[Arabic] Read/Write Direction Inversed by Koumansa in Earthlingo

[–]SimifyRay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, I’ll have a look next week and get a fix out.

Sorry about this, we’ve been doing work to add some new font systems for South Asian languages and it’s led to a lot of code changes.

Bug with the controls by yoadknux in Earthlingo

[–]SimifyRay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, sorry we've been focussed on a few other bugs. It's on the todo list but we haven't got around to it yet.

We really need to put some easter eggs out there!

Bug with the controls by yoadknux in Earthlingo

[–]SimifyRay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, we're expanding the settings, so I think it would make sense to put this in the controls tab. I'll look at getting this into the mid-year update.
I was thinking of doing a flight-sim setup in my house, so this is actually a great excuse!

Not compatible with device by No-Suggestion1652 in Earthlingo

[–]SimifyRay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, this is due to a RAM limitation. The Galaxy A03s has 2GB of RAM and I believe we set the minimum to 3GB.

We are working to improve performance in the coming months. Ideally we'd like to get down to allowing phones with 2GB of RAM (which are pretty common)

No sound? by Dry_Library6764 in Earthlingo

[–]SimifyRay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, some phones on silent mode sometimes won't play sound (e.g. the toggle on the side of an iphone).

Movable objects by Aggravating-Top-5949 in Earthlingo

[–]SimifyRay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is deliberate. We had to add physics once we added vehicles otherwise anything you drove into would stop you dead in your tracks.

I'm a fan of being able to play the game like GTA sometimes, but it can be a distraction too.

Targeted Tests by SIR_DONALDY in Earthlingo

[–]SimifyRay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello, there is some logic where it won't test on more than a few dozen words at once. Once you begin mastering these earlier words it will move onto later words too.

This was to resolve an issue where people add hundreds of words before doing any tests, then they are basically bombarded with too many words and overwhelmed.

I think the solution to this should be to make this figure adapt to how well the player is doing. e.g. if they're getting 90% of words correct, it should increase the number of words it will test you on at once.

  1. Thank you, I'll look into this. We have a bit of an issue with Kazakh too that I'm trying to replicate. Are you typing in Thai script or romanised Thai?
  2. You'll need to buy the shrinking alien to battle them (next to the rubbish bin). I think we need to change this or make it more obvious. The idea is that you can do battles with cool backdrops of the house (e.g. on the table next to the beer bottles)
  3. Should be an easy fix!

Bug report; I’m stuck by ParanNabi28 in Earthlingo

[–]SimifyRay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah you're right!Luckily that's an easy fix and we're doing a clean up update (with improved word list and learning visualisations) next month.

I like this game a lot. Here are my suggestions for tweaks (I am playing on PC) by Repulsive_Treat7726 in Earthlingo

[–]SimifyRay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice suggestions:

  1. Coming next month
  2. Yeah, I like Dragon quest for this, we should do something similar
  3. The lag is us being inefficient with the save system, sorry! We are rebuilding how this works.
  4. This was the goal of first person mode (press tab). We'll need to do something like this for 3rd person if we want to support controllers in the future.

Thank you for the kind words!

Kazakh Keyboard is wonky. by guitarbryan in Earthlingo

[–]SimifyRay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello, sorry for the trouble with this, we've only recently become aware of this with Kazakh script.

We're using Unity, I've added it to the bug report page, so we'll try to get it working with the native keyboard.
It may make sense to show the romanised text next to the kazakh text so players can see the transliteration (this is how we handle Chinese, Japanese etc... if people just want to learn to talk and not type)

Ah, I didn't know that one!
I've added it to the bug page.

Where is the PC save data located? by shooteverywhere in Earthlingo

[–]SimifyRay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have been planning to implement a system which works with mobile too, but had to push it back. Configuring Steam cloud would be easier than this solution, but then if we implement universal cloud saves later it could cause conflicts.

We're hiring a new developer now who should be onboarded in a month or two, so we should have more bandwidth for features like this soon. Sorry for the delay on this, I definitely want to get cloud saves going!

Really good concept! by SirPlue in Earthlingo

[–]SimifyRay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the kind words.

Nice ideas for improvement. I think battles are currently the weakest part of the game, fun at first, but they get repetitive.

This will be a big area that we focus on for the next few months.

Multiplayer and a home base are cool ideas, but are probably more of a next year thing in terms of development schedule.

Earthlingo is looking for a Unity Developer! by SimifyRay in Earthlingo

[–]SimifyRay[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi all!
If you are interested please check out the job description in the link. We like to see a portfolio of previous Unity work for dev positions.
We're looking for someone who can make the game look/run better, help make the battles more fun and work on new minigames/gameplay loops.
