Hold Shift to Sprint

As a Game Developer or being any kind of developer it is very important to get some exercise in. Since a developer’s life is sedentary. It is also very important for Game Developer’s mental health because of high demanding job.

I have a tough time getting motivation to workout. So I thought to my self let’s approach this the Game Developer way!

I bought a Nintendo game called Ring Fit Adventure for the Nintendo Switch. It is a game that has gamified workouts and exercise.

I have tried physical activity games but they are poorly executed. I was expecting something better since this game is from Nintendo. But my expectations were met and then incredibly exceeded! The game is amazing at tracking the player’s body and keeps me motivated to play the game. Subtle features and small details to the game have made the game quite amazing.

I’m glad I bought this game. Gamification is great way to make mundane tasks fun when executed right.
