Silverfit (sound design)

As of september 2009 I'm working as sound designer and composer on the award winning gaming system "Silverfit"

European Innovative Games Award 2009 Dutch Game Award 2009

 

What is SilverFit?

The benefits of physical exercise on maintaining good health are widely known: people who exercise regularly stay fit, have a lower chance of suffering from chronic ailments and have better mental health overall. This is important for people of all ages, and its importance increases as people get older. Older people value their independence, so for them to continue to be active in society it is essential that they remain fit and mobile. As a consequence, modern geriatric care cannot be complete without a strong focus on physical exercise.

SilverFit makes people move. In our experience, people will exercise more intensely and more effectively when the exercise is fun instead of dull and repetitive. We create the fun element by making virtual reality computer games that stimulate exercise. Scientific studies show that computer simulations motivate people to exercise more and better (Holden, Cyberpsychology & Behavior 2005: 8(3) 187-211). Our system is especially tailored for use by physiatrists and physiotherapists, and can also be used in fitness and activity centres.

We have developed the SilverFit system in close collaboration with a team of physiotherapists. During development, we conducted extensive testing to produce a system that meets all the requirements of modern treatment methods. At the same time, the SilverFit system is very easy to use.

Summary:
Genre: Platform/Puzzle
Camera: 3rd Person
Audience: Core Gamers
Technology: Microsoft XNA
Platform: Xbox360/PC

Ønes is a platform and puzzle game that is built upon a strong gameplay foundation: the player takes the role of an avatar capable of manipulating time and space which he uses to create copies of himself.
The avatar, controlled by the player, can perform a large array of actions and rewind time to create a copy. This copy will then proceed to reproduce the avatar's actions, allowing him to "cooperate" with it in various ways. By creating up to four copies the avatar transforms into a powerful multitasking force.
This is called self-cooperation: the copies' actions are in the player's hands.
