  Lingotopia 1.1 is out now

  Lingotopia 1.1 is out now! To celebrate the release Lingotopia is also 17% off for one week! This is a free update for those of you who own the game already and includes many new features, languages and bug fixes. Here are some of the changes: Multiple save games allow you to learn more than one language at a time. There are many new words to discover by exploring the city. Some of them will be available on your first play-through, however, some of them will only be visible after beating the game and starting again with your existing vocabulary. There is more cause and affect for your actions. You'll also be notified when your answer to a question changes the game's story. New languages! You can now learn Arabic by playing the game! There are also many more community translations. Tlingit, for example, is an endangered language spoken in the USA and Canada. I'm going to continue to support Lingotopia by working on bug fixes and perhaps also some new features. But will now devote most of my time and attention towards my next language learning game. It's a smaller project that should be done by early next year. Kind regards, Tristan

  Lingotopia 1.03 P1 - Bugfixes

  ​Hello! A new update with several bug fixes is live. Turkish special characters are now rendered properly. Player was able to jump on top of objects like the market stall. No longer are the red words to learn made bold when learning Japanese and Chinese in their native scripts. More complex characters became difficult to read. It was not possible to learn the word for piano, guitar and drums. Player speed no longer depends on performance. When talking to people, two of the three options to click on were sometimes the same word. When talking to people, sometimes one of the options could be the word "don" or "t" (the game was actually splitting the word "don't". Voice recording volume has been levelled further. In addition to this, I have further improved the camera, so that it's easier to make small adjustments. I'm now going to begin working on some exciting new features, you'll hear from me again soon. Sincerely, Tristan

  Lingotopia 1.03 New controls and camera!

  Hello everyone! I'm embarrassed to say that I didn't realise so many people would hate Lingotopia's controls. I'd gotten so used to them in the hundreds of hours I'd spent testing the game. In any case, I take all of your feedback to heart and have been hard at work implementing a different control scheme and less restricting camera. You'll no longer feel like a "tank". I hope you enjoy the game more with each update! There is still more planned for Lingotopia and I won't rest until I've made up for the shoddy launch. Thanks for reading and playing, Tristan

  Five new Steam games you probably missed this week (August 19, 2018)

  On an average day, about a dozen new games are released on Steam. And while we think that's a good thing, it can be understandably hard to keep up with. Potentially exciting gems are sure to be lost in the deluge of new things to play unless you sort through every single game that is released on Steam. So that’s exactly what we’ve done.  Flotilla 2 Steam page Released: August 17 Developer: Blendo Games Price: $10 Blendo Games is responsible for Gravity Bone, Atom Zombie Smasher, 30 Flights of Loving and a variety of other indie games. Among the ones you might not have heard of is Flotilla, a 2010 game of spaceship battles in 3D. Now there's Flotilla 2, which takes that same concept and puts it in VR. (I love the bit in the trailer showing how goofy you'll look in those goggles). A game that embraces the fact there's no "up" in space seems like it'll be a heck of an experience in VR. Lingotopia Steam page Released: August 15 Developer: Lingo Ludo Price: $20 Language-learning games and apps won't actually teach you a language, but things like Influent and Duolingo can be fun ways of adding to your vocabulary. Lingotopia's the same kind of deal—you're lost in a city where you don't speak the language, but you can click on objects to find out what they're called. When locals speak, you're invited to guess the meaning of one word until you get it right, from which point it'll be highlighted with a translation in the text. You can choose from a variety of languages, whether Japanese, Russian, Spanish, French, or several others. The camera's a bit swingy and if you're not into tank controls they might bug you, but I learned a few new words of German from Lingotopia and that's the whole point. Dad Quest Steam page Released: August 17 Developer: Sundae Month Price: $13 Plenty of games are about being a dad these days, and yet too few of them let you use your child...

  Lingotopia 1.02

  ​Hello everyone! Lingotopia has just been updated with some minor fixes and major changes to the way the camera works. The camera is still a work in progress and more improvements are incoming, but you can now rotate the camera by moving the mouse to the edge of the screen and not by clicking and dragging. You can also rotate the camera while walking. Bugfixes: You may have seen the guide walk on water or jump up rocks, essentially taking illegal shortcuts to get places. This no longer happens. The player no longer just stops when you walk into an object, you now "glide" off of objects in the environment. Levelled Japanese audio so all characters talk at the same volume. I will update the game again in a few days with more bugfixes, more changes to the camera and with drastic changes to the player character controls​. Sincerely, Tristan
