« It’s not the war that scares me the most, it’s to dream about it… »

    If it’s commonly accepted that into Oa’ma, the transcendent dream world, lives dreams and hopes; On the other hand, you most likely never heard of his consort Hya’ma: The dark and sordid land of chaos, plagued by nightmares. The people of Oa usually occult this part of their reality, bloodcurdling by remembering that where the light shines, the darkness always roams.  

   We found a very few stories relating the state of those dry lands. Just a rare apocryphal’s volumes paint a portrait of the hierarchy that maintains this order, without even mentioning the scaring people that lives in: the Hya’nagis. Who are they? From which evil roots are they coming from? And moreover, who’s ruling them?    The Hya’nagis aren’t depict has an aggressive and messy masses, rather than, they are closer to an obedient army, ruled by a prince whose name is only mentioned in the ancient tale of the Dream Keeper, Pankapu. This name, timidly written by a trembling ink, echoes in every mind, such as a synonym of decay and corruption: “Gangreyn: the Dreameater, prince of the Nightmares”

  As every storyteller says, there is no drama that can get over its antagonist and there is no dream without it’s terrifying twin. Born from the darkest corners of Time, Gangreyn is the grandiloquent aesthete who’s the cutting eloquence put the stress on the unfairness of the quest of our little knight.   Spectacular dark flamboyance, sworn nemesis of Iketomi, the Prince of nightmares constantly interposes in the fable of Pankapu, burying him under his thin and crushing shadow, making a malicious pleasure to remind our small spectator that there are no lights without shadows, virtues without vices, victories without defeats.

   He is the mad producer that set the scene of a wild play. Going for anything to satisfy the Mother of Destiny, to whom he calls himself “son” and from whom every step of this quest becomes a tyrannical trial. Gangreyn will not rest, corrupting every part of Omnia to place his raven props. No protagonists escape from this gloomy act, and even if he claims his invasion with a theatrical ease, his own motivation stays hidden in the backstage of his performance, waiting for the curtain to go up.

    As we know for now, a few tales mention “The Dark Master”, in this way, it’s nearly impossible to paint with exactitude the portrait of this lord of nightmares.    There is still an ancient scroll, supposedly the original tale of Pankapu, which describe the aesthetic form of this singular character throw freezing icons. We can read in it, the story of an ebony slender shape, long clawed arms with a mane of fire, ruling the dark army and tearing apart the Veil, to invade the land of Dreams.                                                            

   Sometimes humanoid, perverse and laughing, sometimes chiroptera, sadistic and vicious, all the painting discovered until then, confirm the raptorial nature of this entity.            Covered himself with a large and ludicrous smile, the picture depicts in this book remind to every naturalist, that far from being just a perverse shade, Gangreyn remains a beast, eating his fill only with Omnia substance.    It’s from this constant that his gloomy name come from: “The Dreameater” however we can find this evocation in most recent books with the understated name of “The Reaver”.Still, a lot of questions remain about the appearance of the prince.

  The flames, crowning his body, are display at the bottom of his human form. However, the debate is escalating when they must determinate if this dark being was literally born from flames or, on the opposite, if this burning symbolize the close link that Gangreyn maintains with the mythological hatred, usually portrayed as a mystical fire that eats away and rots…However, no answer can be clarified until the confrontation of the theoretical data against the real observation of this creature, supposing that crossing his flames is not as irresponsible as fatal.

       « Ce n’est pas de la guerre dont j’ai peur, c’est d’en rêver… »  

    S’Il est communément admis qu’Oa’ma, monde onirique transcendant, abrite rêves et espoirs, Il est en revanche moins commun d’entendre parler de sa parèdre Hya’ma, noire et sordide terre de chaos infestée de cauchemars. Le peuple d’Oa a en effet en horreur l’expression de cette part de leur réalité, les effrayant au sang et qui leur rappelle dans un murmure glacial que là où la lumière brille, l’ombre guette.

