Influent, Language Learning Game, Welcomes Android Students April 21

LOS ANGELES, California – April 7, 2022 – Influent, the immersive language learning game from Three Flip Studios that’s been teaching second languages to more than 500,000 students on PC, enrolls scholars on Android via the Google Play Store on Thursday, April 21.

Grow your knowledge of a new language in a fun and engaging way – by playing games! Players can choose from more than 20 languages and start collecting words throughout the apartment of inventor Andrew Cross. Help him on his mission to learn as many words as he can while he live-streams the power of his new invention to the world! The groundbreaking device, known as the SanjigenJiten, can scan objects and provide its name, meaning, and pronunciation, in dozens of languages and Andrew has to find a way to prove it was stolen from him.

Discover more than 420 words throughout Andrew’s apartment, anchoring their meanings and pronunciations based on the context of where you’d expect to find them in reality, just like a child learns. Play five mini-games to test your knowledge from multiple angles such as textual and verbal comprehension to achieve mastery. Earn gold stars to unlock hidden Adjectives and Verbs and even pilot a toy spaceship and blast lasers at words that match the prompt in Seek and Destroy mode!

Track progression for each word in your vocab list and attain fluency through repeated success in each game, maintaining that skill over time, the same way language learning works in real life, just with more lasers!

Influent for Android contains many improvements over the original Steam version, including a revamped German translation and mobile-only Welsh, Polish, and Dutch language packs. Start playing and learning more smoothly with an overhauled tutorial and improved progress tracking. Join the community on Discord to share progress and high scores with others, regardless of whether they’re on iOS, Android, or Steam.

“After releasing Influent for iOS, I heard from many people that they wanted an Android version,” said Rob Howland, creator of Influent and Co-Founder of Three Flip Studios. “I’ve put a lot of time into optimizing the Android version and working on cool new features including an in-depth tutorial to make that first step into learning a new language as simple and fun as possible.”

Influent comes to Android via the Google Play Store Thursday, April 21 as a free download with French, Italian, and Korean packs available at no cost. An additional 20 language packs are available as in-app purchases for $3.99 each.

Influent language packs include English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin Chinese, Swedish, Latin, European Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish, Hindi, Ukrainian, Hungarian, Dutch, Polish, and Welsh.

PHOENIX, AZ – April 7, 2022 – Happy Humble’s Burger Farm, the terrifying adventure cooking sim developed by the Scythe Dev Team and published by tinyBuild, serves demonic burgers with an extra-large side of dread on Nintendo Switch today after gathering more than 100 million views on YouTube since its launch on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

Fulfill customer orders as the new night shift manager at Happy’s Humble Burger Farm. Fire up the grill, cook putrid puke patty burgers, remove rats (alive or dead) from the premises, and maintain the restaurant’s top-notch customer service. Fail to fulfill management duties though, and Happy the Humble Heifer will turn horrific.

Happy and her Barnyard Buds may act as lovable mascots for the restaurant, but once the lights go off, there’s no escaping their wrath. Keep the place clean by unclogging toilets, deter otherworldly entities from disrupting the customer experience, and survive enough nights to uncover the dark secrets of the restaurant’s hometown, New Elysian City.

Search every inch of the mysterious metropolis to regain lost memories and unravel a conspiracy theory extending beyond the burger joint to include the largest corporations in town. Collect hidden tapes and scattered research papers, check out the seemingly abandoned buildings and empty corners, and tune into local television and radio stations to dig deep into the New Elysian’s unseen abominations.

Survive Petey the Portly Pig’s burger grenades, escape Sammy the Surly Salmon’s killer jaws, dodge Charlie the Chillin’ Chicken’s explosive eggs doubling as land mines, and don’t ever touch The Farmer’s scythe if you plan to survive.

Nothing is as it seems in this menacing municipality inspired by classic horror titles. Happy’s Humble Burger Farm features ‘90s style graphics reminiscent of the 32-Bit era. The immersive psychological experience features hours of talk radio, more than 60 TV programs, and an enhanced chilling soundtrack with nine exclusive albums that has captivated burger flippers across the world.

“Happy’s Humble Burger Farm is unlike anything we’ve ever played, amalgamating the best elements of genres that are polar opposites,” said Kaleb Alfadda, Lead Programmer. “We hope Happy the Humble Heifer, Petey the Portly Pig, and the other gruesome Barnyard Buds will keep the night shift on the edge of their seats.”

Happy’s Humble Burger Farm is available today via the Nintendo eShop for $19.99/€19.99. It horrifies players in English, Brazilian Portuguese, French, Italian, German, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish (Latin America), Traditional Chinese, and Turkish languages.

Competitive farming returns, as publisher and developer GIANTS Software prepares for the new season of Farming Simulator League (FSL): The fourth season of the popular Farming Simulator esports mode starts with the first online tournament May 14. A revised open beta is now live and GIANTS invites everyone to test the updated client.

New Client Increases Speed
The new Tournament Client increases the speed of various harvesters and the overall gameplay of the competition. Up to 40% more harvesting speed will ensure that the combatants have to be quick on their toes as soon as the harvest is ready to be processed into bales. While looking for a variety of power ups to gain a strategic advantage, players will have to adapt to the optimized drop locations. Teamwork is still the key to success to coordinate harvesting, production and delivery to achieve a higher score than the opposing team of three.

First FSL Tournament Scheduled For May 14th
GIANTS Software kicks off the fourth season of its esports activities with the first online tournament taking place the weekend of May 14^th to May 15^th. The FSL tournament will be live-streamed on the official GIANTS Software Twitch channel. More announcements regarding FSL Season 4, sponsors and the prize pool follow shortly.

“We’re very excited for the return of the FSL and our refined competitive dynamics,” says Claas Eilermann, Event & Esports Manager at GIANTS Software. “We’re ready for a great season. Once again, we’re working with our dedicated players and partners to further develop the Farming Simulator League and gain even more traction in the world of esports.”
 
Free Esports Mode Available To Download
The free to download Tournament Client invites every Farming Simulator fan and esports enthusiast to register and compete. Based on Farming Simulator 19, the esports game mode requires teamwork to expertly harvest wheat, produce bales and quickly deliver them to a barn. A training mode for newcomers is included.
