After some time away from Bible video games to focus on the PrayerMate app, I've had the chance to revisit the concept, which has evolved over the years. Read more about my new Bible Overview mobile game project: The Serpent and the Seed
Of all the Bible-based computer games I’ve had my eye for a while, few have got me as excited as Righteous Tales – David vs Goliath. Until they actually get released, one can never be entirely sure how seriously to take them, but from all of the pre-release material this game looked like it […]
In the Old Testament Adventures Creed I talked about how useless “morality” is in changing human behaviour. Simply telling me what I should be doing differently isn’t even to bring about lasting change, because the problem is that in my sinfulness I don’t want to do the right thing.
Truth be told, a lot […]
I came across this Kickstarter for Call of Abraham today. I don’t know the people involved, and I have no idea whether the game will be any good. But I decided to help fund it, because I think projects like this deserve a fighting chance. It takes money to make a decent game – […]
This is absolute gold-dust: Pixar’s 22 rules of storytelling
Here’s a good one:
7. Come up with your ending before you figure out your middle. Seriously. Endings are hard, get yours working up front.
Interesting piece on the topic of Religion in Video Games:
A recent academic study into religion within video games by University of Missouri doctoral student Greg Perreault took a look at a wide range of games including Mass Effect 2, Final Fantasy 13, Assassin’s Creed, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, […]
Great post over on Life of a Steward on the temptation to give up on work that matters:
“When you’re doing work that matters, temptation will come… When we think of being tempted, we think of sexual affairs or perhaps the allure of lying for financial gain.
…
But this testing […]
Some friends of mine who I got to hang out with at the Christian Game Developers Conference last summer have recently launched a campaign on Kickstarter to raise the funds they need to create a great game based on the Codebearers series of book. They describe the project like this:
“Kaio Interactive was […]
Came across an interesting article on Gamespot this week titled “Having Faith In Your Games“. It’s a good discussion of the distinction between games that merely use Bible stories as a setting vs. games that actually communicate principles and make you examine your own heart in the light of them. I don’t know anything […]
I think this is technically a blog post about a blog post about a blog post, which is probably a no-no, but I don’t mind. I’m a huge fan of the Mockingbird blog – a Christian perspective on the media with an emphasis on the fallenness of mankind and our desperate dependence on the […]
This morning I came across a new Facebook game based on the book of Exodus called “Journey of Moses” – and it’s pretty good! You can read a quick news article about it on CNN, but I suggest you just dive in and have a play.
The game takes the form of […]
