What do you think would be the best language learning video game or board game?

I imagine a videogame would be great for immersion.

I've always liked the idea of a book where a language is slowly introduced to the reader, and they can work out the meanings of the words either via context or through recognition. There is Studien und Plaudereien, but I'm thinking more, like, fantasy or something. I think Nadsat is introduced like that in A Clockworck Orange, but I haven't read that.

I can't imagine a board game being super effective, unless is was, like, about the language (I think there's a (pen and paper) rpg where the magic system is based on Japanese or something?). But a game like that would imbalanced if the players had differing levels of competency in the language.

I do think a game for learning a language - if it's supposed to be competitive (or maybe even collaborative? I can imagine it might not be super fun if one person does all the work) - shouldn't be primarily about the language, but should instead have learning the language as a 'side effect' of playing the game.

I was kinda thinking about a game like King's Quest or the Sims. You would have click on the word from a menu or something.

A MUD (multi user dungeon) might be best for this. They are text-based role-playing-type games.

You could design one that begins with English and gradually introduces words in Esperanto; eventually becoming 100% Esperanto. This would take quite an effort to design well, but I suppose it could be a collaborative project.

It's probably possible to hack the mud engine to use esperanto prompts and commands for the basic actions of moving around and what not. CoffeeMUD seems to have a feature for multiple language support.

You'd probably learn the words for north, south, etc. very quickly this way.

I learned a ton of words through the SIMS in my native language when I was i kid! Like "charismatic" and "daredevil" etc.

A game similar to the Sims in esperanto would be useful for learning, since it is based on everyday life situations: not only wars and zombies etc.

Yah. It would be cool but very hard to build unless there is some type of open source clone that could be used a base.

Check out this game. It is like FPS for learning words around the house:

That is a good idea for learning words.

A spelling game like Scrabble or Boggle could be helpful in becoming familiar with vocab. Or maybe even something like Scattegories.

Many current computer games (albeit closed-code) use localization files. Those can be easily overwritten and users are even encouraged to do so.
Just for the fun I translated the beginning of Skyrim to Esperanto.

EDIT: The game is called Skyrim (from the Elder Scrolls series) and not Skyfall.

Where do you find these files? Then how could we distribute the game to Esperantists?

I saw on the Esperanto forums that someone was translating a cloned version of Pokemon. That is cool but I am worried about copyright.

We are at a Tipping point in Virtual Reality Games, The Industry is VERY Close, the HTC Vive is going to bring these into the house very soon, I have experience'd "Tomorrowland" type "Recordings" ( Gear VR) -- But a High Quality Game in this field would be a good investment for the Movement.

As a Brand new Medium of Experience Virtual Reality is something that if Esperantist helped create (maybe during a Winter 3 week Experience) It would be Eaten Up,

To get started making VR games, you only need three things:
First, you need a VR headset. The best widely available option right now is the Oculus Rift DK2, which you can buy here for $350.
Second, you need a fairly capable gaming PC. ...
A recent version of Windows 7, 8 , or 10.

It’s like the early days of DOOM and Wolfenstein all over again. Nobody knows what a good VR game looks like, and the field is open for indie studios to become major players. If you want to make videogames, this may be the best opportunity you’ll ever have to make a name for yourself.
