Deciphering the Nebula: language, history and narratology in Heaven’s Vault

  • サマリー

  • In this episode we discuss the brilliant Heaven's Vault; a narrative adventure videogame about decyphering a constructed language in order to learn the history of a fantastical world. Hosts Dr. Ibi and Dr. Joe cover topics including:


    • How the game works
    • Ideographic vs Alphabetic writing systems
    • Semantics and Morphology in language
    • Science fiction, media representation, and attempts at avoiding orientalism
    • Translation and archaeology as game mechanics


    To hear Jon Ingold of Inkle talk about Bladerunner and writing game dialogue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vRfNtvFVRo

    For an excellent GDC talk on the making of the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o02uJ-ktCuk


    Contains some strong (and other type types of) language.
