The practical component of a master's dissertation on repetition and addiction in computer games. Stopwatch is a collection of games where the common goal is simple: To stop the timer efficiently. In the basic game the player advances to the next level by consistently stopping the timer at zero, and then stopping it at each number of a special sequence. In the MMO game players can stop the timer at any number they desire, and it increase their corresponding number rating. They can compete with other players in a ladder system and socialize in various chat channels. In the competitive game teams of players try to push and lock bars by stopping the timers at the correct intervals. This concept is taken one step further in the competitive MMO game, as groups of players fight over territories with the ultimate goal of world domination, using the same bar locking system. An Iphone version is currently in development. A prototype PC version is available for download. 
Lord of the Lands is a 3rd person Action RPG game, set in the realm of the previous Dungeon Keeper games developed by Bullfrog. The game delivers tactical group based combat, giving the player control over his companions through context sensitive orders. Every companion has a unique skill tree, and new skill points are obtained from power-up runes, unlike the traditional experience systems used in the rpg genre. The entire campaign can be played in multiplayer mode. Furthermore, singleplayer saves can be loaded in multiplayer, and vice versa, allowing players to join a campaign in progress. In addition to the campaign mode, the "infinite play" mode allows the players to fight in randomly generated dungeons as long as they wish. It is even possible to import Dungeon Keeper saved games, and use them as seeds when generating new random maps. Note: This game design was done as coursework. Electronic Arts owns the intellectual property rights to Dungeon Keeper, and as such, it is not possible to make this game without their consent. 
A strategic card game about groups of famous world leaders debating on various subjects including military, literature, science, religion and politics. It uses a simple phase system where the subject is established in the first, discussed in the second, and concluded in the third stage of the game. Although the basic game rules are simple, the majority of the cards have unique abilities, adding significant tactical depth to the game. The game is played with a single 60 card deck. In addition, players can opt to create their own sideboards by buying blister packs to obtain "flavor cards" that are played on top of cards from the standard deck to add special effects, giving players further means with which they can manipulate the outcome of the game. 
A board game about mining and crafting in a medieval world. It mixes monopoly like gameplay where players move around the town from shop to shop, with heroquest like exploration gameplay where players go to mines, dig for minerals and fend off cave beast attacks on the modular parts of the game board. They can then sell the minerals they mine, or craft them into objects if they have the necessary skills. There are two playable races - dwarves and elves. Dwarves are significantly better at mining. In addition, the elves can not use any of the services in the dwarf town, and have to travel a long distance back to their forest city in order to shop or sell minerals. However, they have a significant advantage: they have longer lifespans, so they are immune to effects of aging and get an extra ten turns after the game ends (provided they don't die in combat before then). |
