Interview:


✧ In one or two sentences, describe the main themes present in your game.


 How we acquire language.


✧ What was the inspiration of the game? What made your team decide to make this game specifically?


Designing a new language is fun, and designing an alien-structured language is even cooler & challenging. Also I wanted to push further and explore the potential of grammar itself as a game mechanic.


✧ What were some of your most memorable moments from making this game? What did you learn from those moments?


The moment my paper prototype proved the language system actually works.


✧ Talk about your teammates! What was everyone's role?


The designer chika, the programmer chika and the artist chika!  We get along most of the time.
