I think Lilo & Stitch is one of the best Disney movies of all time, it's in my top 3. But I wouldn't want a Lilo & Stitch world (Hawaii) for the same reasons as Moana, at least not when there are better level candidates out there. It's just Hawaii. Beaches and houses. I remember playing BBS for the first time being kind of disappointed they did the spaceship instead of Hawaii, but from a game design perspective that allowed more room for level design and creativity. Still wasnt a great level but probably better than a beach and...the Luau place? Lilos house?

Second, we're currently having a look at how the staff teams are set up, what is working well and what isn't, and thinking about restructuring things a bit. We'll have more to say about that soon. For now, I've made one small change which is to change the "Team Leaders" role to "Leadership Team", which will better reflect that this is a group of staff who are there to offer guidance and support to everyone else.

Staff Announcements Chat
FYI - I've created this channel so that we have one place to make lil announcements about changes to the site, to the staff, or things of that nature. To start with, I've made a #staff-info channel, which is a work in progress, but before long it'll contain everything that everyone needs to know in order to help out on the site.

I think one can love a movie and understand it doesn't make for a good video game level. Tony Hawk games excelled and were popular because you could make any sort of location into a skate level. You can grind on things, and the board is not attached to you therefore you can do both grab moves, flip moves, or other things. The reason surfing games failed is because every level is just waves and theres way more limitation to what you can do in a video game with that. Likewise snowboarding is downhill and the board is attached, so less trick variation. SSX did it right focusing more on extreme exaggeration of physics and score. Some things translate better to games than others. Hercules, Nightmare Before Christmas, Aladdin, Tron, Alice in Wonderland - these are killer locations to give players a chance to explore and interact with. Moana, Zootopia, Lilo & Stitch (Hawaii), 101 Dalmations, The Aristocats, Ratatouie, and arguably Frozen and Tangled to a degree dont have much to translate into a game

Trailer Keyblade (Flowing Edge/Lava Slash) candidates: Hercules: theres a lava and ice titan, but this is water not ice. also, a keyblade would not be based on them if it was a Hercules keyblade and would instead be something more thematic of the film. Plus they wouldn't tease a keyblade for a returning world (especially one already with a keyblade design), which eliminates any previous world in KH. Atlantis: Underwater city, theres a very short escape sequence where lava is coming up near the end. But a keyblade on this world would based on the Atlantean aesthetic or the steampunk-ish style of the explorers. Not this. Elemental: Elements water and fire are center stage, but its more so fire than lava. Strong candidate but eliminated based on lava. Moana: There are both water and lava entities that appear, from the sea and lava. The movie has no other iconography or style or themes to base a keyblade off of. Tattoos would not make for a keyblade. Conclusion: Its 100% Moana and theres no more debate to be had. Which in my opinion sucks because skimming through the movie again, there is zero interesting locations or aspects to put in a video game level and explore. Theres a featureless beach, the crabs nondescript cave, and then the remaining 90% of the film is on a raft at sea. Ignoring a conversation of the quality of the film itself, its more character driven and less spectacle or interesting locale. The Rock will not do the game. From a game design standpoint this is a bad level choice and will be the Arendelle of KH4. But just like Arendelle, it will be in due to marketing/promotional reasons.
