KIT207 Devlog - Week 5, Study 4: Group Project Ideas

Here are my pitches for group project ideas:

Murder in the Office

A role-playing management game themed around stresses and pleasantries of office life. Players will have to upkeep various meters to prevent their mental, physical or monetary collapse, while also keeping their co-workers in good condition.

This game would intend on targeting players who enjoy role-playing titles, such as Baldur's Gate and Mass Effect, where choices have direct consquences.

A prototype of Murder in the Office would focus on a short game loop involving random sets of interactions from NPC co-workers, and options for players to peform actions of their own, guided by the displayed emotions of each co-worker.

Features have been started for a multiplayer, physical tabletop game, but could be reworked for use in a digital product.

Khaos Kitchen

A silly physics-based sandbox game themed around experimenting in the kitchen. Players will have complete agency over their appliances and ingredients, and have near unlimited interactions to try. Put a fork in the toaster, sure; put the toaster in the blender, okay; put the blender in the sink and cause a power outage, we'll allow that too.

This game would intend on targeting players who enjoy physics sandbox games like Untitled Goose Game and Goat Simulator, where small but fun interactions are the heart of gameplay.

A prototype of Khaos Kitchen would focus on a limited number of basic objects and prioritise quality of interactions between said objects, with enough time some simple food recipes could be implemented.
