Greetings everyone,
I have been considering the idea of a video game that would promote spirituality. This, along with the existing advertisement from Outreach, could lead many young people to the JoS.
Personally, I have neither the skills required for game development, nor the time to learn them. This is why I am reaching out to everyone in this community, as I have noticed the potential in artists and programmers. Currently, I believe an RPG-type game would fit our purpose best. The game can have two types of gameplay; the first being the exploration of the world around you in a 2D environment with puzzles, and the second being a 2D fighting simulator, where the player goes up against aliens and other malefic entities.
The creation of such a game, however, raises a lot of questions. Who will be the official owner of the game? I suggest an undercover company name would be best, as "Joy of Satan Ministries" would frankly push a lot of people away. Another issue is the art and the coding itself. How will we credit people with Satanic usernames? We have to attribute credit in some way, without exposing our personal identities, or our online identities as Satanists. A third issue would be advertisement, as we would have to further split the efforts of Outreach, and success can not be guaranteed. This leads to my final concern, which is whether this is even worth it.
In conclusion, the idea of a video game to promote spirituality, even leading people to the JoS in a subtle way, is something that would require us to settle on a variety of issues, and take a big risk. It would, however, be a great way to bring the community together and combine our skills for a product aimed for Outreach. I would like to hear your opinions on this.
