I just finished up the sprite animations for Little Red in the Japanese kana practice game I'm working on called A Kana Zukin~

Just wanted to share, as it has been a while since I have had time to make progress on this. <3 Excited for the next steps!!

Happy lunar new year, everyone! This year Im especially excited cause its the year of my ppl, the snake!

To celebrate, I made wordsearch puzzles you can practice your Japanese kana with. The printable PDFs can be found here: www.nihongo-familiar.com/freebies/

New practice game update coming through~

So I ran into a problem this week for the kana practice game.

While setting up accessibility & internationality, I found out I cannot get the web speech API to work on my current engine choice. After a week of trying to find a solution, I am switching to Godot and have to redo it all. Alas~! 😫

New minor update for that kana practice game project. This is part of the boring stuff though (arguably)~

Either way, I'm trying to do better about sharing my progress on this project since I am notoriously bad at doing that.

As Kanagories closes, a phoenix shall rise from the ashes. Let's go mfs~

BAD NEWS DROP:
Kanagories will be shutting down by November 1st, 2024.

My apologies to anyone who really got into using it as a study tool! I am grateful for you, if you did. In the meantime, it will still be accessible until November 1st, 2024

We can use recipes as a tool to study Japanese. I wrote a quick blog post using PB & J as an example here: www.nihongo-familiar.com/insights/stu...

Lmk if this seems like a fun thing I should do more of, or how I can make it more accessible. I made a lot of graphic assets that I could reuse! 😄
