http://lingojam.com/Solhandahohra so I have made about 496 translation rules for that so far. But I was wondering if anyone wanted to help develop languages for a game? I can't offer money, or I would post in classifieds. and it's not really a resource request.


That particular language has no letters/alphabet, but word roots. so each higher level word (or combination) are based off the roots. not really suffix and prefix, but actual meaning of the stems i.e. 2-3 letter word combinations. there are a handful of possible combinations for roots.


Roots


the kinds of languages I want/need are for different races of peoples in my game(s). I have no real official history with languages, but I did study many languages at one point in my life. I even attempted to make a language with translations based off of gematria (the weighted value of a sound). so I really don't mind if you have no experience with linguistics or conlangs, The translator I'm using doesn't really have grammar rules, but with ordering one can sort of invent them with regex and js (but I really am not familiar with those languages).


I was hoping to work on many languages for use in games. Mostly because exploration games usually involve the player learning words for use in communications or information in game. (like NMS).


it would be really cool if someone wanted to help, or many people. we can talk on skype, email, or discord (I have my own dedicated server ^^)

Couple hours of work. Might use in my game as a secret find or something. Not sure. Fancy though no? :D
Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
Do you Find Tilesetting or Looking for Tilesets/Plugins more fun? Personally I like making my tileset for my Game (Cretaceous Park TM) xD
