dont label me a heathen just yet, but....

it seems like the "christian game industry" or whatever there is of it, is looking at things the wrong way...
now, i am only in 10th gr. and so you may or may not care what i have to sya.
n e way, i think instead of focusing on making games with "christian content" or trying to squeeze such content into normal games like racing and puzzle games, the focus should be on creating moral games...
Im sure this has been brought up alot in this site's history, but i think its worth bringing up agian.

games that give the player free choice and are based on morality ( or choice to be moral) have been successful in the past. The KOTOR games are a prime example of this. it just seems like a more productive approach.

In my opinion, trying to introduce games that are directly conected with christianity probably wont be succesful.

And for those of you who will point at passion of the Christ as an example of directly christian media being succesful, i have an opinion for that too.

Now, chances are, somebody far wiser than I will post immediately after me, discrediting every aspect of what i say, in a very polite but informative manner. either way, this is my opinion.

Yeah I think that there can be both types of games. Some can be boldly Christian and Bible themed games and others can be more based around morality and choice.

It's good that everyone is not called to the same task. We all have our part.

I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.
