Do these folks have it backward? Though I see nothing wrong in making a game geared to Christians as the target audiance, perhaps they are working this from the wrong angle. There objective seems to be a games espousing Christian values and perhaps based on scripture. Perhaps their efforts would be better spent making games that Christians can play. The difference is just like difference between making music just for Christians or making music that is Christian friendly. Of course this implies that there are no games Christians can play currently. This is obviously not true. We merely have to look to the numerous console games that are successes that aren't focused on sex, violence, hate or horror. One only has to look at the huge number of sports games out today. Follow those up by the number of games with heros who's major skills are running and jumping.
Maybe these folks should just go work for companies already making those types of games?
That's what I heard in his voice. I wasn't a user so I'm not going to say I understand the frustration of the bloggers but I'm just not seeing the need to attack this guy or his efforts.

Let us give him the benefit of the doubt and wish him well.
But please take a moment to read his post above. He makes it clear that this is the case on this case.:)
I'd be hard pressed to make it look that good.

Though it is obvious that you put a lot of work into the case mod, and now you've made it obvious why, many of us just can't appreciate it. I'm not a big 'Alien' movie fan, but the artwork is killer.
Perhaps this whole posting to/. would have been better directed to part of a thread on tech head responses and reactions to 9/11. Then your work would be presented in a more respected light.
