8DHD: Helping the World Understand Neurodiversity

Aim

Helping the world understand ADHD and autism through comics, music, stories, and resources created from lived experience.

Meet Moodlings

Every emotion tells a story.

Moodlings is a card game inspired by real experiences of ADHD, autism, anxiety, and everyday emotions. Instead of collecting monsters, players collect feelings, personalities, and emotional strengths through a colourful cast of unique creatures.

Each Moodling represents an emotion, behaviour, or way of thinking that many neurodivergent people experience. Some are loud and energetic. Some are overwhelmed. Some hide. Some help others. Together they create a world where emotions are something to understand rather than fear.

Our goal is simple.

We want to create a game that is genuinely fun while also helping children, families, schools, and friends talk about emotions, empathy, and neurodiversity in a natural way.

The funding from this campaign will help us turn Moodlings from a growing idea into a professionally produced card game.

Your support will help fund:

• Professional artwork and card redesigns.

• Game development, balancing, and playtesting.

• Manufacturing prototypes.

• Packaging and presentation.

• Rulebook design and accessibility improvements.

• Printing the first production run.

• Building our online game hub and community.

• Taking Moodlings to schools, families, events, and conventions.

We've already created characters, artwork, and early versions of the game. This campaign is about giving Moodlings the quality and polish it deserves so more people can experience it.

We believe games can do more than entertain.

They can start conversations.

They can help children recognise emotions.

They can bring families together.

They can help people feel understood.

Every pledge brings Moodlings one step closer to becoming a real product that can make a genuine difference.

Thank you for helping us build something that combines play, creativity, and understanding into one world.

Welcome to Moodlings. 💜
