Version 1.27 - Tweaks and News


Howdy! Progress on expanding the scope has slowed as I've gotten busier, and led to a funny conundrum: I made the game so I could learn Korean, but I was spending my free time programming the game rather than... learning Korean. I'll likely try to expand with features and scopes more aggressively during the summer, when I have an extended break from teaching work.

I've now reached Master 430 in my own game, and my Korean friends at work have been quite impressed with my rapid progress! I can recite both number systems, can state all the cardinal directions, and can talk about various objects I see.

Over 100 people have registered an email for the game, and I thank you for your support and patience as I continue to update the game further. Thousands of Korean words have gotten mastered.

The Game Update

This latest update is a bit minor, as I've replaced some words, updated the accuracy of others, shifted some ordering around, the usual suspects.

I've also made Mastering a word give a +10 experience bonus and adjusted the experience bar accordingly, which should help stay at the lower bound of the word count (22'ish) when still learning a batch and stick closer to the higher bound (28'ish) when excelling.

Finally, I've bumped up the chance of base verbs appearing, since it was a touch too hard to master them with the tense variation.

Important Feedback Request!

I'm also contemplating if there should be a reordering of some of the word packs. The way it works is that whenever words are added, it takes a word from some of the packs at the top. Once a pack of words is empty, it is discarded and the next pack starts getting chosen through. This gives a mix of different types of words, but some packs seem a bit far down as a result (like Color). Input on this would be welcome. The current pack order, prioritized from top to bottom:

  1. Foundational
  2. Essentials
  3. Basic Number
  4. Useful Expressions
  5. Travel
  6. Food
  7. Week
  8. Sino Number
  9. Places
  10. Month
  11. Direction
  12. Family
  13. Number
  14. Position

  18. Objects
  19. Body
  20. Clothing
