In 2016, a client asks @multiverse.bsky.social to create a narrative for their game without using any language, words, or numbers. After first considering environmental storytelling, Gerben conducts an experiment: can we tell stories using only emojis? He makes a paper prototype #indiegame #language

A custom tool with which symbols were created
4 phrases made in the first digital versions of the Eloquence symbols
A graph of a test questionnaire that was used to test the symbols' effectiveness
The paper prototype validates the concept!
New symbols are made in a bespoke tool on a 24x24 pixels canvas, featuring syntax support.
About 50 symbols are created and tested via short stories in Google Forms.
Players consistently enjoy engaging with the symbols and language.

Aside from the language, the client project unfortunately never materialized beyond tech tests and concept art.
It was cancelled.
Fortunately, Gerben was allowed to extract the rights to the language concept. He uses it as the basis for a new project: Eloquence.
