LOCKBOT VR is an immersive, VR-exclusive experience where players command a colossal robot to unlock mechanisms within its structure.

• Mirrored Motion

   - the mech mirrors player motion, enabling novel gameplay moments in which players must tilt their neck, reposition their torso and head, and touch their shoulder and face to achieve unique objectives.

• Algorithmic Soundtrack

   - the algorithmically-generated soundtrack evolves as players unlock new components of the machine, before dramatically shifting for a climactic finale in which the titan transforms from tool to adversary.

• AI-enhanced Audio

   - sound effects for mechanical movements, such as calibration apparatus, doors and robotic pistons were authored through a combination of original foley, open-source assets and generative AI platforms to achieve the intended vision.

GRIPGOLD is a short atmospheric puzzler in which players interact with an ancient contraption that resembles the controller used to play the game.

• Immersive Input

   - protagonist movements directly mirror those of the player, as they rub dirt, press buttons, turn dials and light their lighter.

• Integrated Prompts

   - button prompts are represented in world-space, to communicate locations of buttons to players to those unfamiliar with game controllers.

• Original Art

   - all models (such as the device), animations (such as for the giant serpent) and particle effects (such as the flames) were created from scratch within Dreams, on PS4.

Embracing Failure is an experimental metagame concept in which players build a ship to negotiate an arrangement hazardous of crates and are rewarded with a new part each time they crash.

• Reward Mechanics

   - when players crash, a part - such as a booster, laser or reward-collector - is granted, offering a sense of progression, regardless of skillset.

• Block-based-building

   - parts are arranged in a simple, but flexible, grid formation that enables construction of ships across a range of different shapes and sizes.

• Control-mapping

   - booster blocks map to a range of button inputs, allowing players to define their control scheme through the design of their ship.

Unknown Contact is an interactive thriller in which players make their way through various scenarios - armed with nothing more than their own smartphones - as they attempt to discover the origins of a mysterious artefact upon which the story is centred.

• Faux OS

   - an artificial HTML5-based operating system facilitates a range of mechanics, such as whipping electrical charge, tuning into radio signals, lighting scenes with a torch and activating protocols via voice recognition.

• Remote Character Engagement

   - character interactions arise through simulated bluetooth transmissions and phone calls, which offer bidirectional connections with the world beyond content shown on the TV.

• Passive Narrative Delivery

   - story elements are offered indirectly throughout the experience via texts and photos from which player can attempt to unwravel elements of the fiction that interest them most.

We Be Rollin' is a local multiplayer game played through smartphone web-browsers in which players assume the role of hamsters that compete to consume the most cake.

• Smartphone I/O

   - input is driven through touch-based interaction and output is offered in the form of tactile feedback and audio delivered in response to in-game events.

• Bots with Personalities

   - players can compete against up to 100 hamster bots, each of which are assigned characteristics that influence their behaviour.

• Low-latency Gameplay

   - communication is conducted directly between the host PC and players' smartphones (rather than via an online web server), which reduces latency and eliminates the need for an internet connection.

Superhands is a nonlinear story in which players assist a trio of space-travellers through various interactions with their 'ship' (i.e. smartphone).

• Innovative I/O

   - the camera, flashlight, vibration, microphone, volume buttons, power supply, accelerometer and touchscreen are used to offer a host of ways for players to interact.

• Abundance of Audio

   - 400+ unique lines of dialogue and 150+ individually-recorded sound effects (all edited with Audacity) are programmatically triggerable throughout the experience.

• Competent Choreography

   - characters are fully animated through a combination of physics-driven motion and over 500 motion-captured animations.

Swishies is a virtual toy in which players interact with creatures whose digital dispositions affect their colour, speed and behaviour toward one another.

• Creatures with Needs

   - swishies' moods are influenced by their hunger, which continually increments until they are able to find and consume food.

• Mood-driven Behaviour

   - hungrier swishies are faster and more aggressive, whilst those that are replete are more social and have a tendency to move in groups.

• Interactive Physics

   - elements within the toy are bound by a rudimentary physics model that controls the ways that the cursor and swishies movements affect the food and one another.

• Obedient Beings

   - whilst less happy swishies will be more reluctant to deviate from their pursuit of food, satiated ones will gravitate toward the cursor whenever they click-and-hold the mouse button.
