Visible dwarven language
« on: April 12, 2009, 06:47:43 am »
I was looking at this thread and remembering a suggestion for separate tilesets for the display areas and the text areas. An it occurred to me that some there may be some capacity for things to be written in a dwarven language from a separate tileset. I can't really think of many appropriate uses in the current game other than names, but I could imagine things being decorated with dwarven runes and maybe dwarves having private conversations in dwarven...

Any thoughts?

Sounds like a bloat, but I'm all for having separate glyphs for writing. Proper runes (or whatever glyphs are provided) would certainly add atmosphere.

You won't have trouble supplying the Countess with cats, or producing the annual idols to be offerred to the castle. Every fortress is a pale reflection of Ghormenghast..
