1. B/N WORLD
B / W WORLD is an exploration and adventure 3d game where the
player will find himself having to fight to bring back colors in a
world that is completely black and white.
Hardly anyone remembers what life was like before, and sadness
reigns. Can you bring back the memory of what happened to the
people and save everything from the oblivion of a monochromatic
world?
The purpose of the character (the only one who from the outset will
be colored) is to recolor the world by weapons and unusual other-
worldly helpers (primarily rainbow unicorns and cats, who better
than them), and relieve from the greyness the places that guard the
7 colors of the rainbow (each, once acquired, will give the character
different capacity or the ability to interact with other characters).
Many obstacles will try to stop him, as several enemies that are
characters who lived far too long in a world without feelings nor
joy, and becoming so evil creatures.
Main features
The hero has weapons, items, special
powers and helpers.
Large amount of battle possibilities,
depending on the tool used.
Achievement of objectives and progress
in the narrative.
The game will be graphically unusual, by
using color as the main vehicle for emo-
tions.
Platforms
For tablets and smartphones

7. DIE ON ME
CONCEPT Die on me is a sidescrolling platformer where the player has to make
the character die in order to succeed. Each time you die the character will become
stronger and stronger and dying will be harder and harder! Are you good enough
to die?
SETTING the game takes place in a classic medievalesque enviorment. Mankind
is being devastated by an evil Overlord and no man could ever defeat him. You’re a
mage and you find a way to maybe give humanity back some hope: you developed
a spell wich will enables you to control the overlord and make him kill himself.
GAME GENRE 2D sidescrolling platformer with puzzle game elements
GAME MECHANICS The Overlord starts with a settled number of lifes (still to be
decided) and for every life he loses he comes back with a new ability wich make him
immune to the previous cause of death. Every time you will have to find new ways to
make your character die: sometimes you’ll have to be fast, sometimes you’ll have to
be creative and some times you’ll have to be both. For istance, if you fall into a hole
full of spikes of death you’ll acquarire the skill “iron skin“ and you won’t die anymore
falling again.The character can just moove left or right and jump.
The spell has an expiration time, after which the Overlord will take back control over
himself leading to a game over. With the game progressing you’ll be able to extend
this period of time.
Every time you die you’ll start back always from the same starting point but the abi-
lities aquired each time will allow you to take differnt paths and shortcats to reach
further areas faster.
STRENGHT POINTS OF THE GAME
- change one of the most stable game paradigmas
- will be paradoxically challenging
- fun / humoristic lore
PLATFORM windows pc and mac

11. DISTURBIA
Il gioco si basa sull’interpretazione di una personaggio malato mentalmente che deve
affrontare la vita quotidiana.
Il gioco verrà vissuto attraverso gli occhi della malattia e lo scopo sarà di affrontare le sfide
quotidiane che una persona malata deve superare (dormire, mangiare in pubblico, il buio,...).
La difficoltà del gioco è creata dalla mente stessa del malato. Il gioco sarà ambientato in
penumbra, in un climax ascendente di voci e urla senza corpo, le ombre diventano i tentacoli
che cercano di afferrare e trascinare il protagonista verso un suo incatenamento, mostri neri e
oscuri bloccano il passaggio nel tentativo di uccidere il personaggio principale.
Una delle caratteristiche principali del gioco è che il protagonista non è un eroe, ma un
semplice essere umano, quindi non avrà a disposizioni armi o poteri.
Per riuscire quindi a sconfiggere questi mostri sarà necessario il coraggio del giocatore stesso
ad andare avanti.
Si può prendere come esempio giochi come Slenderman o Silent Hill, ma in quei casi il
giocatore, appena visto il “nemico” tende a fuggire alla ricerca di un luogo illuminato e sicuro
dove sentirsi protetto. Ma la seconda caratteristica di Disturbia è che i mostri non sono “reali”
nel mondo del gioco, ma immaginari e creati dalla mente malata del personaggio principale
stesso, e la loro caratteristica di essere un prodotto della mente rende impossibile riuscire a
scappare da loro in quanto non è possibile scappare da se’ stessi, dalla propria mente e dalle
proprie paure.
