I played Maplestory and grinding games over many years and had alot of fun and made many nice friends, but in its basics all i did was leveling up characters by running around in a map over many hours and killing monsters. I got used to learn vocabulary or learn for school while grinding. I always had one eye on the screen, the other eye in my books^^ One day i had the idea to put both together and started to create a maplestory fangame, where i can grind my japanese vocabulary :) The game is growing by every day, and i input more and more vocabulary. If you want to have a fast look feel free to watch this movie:

[VIDEO]

I wished some famous gamedesigners would create games like this in a professional way. Imagine there would be a MMORPG, where people move in a great world like maplestory and learn a new language :) I have seen people with so much potential who are grinding like 24 hours to get more and more Level Ups, but in the end one day the game server is closing and they lose their character. If they would learn something by grinding, they would be able to speak for example a new language after some years of grinding and if the server is getting closed they wont lose what they have earned :) Education MMORPGs would be really a great thing :D

Here are still some screenshots from my game, if you dont want to watch the video:

Characters are actually created by banned story, and then you can add them into the game and give a name :)

image
In every new map 5 new vocabulary are coming.

image
The higher the level of the monster, the more vocabulary it knows.

Nice training grounds :)

Yes... the game and the vocabulary is still growing by every day. :) If you like my idea and what i do, you can wait for more videos and things i will post here. If you know famous game designers tell them to make a professional game like this, where people can play and learn together :)

[Information: Iam not the owner of Maplestory or anything shown in my fangame. I just created a vocabulary trainer for myself with the game content and show it to people to tell them my idea, and how to improve MMORPGs for education reasons ;) Thats it. ]

    I like it, as someone that both speaks japanese and is actively learning japanese I would find this useful for my needs. It also reminds me of LRNJ Project's Slime forest game

    Has LRNJ bee updated any? last update I see is in august, but idk of what year. I'd love to try out one of these types of games to see how it compares, but I don't want to waste time/money on a vastly incomplete game.

    Just for notice: Its a very private made fangame. I will never sell it or plan to make profit with this in anyway. My intention is to motivate others to keep learning and being creative by themself :)

    Learning Japanese. Sounds like a good way to motivate.

    Yet I can barely speak English as it is...

    By learning Japanese i improve my English alot aswell since like all Apps and education software for learning Japanese are in English ^^ So i decided to create even my own game in English, so more people can understand it :) By the way, here is a new video where i show how a new map is created in my game.

    wait so can we download this somewhere and expand it ourselves? (or open source / anything of that sorts), as I'm studying game development myself i'd be very interested in this.
