Rebel Planet Trailer #2
I can't believe its been a whole year since I posted our first trailer. This year has seen some major improvments graphically I think and we continue to inch our way forward toward a completed game. We'll release a demo for the community here in June. For now, here's a new trailer for you to check out... Feedback positive and negative is welcome.

The game has a christian background within? I won't buy it...sorry...I think religion has nothing to do in games but I love the grafix and so on...

Very appreciative of Wired's generous articles. I have to laugh though - one quote he has me saying I'm pretty sure I didn't say (must have been someone else at the conference) - but it was a good phrase...so I'll take it LOL As for the Christian content, yes the themes are Christian in nature. However, the game is not preachy and those uncomfortable wtih religious themes I don't think would have a problem with our story. For those interested to hear the message behind our game there will be a "directors cut" menu option but that of course is optional and separate from the gameplay...

Hi Blindleader,
I am not religious as well but I work for that project and I am sure that this can also be seen as a very nice fantasy game. Peter has created such a nice story that I would not complain about any christian background. Some games like Gothic 1 and 2 also had religion involved in their story. Though this religion from Gothic is a mere fiction but I do not see a bad point with this.
It would be a problem when the fun is missing and the game would only preach a few messages. But this is not the case (and there is no problem at all with most of the christian messages - these are the base of our society and of our thinking even when we are not religious).
At the end this will be a beautiful game. And I invite you to be open hearted. Listen to the past, the history and to some religions (not only the christian religion). You can learn alot from other people. Do you think that only one way is the right one? No, I don't think so. Many people find their own one and help each other. I find it very good to learn and to respect each other and to be happy with that in a community. And the religion is just another community.

Aslong as I'm not playing some angel sent to kill all those who dont go to church I'm cool with it.
Bummer. Guess I'll have to take that part out... j/k
Again, the game does have a message that we're passionate about, but we aim to present it in a tasteful way and in such a way that is respectful of those who disagree with the Christian worldview. And as evidence of that, as Frank has already pointed out above, we have many wonderful folks working on the project who aren't Christian themselves but who still feel comfortable with our product.
Ultimately, most games have a message of one kind or another (excpect maybe Tetris ). I definately believe computer games have a place in the marketplace of ideas!

I think your idea of a before flood world is sweet. It is a good theme for RPGs because you can tie it in with the real world. The idea of a civilization before time, be it Atlantis or whatever else, gives the author alot of freedom. I liked the dinosaurs with people idea, although there is no imperical evidence to support this, alot of christians will tell you that we simply haven't found the skeletons yet lol. Good argument, if there was a catastrophic flood all of the remains could have been washed anywhere. Though I am not a christian, I will pimp this site because I am interested in the archaeology aspect of it. Link Here's an example I thought up: What do you know about how a nuclear reactor works? If this sort of technology was in the hands of a few skilled cultures that were wiped out by one thing or another (e.g. flood, meteor), and you and a few others were the only survivors, what could you tell the world about this technology? Likely almost nothing, exept that your people had an advanced energy source that had the power to destroy the world. You might be able to say that it uses radioactive metals like cobalt and uranium but the specifics will be lost. Sound familiar? Hundreds of years pass and your story was written down in books and becomes myth. Although no specifics are given, rumors of an advanced civilization continue. If the entire world flooded, you would no longer have a reference point for anything. You would no longer be able to locate where anything was without using an advanced method. You would be completely lost even if you are feet from where your home and would have no way to relate directions to anyone else. Thank you, I'll be here all week.