Il giocatore, quindi, per finire il gioco sarà costretto ad affrontare questi mostri, affrontando
con loro le proprie paure, correndo loro incontro ignorando la loro presenza riuscendo
quindi a concludere la giornata.
piattaforma: PC
12. DISTURBIA
The game is based on the interpration of a character who is a mental and who has to live the
everyday life.
The game will be live through the eye of illness and the aim will be face everyday challenge a
mental have to overcome (sleeping, eating in public, darkness,..).
The most difficulty of the game is crated by the mind of the ill character. The game will be
lived in penumbra, ascending climax of voices, of shadows that become tentacles which tries
to catch and cage the protagonist and of dark and murky monsters that block the way in order
to kill the leading role.
One of the key features is that the protagonis is no hero, but a human being, so he have no
weapons of superpowers.
The courage of the player will be his only resource in order to defeat those monsters.
One can take as example game such as Slenderman or Silent Hill, but in those cases the
gamer, when he see the “enemy”, he tries to run away to find a illuminated and saefty spot
where he can feel protected. But the second key feature of Disturbia is that the monster aren’t
“real” in the world of the game, but unconsciuous created by the mental mind of the character
himself, and this peculiarity makes impossible to run away from them because it is impossible
to run away from uorselves, our mind and our fears.
The player, in order to finish the game, will be forced to face those monsters, facing his own
fears, running against them ignoring their presence, succeeding in ending the day.
platform: PC
13. Elements Supremacy
Platform: Android/iOS
Target age: 12+
Genre: Isometric View, Exploration,
Fighting.
Long ago, in a world where two Gods
were fighting for the supremacy of
Russel’s Teapot reign, inhabitants had
split according to their belief. Some of
them believed in the Invisible Pink
Unicorn and some others in the Flying
Spaghetti Monster. Those two mighty
Gods have thus granted their
followers the powers of the four
elements of nature in order to
conquer the Russel’s Teapot reign.
Each clan will use fire, earth, air and
water to gain the control of some special artifacts which will increase the power of their God, allowing the
divinity to dominate his opponent and become the Supreme one.
Gameplay:
The player has to search for the artifacts
hidden in the most remote parts of the
reign using characters representing the
nature elements. Choose and switch
among different elements to build your
own strategy up. Enemies and obstacles
will hinder the hunt though, urging you
to use the collected powers to defeat
them. Moreover, the invoked elements
from opposite divinity may as well
interfere with your research by fighting
or anticipating you on the artifacts
research. In order to assure the victory of your God, you will have to either conquer as many artifacts as you
can or kill elements of enemy village using strengths and weakness of every character.
Cooperate with your friends to control more elements at the same time and conquer the supremacy,
challenging other teams. The game combine 2D and 3D, 2D objects create a 3D view.
USP:
• Cooperative mode against other teams;
• Exploit strengths and weakness of elements;
• Interact with the nature of the reign;
• Discover unique features of elements;
• Switch your character during the same match;
• Build different gaming strategies.

14. GUM RUN
Introduction:
The protagonist is a running gum that can change his shape. It has to avoid
hitting walls that stand along the way. These walls are in some parts empty,
so the protagonist has to assume the correct shape to fit these empty spaces
in the walls.
Game Description:
The aim of the player is to draw with his finger the correct shape in a
special space situated in a part of the screen (not defined yet). This special
space represent the incoming wall, the drawn shape represent the shape
that the running gum will assume as it faces the incoming wall, so it has to
correspond to the empty part of this wall. If the shape doesn't fit the empty
spaces, the gum hits the wall → game over. If it fits, it goes on running and
facing another wall.
Analysis of the Market / Unique Selling Point:
Of course there are a lot of games similar to Temple Run, but the actions
that the player can do are always the same: jump, slide, go left or right. I
think that this game adds something new, which is the fact that the player
has to draw the correct position to be assumed by the running protagonist
(i've searched for a game like this and i haven't found it).
Platform:
Devices with touchscreen
Genre:
Endless Runner
Possible game characteristics to be implemented:
• Game becomes faster as it goes on
• Empty parts of the walls become more and more complex
17. Just a fantasy
Platforms: PC, Mac and, if it's possible, PS3/PS4. Mobile controls are not suitable for the game...
