About Luminoth
This language is based off of the Luminoth species from the Metroid video game series. I’m also doing Zebesian (OLD) if you’re interested. :)

Additional NotesLuminoth is typically a three-dimensional language when written, and the shape of the sentences can actually carry the tone of a sentence. Here, a 2D method of projection is used to convey the characters, with unique stops in place to handle tone that is lost in this projection. 2D Luminoth is traditionally written boustrophedonically, but this can’t be done in CWS as far as I’m aware, so for our purposes here, it is LTR.
