Place to dump ideas we think of for the app that are not already in the project idea document.

Fitness goals and player classes

Idea: prompt the player with their fitness goals upon first time opening app and frame monsters/quest creation around those goals.

Currently, there could be monsters of any type and you would want to increase all your stats (strength, speed, intellect, etc.) and be as well rounded as possible to have the best fighting chance. Not everyone wants to train fully body and be well rounded though. Some people just want to focus on running and getting better times, whereas other are focusing on bulking up in the gym.

As such, rather than design quests generically, they could be fitted to the individual based on fitness goals. Let's say someone just wants to focus on running, for example, then all the monsters they come across would require a high speed stat to beat, thus encouraging more workouts in line with what they want to do.

Additionally, this could go really well with the idea of adding player classes. A player with a goal of building strength, for example, could be classified under the Warrior class, whereas a player with a goal of increasing mindfulness and flexibility could be classified under the Healer class. Each class could then have their own unique abilities that aid them in their battles and other in-app activities.

These goals could always be changed by the player in settings.

Achievement awards

Idea: award the player different awards for hitting different milestones (outside of quests, etc.).

For example, one award could be getting a hero to top level (if that exists). Other game based awards could include completing so many quests, fighting (and winning) against different monster classes, having heroes in different (or all of the) classes, etc. Fitness based awards could include completing so many type of X workouts (core, upper body, yoga, etc.), completing so many workouts in a week, achieving workout streaks, etc.
