In Playne I've integrated a meditation technique, which I learnt from decades of practise, that is simple to practice without any abstractions or being esoteric. Next, I've carefully developed gameplay elements that encourage you to meditate daily and consistently so you can build a habit of it. I think games are a great medium which can be used to help us grow.I would ideally make Playne free - because I would like the benefits of Playne to be freely available to everyone. But this is my first game and I need to generate an income so that I can spend more time building and developing Playne further. I want to offer as much of my time and effort to bring about a more joyful world, even if its just a drop in the ocean. I hope this page tells you what Playne can do for you, and I hope Playne can help you experience all the benefits of mindfulness.The Benefits of MindfulnessMindfulness is just a term used to describe a way to cultivate a form of awareness.
