Escape The Pacific Wiki
Why Early Access?“Early Access is a great opportunity for us and for the players to help build Escape the Pacific the way the players will like and love it at most. Our game engine offers almost any combination of survival situations (latitude, season, weather, player statistics) so we look forward to see the community share their thoughts, opinions and ideas with us in this early development stage.”Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?“We plan to stay in EA stage for about 2-3 years. The exact time will depend on the amount of work to be ultimately done and is also influenced by the feedback from the community during the Early Access process/phase.”How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?“The full version is going to include all the functionalities and features from the then up-to-this-point early access version and will have more models, recipes and quests added to offer the planned gameplay quality and immersion. The game engine will be polished and balanced. The actual 3D models and animations will be replaced with more detailed, higher quality ones. After the full game is released we plan to start adding more extra fauna, flora and gameplay elements to expand the base game to a fully detailed huge world.”What is the current state of the Early Access version?“The game has the majority of its features implemented and is already working. All the objects and items needed to play the game in its current state are in place.

Considering whatsisface wasnt able to move away on his own, its possible he might have been caught on something, or landed just outside the portal at the spot where it read the DNA, thus becoming the permanent unlocker:).
Some extended features such as storyline, environmental disasters, co-op. Are not implemented yet.
In this early stage the game is under heavy development while the soon to come alpha builds can have bugs, malfunctions, missing features and other possible serious game breaking issues. We are continuously working on balancing the game and on optimizations as well as implementing new features on a regular basis.”Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?“We want to compensate the expenses for Early Access players with a lower price for the less content and possible bugs.
The full version will be priced slightly higher to reflect the added content and features during Early Access.”How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?“We are proud to say the community has been already involved into development processes from the very beginning when we have published our first article about Escape the Pacific. In exactly this manner we will continue to publish articles and content about new game features and our progress to allow the community to share their valuable feedback. It is essential to know what the community thinks about the game and what could be improved.”.

The lowest and highest temperatures recorded in Papeete are 16 and 34 °C (61 and 93 °F), respectively. See also: Early colonization of Tahiti The first Tahitians arrived from Western Polynesia sometime around 1000 CE, after a long migration from South East Asia or Indonesia, via the Fijian, Samoan and Tongan Archipelagos. This hypothesis of an emigration from Southeast Asia is supported by a range of linguistic, biological and archaeological evidence. For example, the languages of Fiji and Polynesia all belong to the same, which itself forms part of the great family of the.This emigration, across several hundred kilometres of ocean, was made possible by using that were up to twenty or thirty meters long and could transport families as well as domestic animals. In 1769, for instance, James Cook mentions a great traditional ship ( ) in Tahiti that was 33 m (108 ft) long, and could be propelled by sail or paddles.In 2010, an expedition on a simple outrigger canoe with a sail retraced the route back from Tahiti to Asia. Captain Cook witnessed the ceremony of in Tahiti, c.
1773.A clan was composed of a chief (ari'i rahi), nobles (ari'i) and under-chiefs ( 'Īato'ai). The ari'i, considered descendants of the Polynesian gods, were full of (spiritual power).
They traditionally wore belts of red feathers, symbols of their power. The chief of the clan did not have absolute power. Councils or general assemblies had to be called composed of the ari'i and the 'Īato'ai, especially in case of war.Each district or clan was organised around their marae, or stone temple.
Quotes John Orsmond, an early missionary, as stating, 'Marae were the sanctity and glory of the land, they were the pride of the people of these islands.' This was especially true for the ancestral and national marae associated with the royal line. 'It was the basis of royalty; It awakened the gods; It fixed the red feather girdle of the high chiefs.'
: 23,26–27Followers of were called ariori, and each district in Tahiti had an ariori lodge led by the avae parae, black leg. These leaders had legs tattooed from thigh to heel. The first 'Oro lodge was established around 1720 by Mahi, a representative of the high priest of and Tamatoa I, the high chief of.
