Life RPG (Concept)

Life RPG takes the boring and aversive parts of life and gamifies them for players, turning them into thrilling battles and valuable experience points. 

Description

Life RPG is a mobile game that attempts to gameify aspects of health and wellbeing, similar to Pokemon Go, Pokemon Sleep, and Pikmin Bloom. Where this app stands apart from those is in how it attempts to combine it all into one unified experience, focusing on what the user wants to improve on. Player-set goals and tasks are represented by monsters, which the player can damage by tracking progress. Health  stats are represented by experience bars, which the player can fill by exercising and saving. Stats tracked are determined by the player, and are represented similarly to Runescape. The app can connect with other fitness and productivity apps to automatically track and display this information, so there's no hassle on the player's part. If the player wants, they can also set up a reward system where the game tracks their progress towards a real-life reward.