   On trouve ainsi très peu de textes relatant l’état de ces landes desséchées. Seule une poignée de Textes apocryphes dépeignent la hiérarchie qui y règne et s’attardent sur son peuple terrifiant, les Hya’Nagis. Que sont-ils ? Comment naissent-ils ? Mais plus important : Qui les dirige ?    Les Hya’nagis ne sont en effet nullement traduit comme une masse agressive désordonnées mais presque toujours comme une « armée » obéissante à un prince dont on ne peut lire le nom qu’au travers de l’ancien conte du gardien des rêves. Ce nom, écrit timidement d’une encre tremblante, se susurre dans chaque esprit comme synonyme de décrépitude et de corruption : Gangreyn, le Prince des cauchemars, Dévoreur de rêves…

    Tout grand conteur vous le dira, il n’est aucune dramaturgie qui ne puisse se passer de son antagoniste, de même qu’il n’est aucun rêve sans son horrifique jumeau.     Ainsi, né des plus sombres recoins de l’Histoire, Gangreyn est l’esthète grandiloquent dont la verve acerbe met en lumière toute l’iniquité de la quête du chevalier des rêves. Fabuleuse flamboyance noire, ennemie jurée d’Iketomi, le Prince des cauchemars s’interpose sans cesse dans la fable de Pankapu, l’enterrant sous son ombre fine et écrasante et se faisant le malin plaisir de rappeler à notre petit spectateur qu’il ne peut y avoir de lumière sans ombre, de vertu sans vice, de victoire sans défaite.

Il est le metteur en scène fou, celui qui place le décors d’une scène endiablée, ne reculant devant  rien pour satisfaire la Mère du destin dont il se proclame le « Fils » et par qui chaque étape du voyage devient une épreuve tyrannique. Gangreyn n’aura de cesse d’intervenir, corrompant chaque parcelle d’Omnia pour mieux y disposer ces accessoires de jais. Aucun protagonistes n’échappent à sa pièce obscure et même s’il proclame son but d’invasion avec une aisance théâtrale, ses motivations profondes restent dissimulées dans les coulisses de sa représentation, attendant le moment propice pour la levée de rideau.

     Comme nous le savons désormais, peu d’ouvrages font référence au maître noir et il est donc presque impossible de savoir avec exactitude quel visage porte le seigneur des cauchemars.      Il subsiste cependant un tome ancien, prétendument texte originel du conte de Pankapu qui aborde la dimension esthétique de ce personnage singulier au travers de pictogrammes glaçant. On peut y apercevoir une grande silhouette nonchalante d’ébène, aux longs bras griffus et à la crinière de flamme commander une armée noire et déchirer le grand Voile en vue d’une invasion du territoire des rêves.      Tantôt humanoïde, rieuse et perverse, tantôt chiroptère, sadique et brutale, toutes les peintures trouvées jusqu’alors semblent confirmer la nature carnassière de l’entité.      Bardée d’un large sourire grotesque, l’image rappelle aux naturalistes aguerris que loin de n’être qu’une ombre perverse, Gangreyn reste et demeure une bête qui ne trouve satiété que lorsqu’il dévore la substance d’Omnia. C’est de cette constante picturale que lui vient le surnom lugubre de « Dévoreur des rêves » et il arrive que l’on retrouve cette évocation dans des textes récent sous la forme plus sobre de « Dévoreur ».    

  Beaucoup de questions Onirologiques restent en suspens sur l’aspect du Prince. Les flammes couronnant notamment son corps sont présentes à sa base de ce dernier sous sa forme humanoïde et le débat s’envenime lorsqu’il s’agit de déterminer si cet être est né des flammes de façon littérale ou si au contraire ce même embrasement symbolise le rapport étroit qu’entretien Gangreyn avec la haine mythologique, souvent dessinée par un feu mystique qui ronge et noircit…

  Cependant, aucune réponse ne pourra être apportée tant que les théories ne seront pas confrontées à l’observation même de la créature, si tant est que de croiser ces flammes ne soit pas aussi irresponsable que létal…

   Like JJ and GG, Iketomi is the creator of Pankapu. Imposing, real symbolic figure for our warrior, what character is hiding behind this name? Let’s paint a quick portrait of the one at the root of our adventure!   

What is a Hymn? 

   Many experts have been looking into the situation. In order to understand their origins and the point of their existence, you have to study deeply the cosmology of Oä and Omnia’s worlds, and concepts of creation and destruction that rule the Universe of Pankapu. It’s generally accepted that the Hymns are almighty entities, considered as Gods, expanding their grip on Omnia.

