I recently built a language learning app with a slightly different approach. I deliberately didn't want it to be another Duolingo-like app. I think users should be able to choose what they want to learn and when. The main idea behind Language Audio Trainer is that you can simply press Play and listen to useful phrases in the background with the screen off — while walking, driving, cooking, etc. You can skip or repeat phrases, change the speech speed and number of repetitions, and choose the translation direction. There is also a flashcard mode for when you want to study more actively. I'd be interested to hear what you think about this approach to language learning. iOS: https://apps.apple.com/app/playling-language-trainer/id67619...

[Hobby / Non-Commercial] Solo dev seeking a Level Designer Hey all, I’m a solo dev working on a first-person survival exploration game and I’m hoping to find someone who’s into level design to help me out. It’s not paid — I’m doing this in my spare time and there’s no budget or revenue promise, so this is purely a hobby collab. Just want to be upfront about that. Quick pitch: it’s a first-person survival exploration game set in an abandoned subway after some kind of apocalypse. You go station to station through dark tunnels, scavenging scrap, trading and following a story. Where I need help is level design. The whole game is built from a modular kit — tunnel pieces, platforms, rooms, all with snap points — so it’s less “model everything” and more assembling and pacing the journeys. Placing the long dark stretches, the junctions where you pick a safe but long route vs a short but scary one, side rooms with loot, that kind of thing. I’d rather keep it small and focused than pitch you some five-year plan, think a couple of well paced journeys, something that’d actually look good in a portfolio. Credit obviously guaranteed. I work in small iterations and playtest constantly so you’d see your stuff running in-game pretty fast. About me: I’m comfortable with the programming/systems side, level pacing is my weak spot. I’ve got a pretty detailed design doc and a short clip of the current build I’m happy to share if you’re curious. If any of this sounds fun, reply here or shoot me a DM and we can talk out together. Happy to answer whatever. Cheers 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic
