We will be using this prototype to present the game’s potential to a number of publishers, with the desired outcome of securing a global publishing deal.

Vostok Inc. is an antidote for frustrated gamers everywhere. A multiplatform hybrid shooter and strategy game you can enjoy on console whilst sitting on the sofa in a hardcore gaming session, just as easily as you can whilst tapping away on your mobile when the boss isn’t looking. It’s a game for the modern gamer, one who has to manage their spare time but still wants a “proper” game to play. It’s equal parts intense twin-stick arcade shooter, and passive resource management, with a compelling metagame that directly influences the second to second gameplay and vice versa.

It’s a single screen, explosive arcade blast of fun where the weapons and levels are deadly and the rivalry is fierce.

Just make sure you know how to use it or you might blow yourself into a hundred tiny fragments. Fragmental releases on Steam Early Access in February 2016.

The Secret Police is a London-based game developer focused on free-to-play mobile titles, drawing influence from the Japanese and Asian markets.

Darts of Fury is a multiplayer darts game focused on competitive social gameplay, drama and high-impact visual scoring. It will leave behind the stereotypes of the sport and introduce the game to a new and modern audience. This is the darts game for people who don’t even know they like darts.

Empires of the Undergrowth is a fast paced real-time strategy game based on the world of ants, with a story told in a TV documentary style. Built on top of a simulation, the player influences the colony behaviour rather than directly controlling it.

Underground the player excavates their nest, stores food and builds an army. On the surface they claim territory, gather food, overwhelm insects and arachnids and clash with another colony in a tug-of-war battle. Army size, composition and attack timing will eventually lead to one army pushing into the nest of the other to defeat their queen.

An atmospheric first person action game, in Waterways you travel the foreboding canals of a city long ago fallen to monsters. Reach safe haven beyond the city’s walls by scavenging, crafting and upgrading as many tools and weapons as you can to aid your journey.

Using your floating vessel as a base, venture out on foot to scour every abandoned building. Avoid the monsters. Fight as a last resort. Your craft drifts with or without you, so plan ahead. If you panic, run, if you smash a bottle… that sound’ll soon be joined by the chorus of alerted monster’s screams.

Zombies, Roll! is a hybrid boardgame and smartphone app where players survive and thrive together in the post-apocalyptic world from the hit Zombies, Run! fitness game. The game combines the best of boardgames and videogames like Pandemic and The Walking Dead into a genuinely unique mix of real-time gameplay, dynamic storytelling, and co-operative decision-making.
