I've tried applying the rules to three players in different ways sometimes (mostly varying in how forced blocks are applied) but I'm yet to find a balance that keeps the game fun. From what I have experimented with though, you would definitely still need a minimum of four in a row.

@@grapsebad5338 fair enough

Hi Beq

@grapsebad5338 only in the insurance defense temples ohhhh

scratch.mit.edu/projects/789826773/ Closest thing that's been made so far was this scratch version my friend made, but this doesn't account for every rule and doesn't include an AI to play against or anything like that. If you can remember the rules and would like to play against someone else at the same computer I would recommend this. Most of the games I've played have either been in person or played over livestream using a vector editor.

also, 60 pieces seems like a really good amount for 4+ row games. Have you considered scaling down to 3 in a row but with fewer pieces? I'm just thinking about the ways to keep the game competetive without being drawn out. This gameplay reminds me a bit of Go, but with fewer rules. Large boards of go can lend themselves to long matches, and this feels like a game that I would like to get a few matches in within an hour or so

The first-point advantage only exists because the first player can often sneak in a point in the first ~15 moves of the game unless the second player is either aware of the opening or generally quite experienced at Lateris. Because this often happens but doesn't always happen among new-ish players, giving the second player the win in a draw (effectively giving them 0.5 points) is the closest thing to even I could think of (and also gets rid of the possibility of no one winning or losing which I find annoying). Giving the second player more pieces might even the odds in the same way, but does so by giving the first player an advantage at the start of the game, and the second player an advantage at the end. At worst, both parts of the game would feel unfair for someone.

@@aaronhauth8880 As for games with 3 in a row, I've tried this a couple times and going below 4 basically makes it inevitable that both players are going to spend 50% of the game answering each other's threats, it's extremely easy to score points and make new threats at the same time which chain out into several points and so on. It is as "fair" as the normal game, but takes so much agency and decision-making from both players that, in my opinion, the game ceases to be fun. The minimum length of a row is not something I think can be changed to just play a different kind of game. It is the inevitable option so long as this mode of placing pieces is used. And as for the length of the game, yeah 60-piece short games are very appealing when you start, and I'd highly recommend playing a lot of those. Longer games mostly occur because after a certain level of getting used to Lateris and the basic patterns of play, there ceases to be much novelty in 60-piece games, and instead new and tense situations tend to occur as you build out like 40+ pieces and onward and when new parts of the game start to crash back into older parts and create all sorts of weird opportunities, and that's only possible imo once you get to 180 pieces and onward. Probably the most interesting game I've ever played was 360, but you of course have to balance that with the time investment.

The pixel work and visuals were made using (classic) Microsoft paint, the audio was recorded on voice memos and edited in audacity, and the video was edited together in Adobe premiere.

Lowering ≠ approximant Yes it can be used on fricatives to turn them into approximants, but that’s not its canonical use It’s quite literally a lowered [w] where [o] would be

I drew the fonts myself in MS paint they aren't available anywhere

@@grapsebad5338You did a very good job with it. Have you ever thought about making your font available somewhere?

All the visuals are made in microsoft paint, I record the audio using voice memo on my phone and then import that into Audacity to edit together, before putting the audio and visuals together in premiere. In terms of making a conlang, I'd say start with giving it a goal, even a completely arbitrary one, and using that to start out the language, even if it doesn't completely follow that goal later on. For example, with Mapi I intended for it to be something which I could translate songs into, so I made it with relatively few vowels, no difficult consonants, and a grammar that means there's usually several ways to phrase something.

​@@grapsebad5338Thanks for the reply! I'll try and see what I can do with this and I'm sure trial and error will definitely be needed.

I made the fonts myself!

@@grapsebad5338 They're amazing, did you publish them somewhere ?

@@pyrenees2695 I haven't sorry. If you want you could probably copy out the small font from what's in the video. I also didn't make this as a proper functioning font I just drew out the letters in MS paint and put them together into words as needed

@@grapsebad5338 Thanks for replying, I can't wait to see more from you

Probably not in the near future. Right now I have started studying linguistics at university, and am spending most of my free time on projects aside from language and this account. I have the beginnings of a third conlang and an incomplete video about coins and money in the world that might come out in the future, but I also haven't touched either in some time.

Your days are numbered auxxer

You round the lips while making it

@@grapsebad5338 the best I could do was pʬ and bʬ, with p and b you close your lips to make the sound, the other best thing I managed to do was to round the vowel after

I didn't directly take influence from Indian linguistic history or the Dravidian family. The growth and then eventual decline of the language family is mostly based on languages spread via agriculture in the real world (i.e., the Sinitic & Niger-Congo expansions), but on a much smaller scale. The Rath Kjumo speakers originate from heavily mountainous regions and their invasion was caused by the same problems that led to the Piltelic collapse in the peninsula, in a way influenced by the Sea Peoples' invasion during the Bronze Age Collapse.
