<A href="http://www.rpgdot.com/">RPGDot</a> has posted an <A href="http://www.rpgdot.com/index.php?hsaction=10053&ID=471">interview</a> with <a href="http://www.evillusion.com/">Evillusion</a> developer, <b>Oliver Jasmin</b> about their Biblical based CRPG, <a href="http://www.evillusion.com/eonoftears/eonoftearsAnglais.html">Eon of Tears</a>. Here's a bit about the use of the Bible in it:
<br>
<br>
<blockquote><b>RPGDot: The bible as part of a game. Aren't you afraid people will see it as a mockery of the bible?
<br>
<br>
Olivier Jasmin:</b> At first, the idea can be seen as if we wanted to make fun of the Bible. By no means we are trying to offend people. We just want to make the best game possible. We try to come up with something fun, entertaining and addictive for players. You'd be surprised to see how well we illustrate various interpretations that many consider only to be a better understandings of the Bible's texts real meaning.
<br>
<br>
We are more concerned about being labeled as moralistic and promoters of religious values than offending people. This game is not meant to promote any ideologies. Yes, people will learn something about Christian History but this is not the meaning of the game. As a matter of fact, people from any religion beliefs and background will enjoy the game .
<br>
<br>
We are aware that this game will provoke some negative reactions, but we won't be the first company to do so. After all, this subject was covered several times in movies or music, why not games. As long as gamers buy the idea and become avid fans that's all that matters.</blockquote>
<br>
<br>
I'm actually fairly interested to see how this one turns out. It's going to be a tightrope walk for them, I'm sure.
