Games4Health Competition Entry
The Concept
An entry for a Games4Health competition exploring how to gamify fitness. The idea links a character-builder and exploration game directly to a player's fitness app: the distance to the next village grows longer over time, which trains the player's heart rate to stay elevated for longer stretches as they keep pace with the game's world.
It's a small study in tying real physiological effort to in-game progression, rather than treating fitness tracking as a bolted-on side feature.
