Hello from the Developer

Meditation is a way for us to learn about ourselves by discovering our inner world. As we better understand our inner world, the better we can respond to our outer world. I grew up with meditation and video games, and I'm exploring how video games can make it easier to learn and build a habit of meditation and mindfulness.

With nearly 15+ significant updates and 50+ patches, Playne has made a full journey from early access to full release thanks to its wonderful community's feedback and support.

Krish Shrikumar is a solo game developer and a BAFTA New Talent nominated filmmaker from Scotland.

  EMERGE Releasing Soon

  Hello everyone, I wanted to let you all know about my next game Emerge which will be releasing on the 1st of May 2025. Emerge is a game I created during a deeply personal experience caring for my grandmother during her neurodegenerative decline. This game is an exploration of the nature of memories, and what is means to lose them. If you like the idea of losing yourself into a beautifully relaxing game, then you might enjoy Emerge. Emerge, is a reimagination of jigsaw puzzle games where each puzzle you complete is a chapter of Maya's forgotten story. As you help Maya remember her beautiful life, you will transform her empty room into one that reflects the full life she lived. If you would like to play Emerge, you can Wishlist below: Wishlist Emerge on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2206730 I'm a solo self-published game developer and I want to thank you all for continuing to support my work. Much Love, Krish

  Kickstarter successfully funded! PLAYNE is coming to mobile!

  Wow! We did it! Sensei Fox is coming to mobile! Thanks to your amazing support, we have successfully funded the Kickstarter campaign and I can now start working on bringing PLAYNE to mobile! Not only this, since we reached this goal by today, I will donate 1,000 copies of PLAYNE (mobile) to Mental Health Charities around the world who work with people who could benefit from mindfulness and meditation. Folks, this whole experience has really blown me away. I'm moved by the amount of people that got behind PLAYNE. 48 HOURS LEFT to hit our first stretch goal! I've just combined two stretch goals to create a single supercharged stretch goal! If we hit £45k, you'll be able to create a library of beautifully themed sanctuaries in PLAYNE. Imagine creating a collection of sanctuaries for your meditations, like a zen garden or a vibrant meadow with colorful wildflowers by choosing the type of grass, flowers, etc. All with it's own unique soundscapes! If you are thinking of getting PLAYNE for mobile, then please consider backing now so we can hit more of the stretch goals like multiplayer support. > Pre-Order PLAYNE for Mobile on Kickstarter

  Kickstarter funded 40% - We need your help!

  Hello Friends, Huge thanks to the 200 backers who have raised over 40% of our funding goal to bring PLAYNE to Mobile. From what I'm seeing, most of the backers are from the PLAYNE community, which is incredible. I'm truly grateful to all of you for getting behind this! But sadly with Kickstarter, if the campaign doesn't hit the goal, we lose all the money raised so far. This means that if we don't succeed, the chances are that I won't be able to develop PLAYNE for mobile .. which really sucks .. BUT we have another two week. If you want to back, but have never used Kickstater Kickstarter is a platform where you can pre-order the game and directly support its development. Developing and marketing for mobile is incredibly hard, but with this funding it'll make it possible. With Kickstarter, you're not just a buyer, you're a backer! In return for your support, as well as knowing that you are making this game possible, you'll get exclusive rewards like lifetime access to the game and unique asset unlocks in return for your support. Backing on Kickstarter is simple: Visit the PLAYNE Kickstarter page: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/krishs/playne/ Choose a reward tier that you like. Follow the prompts to complete your pledge. If you want to back but can't figure out Kickstarter, drop me an email to krish@vismaya.co.uk or connect with me on Discord (@heykrish), and I'll happily walk you through it. Please Back PLAYNE on Kickstarter https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/krishs/playne/ The reality is that we just need roughly 275 of you to back this campaign and we can create PLAYNE Mobile for you, and for thousands of others. This is the cool thing about Kickstarter! So yes, I hope we can do this together! Thank you! Krish. P.S. If you've already backed, please share this campaign email with anyone you think might be interested!
