Fitocracy, an RPG for fitness▲102
My cofounder and I have been working on a site called Fitocracy (www.fitocracy.com), which is a social game for fitness. The idea was very much inspired by our experiences growing up as nerds playing video games, later on discovering weightlifting, and drawing the parallel between working out and "leveling yourself up." XKCD has a pretty well known comic to this effect: http://xkcd.com/189/. We find that the metaphor of workout out as leveling up in a video game resonates with quite a few people, so Fitocracy is an attempt to bring that to life. On Fitocracy, tracking your workouts earns you…

Focumon – Turn your work into a multiplayer adventure▲89
I was on the eternal quest of searching for a properly gamified productivity app that keeps me motivated throughout the day and in the long term. After a few months of a fruitless search, I made up my mind and decided to build it myself! I've since launched FocuMon a little over a month ago. Quite a few early users told me it has helped them stay focused, so I'm excited to share it on HN for ya'll to try it out and let me know how I can make it better! FocuMon is like an idle Pokémon game where you can collect, level up, and evolve cute monsters by being productive! It puts a reward layer on…

Classroom Simulator,teach and nurture students. Inspired by The Sims▲10
You play as God manifested as a Professor. The goal of the game is to prevent your students from failing a free elective course. To achieve this, you must gain the trust of your students. Each student has their own personality and interests. Teaching them about their interests improves their relationship with you. This is a passion project I decided to pursue after becoming unemployed. It has been a fun project to chip away at over the past two months. The game is in beta, so I am eager to hear any feedback you all have. Join the Discord, and if possible, consider donate to my Ko-fi so I can…