Iketomi in his “natural” form, first research

   While he can wear many forms, Iketomi is more often represented by an eight-armed slim man. Always in a good mood, he’s a mischievous Hymn, unpredictable, but he doesn’t lack humor.He’s the builder of the Web dominating the Sea of Stars on top of Oä'ma, the Veil catching the dreams and crystallizing them to bring them to life. Those dreams, gone concrete in the spiritual world then come feed the Humans’ inspirations in the material world.

Father and Mentor

   To help him in his fight against the invasions of the Hya'Nagis on the dreams territory, Iketomi creates a formidable ally: Pankapu, woven from the humans’ dreams, and his sidekick Chii. There is no doubt that you’ll meet hiss again throughout our hero’s adventure, always ready to give him some precious advice. But will Pankapu be able to follow them?

Now that you have more information about the Hymns and moreover Iketomi, you will have to find the rest of the story in Pankapu episode 2:

See you soon in the world of Dreams !!!!

______________________________________________________________

Tout comme JJ et GG, Iketomi est le créateur de Pankapu. Imposant, véritable figure emblématique pour notre guerrier, quel personnage se cache derrière ce nom ? Brossons un rapide portrait de celui qui est à l’origine de notre aventure !

Qu’est-ce qu’un Hymn ?

De nombreux experts se sont penchés sur la question. Comprendre leur origine et le but même de leur existence nécessite l’étude approfondie de la cosmologie des mondes d’Oä et d’Omnia, et des concepts de création et destruction qui régissent l’Univers de Pankapu. Mais il est encore trop tôt pour aborder ces notions, petits curieux ! Il est communément admis que les Hymns sont des entités toutes puissantes, considérées comme des dieux, qui étendent leur domaine sur Omnia.

Iketomi sous sa forme « naturelle », premières recherches:

S’il peut revêtir différentes formes, Iketomi est plus souvent représenté par un homme svelte à huit bras. Toujours de bonne humeur, il s’agit d’un Hymn facétieux, imprévisible, mais qui ne manque pas d’humour. Il est le bâtisseur de la Toile qui trône au-dessus de la Mer d’étoile au sommet d’Oä’ma, Toile qui capte les rêves et les cristallise pour leur donner vie. Ces rêves devenus concrets dans le monde spirituel viennent ensuite alimenter l’inspiration des Humains dans le monde matériel.

Père et Mentor:

Pour l’aider dans sa lutte contre les intrusions des Hya’Nagis sur le territoire des rêves, Iketomi crée un allié redoutable : Pankapu, tissé à partir des rêves des humains, et son compagnon Chii. Nul doute que vous le recroiserez tout au long de l’aventure de notre héros, toujours prêt à lui prodiguer de précieux conseils. Mais Pankapu saura-t-il les suivre ?

Maintenant que vous en savez plus sur les Hymns et tout particulièrement Iketomi, il ne vous reste plus qu’à trouver la conclusion de cette histoire dans le prochain épisode de Pankapu:

Hi everyone, welcome aboard this new Omnia Express!!

We want to start with a little focus on the release of Pankapu. Indeed, we recently received a lot of messages asking if the second episode is already out and/or why you can't find it on Steam.

See you soon in the world of Dream. And we love you!!

First graphic research

 Monsters inhabiting the forest of Peppu

At the border of Omnia you can find Peppu, the forest-tree, rising like a border with the material world. Majestuous and full of life, it's the last stage for the souls that are about to incarnate.

It's at the heart of this verdant forest that our hero's adventure begins. Overcoming his first enemies, you'll discover with him a lush vegetation, the firefly pond, but also what's hiding under the tree's roots... No doubt Peppu contains many secrets within it that it's up to you to discover!

Let me introduce you a new character from the Land of Dreams: Ohiti. Pankapu’s first mission is to find Ohiti and help him.

Ohiti is a resident of Peppu, one of the first places Pankapu visits during his journey. However, when Pankapu meets him, Ohiti is very sad and can’t stop crying. His house was destroyed by the Hya’Nagis, and all his Mudjin friends have fled from here. So, now, Ohiti is all alone.

However, Pankapu will try to give him some hope by showing him a Mudjin he’s saved before. Ohiti will then help Pankapu in his quest and find that there is always hope, even in the darkest times!

