Amoxoaques: It's the details that matter
Writing is power.
In ancient times, written memories gave legitimacy to states, while the destruction of written texts would condemn some civilizations to oblivion.
The Olmecs were the earliest known major Mesoamerican civilization. The Epi-Olmec culture (a successor culture to the Olmec) featured a full-fledged writing system know as Epi-Olmec script.
Writing, especially in the earliest forms, was so important that we decided to show it in this concept art of the Amoxoaque Tlaltecui: on its surface, you can see glyphs from the Epi-Olmec writing.
We're also very proud to show you the renders of our Amoxoaque, where you can see all the details on their rough bark-like skin (you can also take a look at the related previous posts: #1, #2, #3)
Being able to include these mythical creatures, these great sages from cultures of pre-Hispanic Mexico, makes us truly happy, excited and proud.
We want to revive ancient tales and great legends from our past and from our ancestors, and we're doing it by thorough historical research and analysis, in order to bring you an amazing, original, culturally rich game: Mictlan!
If you're enjoying seeing how Mictlan is developing and you would like to see more of our game, please support us by registering on Kickstarter and follow Mictlan: An Ancient Mythical Tale!
