Christian game studio founded
Group of pious developers are hoping religious gamers will cry "Hallelujah!" at their planned line of nonoffensive games.
A development studio has come together with a focus on making games for a Christian audience. In a press release sent out today, the new studio, called Digital Praise, outlined their plans and made several comments about the potential for development in the Christian games market.
President and CEO Tom Bean has assembled a team of veterans from the education sector of the industry. The team's collective resume includes such elementary school classics as Carmen Sandiego, Reader Rabbit, and Oregon Trail. Digital Praise has already acquired the license and started development on two games based on the Adventures in Odyssey radio theater series.
The company is also optimistic about the market for Christian games, citing the large overall growth in the games industry as evidence that there is plenty of room for their products.
"Digital Praise is founded on the principle that fun, exciting computer games don't need to be flooded with violence, sex, hate or images of horror," said Bean.
