Um.. so why exactly should this thread be closed? Seemes to me some guys should be warned for hijacking this thread. Seriously guys if you have a problem with christianity take to the neverending rant in Morbius. There are many posts for slasher/horror, shooters, porno (even though we are all about "world peace and Love" here) and other games, they don't get closed so this one shouldn't either. dcworks if God has given you a vision then you are obligated to try do things right. Try to get investers and pay your workers, set up a really tight game design. If you are going to work for the big guy you better work your butt off!

I agree that they have hijacked it, but I am not angry, Jesus did say to turn the other cheek. Right? Right. If they close it they close it, there is no need to to get angry. If it is "God's game" then it will happen in its time... I would even help at it if you catch me at the right time, but I'd help anybody on their game, not just Christians. Good luck with your game...brother dcworks

Just didn't seem fair for someone to try to close a thread just because they have issues. dcworks good luck with the game!

dear Dcworks I can understand you passion to make a game. But I would higly encourage you to consider what I have to say. I am a christian myself, and I have made a few projects that have had a christian theme to them. First when it comes to business, christianity or God is no guarantee for business success, in fact I see christianity and business extreemly far from each other. Our "christian themed" games have not had any great success, mainly because the "christian" gaming scene is small.
Secondly, when someone claims "God told me", I have by the years learned to activate my skeptic code (my.skeptic =on;) at that point. The reason is the more that some people claim that, the more often they go astray. I domnīt want to offend you in any way, itīs just my experience.
Thirdly, I do not personally like such a strong division, WE CHRISTIANS and those others. We are all equal in front of God.
Fourth: Christianity says to us: "do to others what you want them to do to you." If you want people to help you, then help them, do not ask for only "true" christians to help you. How would you feel if you asked for help and someone "not" christian said: well I help only none christians?
We are here to make games, that thing unites us, then it is up for anyone to make a game content of their own wish. I co-operate with any person regardless of religion or political beliefs when i make games!
I stronly recomend you to reflect the views and attitude you have. If you do, i think you will be wellcomed by many developers to co-operate and help each othere here.

We are all equal in front of God. From the perspective of logic quite obviously not, as we are really not all that equal in a literal sense to begin with... I'm not discriminating here, forget about all that. I see christianity and business extreemly far from each other. Uhm.... TV evangelists making millions, churches 'asking' for money all the time. Some of the richest people of this world are religious leaders. And then I haven't even begun talking about Scientology and other a lot of the other more modern alternatives to Christianity. Lol, or the Christian merchandise that's available, Cheers

that makes no sense. People who live in rural areas are all racist, and i base this off of the amount of people in the southern states in america. That means that no matter what, if your in a rural area your racist. Get the point?

dcworks, I'm a Christian and I think I am well known in the Christian Game Development community. Even though the Lord may be leading you to do this there is no guarantee of money. "The Lord has just told me" in my opinion lacks fruit, if the Lord is speaking to you then you need to be open that you can get things wrong. If you automatically put yourself in a position where you're 100% right you lose respect from the people you are speaking to, and elect yourself above them. If the vision the Lord has given you is of truth then fruit of your words will follow (at the moment I see lacking), and the vision will be seen and acknowledged by others. You'll find that coming on forums like this and sharing your faith the way you have is very ineffective, I think it's quite imposing. ^smart guy
