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.
