I received the following message and am quite happy for Tova to be a member:

My name is Tova Svensson and I am a game design and graphics student from Uppsala University, Sweden. I am currently reading a course on game design in practice, and as part of this course we are required to research a potential market demographic and develop a game for them. I have chosen to make an app for self help for depression and anxiety, for women aged fifteen to twenty five. I chose this market because I am a twenty three years old woman who has been struggling with depression and anxiety for many years, and I wanted to take this opportunity to make a difference.

It would help me a great deal if You would allow me to talk about my work on Your forums, as well as ask Your users if they would be interested in helping me. During the development of my app I need volunteers from my target audience to test it and answer surveys so that I can rework or remove features that are redundant or irrelevant.

As I said, this is part of a school course, but I intend on completing this app and releasing it to the public sometime in the future, and when I do it will be free to download and use, as I believe the tools and methods for dealing with depression and anxiety should be free for everyone.

You can read more about my work on my blog: http://tovasselfhelp.tumblr.com/ And You can also take a look at the first survey I have created to help me get started with the app: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe9WtZuX4w3N1OiBstiG6nlDGu2L2XFQMOokt9kLzGJhorSYw/viewform

Hello!

I’m pleased to announce that an alpha version of my app is available for download. This is a very basic version with only a few of the features implemented, as it is simply a test for me to determine whether I’m going in the right direction with the app.

If you would like to take the time to try it out, which shouldn’t take more than five or ten minutes, I would be very grateful.

I have also created a survey with some questions which I would appreciate if you would answer after testing the app. Your answers help me create an app with relevant and useful information and features that people actually want!

If you have any further questions or comments, you can reply to this post, or you send me a message or an ask on my tumblr: http://tovasselfhelp.tumblr.com/

Thank you very much for your time,
Tova

Hello again!

I have continued working on the app based on the feedback you provided me with during the early test version. I’m pleased to announce that a Beta version of the app is now available for download! As the name might reveal this is not a finished version of the app but rather another test version, though a more advanced one.

If you would like to take the time to try it out, which shouldn’t take more than five or ten minutes, I would be very grateful. As with the last version, this is for PC. All you have to do is download the file, unzip it using a program such as WinZip Archive and start the game.

Just tried to install it to test it for you but got a pop up saying it was protecting me from an unrecognised file type??

May your life be as pleasant as you are.
