Character - Game Ideas
Idea 1
Environment: Science Mechanism: Skills Character: Fragmentation
Card based game with a game mat and dice.
Set post nuclear fallout, with mutant human/hybrid creatures.
Character cards drawn from deck along with power ups. Each card would have stats and a set of special moves along with standard moves.
One dice will include symbols of feet and fists to determine what the character fights with, as well as a standard dice to determine the number of hits.
Player wins by defeating the other players deck by killing all of there characters until there deck runs out.
Different power up cards and skill of building a deck is involved.
Idea 2
Environment: Fragmentation/Laws Mechanism: Skills Character: Science
3rd Person adventure game.
Set in a mixed terrain environment with multiple changing locations.
Scientists experiments have escaped from a lab and hes trying to recapture them before they wreak havoc on the world.
The creatures can affect the laws of physics and change the environment where they create a nest. Changing the weather, the landscape and ability to move large objects around. Creating fragmented landscapes which the player would have to find there way through in order to recapture the creatures.
The player would require to create objects that would aid them in this, by finding base materials and combining them through trial and error to create ladders or bridges and going on to having to set up complex traps in order to capture the creatures, getting progressively more difficult to capture.
Idea 3
Environment: Fragmentation Mechanism: Skills Character: Science
App based game side scrolling game.
Scientist collecting different elements to create new compounds with.
Trial and error combination of elements to creature new compounds that can be used, such as gunpowder to clear a path.
Requires learning the combination of elements to clear the levels and reach the goals.

Narrative Story Ideas
1. A child in a workhouse/factory is trying to explain something has gone wrong and wants to alert the master. As he isn't allowed to speak while working without being punished he has to try and come up with a new ways of communicating such as miming/cue cards. After the master fails to understand a crash/explosion occurs behind them and the child runs off before he gets the blame.
(Would be set in Victorian Era workhouse/factory)
2. Day to day life of a child working in a factor and following their journey. Starting off happy/nervous but as the days go by the child becomes more and more part of the machine and less childlike with no voice at all about working there.
(Could be set in either Victorian Era or modern times)
3. Scientist working in a laboratory with chemicals while his child/children play noisily behind him. The noises keep making him nearly spill his work and distracted by the noises behind him he over-pours a chemical and results in it exploding in his face. So that he can get peace and quite while trying to work he makes the children sit still on a stool behind him while he declares children should be seen and not heard.
4. One teenager with a mobile in a lab and the scientists create different day to day scenarios ( i.e busy street, a date or school) slowly getting more dramatic (War, apocalypse or extreme weather) to see what it would take to get a teen to get off the phone and interact with the real world, to be heard instead of seen.
(Would be set in Victorian Era workhouse/factory)

5. Scientist/Inventor working in a laboratory, on a machine while a noisy child keeps distracting him resulting in him breaking the machine he was working on. He decides to lure the child into a machine with the intention of removing his mouth, he tries his machine but accidentally removes his ears, he tries again but accidentally removes his nose. The final time he manages to make his mouth disappear, allowing him to peacefully carry on his work.
