T1D Video Game
Interesting article...
http://www.gamersdailynews.com/story...-Diabetes.html FTA: Oklahoma based independent game design studio, Game Equals Life, officially announced their first project, The Magi and the Sleeping Star (MSS). MSS is a health education game that will aid in teaching adolescents and adults with type 1 diabetes how to better manage their condition through interactive gameplay and story-telling. The illness isn't the focus in The Magi and The Sleeping Star. The game is about a hero who must battle armies of robots and giant monsters in order to save his world. But since this hero happens to have type 1 diabetes, players must learn to manage the disease in order to be successful. The prototype for MSS was recently finished and the official trailer can be viewed at themagigame.net. No release date given in article.
