About This Game Lingotopia is a language learning game about being lost in a city where you don't speak the language. Learn Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Russian, Spanish and more! You play a little girl shipwrecked on the shores of a strange island. In order to get back home you'll need to explore the island and talk to its inhabitants. Sadly, no one speaks your language! You'll have to learn words one at a time to decipher what these strange creatures are saying.How does it work?Explore a lovingly handcrafted city.Click on objects in the environment and your guide will teach you the word for them.Learn words by talking to the city's inhabitants.Voice recordings by native speakers teach you the correct pronunciation.Learning a language with a different script? Toggle between the romanised and native script at any time.Words you know can be translated when they appear during conversations. So, the more words you know, the more you'll begin to feel at home in this strange place. You might even be able to find a way off the island!Will this really help me learn a languageYes! Learning words is the most important part of language learning. You can learn several hundred words by playing Lingotopia. As the game only translates individual words and not entire sentences, you also learn word order and grammar by playing. All dialogue in the game is tied to the setting and story, so you have a reason to decipher each and every sentence.What languages can I learn?The official languages are Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Russian, Spanish. You can learn English in each of these languages. There are also over 20 "unofficial languages", these don't have voice recordings and I won't be able to vouch for the accuracy of the translations. 7aa9394dea Title: LingotopiaGenre: AdventureDeveloper:Lingo LudoPublisher:Lingo LudoRelease Date: 16 Aug, 2018 Lingotopia Ativador Download [addons] I've been excited for this game since I first saw it on Kickstarter, as I thought it would be an interesting way to learn Japanese, a language I have fallen in love with. Unfortunately, I was unable to support it at the time, but it appears that I may have dodged a bullet. I bought this expecting it to be a great way to help myself learn a new language. Instead, what I got for my not insignificant \u00a315 was a glitchy, infuriating mess. The player character, as well as their guide, clipped through every conceivable object. The handling on the player character was so similar to that of a broken shopping trolley that I often felt I got to my destination in spite of the controls. There were many spelling errors in the English, and I had to force quit because the game didn't feel like continuing. I was incredibly disappointed, and I feel like \u00a315 was far too much to pay for such a broken game.EDIT:It has been a few days since the game has been released, and the developer has done a wonderful job of fixing bugs and other quality of life changes. It pleases me to say that I can now recommend this game. The only problem I have with it now is that the player character still handles like a tank, and the game is padded slightly by the character feeling like they're walking through treacle. Apart from that, however, it is a great way to expand your passive vocabulary in a language.. It's a good game, but it seems too advanced for any beginner in any language, except maybe Spanish or French. I don't think I'd recommend it for language learning, sorry.. As with the release day of any game, the game is very buggy at the moment and that should almost be expected as it happens to all games. What doesn't happen for all games though, is having an understanding and dedicated developer who will listen to every complaint and work towards fixing things quickly. Playing through the game for the first time I reported every bug I found, and got an acknowledgement of it and effort toward fixing it. So I am sure this game will work out its bugs and polish up considerably in the future.The current price tag may seem a little steep, but some things to keep in mind is that unlike other language learning games like Influent, you are buying ALL the languages currently offered on Lingotopia all at once, and likely all future languages that will be offered on Lingotopia as well. You get the plethora of officially supported languages, but also the long list of unofficial languages as well (Which are being constantly updated by the community) At the current moment, buying this game for just one language probably isn't worth it, but if you are looking at it as buying a game for 4 languages (Like I am), then now it is a language resource that is more like 5$ per language. The developer is very passionate about the game however and I think we could see much more content added in the future, so I think this game will do better than some of the other first day reviews might suggest. I have found myself enjoying this game more the more I have played it.. I think this is a good start to a game, but I feel at its current stage, it should be labeled alpha, and it should have a story line. Right now, I can't tell if there is even a story line.. I want to leave a review here because many people gave bad review because of the bugs in this game. I can definitely say that a lot of those bugs are fixed quickly by the devs and by version 1.02 it is playable for me. There are some more things I would like to be changed by the devs such as the movement controls which feel like driving a tank, but I'm sure the devs are working on it and I will update this review when the devs changed the movement system.As for learning the language? Yeah, it really feels like you are dumped in a strange environment with a strange language that you must learn to understand what the people are saying. Really helps with the immersion problem I've been having when learning a new language. I managed to learn extremely quickly using this game, so I say this game really achieves the goal of helping people learn a new language.It is rare seeing a language learning game like this in Steam, other than Influent as far as I know, but it's good that we're having more of these games. I am sure the devs will quickly fix the bugs and the controls in time, so if you're reading this devs, please don't get discouraged by the bad reviews, okay?Oh and thank you for making this game, it really helps my language learning!. Just had to come back here and check if it states "Alpha" or "Early Access" or "Rip-Off" somewhere.... Nope.. I really would love to love this game, but I simply can't bring myself to in its current form. Despite that, I will provide some of the pros and cons of this game. Let's start first on a positive note:+ Good concept and would be great for people who prefer an exploratory method of language learning.+ Automatically saves words into a list in order of how they are learned.+ Provides written and spoken pronunciation guidesNow on to the bad news:- Tank controls: No game in the modern age needs tank controls and if they did, they had better run much more smoothly than this. Moving the character is like a slip and slide that no one asked for.- Spoken guides are extremely quiet and the sound quality is lacking. I would also appreciate an option to slow down the audio to better hear how new words are spoken. Also, when selecting a word in the dictionary, the spoken guide occasionally does not match what is written. - Clipping happens way too often.- fixed camera angles makes it hard to see where you are going and\/or the camera clips through NPCs when engaged in a conversation.Overall, I would not recommend this game to anyone as it is now. I am hoping that the developers will continue to improve it as time goes one, because I do like the concept and it would be a fun and unique way to learn a language on ones own. Hopefully, we can see something a little more polished in the future.. -All-in-all, this game can be summed up as half-baked. -Let's start of with the positives. There is demand for language games and the general concept and atmosphere works fairly well for that demand. when the atmosphere works right and the music (If you can find it) plays, the game does lighten up and become less boring and\/or tedious.-Sadly, there's many more negatives than positives. First things first, -This is not a $20 game. This is at most a $10 dollar game. I understand that hiring various voice-actors for various languages isnt cheap but there's nothing in the game that could really solidify a $20 price as is. -This game isn't finished and is advertised as finished -The camera and movement are terrible. The camera is stiff and is stuck in an uncomfortable bird's-eye-view that is only able to be moved horizontally. If the camera was in a 3rd-person view the game would open up more and the aesthetic could really shine with the designs and the music. -The movement is just as bad and dated as the camera, as the character controls like a tank( as previous reviews have stated). Directing the character by mouse in some way might make the control of the character be easier and more smooth. -The content of the language learning so far seems to be far and few between with few words padded out only with long walks between characters. In this state, the game is just too inefficient to learn a language -The pathinding for AI is pretty bad( especially with the person you follow, who will walk through the river and into houses). I paid $20 for this game. I cannot believe I did that. This is at most a $5 game. Absolutely rife with bugs. Gameplay is very boring and feels like an amateur high school project. Many flaws that hinder gameplay and enjoyment and unless you feel like joining the discord to pester a defensive dev to fix them, they will most likely not be fixed, since the dev has stated that he is not interested in updating the game any further. Having played the game in both a language I know and a language I don't, I feel like beginners would learn very little of their target language, and certainly not enough to 'supplement' their language learning journey. Clearly the dev did little research into language learning. Absolute scam.