When we are children, we have a lot of dreams and nightmares. We want to become astronauts,
superheroes, celebrity gynecologists, and we look under our bed to see if there are any monsters
(except our smelly sneakers). Then, slowly, we grow up and start to forget our dreams and our fears to
substitute them with others...a well-payed job, a great house, an expensive car, and we fear just death,
taxes and government...
What happened to all our dreams and nightmares?
Reality has overcome them, capturing them and reducing the world a really grey and boring place...
Do we really want to live in such a place? No.
Do we really want to keep our fantasies in a dark corner of our mind and forget about them? No.
Do we really want to have bacon? Yes, of course!
Then it's time to fight reality back!
“Just a fantasy” is a 2D platform where you, a fantasy (is up to you if you want to become a dream or a
nightmare) decide to fight against reality, to free all the captured fantasies and to make the world again
a magical and dreamy place...or a terrible and scary one!
Features:
− Use up to...well, a lot of surreal weapons and crazy impossible attacks (you're a fantasy,
remember? You can do anything you want!) to defeat enemies and powerful bosses. Make them
die with cuteness using the Cathrower, or electrify them using the Lightning of Doom!
− Free captured fantasies to get new attacks, and explore the world to discover treasures and new
costumes (like the the Pink Tutu, the Hell Terror or the Useless Armor).
− Are you in trouble? Release all your dream/nightmare power in terrific and insane super
attacks! What do you prefer? A rainbow armageddon by the Four Apocalypse Ponies, or a call
to our old good friend Enola Gay?
− Become more and more powerful getting experience from enemies. Choose what you want to
become: a dream, or a nightmare?
− Explore boring location and transform them with the power of fantasy! Can a convent become a
luna park, or a underground train a yellow submarine?
− Find crazy easter eggs and secret bosses, like Fier Duca Ganzi (references to existing persons
are all intended, of course)
Selling points: humor, craziness, insanity, surrealism, bananas.
Analysis of the market: the purpose of a game is to have fun, right? Than, what's better than a crazy and
comical game? Think of Metal Slug, Rayman, Jazz Jackrabbit, Ratchet and Clank (ok, is a 3D game,
but you got my point), Castle crasher, Earthworm Jim, Daffy Duck: The Marvin Missions, and so on.
All of them are great and successful games, loved by the player for their gameplay and their humor.
So...let's do an even better game, with a more powerful humor! And ducks. Everybody likes ducks!

DESCRIPTION() {
/*
You control a character in first person that discovers his/her

that, you can pass objects from one reality to another, and these
objects will seem to be similar but they will actually be different
because they are inverted. Also the things you do on one reality are
reproduced on the other (because it's a mirror), which is something
that can bring good or bad consequences depending on what you do.
You shouldn't call the attention of guards while trying to escape.
So for instance if you have to do something noisy, you can do it
inside the mirror and it will have the same effect on the outside of
the mirror but without the noise. If there are two mirrors in front
of each other you can run trough them constinuously and gain
momentum. Everything that reflects is a mirror. If you carry a

23. Quest for Awesomeness!
In 'Quest for Awesomeness!' you take part to a great adventure playing as one
of the four main characters of classic fantasy games to defeat an evil lord of
destruction. But this characters are really hopeless, totally rookies in taking
part in a great adventure. Thank gods they're followed by four brave souls of
great heroes of the past!
The game starts with an epic quest to defeat the last "Great lord of
destruction, evil and all the bad things": four epic adventurers are going to
Lord Melficus's castle followed by four rookies. These newbie heroes won a
prize in a lottery, a "Great adventure experience" with the main heroes of this
world! But something goes really really wrong, and the main party of the great
and brave heroes gets wiped out as soon as they reach the castle (because of
their boldness and pride).
Now it's all in the hand of the rookies! But there's something more, the mighty
heroes that were supposed to defeat (again) the current evil lord didn't die!
Well, in fact they did, but now they're ghosts that can help the inexperienced
adventurers to become real heroes and save the world once again!
The Quest for Awesomeness begins!
