Prosopon

In Prosopon, the player takes control of an actor in ancient greece that has forgotten their lines. The player must determine the mood of the scene by watching the other actors, the decorations on the stage and the audience and then act out the right mood to satisfy the audience. At their disposal, the player has a Kinect camera and three physical masks which acts as input.

Determine the mood, pick a mask representing that mood and strike a pose for the audience!

Prosopon was built in Unity with graphical assets made mainly in Photoshop. Although the game is made for the PC, the unique input prevents it from being distributed on that platform commercially.

Warpers

Warpers is a 2D casual real-time top-down shooter – created for players who have always dreamed about commanding their own spaceship.

You play as the crew of a small ship of your own creation. With the entire galaxy before you, what to do and how to do it are questions only you can answer. Will you go down in the history books as a paragon of heroism, or will your legacy be that of a notorious pirate? Only time will tell.

The gameplay in Warpers is that of a fast-paced top-down shooter. You control characters on a ship and battle aliens, pirates and mercenaries. By using the captain’s console aboard your ship, you can switch from controlling a character to controlling the ship itself.

Scrap Pirates

Scrap Pirates is a metroidvania-style exploration platformer with a focus on 2-player co-op gameplay.

A crew of space pirates travel through the Old Reach, looting and salvaging scrap and valuable metals to keep afloat. There they stumble upon an abandoned terraforming vessel that disappeared without a trace long ago, a most fortuitous event!

They start exploring the interior of the vessel, using magnetic abilities to advance and help each other along the way. Something’s not quite right however, and the question arises: Is the derelict ship truly abandoned?

The game is developed for PC using Unity 5.
