Location and update Suggestions

[Spooky]

We want to hear from the Influent community. What kind of location and updates would you like to see for Influent?

[Eenoor]

Good to see you're still taking suggestions, can I suggest a factory location.

Also, I have a question about the suggestions, are any of the ideas (as in locations and such) in the plan to be implemented at some point?

Hey there!

I've been playing Influent for a little while, and I really like it so far, however, as I've been experimenting with many other ways to learn Swedish, I've noticed some very usefull tricks other educating platforms use. Here are some, that would greatly benefit this game.

- Use words in a sentence. Provide a dialogue with a missing word perhaps, where players find the related object.
- Make verb learing more interactive. When I'm in time attack with a verb like "cleaing" as the next word, I'd really love it if I'd actually have to clean something with my character to be marked as correct. Maybe the task could be very specific, like "clean the oven" and the player would have to walk up to the oven and use a cloth to wipe some dirt off of it.
- Make us type those foreign words so we could memorize them better. Make us say them to get the pronounciation right.
- Place an NPC in the room and make him/her interactive to establish a dialogue and teach the player about phrases. Record sentences in the foreign language for every object and make him/her remark on them with these simple example sentences, like "we wash ourselves clean with the soap" or "children like to play with toys like that". Maybe give her the ability to play the time attack game with us using simple commands instead of just words, like "find the cat!" or "where's the pillow?" this will not only expand the vocabulary, but teach complete phrases.

On the other hand, I really hope you plan on expanding this great game. I'd love to see several other locations related to transportation, recreation, night life, health care, outdoors, or simply a suburban area around the apartment's exterior.

Thanks for your consideration!

It is cool if there was a way to have a mobile app which works with the game so you can learn your words on the go. Every time you learn new words the game syncs with your phone so you don't have to manually update it. maybe there can be a space repetition system in place on the app or other mini games that can help you learn the language. Also, some notifications to help you remember to learn.

I was about to make more suggestions but it seem all are covered XD

Wish I had found this before the semester started, the Russian pack is great. Would love to see Icelandic. Is there a way to edit a word list? Maybe add a large mirror for body parts. Pets. Have a friend over so you can have short introduction talks with.

Haven't heard any updates in forever. Mods, are you still considering an expansion or addition to the game? I originally bought this expecting it to grow with time. I've been very patient but it's starting to look like all we'll be getting is new languages. Can we just assume that locations and dialouge are out?

[hmsugarbone]

The street, classroom, office, or grocery store would be awesome. I love the program but would be cool to learn more words that would be useful. I don't expect sentence structure or grammar lessons but wouldn't be bad either. Finally, I feel these environments would be best as DLC since it would allow everyone to keep current vocabulary while adding to it. In order to corporate all the vocabulary into a single quiz maybe use pictures instead of running around, or maybe a mixture of both. If these came out in DLC I'd buy them the second they come out for my kiddo.

I would like to see some more rooms or locations... and of course icelandic as a language

The small apartment is fine for a start. But it would be fun to be able to move around. Like have new zones open up. Like have a map open up when you leave the apartment and be able to go to the zoo, a restaurant, the mall, etc. If get going on Influent 2, see if it is possible to have dialogue. It would be even more awesome if you had to type the solution on a harder difficultly and have it play like it is some sort of modern day text based game. But sentence structure and grammar would be extremely difficult. And if you did make that game I wouldn't mind paying 50 bucks to play it.

Having one weak and slow hand
1) a single key e.g. 2 that mirrors the mouse d-click for timeatack etc
2) option too turn off cursor center on long mousekey press

[Ìrima]

Hello,
It would be awesome if the game had options to learn parts of the body.Like if you could press tab, and be able to learn the words for eyes,arms, legs etc etc.
Also,it would be cool if the eggs on the fridge were a bit more accessible.They're kind of hard to click on.
Thank you!

Have you considered releasing a new location as a series of small updates, possibly into a beta branch? Start with a simple scene with a few objects and support for few languages, then over a long time alternate between adding more items and adding languages. I think seeing the growth would help bring new attention to the project, even if it would take long to finish.

Would love to see something like this expanded into a mini city you could walk around in with locations like

+ Stores or a shopping mall with multiple types of stores inside
+ Restaurant
+ Outside of a house / garden area
+ Public park
+ Garage
+ Office
+ School
+ Bar / pub

I wouldn't mind the vocab overlap in some of the locations.

[Tharsh]

I know a lot of people have suggested office/school but I feel like, while they would be cool to explore, the majority of those words have been covered. I think a garden or restaurant (different food and ingredients) would be the most useful. Then again it's just a suggestion lol

[violetsprite]

I can't remember if I've posted already but a park, classroom, cafe, resturant, and a convenience store would be nice. Also have you considered making this app work in VR?

[Chick'n'Duck]

A way to pause the game, preferably the Esc button, which means a different button to abort a run.
