Here is the current version of the gwakkian script: (modern, transitional)
And below is the older version, for comparison's sake:

It does look very runic doesn't it?
And yes it is a cipher at this point, but once he creates a conlang it won't be

sorry if you can't see the image, I've been having problems with photobucket.

Yes, it is a modern version of the alphabet that is based off of the runic version.

Yes, I'm working on the conlang now.

I think he does have a sample text in some conlang to the left. You have made the first steps to avoiding cipherhood, erasing the C and J and adding your own glyphs! Therefore I don't think it is a cipher for English (don't mistake me on this, there are many English ciphers in the world which don't use these superfluous letters , I however don't count this particular project as one) I think this is plainly a bare-bones script which could be used on a future conlang. Provided you give us an English text in the "script", it could function as a cipher as well.

Nice script, but I've said that already. 
Also, to clear up some confusion: "runic" is referring to runic Gwakken (another form of the script), not the actual Futhark.

Thanks. I was confused; I don't know how many others were.

Yes, you hit the nail on the head there. That's my plan, and i'm working on the conlang now.

Today I added one more character to the Gwakkian script, it is best shown on a computer as a tilde ~, but in the script it is written in straight lines with angles. It is equivalent to "W". Of course this problem was discovered when I found out that I couldn't write "Gwákén" using the script. Always a problem when you can't write your conlang's name in it's own conscript

I looked at the chart and I didn't see the symbol there.

Um, there seems to be a "W" already on the chart. It doesn't look much like a ~, so I'm guessing you just forgot about it...

No, sorry, this example here isn't up to date. When I revised the script to delete some unnecessary letters, I accidentally removed W.
