So...Zach shouted out the game I'm directing for Hispanic heritage month before I even announced it 😅

So here's the logo!

The game is Pelota, a sports title with foundations in Mesoamerican history and culture.

We're in the early stages of production, so stay tuned!

Cacao en el mundo Maya.🍫

Fue uno de los frutos mas importantes para las culturas mesoamericanas y aún es un ingrediente muy apreciado en nuestros días, pues es la base de la elaboración del chocolate. Era tan apreciado que sus semillas se llegaron a utilizar como moneda franca.

El jade para los mayas.

Como para el resto de pueblos mesoamericanos, el jade era un material altamente apreciado y, en virtud de las propiedades que se le atribuían, se le utilizaba para elaborar objetos propios de la nobleza o divinidades.

In both past and present Mesoamerican thought, the "souls" of individuals are believed to be divided in various entities that reside in different parts of our bodies.

Won’t reveal too much bc I’m in the works of making this into a comic but it essentially will deal themes of polar opposites coexisting, a common theme in Aztec mythology and have features of modern as well as precolumbian Latino/Mesoamerican/Nahua culture.

A tiny Mayan Prince finds himself in the middle of a conflict between Kings/Queens and the Gods. It's a massive, lonely world and EVERYTHING can kill this boy. No colonizers allowed tho. Mesoamerican myths represent!

Still can't get over the fact that FGO turned Quetzalcoatl, a literal mesoamerican deity, into an anime white woman for blatant horny straight appeal 💀

The first of a couple special package ideas for our Kickstarter project!

Small vertical postcards with info on each design. One of my main reasons for doing projects like this is education. And I hope these postcards can provide that!
