Navi Games Inc.

Navi is from the Hebrew word losely translated "prophet" or "seer." It, however, might better be rendered "the voice of God on earth." The Isrealites looked to their navi for guidance and wisdom. Here at Navi Games Inc. we hope our games will also be a source of guidance and wisdom for those who play them. And we hope people will think they are badass too.

So I'll kick one off real quick. I couldn't sleep last night thinking of the art steeler game concept. I also though of a cool logo/intro idea. I picture the words rendered on screen in some rather simple type and a butterfly flitters in from the right side of the screen and settles on the "i" of "navi". As it settles the word turns silver slowly from left to right and freezes the butterfly with its wings half hopen on the "i" and there's like a laser sound akin to the THX sound (but not as intense) as the word changes. Finally a voice says, really quickly and softly, "Navi". Whatcha think?

Also here's something about the word for you guys:

    In reality the English word "prophet" is not an accurate translation of the Hebrew navi. Whereas the Hebrew term comes from a root meaning to speak or proclaim, the English one originates in a Greek word denoting the prediction of the future. The concept of Greek prophecy reflects a very different religious culture, in which oracles foretold coming events, and had scant interest in moral instruction.

    This is definitely not the case among the Hebrew prophets. The Nevi'im were not concerned with revealing the course of future events. Their messages were invariably aimed at the here-and-now, to proclaim God's word to their contemporaries.

Anyway, I'm excited.
Jason
