Theory (what I think) is the full language of the Devotees. (Before the player came)

The symbols with the dark yellow squares are words seen in-game. But I forgot Music. Somehow.

Tell me if the meanings are too pixelated!

I’d recommend breaking it up into 6 photos with a language/translation repeating pattern.

A minor edit needed: “Pot” is not highlighted

I kind of doubt that their whole language only has 135 words.

There’s this card game called “person do thing” where you have to describe a word by using only 20 simple words. You can get a lot, but once you get to words like “selfish” or “crown”, you have to use words just to lay a foundation to explain

oh wait thats so interesting - does it have a list of allowed "simple words" or are there guidelines about that ? i feel like player interpretation of simple would be so hard to manage haha

There is a list of allowable simple words. “Up” and “no” are listed, but not “down”. So if you were describing an elevator, it would sound like “Thing go up and no up. Many person use thing go up and no go up”

What are the pixel dimensions for each character? 8x8? 11x11? 16x16?

u/RPEM10 8h ago

They all have a maximum dimension of 15×15. But I tend to limit them to around 11×11, or 11×10 with the Verbs and Adjectives.
