Summer's Almost GoneJust as the late great poet James Douglas Morrison once said, "When summer's gone, where will we be?" Well I know where I'll be and it won't be in school because I did my time already! My condolences to everyone currently packing their long forgotten schoolbags with fresh pencils, notebooks, and keshi-gomu ("erasers" in Japanese). If that's you, I know there are a thousand other things you would rather do than get up early and hurry off to math class but hear me out! You also get to rejoin your crew, tell epic summer stories, and maybe even make some cool new friends. Don't

Bless The RainsIf April Showers Bring May Flowers, then what do May Flowers bring? Sorry... was one of my Mom's favorite jokes from when I was but a wee lad. I'm guessing wee lad was probably something a Pilgrim would have said before they lost their British accent somewhere along the way. I wonder if it was a conscious decision for them to start spelling favourite without the U or pronouncing things like aluminium differently. Well, I'm not sure aluminium was even discovered yet but ANYWAY! Influent is now on sale at 50% off from today until May 7th to celebrate all the beautiful flowers of S

Finally Some Good News!You heard it here first! Influent got an update! Nothing too fancy so please hold your applause until after these announcements. That being said, some of you lovely language learners out there may be very happy with this update so drop me a like or a comment if that's you! ːdoobːLanguage Pack FixesFirst and foremost, I have addressed the Korean and German language pack issues that have been reported multiple times in the past few months... or years or however long this as been going on. Apparently, at some point, the Korean Language Pack somehow reverted back to a much o

What the heck is this? We know this game is wildly different than Influent so apologies for bugging you if there's absolutely zero interest but we still hope you might like it! It's family-friendly and a love-letter to the couch-party style games of yesteryear. If that floats your boat, check out the Release Date Announcement Trailer below! Word on the Street If that trailer got you hyped to play it, please do us a solid and tell at least one other person about it. We don't really believe in advertising because we hate ads. Honestly we have no idea how things gain momentum in the collective su

Now What Have I Done? After removing the storyline from the game due to excessive complaints in recent user reviews (and poor sales) since the update, it appears most players were unhappy with that decision! Perhaps I jumped the gun a bit there when I removed the story. I appreciate everyone's support in saying they actually enjoyed it and that it should still be included. So yes, it's back. Why Did I Even Remove It? Like I literally just said! Ever since I released the last big update, the reviews, forum posts, and overall sales have been pretty terrible to look at. People have some pretty aw

Sayonara Storyline That's right folks! Influent's story is finally dead! Let's face it, it was garbage to begin with. I don't know who came up with all that nonsense but it definitely wasn't me. Okay maybe it was me but I promise it was going somewhere until in 2013 when the くそ hit the fan and development screeched to a halt. What happened you might ask? There's a great quote by John Lennon about how life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans. So yeah, it never got finished and I'm sorry to anyone who liked it but it's gone now. Maybe I'll rewrite it someday, who knows! A

Happy New Year! In keeping with tradition, I've extended the Winter Sale deal another 2 weeks so if you just missed the deal Influent had going, there's still time to get on board with learning something new in 2023!

Good As New! Korean Language Fixes It took a few sleepless nights but the Korean language pack is back in action and should now be bug-free! Huge shout out to Steam user TOBESTAR for their help with reporting many of the issues as well as finding a few other gameplay bugs that slipped through the cracks. Also to HyeonJin Shin for coming in hot with 100+ new audio pronunciations! Other Noteworthy Updates The game should be running super smoothly now, specifically with regard to Reversal Mode! Beyond that, all Synonym settings should be respected when attempting Star Challenges as well! Here's a

Influent: Definitive Edition There's a brand new update in town and its broadly defined name is redefining the definition of definitive! That's right friends, not only is this new version of Influent so complete in its own definitiveness that it includes every single language pack released for Influent up to this point, it also includes three entirely new language packs plus a very much improved German language pack not to mention a very much corrupted Korean language pack!
