My 20 year journey to make a video game about the Bible
youtube.comNot an easy subject to make art from. Others have, see Krzysztof Kieślowski's extraordinary series Dekalog about the 10 commandments:

Speaking as an atheist who knows the Bible well from a non-atheist youth, it's true there are some profound and important stories to be found in those books. It would be nice if this game project were to approach them as the stories they are (many are about awful human failures) and not proselytize. There isn't enough knowledge of the good people and their brave deeds in its pages (Ruth, Esther, Abigail..) and some of the crazy stories (talking donkeys, giant humans, the Nephilim..)
The guy who was making a computer operating system about the Bible, it would have been nice to see what that would have looked like, had he conquered his demons and worked on it for 20 years.
Haha, I had the same association reading the title. I wonder what Terry would have built with more time and a better mental state too.
Maybe there is a universe where we are listening to the Holy Random Number Generator together with him.
I was hoping for a sword and sandal RPG. But fascinating no less.
