Influent Language Learning Game

Finally Some Good News!You heard it here first! Influent got an update! Nothing too fancy so please hold your applause until after these announcements. That being said, some of you lovely language learners out there may be very happy with this update so drop me a like or a comment if that's you! ːdoobːLanguage Pack FixesFirst and foremost, I have addressed the Korean and German language pack issues that have been reported multiple times in the past few months... or years or however long this as been going on. Apparently, at some point, the Korean Language Pack somehow reverted back to a much older version of itself. Well that's no longer a thing thanks to some awesome backups that past me made just in case something like this happened. Thanks past me!!Additionally, some other problems were reported with the German Language Pack that I went through and addressed so those random missing audio pronunciations and a few other mixed up words should all be a thing of the past! Danke to everyone that pointed these issues out to me.Linux Gameplay FixesI feel like this issue has been present on Linux in one form or another since the game launched over a decade ago but I believe I&#

What the heck is this? We know this game is wildly different than Influent so apologies for bugging you if there's absolutely zero interest but we still hope you might like it! It's family-friendly and a love-letter to the couch-party style games of yesteryear. If that floats your boat, check out the Release Date Announcement Trailer below! Word on the Street If that trailer got you hyped to play it, please do us a solid and tell at least one other person about it. We don't really believe in advertising because we hate ads. Honestly we have no idea how things gain momentum in the collective subconscious but we're guessing it has something to do with word of mouth. If that trailer alone didn't blow your mind, then maybe the Arcade Edition Reveal Trailer will! Here's a list of arcade locations. Wish Upon a Blob Here's a link to the Steam Store Page for Armed and Gelatinous: Couch Edition in case you're feeling extra jiggly after watching the trailer. Wishlist it to get updates when it releases on May 2nd, 2024! Sale Time! To celebrate our big release date announcement, we're discounting Influent for the next two weeks! For those who don&#x

Now What Have I Done? After removing the storyline from the game due to excessive complaints in recent user reviews (and poor sales) since the update, it appears most players were unhappy with that decision! Perhaps I jumped the gun a bit there when I removed the story. I appreciate everyone's support in saying they actually enjoyed it and that it should still be included. So yes, it's back. Why Did I Even Remove It? Like I literally just said! Ever since I released the last big update, the reviews, forum posts, and overall sales have been pretty terrible to look at. People have some pretty awful things to say about Influent and I guess it took a toll on me as a solo indie developer. I don't think most people realize it's just me making this peculiar language learning game. PSA to anyone unhappy with Influent: When you rip into my game after playing it for fifteen minutes and tell me how terrible you think it is, do you think that makes me want to keep working on it? It honestly makes me want to set it on fire and walk away. Am I Okay? I'm honestly doing fine! Mentally anyway. Financially? Lol! But that's my fault from all the avocado toast I've b

Sayonara Storyline That's right folks! Influent's story is finally dead! Let's face it, it was garbage to begin with. I don't know who came up with all that nonsense but it definitely wasn't me. Okay maybe it was me but I promise it was going somewhere until in 2013 when the くそ hit the fan and development screeched to a halt. What happened you might ask? There's a great quote by John Lennon about how life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans. So yeah, it never got finished and I'm sorry to anyone who liked it but it's gone now. Maybe I'll rewrite it someday, who knows! Adios Chat Events I spent months developing a chat system so the characters could talk to each other in-game like an RPG kinda thing but it turned out to be a lot of slow-paced clutter and people have complained heaps so that's almost completely gone now! I'm sorry I ever programmed it into existence. That's just me apologizing to myself for wasting months of time. It's cool, everything's fine. I'm not crying. Why would I be crying? Ciao Tutorial Yeah I guess it might have helped a few people and I'm sure it mi
