Skylight Games founder Dan Roy stresses the importance of language learning skills. He notes the challenges inherent in immigration and business and makes special mention of the cultural value of linguistic fluency.
“Business is becoming increasingly global and knowing another language can unlock new opportunities,” Roy says. “Studying another language and culture is one of the best ways to break down prejudice and build appreciation in its place.”

Based on this conviction, Roy designedย Lyrikoย for a diverse audience and reception has been very positive.ย Prior to its mobile releaseย the game hasย earned several awards including the title of Regional Winner of the 2015 Apps for Class Challenge, Best Serious Game (Beta/Near Release) at Mass DiGI’s Game Challenge 2015, and Best Learning Game – Super Smarts award at the 2014 Boston Festival of Indie Games.
