Hello all, just wanted to say I’m pumped and ready to go for this years speedgame!
Glad I saw the post about it on the Christian devs or artist Facebook group page. I was thinking it would be closer to the summer or maybe the fall, but I’m always ready and willing to use my game development skills for the up building of God’s kingdom!
Now on to my scripture choices:
Luke 19:10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
May be able to make an exploration game from this. Either searching for a lost sheep or a person. However, I don’t really like the idea of playing as Jesus in a game (especially if you can ‘lose’ at the game). Maybe, if I choose this you can play as ‘a good shepherd’. Even though we know Jesus is the good shepherd, we aren’t directly referencing the Lord. Again, may look at this closer later.
Judges 21:25 In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
Not really sure what to make of this one. This could either be a good thing or a bad thing. Every man doing what is right in their own eyes may not reflect what is right in the Lord’s eyes. Also even when Israel did have kings, the number of the unrighteous ones far outnumber the righteous ones. May need to take another look at this one.
Genesis 50:20 But as for you, ye thought evil against me; butGod meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it isthis day, to save much people alive.
Only thing I can think of for this is a retelling or a modern retelling of the story of Joseph. Not sure if time constraints will let me make what I would envision for this properly, but definitely a great story / theme to revisit in video game format.
Whichever I choose, I’ll need to get started ASAP. My problem (in my opinion) with my entry to last years speed game, was my vision ( an open world Christian game with multiple Christian radio stations with Spider-Man like wall climbing abilities) was too grand especially with me deciding on it halfway through the speed game development time. I believe as long as I get started relatively close to the starting time, I should be ok.
But we’ll see what unfolds as it happens.
Can’t wait to both get started and see what everyone else comes up with!
God bless!
