> I had a ton of fun making this, even though it's unfinished
Hey, games are hard. Xenolinguistics is hard. Getting anywhere at all on either one is impressive!
I hope you decide to return to this. I've felt for a while that game jams are great if they give creators a sense of urgency to make something, but they run the risk of encouraging people to dump what they have and forget about it. If you had fun making this, I hope you find the time to make it more complete!
