Signed up to say an RPG set in Genesis in Eden would be really cool. Or a survival type city builder where Cain gets kicked out and builds the first cities in ancient Sumer.
Viewing post in Looking for Christian game developers!
You do can found religions in civilisation series. But it is in name only. Any historical accuracy would be to close to home, I guess. The problem is, whatever you do, you will offend someone. And within christianity there are factions, that even went to war about how they would be christians. My granny told me, when she was young, people would even switch the side of the street when walking to avoid the other denomination. There are literally over a dozen different faction in Christianity. And this is ignoring the precursor Judaism, where all that Bible stuff comes from, and that Islam is rooted on Judaism/Christianity as well.
Specifically for Christians would be the New Testament, so, maybe an rpg with Jesus gathering his party up. But using Jesus as prot is bound to offend some, so maybe an unnamed disciple. Those guys did travel with more than themselves. It was not custom to name all the women one was traveling with. So maybe one of those unnamed women, going on quests to help J behind the scenes. But that is bound to offend some fundamentalists that have opinions about women...
There are reasons that there are not many religious games ;-)
I would like to mention here that is Islam is not rooted on Christianity but had it's origins way before.
And take this as a reply for the shit you posted in my game comments:
I am NOT a hypocrite. I criticize adult games containing sexual content. I never criticized a horror game. Both of them are different things not the same group. Horror games are not for only adults but also for teenagers and children.
Okay now I have to give you a whole explaination on the plot of the game.
A little girl takes an admission in a boarding school, which makes a strange request to arrive at midnight. So her parents drop her at school. She is attacked by a ghost teacher and on waking up finds herself in a creepy classroom. So why did the ghost teacher do this ? Because she's crazy and a ghost. In the beginning of the game the time shown is 12:01 and in one of the rooms it is written in blood that the punishment for latecomers is death. So the ghost wants to kill her for the reason she arrived one minute late.
And the game shows pixelated blood. You are just using the game as an excuse to oppose me. The real reason is that you yourself like the stuff I'm against.
I'm not the most active poster in the community. I hadn't posted anything since about a week. And I don't think you check recent posts on itch.io to find a thread but my community profile.
I don't know why you can't mind your own business and keep poking your nose everywhere I post.
I stopped the argument on adult games and I'm not angry at the mod any more. You seem to continuously trying to provoke me to restart it.
I banned you from the game comments because you were making irrelevant posts which weren't related to the game. You only used my game as an excuse.
And I don't have enough time to argue with a nosy git who has plenty of useless time, weightless arguments and lots of trash talk. So shut up and don't bother to follow me to another thread because I'll probably report you if you do, which I haven't till now. Okay ?
Horror games are not for only adults but also for teenagers and children.
You have a kid explode into blood in your game. That is not suitable for children to play.
The reason I am "against you", is that you preach your own morals. And you are a bigot about it and a hypocrite. Since you are unwilling to look up the word defintions, here, for you (note, that these words do have more than one definition, i write the one fitting you):
merriam-webster dictionary: bigotry: obstinate or intolerant devotion to one's own opinions and prejudices
You are intolerant of sexual adult content in games (played by adults). And you are devoted about it to the point of breaking community rules to preach about it.
merriam-webster dictionary: hypocrite: a person who puts on a false appearance of virtue or religion
You put on the virtue of protecting children from bad stuff as you like to word it, while simultaneously having a game that is not suitable for children to play. And you even have the audacity to claim, that horror games are for children to play.
Do not flatter your ego by thinking I follow you to threads. There are many threads where I posted before you did, so you "followed" me there. As I tried to explain to you, there are not that many active posters. They are bound to meet often.
And do not twist facts. YOU did go back to that thread after a week of silence. YOU! You even invited people to talk to you. Now you ban me, because I did. Also, since I finally had a look at your game and seeing that you make a gore game while bashing on adult game developers ... it would be funny, if not for your seriousnes, but it made your ramblins appear in a new light, as the hypocrisy became obvioious.
Interesting that you felt it necessary to ban me. I right out told you in the first line you should delete the comment, and that I would edit it away, if you do not. Banning me, while following me to a unrelated thread to rant is a very childish reaction.
Go report away all you like. Waste more time of mods. You do not even know what harrassment is, you even accused a mod of doing it. Posting in the same threads is not harrassment. Following people and calling them a git, is.
And for the record, Christinany was founded about 2000 years ago. Islam about 600 years later. Jesus is a prophet in the Quran. How can you claim they are unrelated or it is even older ?? ("had it's origins way before"). It is considered an abrahamic religion by actual scholars. Go argue with them and not with me.
Since you probably blocked me as well as banned me, you might not even read this.
So I want to apologize to the other thread readers, that this relgigious juvenile zealot followed me here. But it actually is a prime example why it is hard to make a religous game. He is not even offended about religous stuff (at least it was not discussed), but about adult stuff. Imagine if there were a game with religious elements that insult his view of religion.
This is a third time you said exactly the same thing in different words and this is the third time I have to reply to it. So you are also bending a rule by spamming.
I already know what bigot and hypocrite means. I've proved I'm not one already but I'll say it again: THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HORROR AND ADULT GAMES AND I OPPOSE ADULT GAMES SO HOW CAN I BE DOING HYPOCRISY.
Plus in my game the enemy is doing it so if children do play my game it will show them gore and violent stuff is done by evil people. The full game will revolve around a group of students who will try to find about the mysterious past of darkwood boarding school. When they will find out that kids are being tortured here, they will try to set them free and escape together. They will never be the first one to attack any monster but will only fight in defense so in a way it's doing the opposite of what you're saying. It's setting a good example for kids to always do good and oppose evil. And I'm mentioning my game age rating here, it's 12+ because as I said I got the idea when I was 12 so it's not too scary for kids that old. I'll probably edit my game description later on and mention it there as well.
Why did I go back to the thread a week later ? The reason is that I was busy and gotta time to post anything on it h after a week only.
Okay I am a Muslim. Prophet Muhammad (SAW) brought the message of Islam about 1400 years ago. But there were prophets and saints who preached Islam before that. Like prophet Ibrahim(AS)(Abraham as mentioned in bible) and his son Ismail(AS). Also I believe that the first human and prophet, Adam(AS) is a Muslim.
Anyone who's reading this I'd like to mention I'm a religion tolerant person which means I never insult people on the basis of religion, respect others religious beliefs and never try to force my beliefs in them. I'm not a religious juvenile zealot according to this hunter guy. I opposed adult content but will never do it with religious content unless it opposes my religion. And YOU stop playing innocent here where many people are likely to see your posts.
And I think we both should stop now because this argument is turning into a serious fight which will in the end result both of our time getting wasted, no benefits and maybe even both of us getting suspended. Don't even bother to reply to this post. The fight is over.
Please let's not discuss religious viewpoints here, That was exactly the argument I made. Religous content in games is bound to offend someone, as the stuff in the bible is basis for 3 religions. They all have different views and even within those religions there are factions and you are proving my point, that even though you are a muslim, you do in fact have opinions about the content in the old testament.
As for the other stuff, you do not even realize your mistakes, like you do not know the meaning of spamming either. It does not matter what you think is appropriate for children to watch or play. Any age rating is determined not by the creator of a game, but by other people. The intent is to protect children from content that is inapropriate for them. You know, to protect them from "bad stuff".
I wish you luck and success, so you may have one day a concerned facebook mom report you for offensive content. You do not believe me, but you might be forced to believe content moderation on youtube and even itch.