Omnia, the spiritual world

Omnia is a world in which the spirits come and go, and where the physics laws as we know them don't apply. It's thus not surprising to come across a tree as big as a continent, flying islands, or a sea of stars. Realm of the Hymns, almighty and transcendent entities, considered by many like Gods, Omnia is also the cradle of dreams and nightmares. Real dream island, it's constantly moving and everything seems to be possible in it.

This spiritual world is made of two distinct territories, Oä'Ma and Hya'Ma, delimited by a border supposed to be impassable, the Boreal Veil. Those two regions are as different as complementary and respectively house dreams and nightmares. Those are caught, crystalized, then sent back in their reception area by Iketomi's Web, which is a structure running on the entire Veil.

Oä'Ma, territory of dreams

Dream vision of Oä'Ma- Work in Progress

Oä'Ma is the region in which dreams take shape and come alive. Ruled by Iketomi, their referent Hymn, it's a haven of peace, quietness, and abundance. Safe place, the spirits can live freely, soaking in positive experiences, making them richer.

Close to the material world, there is Peppu, the forest-tree, full of life and last link for the incarnation. Just above its peak, you can see the shingle prairie floating, territory made of flying islands where wind gusts roam, and then dive into the hollow of rocks, and make the Kardigans, long red drapery hanging to the rocks, flap. Even higher, just before touching Iketomi's Veil, there is the Sea of Stars, which is the place where most dreams fall. Pile of stars and artifacts, with diverse attributes, it's the region with the highest magic potential. At its heart, there is Itopia, only junction between Oä'Ma and Hya'Ma, crossing the Veil and supporting it.

While the Hya'Nagis are not supposed to be able to cross it, it sometimes happens that some of their attemps are successful. To prevent those invasions, Iketomi creates Pankapu, but in his task, the little keeper will have to break the divine law, cross Itopia, and go in the heart of Hya'Ma. He will discover there a totally unknown territory, but you’ll know more in Pankapu! ;)

At the start of the game, we don’t know much about Djaha’Rell, as his story will be unveiled in the game through the Memoliths.

However, here’s what we know. Djaha’Rell is a young boy who can’t sleep at night, because he has lived tragic events.

However, his father will tell him the story of Pankapu, and the tale should help him overcome his trauma. In order to do this, the player and Djaha’Rell will reconstitute the puzzle of his past and understand the origin of all his torments.

Note: Djaha’Rell sleeps with a Pankapu plush and holds it in his arms during the story.

As you know, the hero of our story is the little Pankapu, that we presented to you not long ago. But what would a true hero be without a sidekick ready to follow him in all his adventures and face danger at his side? Such as Don Quichhote and the loyal Sancho, Jak and Daxter, or Batman and his inseparable Robin, the dreamkeeper couldn't stay alone in his fight facing the Hya'Nagis. Who will have the privilege of accompanying him in his initiatory journey through Omnia? Let's find out now.

Chii is a maniac, maniac in Omnia!

The big winner chosen to follow Pankapu in his adventures is none other than Chii, a magic spider, offspring of Iketomi, the Hymn of the dreams. All small, even compared to our keeper not so big, but resourceful, this arachnid is far from the beast scaring so many people. And for good reason, very thoughtful with our hero, it guides him through Omnia and advices him regularly with some witty remarks. Because Chii is indeed very talkative! He can't stop commenting Pankapu's actions and give his opinion on everything. It's undoubtedly this mischievous side that our candid little keeper enjoyed. But behind his eight legs and his golden sheath, the spider also has very useful skills, like weaving dreamcatcher that allow our hero to have his soul come back in case of defeat to the Hya'Nagis.

Sheet model of Chii's character

As you will have realized, Chii is not only an important character of the story, but it's also through him that a certain number of interactions between the player and the game's universe. Saving, interactive and contextual help, as well as commenting the story, those will be the roles of the little spider.

However, no one really knows where Chii gets his powers from, or what his true origins are. Not even his best friend Pankapu who, in the end, doesn't know much about him, besides the fact that he's been guiding him ever since he was "born", and that he's always been watching over him, like an older brother or a sidekick. And while their relationship is required to change throughout the story, there's no doubt the mischievous sidekick is preparing for our hero some surprises that he will have woven.

