We're Little Feels, a small team of one developer/artist(7y experience) and one psychologist (Masters), we're professionals and already have a couple small prototypes, so this means we won't be qualified to be part of the voting, so keep this in mind if our project sounds interesting to you. We're incredibly passionate about kid's mental health and find the mission of the "Safe in our World"-charity incredibly inspiring and important!!! We want to use the game jam as a framework to develop Little Feels further, it's a mobile/tablet game with a bunch of game modes, where kids learn to recognise their emotions, regulate their emotions, recognise emotions in others and help them deal with it. Our first topic is about Anger and how that can make you & others feel. Help kids see the consequences, help them be aware of their body and facial expressions and similar. Each topic has a dedicated character who's also a real world plush toy, this helps parents and kids talk about the topic and take learnings into everyday life. We also supply parents with additional material so they know how to approach the subject with their kids, help them deal with their feelings in stressful situations such as tantrums, etc.
We are super hyped and are currently working fulltime on the project in hopes to get funding down the road. We're making stories, designing characters, developing game modes and crafting a fun psychology based experience for small kids, so they have something better to do with their iPad time than watch TikToks.
