About Project SOSThe StoryHei, Noodle Guy here! I am the Inventor and the brain behind Project SOS.Project SOS (Shape of Sounds) is an ambitious software startup dedicated to building the world's first Co-Op Language Learning Platform.I believe language is inherently human. When human connection is removed from the picture, language loses its purpose.My MissionI have dedicated 7 years to immersive research—observing and analyzing gaming communities and psychology. This gave me precise and detailed insights into what makes games engaging.Project SOS exists solely to apply these insights to education. We aim to make a breakthrough with up-to-date technology, making language learning fun and cooperative, rather than just quizzing users against a static system.My GoalMy current focus is transitioning Project SOS from a passion project into a Formalized Studio. We are currently raising capital through pre-sales to cover:
* Trademark Registration: To officially protect our Intellectual Property and brand identity.
* Business Incorporation: To legally establish the studio and complete the necessary paperwork for our demo launch.How You Can SupportWe operate on a Pre-order Model. We do not have outside investors yet, so we turn to our community of future users.* This is not a donation. By supporting us via Ko-fi, you are purchasing App Credits.
* What you get: Every contribution is tracked and converts into App Credits usable within Project SOS immediately upon our official release.ContactFor business inquiries or support regarding your pre-order:
