I’m playing So To Speak 🍙 It’s vocabulary, speed, and me pretending I definitely know that word. Probably. If you enjoy chaotic word energy, come hang out. www.twitch.tv/onigirisoldier www.youtube.com/@onigirisold... #SoToSpeak #VTuber #OnigiriSoldier

Live dev interview now with @piratesoftware.live! www.twitch.tv/piratesoftware

We have a new #indiegamedev interview up today with @eland.bsky.social as we discussed his game So to Speak, and the challenge of making a puzzle game enjoyable from beginning to end youtu.be/8izybgYt7b4

Hello indies! It's almost Thanksgaming 2025! If you have an unknown indie project in dev or just released, please could you email me at [email protected] with the subject "THANKSGAMING 2025", and a store page and YouTube link? I'll put as many as I can on Kotaku. Rules next. Reposts appreciated!

I like the feature to put Duolingo scores on Linkedin, but I wish it would also show the course's max possible score. Many courses are too short to get beyond "Elementary proficiency"

A very special thank you to @eland.bsky.social for allowing us to play their game! The art looks amazing and I can't wait to play it! GET IT HERE: store.steampowered.com/app/1779030/... #sotospeak

So to speak #review ⛩️ Grey area 🔹 EXPECTATIONS: a edutainment game. 🔹 REALITY: something between a game and educational material, but not fully one nor the other.

Thanks for interviewing me @hitsave.org! I met Jonas at So to Speak's very first public event, BostonFIG Virtual, in 2021 (!) So it was fun to piece together what happened in the last 4 years of development. Hit Save! is a great video game preservation organization.

We sat down with @eland.bsky.social, developer of the innovative Japanese learning puzzle game So to Speak. What started as a personal mission became a six-year solo development journey that transformed an academic researcher into an indie game developer. hitsave.org/from-phd-to-... #indiegame
