Game pitches:

We concentrated our pitching on two ideas (this does not mean that we are settled on this, but we wanted to provide a starting point)

Spies/Trust/Betrayal. Including hidden information. For this we would spend some time analyzing a set of games (SpyParty, Paranoia, Trust&Betrayal, Chaos Overlord, People: The Republic, The Ship, Poker) and then come up with a small set of really interesting mechanics inspired by these games and explore and polish these.
Creating and playing with artificial intelligence creature(s)/pets/robots. This could go in the direction of constructing a creature to solve a puzzle (levels) or in the direction of an open world play (e.g. your creature has to survive). Multiplayer might also be interesting. We had our own ideas, but you could look at SPORE to get a (VERY) rough idea of where this would be headed, or just talk to us.

Additional Aspects we are interested in:

Certain degree of experimentalness (minimum ,maybe quite experimental).
Interested in creating a performative game (dark room sex game, johann sebastian joust).
Multiplayer.

Background Cognitive Science

Profile

I will participate in a project as a developer.
I would preferably code in C#.
I can be involved in project management, but if someone else is up for it that is fine with me.
Depending on the project I would be interested in more or less involvement in the design process.
Depending on the project and the available time I might be able to make some low quality sprite animations, GUI elements, etc.

Type of game I want to implement

I think an interesting area of genres would be a game in between social/environmental simulation, god-game, RPG elements.
I would be very interested in a game dealing with trust, betrayal, harassment, intrigue (see link).
As a second choice I would be very interested in a commercial game, e.g. for XBox Indie or a browser game portal featuring Unity games.

Expectations

Concerning grades I would sometimes rather dig deep into some detail that puzzles me than optimize work in order to get good grades.
I am interested in either:
- promising and interesting experiments
- or a feature complete and rather polished game.

Experience

I have worked on a number of cultural products, including a number of games from different genres.
I have worked in the context of small companies as well as with artists from my circle of friends.
The positions I worked in usually were in the areas project management, design and sales.

Platform

In case I am the only developer I would prefer to work with maybe XNA but preferably Unity.
In case I am not the only developer other options might be interesting.