The first 'Oro marae was established at.Around 1750, war broke out between Atehuru and, forcing Te'e'eva, the daughter of the Papara chief, to flee to Raiatea. She then married Tamatoa I's eldest son, Ari'ima'o, from which their son Mau'a was born. When warriors, led by Puni, invaded Raiatea in 1763, both Mau'a and the Taputapuatea priest, were forced to flee to Tahiti, where the new Papara chief Amo and his wife gave them refuge. This led to the building of the Mahaiatea marae at Papara. However, the marriage of Amo and Purea, and their status as black leg ariori, ended with the birth of their son Teri'irere.
Tupaia then became Purea's lover. Tupaia would eventually sail with Captain Cook on the Endeavor, while Mau'a would sail with Lt.

The meeting between and Oberea, serving the in an expedition to, was perhaps the first European to set eyes on the island of Tahiti. He sighted an inhabited island on 10 February 1606 which he called Sagitaria (or Sagittaria). However, whether the island that he saw was actually Tahiti or not has not been fully ascertained. It has been suggested that he actually saw the island of to the south-east of Tahiti. According to other authors the first European to arrive in Tahiti was Spanish explorer in his expedition of 1576–1577.The next European visitors arrived during the period of intense that filled the twelve years between the and the.The first European to have visited Tahiti according to existing records was Captain, who was circumnavigating the globe in, sighting the island on 18 June 1767, and eventually harbouring in. This bay was situated on the territory of the chiefdom of -, governed by and his regent Tutaha, and the chiefdom of, governed by Amo and his wife 'Oberea'.
Wallis named the island King George's Island. The first contacts were difficult, since on the 24 and 26 June 1767, Tahitian warriors in canoes showed aggression towards the British, hurling stones from their slings. In retaliation, the British sailors opened fire on the warriors in the canoes and on the hills.

In reaction to this powerful counter-attack, the Tahitians laid down peace offerings for the British. Following this episode, Samuel Wallis was able to establish cordial relations with the female chieftain 'Oberea ' (Purea) and remained on the island until 27 July 1767.: 45–84,104,135.
In July 1768, Captain James Cook was commissioned by the and on orders from the to observe the across the sun, a phenomenon that would be visible from. He arrived in Tahiti's Matavai Bay, commanding on 12 April 1769.: 141 On 14 April, Cook met with Tutaha and Tepau.: 144 On 15 April, Cook picked the site for a fortified camp at along with Banks, Parkinson, to protect observatory.: 147 The length of stay enabled them to undertake for the first time real ethnographic and scientific observations of the island. Assisted by the botanist, and by the artist, Cook gathered valuable information on the fauna and flora, as well as the native society, language and customs, including the proper name of the island, 'Otaheite'. On 28 April, Cook met Purea and Tupaia, and Tupaia befriended Banks following the transit.
On 21 June, Amo visited Cook, and then on 25 June, Pohuetea visited, signifying another chief seeking to ally himself with the British.: 154–155,175,183–185Cook and Banks circumnavigated the island from 26 June to 1 July. On the exploration, they met Ahio, chief of Ha'apaiano'o or Papenoo, Rita, chief of Hitia'a, Pahairro, chief of Pueu, Vehiatua, chief of Tautra, Matahiapo, chief of, Tutea, chief of, and Moe, chief of. In Papara, guided by Tupaia, they investigated the ruins of Mahaiatea marae, an impressive structure containing a stone pyramid or ahu, measuring 44 feet (13 m) high, 267 feet (81 m) long and 87 feet (27 m) wide. Cook and Endeavour departed Tahiti on 13 July 1769, taking Raiatean navigator along for his geographic knowledge of the islands.: 149,186–202,205Cook estimated the population to be 200,000 including all the nearby islands in the chain.: 308 This estimate was later lowered to 35,000 by anthropologist Douglas L. Oliver, the foremost modern authority on Tahiti, at the time of first European contact in 1767.In between the visits of Cook and Bonechea, the war of succession resumed amongst the Tahitian clans. This time Tutaha and his allies fought Vehiatua and his.
