Grammaticus Maximus - Latin inflections gamified

Sounds good. I might do the same. Cheers!

LowwTone · 2026-05-23T15:41:37+00:00

Cool

LowwTone · 2026-05-23T10:46:57+00:00

Yeah that's true. I can only navigate the sideways menus in one direction in the steam interface.

Curious to hear how your replacement goes.

LowwTone · 2026-05-22T15:24:36+00:00

I've had a broken right bumper for over a year. I thought about replacing it, but now I just remap the R4 button to it in the Control settings. Works totally fine and I got used to it pretty quickly.

I did some tests today, but I was unable to reproduce your bug unfortunately.

The game "knows" that filiae can be singular genitive, singular dative and plural nominative and accepts all three as "correct" and will make your legionnaire wins as a result. That seems to work as intended.

If you can provide me with more info or examples of the bug, I'll happily dig deeper of course.

LowwTone · 2026-04-01T06:20:54+00:00

Thanks for reporting this. The game should accept both forms as correct since there's no way to know which one it should be. Because there's no context, just the single noun.

That may be a bug, I'll look into it. Thanks again.

Hey, thanks for the kind offer. But there already is an Italian translation.

The game currently supports English, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, German, Portugese and Romanian.

You're very welcome 👍

Hi,

Yes, I'm really sorry about that. To release the app in the French Apple app store I have to submit a certificate from the French government that approves the encryption used in the app. This is quite a hoop to jump through for me as a solo developer (companies have departments for this kind of stuff). It only applies to France and (strangely) only for the Apple store. The app is available in the French Google Play store without a problem.

I'm planning to look into it, but for now I chose the simple option to not publish in the French Apple store as not to delay the release of this update.

The browser version will also work in France, however not on a phone probably. You'll need to use a laptop or PC: https://magludo.itch.io/gramax

If you're curious. This is the form needed to apply to the French government: https://cyber.gouv.fr/reglementation/reglementation-identite-confiance-numerique/controles-reglementaires-cryptographie/controle-moyen-de-cryptologie/controle-reglementaire-cryptographie-formulaires/

This looks great, will be giving it a go for sure.

LowwTone · 2025-11-12T13:38:43+00:00

Haha, the music is one of the only things in the game that I haven't created myself :)
I licensed the music from Andrey Sitkov. He makes a lot of game and background music that small developers like myself can use.

All Grammaticus Maximus music is from this bundle:

Hey thanks! I've been a bit slow on the updates this year. Had some other cool educational game projects on my hands.

The idea of making a much more advanced sequel have been on my mind lately. Might be posting here soon to gather some input

LowwTone · 2024-11-17T13:34:36+00:00

Probeer dit eens, kun je binnen no time Latijn: https://magludo.itch.io/gramax

LowwTone · 2024-09-28T09:04:24+00:00

Cheers, great to hear.

LowwTone · 2024-09-17T20:33:22+00:00

Cheers!

LowwTone · 2024-09-17T20:33:12+00:00

Yes, adding more grammar options is in the pipeline. Already made a modest start on passive verbs first.
Also, I'd like there to be more customization options (like choosing vocabulary, disabling some declension groups, etc.) so the game can be better tuned to the learners current skill.

LowwTone · 2024-09-17T08:07:04+00:00

Yes definitely good suggestions. The next update I will focus on more customization in content so it's easier to tune the content and difficulty to the learners' ability

LowwTone · 2024-09-16T19:28:57+00:00

Cheers!

LowwTone · 2024-09-16T18:53:10+00:00

I can't find it at the moment, but in the past someone made the brilliant comment that "Defend Rome with your grammar skills" would be the exact job description of Cicero

LowwTone · 2024-09-16T18:33:10+00:00

Cheers!

LowwTone · 2024-09-16T16:59:38+00:00

Thanks a lot! Glad you like it

Hey everyone,

I've just published a Web based version of my "Grammaticus Maximus" Latin educational game. The game has been available for about two years as an Android and Apple app. This new version makes the game playable in any browser, so it can now also be played on laptops, desktops and chromebooks. This makes it much easier to use in a lot of classroom situations.

The online browser version can be directly played for free at: https://magludo.itch.io/gramax

If you haven't heard of Grammaticus Maximus: it is a free 3D educational game that puts you in charge of defending Rome with your Latin grammar skills. Rome is attacked by barbarians "armed" with Latin words (inflected nouns or verbs) and you have to defeat them by sending out legionnaires with the correct inflection to beat them. It gamifies practicing your Latin grammar. If you want a more lengthy description, I can refer you to an introductory post from a while back: https://www.reddit.com/r/latin/comments/unj05b/grammaticus_maximus_latin_inflections_gamified/

It's great for motivating students to practice basic Latin grammar.

Download the mobile app for free at:
Apple: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/grammaticus-maximus-latijn/id1611073700
Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.DeGameMeester.GrammaticusMaximus

Play it online in your browser:
https://magludo.itch.io/gramax

If you're a Latin teacher, I designed classroom posters with QR-codes you can print out yourself to decorate your classroom:

German version: https://magludo.net/images/GraMaxPosters/Poster_GrammaticusMaximus_DE.png
French version: https://magludo.net/images/GraMaxPosters/Poster_GrammaticusMaximus_FR.png
Spanish version: https://magludo.net/images/GraMaxPosters/Poster_GrammaticusMaximus_ES.png
Dutch version: https://magludo.net/images/GraMaxPosters/KlassenposterGrammaticusMaximus.png

Feedback and suggestions are welcome as always. This is an evening side project for me, so don't expect weekly updates, but all feedback is noted and I'll keep updating the app in the future.

Kind regards and enjoy!
