I know I'm replying to a 2013 post, but I did produce an Anki deck for this game. However, as Darrell has a copyright on the kanji descriptions, not sure if it can be distributed.

Is there an anki deck floating around for this game by chance?~

I just googled slime forest and found a Gundam Wing fanfic where one of the characters plays Slime Forest to try to learn Japanese. :-D

Also, I kinda want to talk to the maker of this game. He seems like a really interesting guy based on the sense of humor he uses in his explanations for the kanji.

Does anyone know if the game uses the updated Joyo kanji set? I've noticed it sometimes teaches ones that Jisho lists as not Joyo kanji, and the front page says the game has "nearly 2000" kanji while the Joyo set has 2128. If not, does anyone have suggestions for learning the remaining kanji?

I am running into a bit of an issue at times because the kana list that the game is using is about fifty years out of date.
O.o
I spent a long while in Japan, and I assure you that there are two kana in the game that effectively don't exist any more unless you are reading pre-world war era books... And even then...
:P Once I looked up a chart that had them I was ok, but wi and wi and we do not exist on most kana charts, and do not really exist in modern Japanese. ^^;
So, people who are not total beginners are actually at a disadvantage in this game, and people who are total beginners are learning information that they may have to unlearn if they want to be effective with the language.

Hmm, no, there are no spells at all.
When you try to buy a spell, the salesman even tells you not to be silly because magic does not exist, even though he does offer a spell. You can just never get it.

Didn't there used to be some kind of magic spell in the game that hit multiple enemies?

So who else is playing レイトン教授と逆転裁判？ Totally worth the cost. :D
I also played 極限脱出：ゼンニンシボウです。 Very, very , very good.
Time Travelers was pretty good, but had too many slow parts IMO. The last half of the game was definitely better. I have to say I might go back and make some crazy choices and see what happens, though.

This is a quick shoutout question: I am running the game on the Mac OS Lion and I cannot seem to use the candles, running shoes, or the like (especially when I am in the caves). I am not sure if it is just me or I am using the wrong keys.
Any help would be awesome! :D

Thanks for the recommendations JorritL. I actually started learning Japanese because i got Gigant Battle 2 for the NDS and even though it was a fighting game i wanted to understand the little details.
Then for some reason i ended up getting addicted to learning this language, It makes me feel productive and it's a skill few people have in the west, so it's pretty awesome.

@MinusSeven:
Having a Grand Line would require epic battles with wacky boss-level monsters.
I would definitely see how this could take the shape of a quiz-battle, like in for instance "Typing of the Dead" at the bottom of a cave or the top of a tower.
While this would sure be fun, this would require a large amount of work, which is probably not the first priority of Darrell right now. Remember that this is a one-man project...
@Manjisu:
Be sure to check out the non-hentai/ ecchi titles as well, there are some hidden gems, like the NDS title: 蟲師：天降る里 (Mushishi: amefuru sato)
Most of the kanji in that game are not that hard.
Another title is クレイモア 銀眼の魔女 (NDS), which has some fantasy-type kanji, but the rest of them are not that hard. I didn't really care much for the gameplay in that one.

Yes, the progress made, especially when it comes to the other game modes, is impressive.
I had hoped that he would partner with someone else or even to Open Source the engine (and keep the language files strictly for paying customers) to make the workload lighter on himself, but until now he has been quite stubborn on that matter. Being stubborn can be a boon in some cases. I'm thankful for the excellent learning aid that he has provided. I do have a lot of improvement suggestions.

I've been around for 4 years, and there wasn't a lot to the game back then.

Either way, he has posted updates to Twitter as recently as June and has updated things around the site as recently as July, so it's not like he's fallen off the map.
I want to say this project has been going for almost ten years now (I think that's about how long I've been following it), and it's normal for there to be a big batch of updates followed by months of relative silence.
It's all good, and I do enjoy the tiny Christmas feeling ^^

When I did vocab on SFA, I think it only had like 250 words. That wasn't nearly enough. And I only got to about 1300 on the kanji. It definitely helped, but it wasn't enough on its own.
I think I started reading the easiest manga (Yotsuba&) around 500-1000 words, and it was tough. But the more I read, the easier it got. The first volume took me *forever*. Seriously, it was like 30 minutes per page. The second volume was faster, and by the 4th and 5th volumes, it felt pretty good. Then I moved up to One Piece and other easy (but harder than Yotsuba&) mangas, and it was all hard again. I keep increasing the level gradually and now I'm reading games, wikis, light novels, etc.
iKnow is what I use for vocab, and it says I'm at 2800 words known. This is probably not accurate because there are a lot of words I skipped (I already knew them!) and probably a lot of words I've forgotten because I never found them in a book. (I don't do reviews on there. Reading is my review.)
Thanks for mentioning that sfa has 3000 words now. I should reinstall it and use it to help train my reading. It didn't have that feature last time I used it.

Great, that's more motivation for me. =)
From what it says in the website the game has around 2000 kanji and 3000 words.
Is that enough to continue to learn by reading manga, playing regular games, etc?

less --- even more