Several famous battles were fought, including 'Taora ofa'i' (shower of stones) and 'Te-tamai-i-te-tai-'ute 'ute' (the battle of the red sea). Tutahua and Tepau were eventually killed in battle, while Vehiatua died of old age. Vehiatua's son, Paitu, became Vehiatua II, while Tu became paramount chief of the island, ari'i maro 'ura.: 242–244,273The, following the instructions of the Spanish Crown, organised an expedition to settle and colonise the island in 1772, largely to prevent other powers from gaining a base in the Pacific from which to attack the coast of Peru, but also to evangelise. He sent two expeditions under the command of navigator, the first in 1772, aboard Aguila. Four Tahitians, Pautu, Tipitipia, Heiao and Tetuanui, accompanied Bonechea on his return voyage to Peru in 1773.: 236–256,325between 15 August and 1 September 1773, greeted by the chiefs Tai and Puhi, besides the young ari'i Vehiatua II and his stepfather Ti'itorea.
Cook anchored in before returning to Point Venus where he met Tu, the paramount chief. Cook picked up two passengers from Tahiti during this trip, Porea and, with Hitihiti later replacing Porea when Cook stopped at Raiatea. Cook took Hitihiti to Tahiti on 22 April, during his return leg. Then, Cook departed Tahiti on 14 May 1774.: 263–279,284,290,301–312Pautu and Tetuanui returned to Tahiti with Bonechea aboard Aguila on 14 November 1774, Tipitipia and Heiao having died in the interim. Bonechea died on 26 January 1775 in Tahiti, and was buried near the Spanish mission at. Tomas Gayangos took over command.
Gayangos set sail for Peru on 27 Jan, leaving the two friars, Father Geronimo Clota and Father Narciso Gonzalez, and Maximo Rodriguez and Francisco Perez, in charge of the Spanish mission. However, the Spanish mission on Tahiti was abandoned on 12 November 1775, after Aguila 's third voyage to Tahiti, when the Fathers begged its commander, Don Cayetano de Langara, to take them back to Lima.
Some maps still bear the name Isla de Amat for Tahiti, named after Viceroy Amat who ordered the expedition. A most notable result of these voyages was the journal by the marine Maximo Rodriguez, which contains valuable information about the Tahitians of the 18th century, augmented with the accounts by the Chilean Don Jose de Andia y Varela.: 321,323,340,351–357,361,381–383During his, Cook returned Ma'i to Tahiti on 12 August 1777, after Ma'i's long visit in England. Cook also brought two from, Te Weherua and Koa. Cook first harboured in Vaitepiha Bay, where he visited Vehiatua II's funeral and the Spanish mission house. Cook also met Vehiatua III, and inscribed on the back of the Spanish cross, Georgius tertius Rex Annis 1767, 69, 73, 74 & 77, as a counterpoint to Christus Vincit Carolus III imperat 1774 on the front. On 23 August, Cook sailed for Matavai Bay, where he met Tu, his father Teu, his mother Tetupaia, his brothers Ari'ipaea and Vaetua, and his sisters Ari'ipaea-vahine, Tetua-te-ahama'i, and Auo.
Cook also observed a human sacrifice, ta'ata tapu, at the 'Utu-'ai-mahurau marae, and 49 skulls from previous victims.: 405,419–435On 29 September 1777, Cook sailed for Papeto'ai Bay on Mo'orea. Cook met Mahine in an act of friendship on 3 October, though he was an enemy of Tu.
Cook sailed for Huahine on 11 October, Raiatea on 2 November, and Borabora on 7 December.: 440–444,447 British influence and the rise of the Pōmare Mutineers of the Bounty. Tahitians in missionary robesIn 1819, Pōmare II, encouraged by the missionaries, introduced the first Tahitian legal code, known under the name of the Pōmare Legal Code, which consists of nineteen laws.
The missionaries and Pōmare II thus imposed a ban on nudity (obliging them to wear clothes covering their whole body), banned dances and chants, described as immodest, tattoos and costumes made of flowers.In the 1820s, the entire population of Tahiti converted to Protestantism., who berthed in Tahiti in May 1823, attests to the change in Tahitian society in a letter dated 15 May 1823: 'The missionaries of the Royal Society of London have totally changed the morals and customs of the inhabitants. Idolatry no longer exists among them, and they generally profess the Christian religion. The women no longer come aboard the vessel, and even when we meet them on land they are extremely reserved. (.) The bloody wars that these people used to carry out and human sacrifices have no longer taken place since 1816.' When, on 7 December 1821, Pōmare II died, his son Pōmare III was only eighteen months old. His uncle and the religious people therefore supported the regency, until 2 May 1824, the date on which the missionaries conducted his coronation, a ceremony unprecedented in Tahiti.
