![]() ![]() Once I had the alphabet, I could easily translate the lettering in the world. I fell down the walkthrough slippery slope. I wanted an arsenal of tricks to ready myself for the puzzles I would encounter. I wanted, not solutions necessarily, but knowledge. I was engulfed with a desire to learn about the hidden world I had only scratched myself. I found a copy of the Fez alphabet, and that was it. The world was even deeper than I thought! I kept poking around, against my better judgement, and saw mention hidden messages and an entirely different language. Then, while browsing some gaming forum, I saw mention of water levels. Finally, in a sudden bout of what I can only call entitlement, I cheated.įirst I looked up how to get just one little cube, the one atop the lighthouse if I remember correctly. I turned off the game entirely and walked away, giving myself time to think and come at Fez with a new perspective (pun intended). I remember Jonathan Blow's attempt to dissuade the use of walkthroughs for Braid and I took his words to heart. I walk away from each play session part overjoyed at the game's creativity and partly deeply frustrated. I tried hard not to spoil Fez for myself and look up cheats. The perspective-flipping vertigo and riddling took me completely by surprise. While I have heard the buzz, I largely entered into Fez completely fresh. Years after the game was announced by Phil Fish, its creator, it finally sees the light of day on the Xbox Live Arcade. The lack of any ascender and descender in the Espaniranto script and it's awful readability supports the idea of it being mostly a religious script in opposition to daily use.The Fez train has finally pulled into the station and like so many others, I am on board. A more solid link to the eurasian plateaus mysticism had been provided in the only especimen of Espaniranto writing being a XXIII'rd century treatise/manual on mysticism, the so called Lagrangian-Point Dzogchen-Zen-Sufi codex, a specimen with plenty of common mystic terminology between Persiand and Tibetan plateaus mysticism, but fully wrote in Classical Zamenhof's Esperanto. It's "unicase" nature as in such scripts. Some other odd influences notorious in Espaniranto are: -It's peculiar punctuation that somehow resemble the Himalayan conventions of Tibeto-burmese or mongolian scripts like phagspa, uchen/umê, and newa scripts. Desertborn culture is highly regarded as possessing superior engineering and for their creative technological solutions in contrast to the common starborn ways. Yet is highly compatible with the common base-10 numeral system in the Empire. The numerals are binary coded glyphs and naturaly suitable to be used in base-12(ø being number 10 and Ø being 11). Espaniranto is highly regarded as the possible common Latin script ancestor. In accordance with Desertborn scholar Taquis Samiirah Sorciere from House Morloch, Desertborn culture has it's roots mostly out from earth-that-was Berber culture, so maybe the Desertborn scripts evolved through millennia from a common branch of pidgin alphabets of hybridized Latin, Tifinagh scripts, Berber Latin, and unknown space-farer scripts resembling the one at the "Singapore Stone". It covers most of the basic latin script(english), some extended glyphs to write Esperanto(ĉ, ĝ, ĥ, ĵ, ŝ, ŭ) and Spanish(ñ) but without accents and with basic limited extra glyph support besides the alphabet. ![]() Plus some extra symbols like the key codes.Įspaniranto is a transitional "lost link" conscript between Latin and the "future" Desertborn Language conscripts like "Wadi Emet" and "Seeq Antique" from the planet Araxes at the Mu Draconis System (A Second Life Sci-Fi RPG sim/server cluster ). Additions are indicated with numbers "overlapping" without a space (see here ) The letters are written vertically top right to bottom left ingame. Both variants:īig letters are directly from the wiki here: and are "uneven", with some not square elements. ![]()