Preparatory graphical research of Chii's character

The role of our hero, Pankapu, is to fight hordes of nightmares invading the realm of dreams of Omnia. Who are they and what do they want? Those are the questions we will answer here.

The troops of Hya'Nagis

The Hya'Nagis - that's how the personified nightmares are called in the world of Omnia - don't have a unique common shape. They are shapeshifting creatures taking the appearance, and sometimes even parasiting, elements of the world in which they evolve. Hidden in old stumps, taking the appearance of common stones, or draped in floating cloth, they wait for the perfect opportunity to attack the innocent souls that come across them.

The world of Omnia being well-done, the gods - called Hymns - created a gate separating the territory of nightmares from the dreams' one. It's this veil that catches the dreams and nightmares of humans and send them into one domain or the other. Then the Hya'Nagis are not necessarily bad, but it's their nature that makes them scare and attack others. This is the reason why they're separated, so they can't corrupt the dreams. However, lately, a large number of nightmares have managed to cross the veil. While Pankapu's role is only to push them away, this sudden invasion is probably hiding something bigger. Usually, nightmares are alone and unorganized. Here, they seem to be working as a group, some of them are even uniting to commit their crimes and counter the small keeper. Not being supposed to be particularly smart, there must be someone well-rounded behind this sudden uprising.

There is more than meets the eye

Will Pankapu restrict his task to being just a keeper, or will he investigate in order to find out more about those mysterious events? Some Hya'Nagis seem to respond to superior orders and there is a rumor going all around Omnia, spreading a name that could make the bravest tremble: Gangreyn. Who is this mysterious character, does he really exist and what are his objectives? 

Deep down inside the fast Lush Forest you can find the Mudjin Pound; settled in a copse, where the Anima flows wander through the forest small inhabitants' homes. Formerly peaceful and full of live, a feeling of fear dominates this place of quietness after the nightmares' invasion, forcing the Mudjins to escape their home. 

The Mudjin Pound is all about life, and the fact that those cute Mudjins used to live here. That’s why, at the heart of the pound, you can see a village. A peaceful place where those little troublemakers could live in and play by painting symbols on their homes while bathing in the source of everything. The place holds a milkier and sweeter atmosphere, it could even be seen as downy, to remind the joy of innocence. However, the village remains desperately empty, striking anxiety against a backdrop of loneliness…

 The platforms accessible by Pankapu are also houses. We embellished them with music instruments to note the musical activities of our dead light bubbles, the Mudjins. Music is a universal notion that wonderfully supports their jovial nature.

In the Mudjin pound, the environment is similar to a mangrove forest scattered with plantations close to sea anemones. There is a common idea in the whole region of Peppu: trees. And this idea can be found, allowing us to make connections between the levels.

At the end of the Garden, Peppu’s greenbelt, the Lush Forest, covers the bulk of this region of Omnia. It extends from the eaves of the Arboretum up to the very first stones of the Archipelago of the Winds.

Vibrant and rich with life and sensations, the LushForest allows souls to blossom and grow. These experiences enable them to begin their journey by leaving home and adventuring beyond into unknown territory

Once upon a time, in the land of Hya’ma

A soulless beast, High Lord of the night

Waiting patiently into the Darkness for the fight

To unleash his swarm for the glory of Yne’ska

    Chronicles of Omnia

The master of nightmares reveals himself!

Like every major villain, Gangreyn has his theme. A big thank you to our dear friend Ganaé who worked on this musical masterpiece.

Lord of Hya’ma, Gangreyn is an incarnated nightmare, born from the Darkness. He delights seeding fears into living beings, feeding himself from their deepest anxieties in order to grow the number of his brothers and spread his influence across the Boreal Veil.

Obsessed by a consuming love for his mother, Yne’ska the Lady in Black, Gangreyn is in perpetual seek for recognition. He forced himself to invade the world of Humans in order to establish the supremacy of his kind in all Omnia.

Our first concept (that you can see above), was describing an armored faceless, like our dear Pankapu (he is his antagonist after all !). The main idea, which will remain in the final version, was that Gangreyn could materialize shadows with the power of his will.

