Hello to all Mutation Madness fans! The game developers are here to give you some updates on this project and the feedback we've received since the game's release! As you may know, this game was developed as part of the PLAYMUTATION research project (DMPI/001/2022) with the goal of raising awareness about viral infections among young adults. Since the launch, we have received several compliments from players and we are very grateful for the support! The development of this game was challenging but certainly very rewarding! The whole process of creating and developing the game was carried out with a lot of commitment, love and dedication from all involved, which makes this project very special! We take this opportunity to leave a special thanks to the National Institute for Agricultural and Veterinary Research, I.P. (INIAV,I.P.) that helped us to scientifically review the content of the game.

One of the phases of the project was the UX evaluation of the game with the goal of understanding if the game provided an engaging experience and if it raised awareness about viral infections. The results were very positive, suggesting that the game is visually appealing, fun, immersive, and that it is able to inform players about ways to prevent and treat viral infections as well as the concept of mutations and new variants.

We couldn't be happier with the results, but we also know that there is always room for improvement! That is why the development team is working on a major update for the game, full of new features! The team has carefully reviewed all feedback received and is currently implementing improvements to make Mutation Madness even better! We can't wait to announce the new update! Stay tuned, you won't want to miss it!
