(In-class prompts)
"Deep Sea Extreme Chess"
Mobile/tablet game for casual gamers, touch-and-drag gameplay with capabilities for online and offline play.
At a basic level, it's a chess game skinned to be ocean-themed, with pieces shaped like various fish and with 3D ocean environments like coral reefs for the boards. The USP is the random events included to unbalance the game - for example an undersea earthquake renders certain spaces unusable, a fishing line removes a piece from the board or a change in tide flips the board so that players now have to use their opponent's pieces.
"Global Warming Denial Team"
PC/mac/mobile/tablet, a comedy tower defense game. The user plays as a politician in their office fighting off waves of scientists presenting them with proof of climate change, using items such as security guards, caltrops, oil slicks, and coal-powered laser weapons. At the end of each level the water level begins to rise, forcing the politician to relocate to a new office on higher ground. The game is won when there are no offices left to relocate to and the world is entirely covered in water.

1. Citizen Gravel
3D platformer for console and PC aimed at children (6-11). Play as a sentient rock unearthed by humans from a quarry, as you defend the earth from evil plant creatures and try to become an upstanding member of the community. Powers available include rock throwing, quicksand, turning into a giant boulder, and more.
2. Budget Rush
PC/Mac. It's a busy day at the office and time for some resource management. You play as the financial supervisor of a small company, and have to effectively manage your losses and gains if you want to stay afloat. As the game progresses your company grows larger or shrinks depending on your success, with the ultimate goal being to survive as long as possible with the largest possible company.
3. Maximum Doubt
LA Noire-style case-based investigations. PC/Mac/console. Play as a reporter who has the ability to tell when people are lying. Interview witnesses and suspects, break into crime scenes, dodge the police chasing you from the crime scenes, and bring to the public the news they should be told about.
4. Notebook Snail
Touch-typing course PC/Mac game, mostly aimed at children but with varying difficulty levels. The player is a small snail student trying to take notes in class by writing in their slime across the page, and the user must type out the teacher's words quickly before they move on. The amount of notes they successfully take determines their grade at the end of the level. The game starts off with slow, simple words, and uses more complex ones with a shorter time limit as the difficulty rises.
5. Medium Judicial Salad
Low poly style PC/Mac game, possibly even an in-browser title. Life is hard in the food business. 'Cook, serve, delicious' style game where you play as a food business owner, taking your lunch cart around the streets of the city. Choose your menu, your route, take and cook orders or bring prepacked meals, and maybe even gain some regular customers! Some might ask you for the usual, some might be fussy, or maybe you'll make some friends along the way.
6. Velvet Mind Wine
PC/Mac/tablet title. Surreal point-and-click adventure game, with an emphasis on story and aesthetic. The inhabitants of a small town are disappearing one by one, and it appears to be linked to the introduction of a new recreational drug. The protagonist's best friend is one of those who have gone missing, and they decide to investigate the source of the disappearances in order to find their friend, and figure out where all these people have gone.
7. Skeleton Sport
Event-based party game for consoles, for all ages. It's the Ghoulimpics, and events are in full swing for all kinds of monsters. Compete competitively or co-operatively with other players to earn medals in events such as rib boomerang, skull toss and tug-of-horror. Potentially motion-based but players should also be able to use a controller.
8. Soprano Voyage
Karaoke game for use with an external mic on compatible consoles or PC. The player has been hired as the entertainment for a one-month cruise on a huge ship, and has to sing their way through each night's performance. (Single or multiplayer.)
9. Conflict Entertainment Fantasy
Open-world RPG parody, drawing from AAA game tropes. PC/Mac/console. Play as the Chosen One in a world where Faction A and B fight for control of something clearly very important, and force your opinions upon the entire population, because you're the strongest one here, and the best qualified, and clearly know what you're doing. Maybe the world is going to end too, and obviously, you will be the one to stop that, all by yourself, without consulting anyone else. It's fun being the main character.
10. Falsify Mask Ball
PC/Mac/console visual novel style game. Murder mystery set during the Venetian Carnevale. A foreign dignitary has been killed, and the only clue to the murderer's identity is their costume. Players must travel the streets of Venice, examining important locations and crime scenes in order to figure out who the murderer really is, their motive, and the reason why no-one seems to want to investigate this crime...
