Question by war1776: What do you think about these Christian game ideas?
I am a “game art and design student”. I am also a Christian. within the next few years, I am hoping to have my own Christian gaming company. Tell me what you think of these game ideas.
All games will be Next Gen
-Title: “Serve and Protect”
-Features: 3rd Person Shooter This game would be set up like GTA. However, instead of being a criminal, you are a hardcore cop. You start out walking the beat, then move on to other law inforcement careers such as SWAT and CSI.
-Title: Spirit of ’76
-Features: FPS. Showing how this Great Nation was started. It could have historically accurate battle sequences driven by intense storyline about a minute man/regular soldier in the Continental army.
As you can see, these are not “Christianity Based games”, they are simply alternative games for more strict families.
I have more ideas, but would like your opinion about these first.

In a Christian pretense, “Serve and Protect” would only inspire more violence as I am sure most players would just want to beat or murder the criminals. Although if they are not “Christian based games, I could see parents observing the change in the violence being for better possibly. Unless it makes children have a vigilante opinion on Law enforcement. “Spirit of ’76” Could work if you show that also, That the war was fought for a reason, instead of just the violence. Also the drama that would be implied within the plot of the war, could bring gamers to a different perspective of the war.

Well the cop idea isn’t bad, but there have been a few games like it already. (True Crime series)
I honestly would like a game about the Revolution. The only problem is it wouldn’t work as a combat game. I’m thinking it would be much more like Myst..which of course is boring.
Just whatever you do don’t make anything like Left Behind: Eternal Forces. It might be a “Christian game” but as a warrior at the end of days the game rewards you points for killing Muslims and homosexuals. As a Christian and gamer I am deeply offended by this, and do not think it paints a very pretty picture of Christians as a whole.
I’m sure you may have heard of or even played these titles before, but if not you need to check out Bible Adventures for the NES and Super Noah’s Ark 3D for the SNES. They were illegally manufactured games made by a small Christian developer that figured out how to get past Nintendo’s lock out chips. Neither of them are very good, but it’s fun to play them simply for enjoying how bad they are.
