ULANKA.exe 2D

_____ULANKA.exe_______

// From Game to Research Tool:

What started as a 2D game has blossomed into a 3D neurofeedback research tool for professional use.  For more information on this transition and the current capabilities of ULANKA.exe, please visit:

🔗 Unifying Life Technologies - ULT

We are now accepting any donations and external funding to cover part of the initial expenditures for Ulanka.exe Research Tool expansion. 

The 20$ price/download on itch.io webpage, is strictly about the 2D demo version and not the 3D research tool.

Please feel free to help us pave the way in any way you can. 

//Early donations will be awarded with a free monthly pass after the official release (late 2026)

//Initial idea:
ULANKA.exe began as a whimsical experiment: "What if I could visualize portable brain scans through a classic 2D RPG?". I started using MindwaveMobile2 EEG Scanner. The game's scope: work around ideas as energy healing, and other effects of different meditative states and try out their actual efficacy through brain scanning. Entering a 9-Island formation, the player finds himself around the tribal people named ULANKA (Hard Ants, in their language) and travels through his evolution as a healer under the teachings of the Holy Mother, leader of the tribe and protector of Nature. The game interprets BrainWave Data from the FP1 sector (via NeuroSky's sensor), linking spikes and average ratios to in-game elements like healing energies, light spells, and regeneration mechanics.

//Demo: (beta version of the beta version of a demo)
 The idea went on for some time and I've now created a short Demo version. As of Update 1.25F, it's in a finalized state, showcasing features like real-time brainwave ratio displays and feedback AI that monitors overall brain network performance across different game conditions: village, forest, and danger zones. Players can now observe significant shifts in their brainwave activity, offering insights into their meditative and cognitive states during gameplay.

//My situation:

As a general medicine student with a passion for all forms of healing, I ventured into this project to merge my interests. With access to a portable brain scanner and a background in RPGMaker (albeit a decade ago), I dived into C# and Unity to bring ULANKA.exe to life. While the journey was chaotic, it laid the foundation for a tool that bridges gaming and neurofeedback.

//Publication and Donations
 Consider this platform as a possible crowdfunding for further research on BCI and anything else EEG tech can offer us.  If anyone enjoys the project and wants to get into the process or receive more frequent updates of the software you can contact me at chrismouchlias@gmail.com !   

(adding here a reference to a beautiful Case Study around energy healing: EEG AMPLITUDE, BRAIN MAPPING, & SYNCHRONY IN & BETWEEN A BIOENERGY PRACTITIONER & CLIENT DURING HEALING by Steven L. Fahrion, Ph.D., Mietek WIrkus & Patricia Pooley    https://journals.sfu.ca/seemj/index.php/seemj/article/view/144/109  )
The whole ISEEM(Subtle Energies & Energy Medicine,  https://journals.sfu.ca/seemj/index.php/seemj/index) journal has been for me a treasure of information on all the most crucial aspects of our spiritual growth, discussing scientific proposals and research results of experiments conducted through decades of scientific developments. Special thanks to the wonderful scientists Scott V. Anderson and Beverly Rubik for helping me find my stepping during a time where guidance was scarce. To join the path they've been on all these years, and maybe effectively contribute to our common understanding of ourselves and life in general, has been a gift of a goal to have.

PS.Having a live connection to a MindwaveMobile2 EEG Scanner is required to do mostly anything in game, but you can move around the map and check out the whole thing (the demo is really short as no event sequences have yet been added. it merely serves to showcase the idea).
