collapses. Players will get audio queues about when it is about to collapse. Whoever times it closest to the collapse gets to nominate 5 players to receive pineapple lumps. Any player still on the roof when it collapses receives two pineapple lumps.

Dunedin Student Flat is aimed at the more mature audience which is lacking in party games to play. This game would be released on the PS4 and players would be able to connect with their smart phones. This would make this easily accessible to people who aren't willing to spend money on extra controllers.

Rails is a side scrolling party game for 2-8 players. Each player controls either a rail worker or a bandit in a fast paced struggle for control of the train. Rails is designed to appeal to the people who enjoy playing party games on the couch. With all the tools to outplay your friends like unique power ups, close combat, clutch dodges and even a 8 player free for all, Rails brings the intensity back to couch gaming.

Power ups are an integral part of Rails being the clearest way to gain an advantage over the field. Power-ups will drop from crates and these come in the form of more powerful weapons, advanced fast acting performance enhancing drugs and even time management solutions!

What makes rails different from other similar party/couch games will be the ability to control aspects of the battle arena by controlling where the train goes. From the engine room a user can alter the trains speed, slam on the breaks for hectic brawls at the front of the carriage, send the train into rivers for underwater fights and even drive it off ravines for some free-fall action.

Rails will be released on PS4, Xbox and PC. Due to the player constraints on some consoles (PS4) Rails will support local and internet play. So get your friends together and challenge to world :)
