Hey there all,
My name's Matthew White, and I'm a Ph.D. Student at Memorial University of Newfoundland.
Currently working on an open/sandbox RPG for the teaching of English as a Foreign language as part of my Ph.D. dissertation.
The game is currently called Wayfarer, although this is only a development title, and I'm quite sure that the name will change.
It is being coded in torque/XNA for portability to the X360, and is being designed to be used in a large-scale test of its efficiency in assisting speakers of foreign languages to learn English.
Anyone with a passion for education or games, or who has some free time, should check out Wayfarer at http://www.matthewwhite.ca
I have a decent amount of work done already, but any talented 2D artists, 3D artists, coders, cinema/film designers, or translators (currently need fluent Japanese, English) are more than welcome to hop on over!
Any help/support is greatly appreciated, and full credit will be given in the final work, which will receive considerable attention.
Thanks very much,
Matthew M. White, M.Ed. 
)) and might be interested in helping (since she's teaching latinamerican immigrant kids japanese she's quite some experience with that kind of stuff)
