PSP Game: PlayEnglish

Posted on by

The Argentinian studio QB9 has published PlayEnglish, an educative adventure game that helps players both to learn English and develop their language skills while playing with their Sony® PSP.

I’m writing because we want to share with you the cheerfulness of having made the game PlayEnglish using Blender and Gimp for the characters. At the time of the pre-production part of the team who knew Blender, proposed it as a tool for the production of characters because of its speed and efficiency. The good thing is we could break many taboos. And so we wanted to share with the community.

The game is to learn English, as a semi-adventure game, it has a variety of cartoon-style characters. It was released in Spain a few weeks ago. With all that mess we just have recently put the screenshots on the web.

      Excellent work. Its good to know that many developers are now actively using blender for production.

      CONGRAT’S!!!

      That’s an excellent game concept! I hope it does well and helps people to learn English.

      I imagine you could remake the game to teach many other languages, including Spanish.

      This is awesome, the game looks great! Thanks for sharing and showcasing! I also use Blender and GIMP for almost anything. And with Blender 2.5 and GIMP 2.7 things will get even better – once again … ;)

      Greeting to Argentina from Germany!

      In EVA 2009 we talked about the use of blender for production and we exposed our analysis which determined the decision to use it. EVA is an exposition of video game from Argentina. I want to post the video about that.

      blndrusr:
      I really don´t know if we going to make an english to spanish version. Perhaps we will do versions that include other languages to english.

      retro world:
      I think the game is on shelfs, and could be also in PSN.

      Grandmaster B:
      we expecting to use blender 2.5 and gimp 2.7 on the next game. I wish it will be on PS3.

      malefico:
      Gracias, estamos re contentos. Y nos encantaria participar en el Che!Blender 2010, quizas con un post-morten del juego o con algo nuevo. Supongo que tambien vamos a estar en la EVA. Dimos una charla en la EVA09 respecto a la produccion y el uso de blender en la misma, asi que pronto espero poder postear el video.
