Hey everyone, some of you might remember LangGuesser, a little web game I made where you listen to a real audio clip and try to guess where the speaker is from based on the language, accent, or dialect. Kinda like GeoGuessr but for your ears. Big inspiration tbh.
I posted here about a year ago and a lot has changed since, so figured it was time for an update post.
What's new:
- The whole site got a redesign. Calmer colors, a friendlier mascot, and the homepage is now built around just getting you into a game in one click instead of making you click through menus.
- Added a "Today's Clip" thing on the homepage. New audio every day, no account needed, just press play and guess. Wanted something low effort for people who don't want to commit to a full game.
- Languages Atlas got expanded a lot. Every language now has a curated little tidbit, its native name, language family, script, and how many speakers it has. I spent hours in there honestly.
- Multiplayer got a bunch of fixes. Smarter matchmaking that takes into account how recently people were active, smoother handling when someone forfeits or drops out, and 1v1 results actually contribute to your overall stats now (they didn't before, which yeah was kinda annoying).
- Auto generated nicknames so you can jump into multiplayer as a guest without signing up. If you set a custom nickname it carries through to your opponent now.
- Top of the month leaderboard, so it's not just one frozen all time board where the same people sit forever. Resets monthly.
- Country flag on your profile if you want it, set it in settings.
Game modes for anyone new:
- Classic, you guess the exact country (Spanish from Spain vs Argentina kinda thing), 3 lives.
- Easy, you guess any country where the language is spoken, no eliminations.
- 1v1 multiplayer, real time against another player, faster answers get more points.
Still a solo hobby project so feedback actually shapes what I build next. If you find bugs, want a feature, or just want to flex a score, drop it in the comments.
Have a try!
