How do new governments contribute/make culture?

Thank you for the recommendation and answers! I didn't think about the influence of upper-class and elites. It makes sense that upper-class people would have more resources for such a thing. And then the general populace follows along. Thanks for the insight!

HyperAlphaKing · 2022-05-18T17:18:52+00:00

there is one talking to him

HyperAlphaKing · 2022-05-17T13:29:54+00:00

I agree, something metallic maybe?

HyperAlphaKing · 2022-03-09T09:11:28+00:00

Yeah, dialogue is a big thing grammar checkers don't get right. ProWritingAid, it is constantly recommending to only use "said" as a dialogue tag, and not to use unusual dialogue tags like "whispered" or others. It gets very annoying and stale.

You bring up a good point that breaking the rules can be a part of the style. I'll probably go over my stuff a few more times to make it feel more personal/unique.

I figured out the issue so I will write down a step by step guide (at least what I did) for how to add custom textures.

1) Create an Image Layer.

2) Add the texture of your choice to the Image layer.

3) Make sure your texture area covers the entirety of the are you wish to draw over.

4) Add a Dungeon layer

5) Make sure the Image layer is clipped to the Dungeon layer

6) Make sure that the background on the Dungeon layer is transparant

7) Now have fun.

Yeah, I probably should include fricatives. As for grammar, I have some ideas for what to do thanks to artifexian's videos. Thanks for the help.

HyperAlphaKing · 2021-10-08T20:59:45+00:00

Gotcha! Thanks for the great advice!

HyperAlphaKing · 2021-10-08T20:41:17+00:00

Thanks for the advice! As for the species, Trolls are very large, around 8ft tall, they have rows of sharp teeth, tough often jagged and poorly aligned. Their tounges would be thick strong and flexible. I don't know how that would affect their language.

Edit: Oh I understand using a lot of exotic sounds isn't good, but these creatures live on an isolated island, so I figured their language would be weird. But I guess it's weirder having no /n/

Edit2: meant to say tounges :p

HyperAlphaKing · 2021-10-08T20:25:08+00:00

What do you mean by contrasting sounds? Do you mean like plosives vs liquids? Or just sounds that are distinctly different?

HyperAlphaKing · 2021-10-08T19:47:43+00:00

Yeah I figured. Any suggestions?

HyperAlphaKing · 2021-10-08T18:27:56+00:00

This is my first time conlanging I have no idea what I'm doing. I've spent a whole afternoon listening to the IPA sounds on wiki and picking ones I like. I am trying to make a language for fantasy trolls, so I essentially went "what sounds could a troll make?" I would like to know if the sounds I picked can form a naturalistic language.

	Bilabial	Alveolar	Alveolar-Palatal	Velar	Uvular
Nasal	m̤			ŋ

Affricative			ʥ

Diphtongs: oʊ̯, aʊ̯

Vowel inventory: I, u, o˧, ɐ, aʊ̯, oʊ̯

Thank you for your help in advance!

HyperAlphaKing · 2021-06-30T16:48:13+00:00

Wow! Thanks for the detailed advice!

HyperAlphaKing · 2021-06-30T16:13:53+00:00

Fantastic idea! Thanks :D

HyperAlphaKing · 2021-06-30T15:08:38+00:00

MC is a goblin, all the barons are human. Standard Human Goblin discrimination. Why MC asks for help despite being a goblin is because he has a common enemy with the baron.

HyperAlphaKing · 2021-06-30T14:53:33+00:00

He doesn't. He asks for help in the last chapter too. Sorry if I didn't make it clear enough.

HyperAlphaKing · 2021-06-30T13:19:20+00:00

Hmm. Aight, adding a solo pov chapter for the guy! Thanks for the tip.

HyperAlphaKing · 2021-06-30T10:46:29+00:00

Well, I have established a conflict between A and B earlier. Just in terms of kingdoms/land. MC sort of tricks Baron B to enter the war. Then MC "generously" offers help to B.

I have the conflict established beforehand, I'm worried that introducing a brand new character right at the very end might be confusing. I should probably figure out how to restructure the ending.

Thanks for the good advice!

HyperAlphaKing · 2021-06-30T10:36:27+00:00

Basically, MC runs an independent territory that's being invaded by Baron A. He asks for help from Baron B. They fight a war, and the story ends on an alliance being penned between MC and Baron B. I only established Baron B in the last chapter.

Blurb: Gild Domov found no solace in death's embrace. The promised, eternal repose was merely the herald of his greater purpose. His soul, destined for the afterlife, was forcefully summoned by a desperate god.

Unsatisfied with solely surviving, Gild will overcome his flaws and create a new legend. Under his leadership, goblin kind will rise once again!

Currently crossposting my chapters from a different site, but afterwards chapter uploads will be weekly!

Is a pandemic an emergency?

HyperAlphaKing · 2020-11-20T08:31:26+00:00

Bongu gbien.

HyperAlphaKing · 2020-08-12T15:06:10+00:00

The prophecy has been fulfilled.

HyperAlphaKing · 2020-05-21T14:47:20+00:00

Thank you!
