writing systems

changes implemented with the above rationale in mind, plus a small lore drop for those willing to decipher it. i also reveal a way to compress the text horizontally here, enabled by it being on paper free from the display technology it was designed for

it turns out vrchat is a great place to practice this kind of thing (i really should develop some kind of direction-agnostic 3D writing system for it). also, i figured out how to nest characters (i figure in-canon this will be related to the fact that the written form of this is learned from the electronic form, but is used because it's an efficient writing system, which is actually true; i can write in it very fast now)
i don't think it's creator bias to say that aeroscript (tentative title; hexscript might be a better name) is easy to learn, but i might need some feedback for what additional glyphs might be necessary. i tried to write "vrchat" with it using the glyph for SH as a CH and realized why that's a bad idea very quickly

i really need to get myself a compass or make myself an arc-pen one of these days. it'd make scripts with lots of circles so much more writable
