Plan for Alex Rufon

I need the following to get my project going. Fortunately, I'ved got some people promising to help.
1. Game Engine - I'll do that!
2. Concept Art - Art promised to sketch some.
3. Textures - Marvin is just waiting for the game theme.
4. Object Models - Jordan wanted to do that.
5. Sounds/Music - Dennis has a lot of ideas.
Basically, I just need the following and I'm set. :)
1. Torque Game Engine - My wife promised me that she'll let me buy it by October 2002.
2. Story Board - Hmmm. Need to go and research some more on Philippine Folktales.
Back-up Plan:
Until I get the Torque Engine, I'll have to work with Crystal Space 3D and World Craft. Anybody know where I can get the complete text for "Biag ni Lam-ang"?

About the author
I am an independent game developer who's never going to make it in the industry because I'm color blind and has absolutely no imagination.

Unfortunately, I need to find the complete story. My teams discussion is around his life and travails which means we need to get into the nitty-gritty graphical details ... which I hope the complete text (I'll even settle for the original language, which is I think in Ilokano) could give us more gory details.
Im planning to go up to Bagio (in the Philippines) on November 2002 to get some visuals (hmmm ... I think it would be better if I bring both a digital camera and a video camera) so my team can start on some textures and world models. :)
Side-note:
As a child the story of Lam-ang was told to me by my Granny ... unfortunately, the whole thing was told to me in "Waray" (a dialect in the Visayas region of the Philippines) which is TOTALY different from "Ilokano". Still, I'm hoping that we can make a viable story board from Lam-ang's story. :)

Yes. I found the same synopsis in the web too. Unfortunately, I need to find the complete story.

Torque Owner James \"Corvidae\" Williams
Nine months before he was born to a noble family his father left for the mountains to defeat an evil tribe of Igorots. Unfortunately, he was beheaded, and his head was displayed at the center of the village as a prize. When the mother gave birth, she was surprised when the baby grew up instantly. Lam-Ang, as he was named, promised to find out what happened to his father by going up the mountains himself. There, helped by a good tribe of Igorots, he encountered the evil tribe and killed every last one of them as vengeance, just by using a single spear.
When he returned home, he was so tired that he wanted to bathe. He dipped into the Amburayan river, which was instantly drenched in mud and blood. So filthy was the flow that the animals in the river crawled out and died on its shores.
The following day he told his mother that he wanted to marry; using his supernatural abilities he predicted he would wed a woman named Ines who lived north in a small town named Kandon. On the way he encountered a stone giant who was burning the rice and tobacco plants. Using a silver shield he inherited he beheaded the giant and burned the body.
Ines had a multitude of suitors, and they crowded her house in Kandon. So many were they that Lam-Ang had to step on their heads and walk through a window just to enter the house. Ines was immediately stricken by his strength that she agreed to marry him. But her parents were still skeptical: they needed a dowry from his parents in return for Ines
