This is INSANELY COOL omg!!!! Can't wait to try it someday because I LOVE the evolution of written language and its changes!!!! Found this thanks to a collection one of my own games has been added to (Pictographer, another game about written language creation) and I'm soooo glad I found it!!! Great idea and AMAZING execution!!!
Oh wow!! I think I had a similar experience finding Pictographer (which is just incredible--I love the focus on non-segmental writing, something I hoped to do that ended up getting sidelined, as well as the way word derivation works. and the interpretation phase is fantastic!!). Anyway thank you so much for your kind words--this is high praise!--and I'd love to see what you end up with if you try it eventually!
It's wonderful to see more games playing with writing systems!
This is both really cool and possibly slightly outside my grasp, but I would love to try playing it some time :D That said, the play example helps immensely with understanding how it works.
I some incompletely-formed thoughts about the extremely different complexities of digital representations that might be fun to hack into this. Maybe I’d better do some more research and write a Unicode supplement lol

Hello! I'd like to include this in a printed compendium of work. Are you able to send me an email? ash@long-tail.games

Super interested in seeing where this goes!
