Hello! I’m Aulia.

嗨！我是Aulia。

In the previous devlog, I have explained about the term sompral and how it is actually related to horror we perceive. After posting it on, one of our backers commented on our kickstarter page that we actually haven’t properly explained the meaning our big title “Pamali”. Yeah we’ve finally realized about it because of the comment (insert emoji) Thank you for reminding us! I will explain about the meaning of Pamali and the relation between Pamali with Indonesian horror. Also, I would like to introduce our new feature which accommodates you to learn about Pamali in our game.

在之前的《开发者日志》中，我已经解释了sompral这个词，以及它是如何与我们感知到的恐怖联系在一起的。在发布之后，我们的一个支持者在我们的kickstarter页面上评论说，我们实际上并没有正确解释我们的大标题Pamali的含义。是的，正是该评论让我们终于意识到这一点 :D，谢谢你提醒我们! 我将解释Pamali的含义，以及Pamali与印尼恐怖之间的关系。同时，我也想介绍我们的新功能，让您在游戏中了解Pamali。

By definition, Pamali is a taboo, prohibition or restriction that should be avoided for social and cultural reasons. Here in Indonesia, Pamali is usually told from older generation to younger generation because they want to teach the younger generation some manners that are considered proper in a cultural perspective. Pamali can also be in a form of words, actions, or even cultural customs. If the certain taboo or prohibition is done, there’s always a consequence that follows.

根据定义，Pamali是一种由于社会和文化原因应该避免的禁忌、禁止或限制。在印度尼西亚，Pamali通常是由老一辈人告知给年轻一代的，因为他们想教年轻一代一些从文化角度来看正确的行为方式。Pamali也可以是一种语言、一种行为，甚至是一种文化习俗。如果触犯了某些禁忌或禁令，那必将招致后果。

Let me give you some examples. Sitting in a doorway or playing hide and seek when the sun goes down are considered as Pamali. Our older generation said that sitting in a doorway will make us very hard to meet our love partner and playing hide and seek in the evening will make us kidnapped by a ghost. There are also some Pamali based on cultural customs, such as a younger sister shouldn’t have married first before the older sister. As the consequence, the younger sister should grant any wish of the older ones. Those are the examples of popular Pamali, however, there are still lots of Pamali told by older generation to us. From one area to another area, the Pamali might be different, the word that represents Pamali value itself might also be different. But, the meaning remains the same.

我来举几个例子。当太阳下山后坐在门口或玩捉迷藏就被认为是Pamali。据老一辈的人说，坐在门口会让我们很难遇到爱人，而晚上玩捉迷藏会让被幽灵绑架。此外也有一些其它的基于文化习俗的Pamali，比如妹妹不应该比姐姐先结婚。否则，妹妹就要满足姐姐的任何愿望。这些都是广为流传的Pamali例子，但是仍然有很多老一辈人告诉我们的Pamali。不同地区关于Pamali的说法也可能是不同的，代表Pamali价值本身的单词也可能是不同的。但是，它们的意义是一样的。

So, from what aspect Pamali is related to the horror we perceive? The consequence from the Pamali is in a form of fear. They tell us not to do certain actions because there must be terrifying consequences that follow. It’s a Pamalito be sompral (link previous devlog?) in a haunted area, because there’s a consequence that will bring nightmare to you. Because we have that kind of fear, it creates the horror. Children shouldn’t go outside when the sun goes down, or they will get kidnapped by a ghost. It sounds terrible, right? Because of that, the story about the ghost kidnapping children arises, spreads out and becomes the folklore horror.

那么，Pamali从哪个方面与我们感知到的恐怖有关呢? Pamali带来的后果是一种恐惧。我们应该避免采取某些行动，因为随之而来的必然是可怕的后果。因为我们有那种恐惧，它制造了恐惧。孩子们不应该在太阳下山的时候出去，否则他们会被幽灵绑架。听起来很可怕，对吧? 正因为如此，关于幽灵绑架儿童的故事应运而生，流传开来，成为民间的恐怖故事。

Therefore, we think that Indonesian horror is heavily influenced by cultural aspect of our daily lives, from the sompral value to pamali value which later creates the folklore that we perceive as folklore horror. We want to introduce this kind of horror to the world through Pamali game. However, not only introducing the horror, we also want the player to learn about Pamali value first-handedly in our game. Because of this purpose, we add a new feature in our game that allow you to explore Pamali more and collect new information regarding Pamali as you play the game. This is not available on the demo version of Pamali, so please wait for our full game!

因此，我们认为印尼恐怖在很大程度上是受我们日常生活中文化方面的影响，从sompral价值到Pamali价值。我们想通过Pamali游戏向世界介绍这种恐怖。然而，我们不仅想让玩家了解恐怖，我们也想让玩家在游戏中亲身体验Pamali的价值。因为这个目的，我们在游戏中添加了一个新特色，允许玩家在玩游戏时更多地探索Pamali并收集关于Pamali的新信息。这在游戏的演示版本中是不可用的，所以请等待我们的完整版游戏!