Taking advantage of the weakness of the Pōmare, local chiefs won back some of their power and took the hereditary title of Tavana (from the English word 'governor'). The missionaries also took advantage of the situation to change the way in which powers were arranged, and to make the Tahitian monarchy closer to the English model of a constitutional monarchy. They therefore created the Tahitian Legislative Assembly, which first sat on 23 February 1824.In 1827, the young suddenly died, and it was his half-sister, 'Aimata, aged thirteen, who took the title of. The Birmingham born missionary, who was the acting British consul, became her main adviser and tried to interest her in the affairs of the kingdom.
But the authority of the Queen, who was certainly less charismatic than her father, was challenged by the chiefs, who had won back an important part of their prerogatives since the death of Pōmare II. The power of the Pōmare had become more symbolic than real; time and time again Queen Pōmare, Protestant and anglophile, sought in vain the protection of England.
Queen Pomare and her family on the verandah of Mr. Pritchard's house, during the French Invasion of TahitiIn 1836, the Queen's advisor Pritchard had two French Catholic priests expelled,. As a result, in 1838 France sent Admiral to get reparation. Once his mission had been completed, Admiral Du Petit-Thouars sailed towards the Islands, which he annexed in 1842. Also in 1842, a European crisis involving escalated between France and Great Britain, souring their relations. In August 1842, Admiral Du Petit-Thouars returned and landed in Tahiti. He then made friends with Tahitian chiefs who were hostile to the Pōmare family and favourable to a French protectorate.
He had them sign a request for protection in the absence of their Queen, before then approaching her and obliging her to ratify the terms of the treaty of protectorate. The treaty had not even been ratified by France itself when was named royal commissaire alongside Queen Pōmare.Within the framework of this treaty, France recognised the sovereignty of the Tahitian state. The Queen was responsible for internal affairs, while France would deal with foreign relations and assure the defence of Tahiti, as well as maintain order on the island. Once the treaty had been signed there began a struggle for influence between the English Protestants and the Catholic representatives of France. During the first years of the Protectorate, the Protestants managed to retain a considerable hold over Tahitian society, thanks to their knowledge of the country and its language.

Political map of Oceania, showing bordersTahitians are French citizens with complete civil and political rights. French is the official language but Tahitian and French are both in use. However, there was a time during the 1960s and 1970s when children were forbidden to speak Tahitian in schools. Tahitian is now taught in schools; it is sometimes even a requirement for employment.Tahiti is part of French Polynesia. French Polynesia is a semi-autonomous territory of France with its own.
France's influence is limited to subsidies, education and security.During a press conference on 26 June 2006 during the second France-Oceania Summit, French President said he did not think the majority of Tahitians wanted independence. He would keep an open door to a possible in the future.Elections for the, the Territorial Assembly of French Polynesia, were.In a surprise result, 's pro-independence progressive coalition, formed a government with a one-seat majority in the 57-seat parliament, defeating the conservative party, led. On 8 October 2004, Flosse succeeded in passing a motion against the government, provoking a crisis. A controversy is whether the national government of France should use its power to call for new elections in a local government in case of a political crisis.Demographics.

Other ferries are the Aremiti 5 and the Aremiti 7 and these two ferries sail to Moorea in about half an hour. There are also several ferries that transport people and goods throughout the islands. The Bora Bora cruiseline sails to about once a week. The main hub for these ferries is the Papeete Wharf.Roads Tahiti has a freeway that runs across the west coast. This freeway starts in and continues across the Papeete urban area. Then it continues along the west coast of Tahiti Nui through smaller villages.
The freeway turns east toward Taravao where Tahiti Nui meets Tahiti Iti. Tahiti's west coast freeway keeps going until where the freeway becomes a thin paved road.See also.
