A new christian game...any input is so valuable.

[Jon4TheCross]

I sure could use some input or ideas concerning this game I wrote. This is the rough draft, and any input would be of great value to me...just be honest if you have time to think about it. This could be great.

It sounds like a D&D type of game...

IMO it is not something I would play... Many people like war, action, destruction...
I think a better game would be a MMORPG of following David's life as a soldier in the Army...
You could set it up like a WoW game, where you do quests and learn without being preached too...
This could help show people what Judaism is, by subconsciously seeing how the Jews lived daily life...
See the power of God and what having faith in Him will do...
Understand the OT in a more cultural stance...
And it would appeal to people who are not believers...



P.s. I only read up to the like 10th rule, then I skimmed...

 

[Jon4TheCross]

Thanks for the input...even if you didn't read some of the best rules. I very much appreciate it. Maybe I should work on the order of rules.

 

[Jon4TheCross]

I challenge anyone to point out a better example of following Jesus in this current day. Nobody can...interesting that we christians show the world what we do...which i dont mind saying is confusing to the world... and dont want to do better? I would even be happy with excuses at this point. Even excuses are some kind of input like the previous post...at least he was honest in confessing that this is not something he would play. Wow...out of over 200 people I have allowed to look at this...I still only have one persons input. It must be too convicting for the average person who...goes...to church. Any excuses? Not enogh time to read it...had a marriage to go to...had to try out some new toy...any excuses at all? Sometimes I do wonder. No problem...God must not have y'all in mind for such a privilege.

 

[breno785au]

Yeah, I read some of it but had nothing to say. So I didn't say anything

 

[Jon4TheCross]

IngYup...figures. Not a scripture in the Bible contradicts any of it to my knowledge. I guess such a game would be better to play without the sin in the flesh of the church...but...then again...the church seems to think that we should continue in sin that grace may abound...God forbid. I can't find a body of so called believers/trusters that are really serious about hating the sin in their flesh...I pray to God that they truly do not love the sin in their flesh, and actually someday will make better efforts to do everything for the glory of God. Maybeits as simple as the love of the mammon of unrighteousness/money/stuff/false security and such things.

Still not surprised about the input...cause i am starting to think that the one needful thing spoken of in the end of Luke 10 is actually something most think they dont need much of. So be it...I am doing my best to give the church no excuse...but they dont have any that have anything to do with loving all of jesus and his commandments. We like alacart right?

 

[Jon4TheCross]

This will not go away for a while of letting people continue to ignore it because of the sin in their flesh. Remember, if we do that which we dont want to do...its not us who does it (the holy and perfect us which is not corruptible), but the sin in our flesh. If people cannot approve of this game...I dont think that they truly love all of God. If the light that is in you is darkness...how great is that darkness. You cannot serve God and mammon/riches. Anyone? Any input?
I hope at least some of the world reads this...cause it will help them to not believe/trust in the example currently being given by the majority of the Amedican "church".
I do believe our example (words mean little to those observing the example) is clearly seen by most of the world for what it is, which is hypocrisy and little effort to do anything about it. God will accept all of you, not part. Remember ananias and saphira? You think that was an wxample given for no reason?

Perhaps people just don't give a crap. And your arrogant, judgmental attitude isn't going to do anything to help you. Really shows your character that you are trying to force this on people and judge their spirituality on not wanting to give input on a game.

 

[AbbeyJoy]

Looks good Jon and try to be more loving on here in stead of judging the people on here. I see you really want people's imput and never really got one and is upset but here's mine it looks good and I'm sure that one day someone will play it

I am not a video game or game app type person. The only games I truly enjoyed growing up mostly were role playing games because I am an artist and I have enjoyed writing and drawing thru out my life. While there is a Bible based role playing game in existence today, I would caution against it because I don't think people should think they should imagine in changing the established Spirit revealed stories that are in the Word of God. We should not go beyond what is written. I thought of a Bible based role playing game set in the time right after the Pre-Trib Rapture happened, but it reminds me too much of my old past for me to enjoy such a thing again. Also, something doesn't sit right with me treating life like it is a game when I can just live it myself. Yes, there is nothing inheritently wrong with having an imagination and in being creative. However, I would rather use my creativity to glorify the Truth that is already established in God's Word. Not make up my own worlds of fun. There is already enough fun and enjoyment for me in God's Word alone. I don't need a game to help me to study God's Word and or to help me to obey it. God's Spirit does that. But if you prayed about this project and feel God can use such a thing for His glory and not your own, then by all means --- Glory be to Jesus Christ.

However, such a thing is not my cup of tea.
For there are ton of other things in God's Word I would love to do for the Lord; Games at this point in my life is just not one off them.

I read the first two pages and I'm already overwhelmed and seriously confused. I just don't get it.

What are you talking about bro?

 

[Jon4TheCross]

First of all...I am not judging anyone...just the sin in the flesh. If a person has no sin in their flesh to work on, then they are not part of the example being given to the world that ignores so many scriptures....like the fact that a Christian should not call anything their own except God.
Second of all...the zeal of Gods house has eaten me up, which is the temple. There is nothing in scripture that condemns the previous words I have written, or my attitude. Sometimes I do believe most Christians would reject Christ if he showed up to their place of gathering and told everyone what should be taken out of His house. I am pretty sure that some would call the cops on him if he showed up to the churches selling merchandise, and started tipping over the tables and throwing stuff on the shelves to the ground.

Thank you all for the input. Still...nobody has pointed out a better example than this game in our current country and time. The challenge standz.

I reviewed the game up until rule #33. This game has more rules than those given in the OT. Seriously, I would scrap this game project and focus on other more pertinent matters. I am too busy living life to abide by all these rules playing this game. My mantra is No Rules - Just Right.

 

[T_Laurich]

Jon you want someone to attack your game, challenge accepted...

First off just because nothing condemns what you say, does not mean what you say is correct...
On the judgement day, men will go up to Jesus saying they cast demons out in His name, yet they will not be saved...

When they cast demons out in His name, was it what they said that was wrong? Or was it their heart?

Person A says "Jesus" person B says "Jesus", I ask which is saved which isn't? Which one is condemned by what they say and which is liberated by the death on the cross?
Answer this and I will show where your words have condemned.


About the game... Can I ask what makes your game so great? If it was given to you by God, then why do you ask men to direct what God has given? Why do you ask corruption to help you build? Does a carpenter go to termites and ask their guidance?
If it was given to you by your own conviction, I ask what makes your conviction that it is a great game better than someone who says it isn't?

 

[AbbeyJoy]

Bro Maybe God has better plans for you to witness another way...just sayin

 

[T_Laurich]

I just want to say this man, I don't hate you... And I pray that if what I have said is wrong, God destroys me and builds me up so i will never do it again...

 

[Jon4TheCross]

No problem T_Laurich. I dont recall asking for someone to attack as you said, but I do value the input either way, cause it helps me understand more of the various patterns of thinking that exist in the church. When I am attacked my reward is greater in heaven anyways. I do not consider any of this input an attack.

i spent some time reading through this - didn't read it all yet in detail, but it is a little hard to comprehend the game in the format you have it written here. it reads more like a list of criteria for a linear program than a game description, you know? not that it's incomprehensible, or that the format isn't useful.

could you give a synopsis for us of what actual gameplay would be like? like describe a demo-walkthrough. i think that would help people who aren't familiar with game design get a better sense of what you're accomplishing with this idea.

i'll post more after i've read and understood better, and given the concept some thought.

 

[breno785au]

What engine would you consider using to prototype gameplay?
