Kickstart David

This will be short, I was talking to my mom today after church about my last blog post, and how great some of the kickstarter stuff is. I love the games, the tech, and a great many other things that I would back in a heartbeat if I had the money to do so. While we were talking, I mentioned that there are a rather high number of Christian based games but they always seem to be rather lame, or overly simplistic and worse, simply not entertaining.

Like many nights, I decided to browse Kickstarter for anything interesting. And I found a game. Simple titled The Bible Videogame: David, it is a game about the major life of David from meeting Samuel to killing Goliath and his running from King Saul. The little of the game play showed a nice looking side scrolling 3D game. It looked fun, and it is being made by people who also understand that we do need a good game based on the Bible. A game that just might be able to reach a few people where typical sharing wont reach.

I really do believe this game is worth backing and I will be doing so, even though I might be short on cash for a few days. The Kickstarter ends on November 1st. This gives you plenty of time back it, let your friends know, and spread the word around that we might be able to get the game made. I normally do not talk about these like this, but how things worked out, lined up, I really feel this game should be made.

The goal is only 35,000 which they are already close to being made, so we will get 3 stories about David, up to his fight with Goliath. But if they can manage to raise 385,000 which might sound like a lot, but really is a very small amount for a high quality game, they will be able to bring all of David's story. Most big games, and even the smaller crappy ones, tend to be 10 million to as high as 40 million with an average of 18-28 million. So this 385,000 is very low but can be really good for thousands of kids out there. They have an ultimate goal of making a game out of the whole Bible, but for now will stick with David. It is meant to be true to the bible, not adding or changing the stories but making them an exciting game of the stories.

They have industry veterans, and the two leads are twins who have worked on Lego games, Star Wars, Assassin Creed. So pray about this. See what God says to you about backing this game, sharing it with friends, and let's see how big we can grow this. Thanks for taking a look and I really hope you will join me in backing this.
