Alright dudes, after this afternoon's meeting I did some searching on the internet. This is one of the first posts I'll do concerning this subject. I'll just try to post as many links as I can:
http://www.ancienthuna.com/symbols_pics.htm : This site might have some very interesting symbols we can use throughout the ride.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%27Elepaio : A very interesting little creature. A flycatching bird (Scene 1???) that's said to help the canoe builders pick trees (Scene 2???) they use for building that canoe.
http://polynesiandesign.net/symbols.html : Polynesian symbolism
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hi%27iaka : A hawaiian goddess who amongst other things caught souls
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pele_(Goddess) : A hawaiian goddess of fire, lava and volcanoes... Scene three anyone?
Aside from these links I found out there's hardly any religious art or symbolism, or even a visual language distinctive for the Polynesian culture... Maybe we can fix that up ourselves... I'll have to speak with Tom... Also, we could start working on a next script.... See you guys soon.

Hey Bram,
BeantwoordenVerwijderenNice research on the Tiki! I'm working on a new version of the ride myself now.
I'm currently busy with how and when we are going to "tell" our player what he needs to do, so this makes it allot more visual and gives me inspiration. I will however try to leave some space for you to redesign it, but the large part will be done tonight.
Dude, no insult taken but this makes me feel like I did that work for jack shit. We agreed yesterday afternoon that Tom and I would re-work and re-design the scenery and with that the flow of the ride. We set the deadline for that for today, this afternoon... And then you redesign stuff and will 'try to leave some space' eventhough the majority is already done?
