The Dream (Part 2)

Over the years, I learned that openly discussing your ideas sometimes results in the most unexpected outcomes. Yesterday's discussion gave us this:

"How about a dream sequence where Twinsen's ancestors visit him, and Sendell's there also - I mean, Twinsen does mention his prophetic dreams"

@Phreak 

I kind of love this idea that Twinsen's ancestors lead him through the story. There was also this idea:

"I imagined Sendell being his guide, floating like a glowing jellyfish in the darkness, flying above Twinsen, giving the light and showing him the way"

@Axolotl

Which is also interesting, but I believe Sendels should be mysterious. They are part of the belief system, and in some way, revealing them early in the game would strip them of this mystery. Adding the ghost ancestors, which show as ghostly figures in the color of Sendels, gives another advantage. New depth to the belief system: Those who believe in Sendels will not die but become part of the planet. What sounds like a cool addition to the world.

I also like the idea that you see ghostly figures moving around the empty halls of this ancient temple. I may even incorporate it as a visual progression of the story. When the story moves closer to the finale, and you visit the dream space, you start seeing more ghosts that move around the temple. 

I need to explore this idea more. Still, today we were supposed to explore in more detail the game's beginning, but this was a really long day. That is why I will leave it for tomorrow. Also, because of the same reason, I did not had time to draw anything related to the topic and will leave here this unrelated picture of solder that I did recently.
