ZenQuest

Built using Unity, ZenQuest, is a serious game that promotes well-being and mindfulness through the use of relaxing themes and game mechanics.  This project was the final project for Online & Mobile Gaming at George Mason University.  With 3 students in the BFA in Computer Game Design program, the prototype for ZenQuest was built to the specifications of a client interested in an application to promote mindfulness and well-being.  At the conclusion of the semester, all student projects were judged and of those projects one would be chosen for further development and funding in future semesters.  From all class prototypes ZenQuest was one of two prototypes chosen as the winner of that competition.

The World

A rough prototype of the types of pro-social mechanics ZenQuest would promote. In this example, mana gained from the Dojo is used to summon a rainstorm to aid a drought ridden forest. All mechanics were imagined with a deep connection to nature and the natural world.
