Hello!

I'm part of a group of gamers, working on a fun concept for an app.
The concept:

Most games are about doing; achieving objectives, pumping adrenaline... but can we make a game that does the opposite? Can we create a compelling game that keeps you interested, but while keeping you relaxed? We are developing the concept of a game played in short sessions which unlock stages of relaxation and reward taking your time.

If you'd like to help us refine the idea, you're more than welcome to take this quick survey we've whipped up.

I'm enjoying the community here, and hoping to contribute something of worth to the industry at large.
Here's to exploring different directions in gaming.

Some time ago I bought a japanese square with some real fine arena and a wooden stylus/pen/pencil.. and the idea was to "draw" or simply freestyle with the stylus drawing just nothing on the arena. The idea behind this was to relax while seeing the stylus creating marks, roads, or whatever was being drawn. Would be nice to do that while listening to relaxing music.

Osmos is supposed to be relaxing... but after the first few easy levels it becomes frustrating and there goes the relaxation of the soothing music and simple gestures. I'd say you'd have to find a way to let "losing" be part of the game.
