About Greenergames

Greenergames is presently one man and a very understanding and helpful fiancé. My name is John Carline and I have been involved in the games industry for the last 10 years. Over this period I have worked for numerous companies on a variety of titles.

About Nature Treks

Nature Treks is my first effort to use my experience with video game technology in a positive way.
Today's modern urban lifestyles can be busy and stressful. Leisure time is difficult to obtain and getting out to nature using congested transport links can be both an expensive and stressful experience. This means a high percentage of people miss out on the sounds, shapes and colours of our natural environment. Nature Treks uses technology as an aid to bring some of the healing properties of these into people’s homes in a convenient and stress free environment.
In addition to exploring a natural environment Nature Treks uses the powerful medium of color to help the user to relax and benefit from these healing properties. In addition to the audio and visual sensory experience, Nature Treks has the added element of interactivity. This gives the user a deeper immersion in the experience, helping them detach from their day to day worries, pressures and anxieties. Allowing the mind and body to relax and heal.
Nature Treks – Healing with color aims at aiding several aspects including, Relaxation, Reduce Anxiety, Elevate Depression, Mood Stability and as an aid for sleep.

Future Aims

Nature Treks – Healing with color is intended to be the first of a continued and long term genre of projects. GreenerGames aims is to do more research on possible therapeutic gains using a interactive medium. With Children involved with video games and similar technology at such a young age, their exposure to violence though this medium is of increasing concern. Developing projects for younger children or as a parental aid is something we would like to tackle.
We would also like do some research in exploring the potential for this sort of sensory experience as an aid to benefit and help people with physical or learning disabilities.

If you have experience in a related therapeutic field and are interested in offering feedback or simply have ideas you feel are relevant I would be delighted hear from you via an email to me here
