Performance, Polish, and Complexity Update

11 Oct, 2020

- Inspected every level and cutscene and removed performance blockers. Generally, this meant removing all dynamic lighting and using light probes. Performance should be excellent when there is only 1 camera and not too bad when there are two cameras (e.g., ship overhead view).
- We tweaked the lighting through the levels.
- We added some level complexity for the train level (final round has a train in every track) and the laser-rock level (again, lots more rocks of various colors).
- We added a new voice-over artist from Taiwan for the pronunciation of complex characters. The original voice artist remains when selecting simplified characters.

A little feedback regarding audio

So I've been looking forward to this, both to learn the characters, but also the pronunciations. The problem is that the "ding" sounds that you get when you select an option are loud, and override the sound of the verbal feedback. Could you please introduce options to separate the game sounds from the voice volume, that way I can get clear voice pronunciations?...

Update - Final Puzzle, Final Cut-Scene, 3 Volume Controls (SFX, Voice, Music)

15 Sep, 2020

We added a final puzzle to the end of the game along with a final cut-scene explaining more of the story. The puzzle is available on the last level.
The puzzle is introduced at the end of the first section (level 14). The puzzle is updated at the end of each section with terms you just learned, until at the end, you can read the entire message, and make use of what you learn.
We added 3 volume controls for SFX, Voice, and Music. You can crank up voice if you want to catch all the pronunciation really well and turn down SFX so that you don't get distracted.

Level 14 - Puzzle intro

Final cut-scene after the last level, just before the credits

Next release will be a maintenance/bugs/polish/performance release.

Thanks for your support!

Taiwanese mandarin

Hello, I found this through the Taiwan SubReddit and I was really excited to see someone actually implementing Taiwanese Mandarin into an interactive language learning game. I decided to play through it with my boyfriend (who is from Taiwan) so I could give you some input into our opinion of the game as a learner as well as a natural speaker. Overall I like the concept of your game. I like that you use practical application before introducing the language formally. I feel that helps me personally learn t...

Has this project been abandoned? If so, are there other similar titles available?

Will this project be picked up again in future and completed? It looks very interesting but I became apprehensive about purchasing because i see no signs of any activity or progress. If it turns out that this project is not active any more, does anyone know of similar projects that could be a worthy replacement?...

Hi there! Thanks for your game, I was looking for something like this for a long time and I had a great time playing it on my Steam Deck :) Your approach to language learning is very similar to the one taught at Refold or YouCanChinese . I would very much like to see episode 2, teaching e.g. time, (cardinal) directions, more relationships, elements etc. The minigame approach combined with a overarching s...
