Death Random Group: Members Posts: 2 Joined: April 2011 Posted: April 06 2011, 03:55 I've played Tr3s Lunas for a while, and I've always thought about a sort of psichoanalitic view of the game. For example, the mantis-on-a-table, a mantis is a symbol of "preying" on others, and the table means social relations. Maybe it could be related to what happens in the canyon, i.e., good ring, bad ring? Anyway, I think it would be possible, maybe we can find something new... Back to top

This thread could either become intensely intellectual or wildly comic. I'll sit on the sidelines until I find out which!   Back to top

Well, Dalí is a surrealist painter. Most things that appear in his paintings, from ants, to Saints, to burning giraffes, to daliphants, to melting clocks have a Freudian basis. Hope it doesn't die, anyway   Back to top

Freud Dude would of had a field day with that Snippers an Cutters Oh My Oh yes, the prickly cactus in the latest vid.     And you're not allowed to stay in the Indian village too long - in case of rocking wigwams after dark?? Looks as though we're going down the wildly comic path...   Back to top

ex member 892 Group: Members Posts: 827 Joined: July 2008 Posted: April 08 2011, 07:30 Wow, all of the Dali pictures I've seen in art books haven't been nearly as nice as that. Back to top

Milamber Group: Musicians Posts: 2276 Joined: Feb. 2010 Posted: April 08 2011, 07:37 Looking at that picture gave me the thought,it's a wonder Mike doesn't re do Tres Lunas with today's technology. It could be amazing...I guess that's were Matt wanted to go with his music vr project..pity. Back to top

ex member 892 Group: Members Posts: 827 Joined: July 2008 Posted: April 08 2011, 07:49 It could still happen... I'm very interested in programming and am learning about it (takes a while), and obviously a lot of people can do music, there are a few people who can do graphic design... and actually, with a pre-made game engine, the programming side is reduced dramatically, pretty much to some scripts here and there... I don't see any reason why it couldn't happen... Back to top

I don't see any reason why it couldn't happen... What's the bet, though, that everyone would prefer the original game?    It happened with TB 2003 (although I actually prefer TB 2003, with the exception of Cleese's contribution). Back to top

ex member 892 Group: Members Posts: 827 Joined: July 2008 Posted: April 08 2011, 08:07 Well, we could port it to Mac, Linux, Amiga, various mobile platforms and even video game consoles (homebrew development). That would insure its popularity. That's the problem with Tr3s Lunas, it's not platform diverse enough - I have a Mac (that's too old to run an emulator with any speed), and so I can't play it. EDIT: If we want to talk about this any more, we should probably take it to Matt's thread. Don't want to ruin this one. Back to top
