T-Shirt Ninja
Developed by: Andrew Brommelhoff, Brandon Germain, Jesse King, and Allen Seitz
T-Shirts? Ninjas? No, not ninjas with t-shirts, but a T-shirt ninja. That is what you will become, or rather, what is destined by fate. Wielding only a wooden practice sword (your bokken), you must conquer the elements, or in this case, tons and tons of ninjas! You must prove that t-shirt ninjas are just as good as the real deal, even if it means becoming dismembered or a horribly rendered pile of flesh. That's the least of your worries though, since they've got your little sister! More importantly, they've got your awesomely hot girlfriend as well.

With their supplies dwindling, the shelters send out their excess population to gather resources in the wastes or die in the attempt, freeing the shelter from having to care for them. You are one of those unlucky enough to be chosen for this duty and your only hope is to explore the surrounding wasteland and gather the resources you and your shelter need to survive.

DINOREAVER
Developed by: Garon Clements, Nathan Krach, and Karl Tata
A long, long time ago (much, much more than just yesterday, or last week), way off in a land that could very well be your backyard (specifically the land of prehistoric, post-apocalyptic Argentina for you South Americans), there roamed the proud (and slightly dysfunctional) velociraptor-tribe known only as the Dinoreaver Clan. In Dinoreaver: The Chompination it will be your place to quest after the most delectable morsels (consume the flesh of the fallen) to stay alive (gain power-ups and become the baddest carnivore there ever was).
