So I've been thinking about my own ideas for games that are faith-based but not overly cheesy. I was thinking heavily on the matter one day writing down some storylines, and I believe that GOD told me that games need to be captivating as well as carry a message. With next-gen systems out there and the great games we already love to play how can we as believers come together to create a totally SICK!!!! Game, that in the end expresses the love of GOD and his call to repentance for all mankind, that doesn't get the critics throwing soda at us for creating another 'bible-star throwing' game? Let me know what's on your minds!!!

And people really don't want to be preached at no matter what. The lady that runs the ODDWORLD game company is very anti-consumerism. In an interview she said that if you get up on a soap-box, people will walk away. So she made the message in the Oddworld games more potent by using satire and irony. I think it worked pretty well, and its something Christian game makers could try.

I had this idea of an RPG game, where its some how mixes hack and slash with turn based. No, not like super mario RPGS, but something in between final fantasy and Kingdom hearts. How its christian related is how much you believe in your self and its sort of towards when revelation happens (because thats where faith is really tested). With the technology of brain power (like star wars and controling people with the brain), how about using that in the RPG. Mainly for the power bar, if it feels your blood pressure is running low as in your not believing in yourself, you heal alot slower or your power is less, and vice versa for excitement and well concentrated. Theres also an option where a person can pray if she is in need, and its a random chance if God answers your prayer (because we can't know all of God's actions.), and its also random what he does (because we know that God works his miracles differently then he thinks).  Also, the person can pray before battle (part of praying before we eat thing). Its kind of based on a story I wrote too, but thats a little secret Im not letting out, but even so, I can bring forth those characters too since its based on that story.

The 'Spirituality in Comics' Panel from San Diego Comic-Con 2011

In comics, movies, and even Broadway musicals like “The Book Of Mormon”, spiritual themed work seems to be unexpectedly coming from the least religious of sources.

Panelists including SERGIO CARIELLO (The Action Bible), RUSSELL DALTON (Marvelous Myths: Marvel Superheroes and Everyday Faith), BUZZ DIXON (Serenity/Hits & Misses), and MIKE SHIELDS (Blue Blazes) discuss how a new generation of comics and pop culture are exploring timeless truths and also address the question “Is Mass Media Our New Church?”
