    I have wanted to make a soulslike game that uses creationism lore for its world building for a while because it perfectly would fit the religious/biblical overtones I want, while also being 100% straight up fantasy with some pretty dope ideas for a fictional world.

    The only thing stopping me from even starting such a project is that it is one of the few ideas I have that absolutely requires a visual touch that I can’t provide, and store bought assets would not do what I have in my head justice at all. 😮‍💨

      No artist vision is ever perfectly realized, so go for it.

      And if you can’t find store bought assets that fit the theme try to come up with some yourself.

      You only truly fail if you never try.

      You should set up a Kickstarter, send it to all the SovCit and Flat Earth Facebook pages, saying that you’re going to create a realistic SIM of flat earth, and then release a fantasy game based on all of their ideas and watch the meltdown create the best press a game has ever received before launch.

      The book of Judges would make a great game. Like a bit where you capture foxes, attach torches to their tails, and have them run through enemy farmland burning it all down. Truly I say to you, Christian video games haven’t mined their own lore far enough.

        Just … That bit about chopping up a concubine will put it firmly in the 18+ rating. And the subsequent I’ll-turn-my-back-and-not-see poaching of young women might be a bit much for modern sensibilities.

        Still, a Riddles in the Dark crossover with

        Out of the eater came something to eat;
        Out of the strong came something sweet

        … No okay I can’t actually see how that would work, but I’m sure someone could!

        Also plunging a left-handed dagger into a fat king - that’s probably peak Lemmy cheesecake.

      The idea of a world that’s periodically being demolished and rebuilt, to satisfy the egos of tyrants, does seem to fit the ideology of a Flat Earther.

      Wait, you know how to code for a 3D game? I know game design! We would just need to find the artist at that point, and I can help with fundraising
