Kazunori Yamauchi is the founder and head of Polyphony Digital, the Tokyo-based producer of the Gran Turismo series. His nearly-independently produced Motor Toon Grand Prix for Sony PlayStation did not go unnoticed. He switched jobs from an office worker at Sony Music to a game developer at Sony Computer Entertainment in 1996. At this time, all development employees were being asked to submit one rough "game idea" a day; Yamauchi's first, the single sentence "I want to drive my car on my television" got him all the funding he needed, and his own studio.

Sony is funding your game studio. You have ten seconds to submit your own game idea in a single sentence.

Hard mode: No run on sentences.

    A board game: kill the most invading aliens with a variety of methods (stabbing weapons, blunt weapons, energy weapons, etc.) but every time a new method is used on one of the three alien types, one of three cards is drawn that decides whether the alien receives double a die rolls damage, half a die rolls damage, or no damage at all.

    I have never played Penumbra, but from what I get of it, less puzzle solving and more "problem solving", and less zombie horror as well.

    The problem with that is you only have 2 types of enemies: zombies and other humans. Well maybe animals too.
