@Medoc94148312 Haha thanks! I think The Way would still need some updates beyond incorporating fully original assets. I'd want to re-work the beginning of the game, re-work the plunge, redo some of the maps, completely overhaul the battle system, just off the top of my head.

Now that I've moved Learn Japanese RPG from RMXP to Unity, it is clear I could do the same with The Way (RM2K to Unity).

@zeelee3D Thanks for playing! Hope you have a great time with it! 😄

@a__wendy_ Hello! Yes, I am the dev. Because of the engine it is built on, localization poses a major technical challenge. I am not yet sure how I will address this and am still focused on other areas for now. I'll keep you in mind though!

[Lun Calsari @LunCalsari]

@SaberMage Thanks! It teaches a lot more than just hiragana. If you're still a beginner it may benefit your reading, listening, and comprehension skills a lot. Hope you have fun with it!

[Lun Calsari @LunCalsari]

@naryunic @RadicalFishGame Me too! Hope to see more immersive learning games like this in the future.

[Lun Calsari @LunCalsari]

@Gale_Storm_ Thanks! Hope you give the free demo a try!

[Lun Calsari @LunCalsari]

@Xaendr24Olivera Thanks! There's a free demo available on the Steam store page for anyone who wants to try it out.

For someone new to learning Japanese this game absolutely SLAPS. I've been trying to learn this stuff for ages and have never engaged with learning like I do with this game. Totally worth it imo. Yeah, I got a review copy but I do truly mean this.

Almost 50 positive reviews on #Steam! Can a few kind souls help put this over the top? Would love to see the word "Positive" change to "Very Positive" soon! #indiegame

Successfully imported a map from Rpgmaker into Unity. Even got the autotiles working, which was more tricky than I expected. So far it's just graphics. Passages, priorities, and events aren't yet imported. #rpgmaker #unity2d

[Lun Calsari @LunCalsari]

@morswiss @luisguapo Thanks! I'm still playing around with importing RPG Maker assets into Unity. Ideally, I'd be able to create an importer system that would do most of the heavy lifting for me. Then I could focus on revamping the graphics, music, battle systems, etc.

[Lun Calsari @LunCalsari]

Playing with Unity with a bit. Programmatically imported a multi-layer RMXP map for Learn Japanese RPG: Hiragana Forbidden Speech. The gaps are autotiles which my importer doesn't support yet. #rpgmaker #IndieGameDev

[Lun Calsari @LunCalsari]

@AlberniSanders @luisguapo Thanks so much. It's very gratifying to hear such words, and I'm happy that you connected with it.

[Lun Calsari @LunCalsari]

@luisguapo With the help of AI and a Kickstarter it just might be possible someday.

[Lun Calsari @LunCalsari]

@mire_tyler Thanks Tyler! So far it's going very well. I'll take a look at Tiled right now. Thanks for mentioning it.
