Asripandi The name is rather blatantly IE-based, I know.:D
Here's the first paragraph of a text in the script (the punctuation's a bit wonky between them, but that's rather how it is):
Ruca ši norja; lišrislim äŋkladyr unprolja i ajrsoj unrislja.
Ruca ši norja; na odrislax melvir sränki undropja.
Ruca ši norja; na rydar melvir kweti i quldi na fejšoboj vikja.
Na potgyloj melvim unsrigja.
Srilišar i fejšlišar lej ši prajkja;
Remmiranar noþnostajš lej ši prajkja;
Noþfejšobar kim na solmertinsat þoršela unvurja kar lej ši prajkja.
Na tinsat ko milanat lim unkwetja ko xjaro ki eþta glaþkladyr dropja ko lej ši prajkja...
It's sort of hard to figure out, so here's how it works:
I made it so each consonant has a stem, which, when extended, makes it so an <a> follows it. If you bend the line at the top so that it loops around over the letter, it has an <o> following it. If you bend it so it loops away from the letter, it's an <e>.
Now, as you can see, I have nine vowels in the language (two of which are only used in foreign words: <ë> and <ö>). Three wouldn't suffice. Here's where the dots come in.
The dots have regular and irregular positions, depending on where the line on the consonant is. If the line is below or non-existent, the regularly positioned dot is on the top. If the line is above, it's on the bottom.
The regularly positioned dots make <ä>, <u> and <i> respectively.
The irregularly positioned dots - dots that line up with the lines and go under the letter when there is no line - make <ë> <ö> and <y>..
The dots next to the letters are the spaces between words, as I'm sure is obvious. I could write some stuff up about the punctuation, if you'd like.

Just off the top of my head...
I like the script, its pretty. The transcription looks good too, though I don't know how to pronounce some of the letters (g-carat, n-carat), and I'd love to talk it through to see how it sounds.

Love to see the X-SAMPA for it. Script looks awesome, reminiscent of Indian scripts (look, not format).

Yes, x-sampa would be nice.

E.I.: I endorse (or "co-sign") the last three responses.
This is too intriguing, too much of your work, and too good, to leave alone for another four months! I look forward to reading more.

g-carat is the voiced version of /c/ since the site aint showing the X-Sampa for it for some reason
n-carat looks like /J/ since those 3 are the palatal series from what it looks like
so he has 8 stops, and I doubt <q> would be a stop, since it's part of the fric list
