This is a game called chants of the sennaar and in order to progress in this game you must start to understand the writing system through context and the puzzles presented. I think this works super well and was much easier than I expected.

I kinda like the way this looks as it makes the script predictable but I still feel like it could really be improved

These two are pretty bad in my opinion as I can't really tell where the dots are meant to be and it looks very overcomplicated.

This is the original font and I believe it can be easily written (unfortunately my artistic skill is pretty low).

I'll start with the ones I'm considering: -Clausal distinction by colour of the word -Boustrophedon (alternating direction of writing) -intent indicators

Every once in a while I sometimes think about remaking the English writing system, as is normal I'm sure😅, and I wonder what would be the most useful revision of punctuation or phonetic.

First panel of a few but I'm not sure if ill finish the whole comic. Translated myself so it's probably bad toaq 😅 but the fun is the journey.

Been playing through baldurs gate 3 recently as I'm sure many of you have been and started to think that githyanki are really similar to the mind flayers. Both see themselves as somewhat independent but have a greater queen they serve, have a fairly utilitarian society to say the least, possess psionic abilities that are very similar to each other and long to make an inter planary empire. Now many of these similarities can be a poetic story of how they never grew or learnt from the oppression they faced, but I think that this theory adds something great to the story as they both have a mysterious origin that is somewhat explained by this, and adds a reason to why the aboleths who know all the past don't know anything about mind flayers.

Recently cult of the dead cow came out with veilid, a secure decentralised way of sending encrypted information and i think this could be a huge asset to lemmy. Cult of the dead cow even mentions mastadon by name as they say this is the type of application it was designed for. If veilidchat takes off then i really hope the devs will consider it.

I recently commissioned a friend to make a logo for a community I made about writing systems as an art form https://lemmy.world/c/neography and I'm super happy with his work! The title is the middle is great as a logo and the cycles of the moon show time passing along with new ways of writing being discovered. I have no idea how y'all are able to do stuff like this but stay inspired and take care of yourselves!

I finally got this script to a state that I'm happy with and i think it works alright for the language. The way it works is that since every elemental word can be either CVC or CVV or CV every symbol is one consonant + the flipped form of the coda consonant on the bottom with up to three vowel marks. I hope you guys check out the nao language and keep on being kool as heck!