GAMEPLAY: The game is basically a 2D horizontal scrolling adventure that
takes inspiration from games as Castlevania and Metroid, in which the player
uses one of the four classes available (Knight, Wizard, Ranger and Cleric), each
one followed by the respective ghost of the hero that died at the beginning of
the game. The player goes on through the levels by killing mosters and solving
puzzles, the main feature is that in each moment he can switch the control
between the rookie hero and the ghost following him. Playing as the ghost
involves the ability to haunt enemies and moving them for a limited period of
time, as well as possessing objects in the castle to defeat foes or solving
puzzles (for example: a ghost can possess a chandelier to let it fall on the head
of a goblin, or possess a enemy to use a switch unreachable by the player to
open a door, and so on...) as well as floating unharmed to reach places
unavailable for the hero.
There's also a competitive multiplayer versus mode in which one group plays
as the adventurers with the objcetive to reach the end of the level, and one
other group acts as the ghosts that haunt enemies or objects to hinder them!
The game tries to play jokes on various cliches of the classic fantasy games,
taking them ironically and trying to offer a great experience to the player that
finds himself using a classic character and an incorporeal one as well.
Competitors: 2D horizontal scrolling adventure games (Castlevania, Metroid, Rogue Legacy)
Main features:
• Play as an adventurer and as a ghost with different abilities at the same time!
• Various gameplay given by the "haunt" feature!
• Solve puzzles and defeat enemies with the combined action of heroes and ghosts!
• Explore a castle full of secrets and goodies, references to cliches of the fantasy genre
• Multiplayer competitive mode, Heroes vs Ghosts! Procedurally generated with high
scores at the end
• Progression of the characters with experience system, new skills and equipment
Possible platforms: PC, Consoles
24. The player selects a Red Dragon to haunt and use his abilities, using his
personal ghost! Before and after the selection the command menu changes
Examples of screens from multiplayer mode: in the left there's the screen for the adventurers,
in the right for the ghosts (P1 looking for something to haunt, the choices are in
red[chandelier, table], P2 is respawning, P3 is haunting a Goblin and P4 the painting)
1: Concept for Wizard, Knight and Archer
2: The Knight and his ghost (Concept for sprite)
25. The game concept could be based on an endless runner one, so you have your TeddyBeer in a
running fast world and he has to collect as many pints as he can. The world runs so you have to be
quick and also avoid some obstacles. Obstacles will depend on the level, for example if you have a city
type of level you will have car obstacles, if you are in a forest you will have animal obstacles etc.
While your TeddyBeer is collecting pints he becomes more and more drunk so the game really
changes. For examples the bear feels his world laggy and now he has some problems to go
straight and to move, so you have to click the button “right” if you want him to go in this direction, but
earlier because now it takes time for him. His view of the world is more confused, maybe double.
After too many beers he’s really wasted and you could have to click on “left” if you want him to go to the
right and click on the opposite commands... stuff like that!
To help your bear you will find items to catch and power up him like coffee, sandwiches, donuts etc.
Those items help the bear hangover, so his movements and his perception of the world can come back
to normality.
TeddyBeer
Do you remember your sweet teddy bear? Just forget it!
Now you are grown up and you can play with another type of bear... The TeddyBeer!
TeddyBeer really loves pints of beer and getting wasted, help him!
Platforms: smartphones, tablets and if it can run on the computer as well... amazing!
Competitors and selling points: competitors should be other endless runner games, but we have an
original idea and character, plus a strange world result of the alcool effects that could be interesting to
built for programmers and designer, and to play for the customer (double vision, laggy world, opposit
commands, difficult mobility etc).
Cheers!
27. The WideoGame
Platform: iOS/Android Genre: multiplayer running game
Are you tired of playing always the same games? Welcome to The WideoGame: match your friends, and
beat them all! Every match is between two players, each of them on his own device, and is composed by
three round. In each round, each player, one after the other, chooses between one of the five game mode
available. Then the level is generated (procedural generation) according to the choosen mode. The two
players will play independently on their own device and after that they will be synchronized.
In every round, players starts with 25 lives and the final score is based on the remaining lives. Furthermore
the score of each round has a different weight (remaing lives [RL] x1 for the 1st round, RLx2 for the 2nd
round, RLx5 for the 3rd round). After the 3rd round, the winner is declared . If you are enough tenacious
and not satisfied you can use the “crazy card”: you will play again one of the three round and you will have
only one single life to complete it. If you do it, you will be the winner, otherwise… I’m sorry, but you lose.
In every round you can choose between five game mode. These are all “running game”-style(character
runs continuosly) and are the following: [sketch]
1. jump: you arrive at the end of level just jumping the obstacle (tap to jump - easy don’t you?)
2. color fix: you haven’t the possibility to jump the (colored) obstacles, but you have to destroy them
with the right colored hammer
3. gravity: you haven’t the possibility to jump, but you must change the gravity in order to avoid
obstacles
4. shadow: you haven’t the possibility to jump, but you need to go upside down, becoming your
shadow! (Warning! also underground there are obstacles!)
5. backward: your character runs not from left to right, but from right to left (uh_ uh) and… (won’t be
so simple) the controls are inverted too: until you hold down on the screen the character runs, when you
untap the character will jump!
Market analysis: many running game are only “one button game” … in our game the challenge is to mix
together different running game modes (Jetpack Joyride, Temple Run, Geometry Dash) and to convert it
into a funny multiplayer game (Ruzzle, QuizDuello).
Unique Selling Points:
● multiplayer matches
● 3-round game
● possibility to choose your mode (3 to 5)
● crazy final mode
● incremental score (x1, x2, x5)

33. JUDGEMENT DAY
You are god, and you’re really bored. So you decide to go on a good old apocalyptic killing
spree against those boring, insignificant humans because you know..... they are having all
the fun (and you really don’t like that).
Judgement day is a 3d rts-god game for PC and mobile platforms that builds on the god
game genre to offer the player the possibility to exercise the immense powers of a very
angry god.
The game is divided in various small maps and takes place in different sections of those
lovely american suburbs that we all have seen in a ton of movies (white wooden houses,
lovely neighbors, lots of dogs, ecc ). Your goal is to kill as much inhabitants as you can
using your god powers. These powers range from the possibility to interact with objects
(start a car, take down a tree), instill emotions in humans (fear, anger, calm), possess
them, blow up objects, start small fires (yes, they will become BIG fires) and the always
lovely giant fireball of doom. You’ll start with a limited range of powers (different in every
map) and unlock new ones as soon as you collect the souls of the ones you have killed.
Start simple and grow bigger along the way !!! But be careful your time on earth is limited
and if you scare them too much the humans will run away from the neighborhood and you
will lose souls (unless you kill them first of course).
- Play as an evil angry god, do you really need more ?
- Kill humans in a lot of different creative ways, you can confuse a bus driver into running
over someone crossing the road and then possess the local policeman into killing the bus
driver and the crowd of people coming to see the incident.
- The limited size of the maps and of the humans (around 10/15 per maps) makes every
single kill important fun and engaging.
-Challenge yourself into making the best and funniest kill possible... and then show them
to your friends.
This game is a mix between real time strategy and god games, you will have an rts like
view of the world where you can unleash your god powers.
Judgement day will initially be developed for the PC platform but a mobile port is more
than possible since all the elements of the game and of it’s interface can be played very
well using a touch screen.
Most males within 10-20(and more) years love games in which you have to destroy/kill
stuff. If you need a real world example just look at the recent GTA V release, the first thing
most people do is to kill an innocent driver, take is car and create as much mayhem as
possible. People also love god games, even if there are not many of them coming out.
Godus, a Peter Molineux developed god game that has been successfully kickstarted less
than a year ago.
Dungeon keeper, Black and white and the fantastic From Dust are also a good inspiration.
The difference between this games and Judgment day is that in JD you have to actually kill
your followers in a lot of different and interesting ways, which i believe is a very interesting
difference (and much more akin to what a “real” god would actually do if he found us), also
JD focuses on a lot smaller scale in respect to the other games, this is done for obvious
technical reasons(simpler ai and better performance), but mainly because it makes every
single kill really meaningful.
