1. Is there a discord?
2. Is there a twitter/bluesky hastag we can use when we make a submission?
Little Update: I still haven't decided what I want to post here exactly, but I have noticed an increase in Christian developers ( atleast in my circles ), so just incase any other Christian developers stumble across my thread I may post some verses you'll find useful/inspirational here!! Starting with this one:
Colossians 3:23
Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the lord and not for men.
I think this verses means we should work hard/diligently, and make games that honor the lord. Sometimes I've found this hard to accomplish, but it's definitely not impossible if you keep working at it. ╰(*°▽°*)╯
My games aren't very good ( yet ), since I'm still trying to learn my engine and improve. But if you would like to check out one of my games, try "Baltimore Penitentiary: Code GALE". I think it's my best one so far ( and also not a tech demo ). It does have some UI bugs and text bugs, unfortunately. Although I do feel like my games are improving, my older games are almost embarrassingly bad/poorly made.
Hi, I'm a Christian developer, and I was wondering if there are any other Christian developers out there who want to share their games or experiences as a Christian Developer in general.
~~ I will add some Icebreaker questions to this post later ( as I'm busy atm ). ~~
I may also post scripture in this thread and it's connection to game development regularly, so feel free to subscribe/follow this thread!
I hope you have a blessed day!

This was honestly a really cool game. Idk if we're suppose to share ratings, but I gave you 5 stars for creativity and Theme. I LOVED the laugh hotel, and the NPC's crazed dialog LOL. I'm sure you were inspired by the game "OFF" while creating this.
What drew me into this game was the seemingly hand-drawn pictures in the thumbnails, and intro scenes. It looks like you either took a picture of paper drawings or photo-scanned them, either way it added a unique quality to the game. ( I may even try that in a future game myself, although I'm not that good at physicals drawing ). If you had stuck with that technique throughout the game, it would have added more cohesiveness to your project ( instead of doing a different style after the intro ).

I've already commented on the jam page, but this was a very well thought-out strategy game! I left you some feedback here!

General Thoughts
Overview
This is a very interesting strategy type of game. It almost reminds me of a game like monopoly, where every step you take has a boost or detraction effect.

In response to your reply to the other commenter, I think it's unusual to share source code ( anywhere in tech, not just here ), for two reasons:
1. Exporting all that code would be difficult
2.Some people spend years learning their craft, and how to program functions, they might not see it as fair to give it away for free.
3. Beginner programmers ( especially self-taught ones ), probably don't have to best code to begin with.
If you want to learn to code, I recommend purchasing a book that will teach you your game engine, and/or watch some YouTube tutorials.
