Game Dev Platform “Elements” Enables COPPA-Compliant Creation of Children’s App “Where’s My Elf” Coming to iOS and Android

SAN DIEGO - Sept. 20, 2024 - Elements, the all-in-one DevOps toolkit with out-of-the-box COPPA Compliance from Elemental Computing Inc., paves the way for easier creation of games and apps for children. “Where’s My Elf”, coming to iOS and Android in Q4 2024, will be the first release leveraging the robust suite of tools in Elements.


Where’s My Elf, the educational enrichment app for children developed by Elemental Computing Inc., steps onto the scene as the first application to utilize Element’s kid-friendly functionalities. Embark on engaging, edifying adventures and unlock the secrets of language, math, geography, art, food and science during interactive journeys through real-world locales. 





Thanks to built-in FTC-conforming tools, Elements’ integrated COPPA Compliance opens doors for developers to provide all-new adventures for Generation Alpha — the tech-savvy demographic born between 2010 and 2024, expected to represent 2 billion people by 2025.


Create captivating games and apps for children under 13 with greater ease, cultivating digital safe spaces for growing gamers without the need for third-party legal counsel. Thanks to built-in FTC-compliant tools, studios can focus on development while Elements auto-generates privacy policies, creates parental consent agreements, and obtains personal information in conformity with federal law. 


“COPPA Compliance is often an arduous, multi-step process that can discourage the creation of games and innovations aimed at children,” said Patrick Twohig, CEO and Founder of Elemental Computing Inc. “With Elements’ built-in features, kid-friendly development is no longer a hurdle. We can’t wait to see the developers embark on new creative journeys as we continue to trailblaze a path forward in development platform functionality.” 


Develop AAA to indie masterpieces on any platform, including PC, PlayStation 4|5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Android, and iOS. Integrate with Unreal and Unity game engines, and easily implement multiplayer components including matchmaking, player profiles, leaderboards, and social media integrations. Optimize and monetize with cloud scripting, unlimited scaling, AI plugins, and payment integrations.


With pay-as-you-go pricing, Elements offers cost-effective packages available to fit every developer’s needs. Standard Cloud allows for cost-efficient flexibility, while Pro Cloud adds increased performance and security provided by dedicated hardware. Need an extra set of programming hands?

Adam MacDonald, lead developer of a top-down shooter called Shutdown created on the Elements platform from Xenum Games and Garage Studios: “Elemental’s team delivered a remarkably efficient solution that slashed our casts and propelled our time to market by a factor of ten. The seamless integration and swift deployment of Elements into our products were pivotal for the timely launch of our game, ensuring we met our critical release window with ease.”