We wanted him as a sly and theatrical character. Such a jester who’s in prey to hatred, he is even more dangerous than unpredictable and hide himself behind an insane smile.

At the end, Gangreyn is built around the opposition of chiaroscuro with vivid and disturbing tints. In fact he is an emotional changing being, twisted between two tendencies – this contrast highlights his tempestuous nature. Furthermore, his flames and Machiavellian smile gives prominence to the theatrical temper of this ultimate nemesis.

You are now familiarized with our Evil shadow that will devour your sweetest dreams until the last drop…

Some of you may know Pankapu, because… Well, he’s, you know, the character that you’re playing as! Do you REALLY know him though? Where he comes from, what his task is, etc? You’re at the right place then!

Pankapu, the Dreamkeeper

In the World of spirits, Omnia, there are two distinct territories: the realm of dreams and the realm of nightmares. Even though no one is supposed to cross the border between those two, sometimes, Hya’Nagi, personified nightmares, try their luck and manage to infiltrate the area that’s forbidden to them. In order to prevent those invasions, Iketomi, the God of Dreams, has created a Keeper that’s been given the task to defend his kingdom. This Keeper is Pankapu.

By his nature –He was created from humans’ dreams – Pankapu is both naive and curious. Still, he’ll find out throughout his journey that he’s also gifted with a strong personality and powers that will have the Hya’Nagi shiver, up until the heart of their territory (they had it coming after all!)

The scarlet-armor Warrior

As Pankapu nevertheless needs to protect the realm of dreams, Iketomi won’t leave him bereft (how nice of him!). He thus gives him the Bravery Armour, sparkling red, protecting him from the many Hya’Nagi attacks. But what would an armor be without a sword to go with it? And on that level, our hero got a fair deal, since his “dad” gave him a blazing blade that can send the nightmares back to their homes as soon as they appeared.

Hence, it’s well-equipped and the heart filled with courage that Pankapu starts his adventure that, as you know, won’t exactly be a walk in the park. Our little warrior will indeed be confronted with his own doubts and will have to face much bigger obstacles than planned. Those difficulties will nevertheless have him surpass himself, his quest will make him grow, understand who he really is, and above all discover free will. But we’re entering spoiler territory here…

Like JJ and GG, Iketomi is the creator of Pankapu. Imposing, real symbolic figure for our warrior, what character is hiding behind this name? Let's paint a quick portrait of the one at the root of our adventure!

What is a Hymn?

Many experts have been looking into the situation. In order to understand their origins and the point of their existence, you have to study deeply the cosmology of Oä and Omnia's worlds, and concepts of creation and destruction that rule the Universe of Pankapu.

It's generally accepted that the Hymns are almighty entities, considered as Gods, expanding their grip on Omnia.

Iketomi, the weaver

Iketomi in his "natural" form, first research

While he can wear many forms, Iketomi is more often represented by an eight-armed slim man. Always in a good mood, he's a mischievous Hymn, unpredictable, but he doesn't lack humor.

He's the builder of the Web dominating the Sea of Stars on top of Oä'ma, the Web catching the dreams and crystallizing them to bring them to life. Those dreams, gone concrete in the spiritual world then come feed the Humans' inspirations in the material world.

Father and Mentor

To help him in his fight against the invasions of the Hya'Nagis on the dreams territory, Iketomi creates a formidable ally: Pankapu, woven from the humans' dreams, and his sidekick Chii. There is no doubt that you'll meet hiss again throughout our hero's adventure, always ready to give him some precious advice. But will Pankapu be able to follow them?

Everything starts with a story

                                              Background

To help his child fall asleep, a father tells him the story of Pankapu, a tiny warrior created by Iketomi the God of dreams. His mission is to fight the hordes of Nightmares who are trying to invade his world. In his quest, he will meet many characters, such as Chii, a magical spider who will become his friend and guide him all along this great adventure in Omnia.

During these events, he will also be confronted with Gangreyn, a dark and viscous opponent who will challenge him to go see Yne’Ska, the Mother of Nightmares. Then, the tiny hero will decide to not just save his world but also to go in the center of the nightmares land, to restrain the problem at its source.

At the end of his quest, Pankapu will discover the truth behind this invasion, understand the mystery of the nightmares’ origins and the fact, that maybe, they are not as bad as they look.
