GameBCN - February
Hello, Devs!
This year, we've received a whopping 185 applications from 42 countries for the incubation program! We are now in the final stages of the selection process with our outstanding committee. In the next newsletter, you'll discover the six teams that will be incubated in this edition.
Serious Games Lab
Serious Games Lab is the new health-focused incubation program that encourages innovation in serious games. Diverse teams, including healthcare professionals, executives, educators, and developers, proposed projects related to children's physical activity, teenagers' emotional well-being, and young adults' self-esteem. The three incubated teams developed impactful solutions:
1. A video game to enhance healthcare professionals' skills in handling medical emergencies like heart attacks, strokes, and suicide.
2. An engaging journey for personal development and emotional management, initially designed for teenagers but expanded to a broader audience in its digital version.
3. An interactive visual novel empowering teenagers with self-esteem, emotional resilience, and online safety skills.
The program's success culminated in a demo day attended by over 70 people at Pier07 on December 22nd. Stay tuned for future editions! ??????
