NUD Tower Defence
-

NUD is a tower defence game that will emphasize patterns in the way you build towers. The towers in the game, called NUDs, provide adjacent NUDs with various bonuses. This means that you need to come up with the optimum pattern of NUDs to maximise firepower. By emphasizing the way you build instead of relying on the usual formula of damage types vs armour types I hope to make the complexity of the game more transparent since no complexity is hidden in the enemy stats or behaviour. The smooth undo/reload wave system also allows you to correct your mistakes painlessly instead of having to restart the level/game and waste time getting to the same level.

NUD also has a heavy focus on "mazing" creeps by placing towers to block the path of the enemies. Each level will present you with a new map with new challenges to overcome!

Plain Sight
Beatnik Games

Plain Sight is a multiplayer arcade game that uses death as a tactic, not a punishment.

The basic rules are simple. You’re a little robot with one point. You get more points by killing other robots. The more points you get, the bigger and better you become.

However, your points only count towards your final score if you bank them.

You do this by blowing yourself up.

Respawn and repeat the process – the player with the highest banked score wins.

Planck v.0
Shadegrown Games

Planck Version Zero (v.0) is a game that lets you interact with original music through shmup mechanics. Although it plays like a familiar top-down scrolling shooter, every in-game action is interpreted through a timing and beat-matching system, turning your play into the song you hear as you traverse the level.

Just as traditional shmup levels are scripted experiences with a natural progression to them, Planck’s levels carry the player through a full song from beginning to end. And while Planck isn’t necessarily about the hardcore challenge of reaction time or pattern memorization, skilled players can express themselves by earning more complex versions of the track with good timing and judicious play.

Planck v.0 includes one level in order to demonstrate the game’s “play the music” concept, but the full version of Planck is intended to include an album’s worth of high-quality original tracks from composer Chad Bechard.
