The Apartment

An early screen shot of Seth Burnette's highly innovative 3D game. The basic backstory is that the player is trapped in the apartment of a modern day magic user. Talismans and books will be scattered around the apartment, each with a unique power attached to it. The player will only be able to use two powers at any given time. Also, the powers will have their own individual limitations such as timers or recharge rates and also uniquely combine to create new effects. The game's goals are to escape the apartment and survival.

Ben and Kranky

Some of the characters you'll encounter in the upcoming game Ben and Kranky: Chapter 1, from WJS Silverback Television Productions.

Clan

Just announced (Dec 2007) by Unity forum regular "Boxy" comes Clan, a new first-person shooter, set in the year 3890. Boxy describes it as follows: "Global warming has well and truly kicked in creating widespread lowland flood plains the world over. In Britain the problem is exacerbated by glacio-isostacy, a consequence of the last ice age when 3km high ice sheets melted causing Northern uplift. Contrary to popular belief, global warming has made the north of Britain colder due to melting ice caps lowering the temperature of northern waters and disrupting the gulf stream. In practice this means a fairly severe exaggeration of the seasons rather than a full ice age. Millions have drowned, starved or died of long forgotten diseases as society based around central government utterly collapses. For the survivors, high ground becomes more valuable than gold dust and in Britain, the Scottish highlands are among the most prized of all. The world's remaining populations have no choice but to revert to smaller tribes which scavenge, hunt and fiercely defend their already meager resources. In Scotland this means a return to the ways of the Clan." More details and a link to the Egghedz website soon.

Coconuts: The Adventures of Coco the Gorilla

Brain-child of Phoenix-based studio Gear Worx Productions for the Unity Top DOG contest. Cool platformer with a theme close to the Widget Monkey's hearts ("Daddy?").

Freerider

Hex

Dave Hone's uniquely cool upcoming Unity title Hex in which you play an old witch. He says, "You may have the sagging body of a crone but you do have very good taste in shoes, and as such you can jump on to almost anything within reach. You can also move some objects by running or walking up against them. As your memory seems to have gone yonder you'll need to figure out where you are, who you are and why on earth you are still wearing black - seriously, black was completely over years ago."

The Late Call

The Late Call is a 3rd person stealth game being developed by ByDesign Games in a fresh 'noir' style. You are tasked to disable bombs in unknown locations, with various obstacles environmental and dynamic to challenge you along the way.

Phoenix Final

Simple RPG

Simple RPG is a top down, classic RPG being created with Unity in an enjoyable, simplified line-drawn style. The game features adventures above gorund, in towns, and in dungeons and has a fully interactive inventory and character management and stats system. Excellent concept and worth watching.

Spiders from Mars

Spiders from Mars, the upcoming title from Mondo Robots, the studio that developed Tiki Magic Mini Golf. "Recent satellite data has revealed unidentified martian activity - Please review the attached classified imagery - Initial analysis indicates potential threat level high- Requesting monkey status- End transmission"

Startrackers

San Diego-based Unity developer, 3D artist and animator Roger (aka DigiLusionist) shows off his early but stunning UI design for an upcoming single-player turn-based space strategy game that incorporates cardplay. The player is an intergalactic bountyhunter who captains a vessel crewed by up to four NPCs.entitled Startrackers. One to watch out for.

Untitled "Adventure"

An early demo screen shot of an as yet untitled adventure game being developed by Spanish communications and game design studio Waimoo.

Untitled "Racing Game"

An early screen shot of an as yet untitled Alfa Romeo racing game being developed by new Unity developer Eddie Walker. Even in this early playable stage online, the game features great graphics, excellent control scheme and user interface, customizable cars, and more. This plays quite well already and it's not even been optimized yet. Highly recommend giving it a spin for free.
