The Radical Rider (edited 3/2/16)



  • parodies/satirizes 1970's-1990's TV, Movies, and Music with various modern references as well
  • main character is a robot with awesome hair
  • multiple different levels focused around odd mixes of different genres
  • pixelated style 
  • game progressively gets faster
a few examples of concept art


Unnamed unique steam-punk/fantasy/western RPG

  • uses unique way of player leveling up called "CELS" (Class Evolution Logic System)
  • huge overworld
  • possibly a hack-n-slash / beat-em-up ?
  • dark fantasy elements 
  • possibly pixelated ?
  • inspired by
    • Borderlands
    • Bioshock
    • Led Zeppelin
    • Cowboy Bebop
    • Undertale
    • Final Fantasy
    • earthbound
  • final fantasy/earthbound similar combat system

 "Mouserhella"

  • humorous maze / rouge-like game about a mouse/lab rat whos in hell and goes to save/join his girlfriend whos in heaven
  • similar to dantes inferno .... only funny and with mice/lab rats
  • gameplay gets progressively more frustrating as game goes on
  • slightly (very ) inappropriate story endings

"The Reach"

  • platformer where the play has to control the main characters arms along with basic movement in order to solve a variety of physics puzzles 
  • art style simple but similar to films like Metropolis, 1984, and The Wall

Unnamed space western rts/tower defense game

  • uses a card based system of getting units and placing towers while other units work around or with whatever cards the player chooses.
  • inspired by 
    • Magic the gathering
    • robocalypse
    • command and conquer
    • advanced wars
    • hearthstone?
  • game is a mix of tower defense elements and rts elements

"The Sidewalk Cipher" (name work in progress)

  • point and click adventure game that focuses on 4 different stories of different characters whos goal is to solve different codes to find/achieve a great prize
  •  character ideas?
    • private eye
    • paranoid investigator
    • computer hacker
    • archaeologist/ Indiana Jones type of character
  • focuses mostly on non-computer based decoding and linguistics
  • similar to telltale games adventure games and Tim schafer games

unnamed "ordinary" old style rpg/ "Unextraordinary" (edited 3/2/16)

  • game about a series of days in an ordinary characters perspective 
  • wouldn't have and would parody classic rpg elements and tropes
  • everything is average?....
  • inspired by
    • haruhi suziyama books (main character would be similar to kyon)
    • punk music? 
    • final fantasy
    • earthbound
  • character might be average at first but then become extraordinary 
  • Might base the game off of a comic series im working on called "Unextraordinary" which follows a similar premise.

unnamed medieval/fantasy rpg comedy (new idea added 2/13/16)

  • like the princess bride only a video game
  • subtly makes fun of fantasy/medieval games but still has a solid story and interesting charachters
  • fourth wall breaks?
