Microsoft Xbox One fans encouraged to make the next big game

Help create the next big game

You can now help create Microsoft's next smash hit title.

 

Developer Press Play, which has created top titles, like Kalimba and Max: The Curse of Brotherhood, has three ideas for its next Xbox One hit. 

But it wants your help to design and shape the right title into a big success. 

That includes being involved in major development meetings about big game decisions and even getting to play early versions of the game to test and improve it. 

The game ideas include: 
 



Max: The Curse of Brotherhood is one of the games already developed

Project: Dwarka

Team up with a group of friends and become a band of legendary dwarven treasure hunters, exploring a procedurally generated underworld filled with gold and monstrosities.

As dwarves, you are experts in underground survival and have the tools to overcome any obstacle in your way such as bottomless pits, insurmountable walls, collapsed mines, flooded tunnels… or deadly monsters. Get the gold! Get out! Leave no dwarf behind!

Project: Karoo

A physics-based multiplayer construction game set in an open world.

Imagine a game where you get to play as an inventor who has the ability to construct any kind of vehicle.

A game where you can travel far and wide in your inventions and bring back new parts and valuable items.

Imagine the inventions are all subject to the laws of physics; if they collide with objects or the ground, they will split into a thousand pieces.

Imagine a game world where new places are regularly discovered and ready to be explored.

Imagine your friends could be there too.

Developer Press Play has three ideas for its next Xbox One hit

Project: Knoxville

A third-person multiplayer action-survival game in which players must both work together and against each other.

It’s framed as a sadistic game show similar to The Hunger Games and The Running Man, however all of the contestants can survive if they work together and don’t let greed or personal gain get the best of them.

A Microsoft spokeswoman said: "For this new development initiative, Press Play will be giving the gaming community a chance to provide feedback and work together on creating the studio’s next game.

"Full details are on the Press Play website, but gamers have between now and 1st September to review the three game concepts, register for the programme and vote for which title should be Press Play’s next game. 

"Beyond this initial feedback, the community will get the chance to engage with Press Play throughout development. 

"Some of the things that Press Play is planning as part of this process includes sharing early builds of the game, and having community members join meetings and project reviews via Skype. 

"In addition to this there will also be regular forum activity, videos and frequent blog updates."
