In some ways I feel churlish about possibly opening up the work of one person to mockery. It seems like a one person studio who is doing a lot of work in trying to bring a MMO to life. Also, he appears to be using the Torque engine. But then I read "Christian Young Adult Fantasy" and see the following screenshot and, well, it needs to shown.  If he pulls it off: great. Well done to him. But I don't like the odds. EDIT: Sites - Game Website: www.foundationsofhope.comCompany Website: www.lethalgamescorporation.com |

This website is seriously getting on my nerves. It bum rushes my ears the moment I opened it and I can't change the font size. Now their FAQ link doesn't work, though at least their Info link works. The most annoying thing was that you left me with the wrong impression before I went in. I was thinking someone would try making something original like an MMO world where the garden of eve is in existence or angels have yet turned into demons or something as a kickass as the Word and Void series (modern world meets biblical fantasy). Instead I get another Fantasy world and one that doesn't look like a refreshing take on that premise like Chronicles of Spellborn. Seriously this mismatch in expectations reminded me of this. |
OP is assuming its somewhat of a design-goal of eve to make players happy.
this is however not the case.

I hope he makes it just because I like to see one guy in a garage get a game off the ground. Not interested in playing though. (Why does anything made with the Torque engine look like ass?  ) |

This, I suspect, is rich vein of mockery waiting for the razor.
On the other hand, it's interesting to see the blind tendrils of religion groping around our seedy end of the internet. Coming soon: Choir Boyz Online - the most popular MMORPG for clergy with urge-y...
Now, where''d I put that axe?

Dude's name is Leathel Grody. How is that for a seriously badass pen name?
As for the game, I didn't realize lizard people were in the Bible, but I'm cool with that.

If you read the site, its his MMO that he is developing based off his own Christian Young Adult Fantasy book series.
The 2D MMO Maker seemed interesting, if limited by the 2D and now on hold while he does FoHO.

Is that a scuba-diving priest with a cape? Is he under water or above water? Why is he in a pose suggesting to me that he's riding a motorcycle? I don't get it! What's going on?!

My brain just asploded from all the shit wrong with this.
I wonder what kind of foozles God will have you collecting 10 of.
Lizard people? Ummm. I wonder who they begat? Or who begat them?
The raids are going to be awesome. Bosses like "The Fornicator" or "The Blasphemer". Because hey, we already killed Diablo.
Scuba diving for Christ... Jesus.

I was talking to a friend of mine about this game, and I think he summed up everything that is fail about this project: I think this person's aim is to make a game that's not appealing to fundies and gamers alike. |

I wonder what kind of foozles God will have you collecting 10 of. 2 of everything. It's an ongoing quest with lots of dings. Whoever wins gets to live on a boat and everyone else's characters gets deleted. Lizard people? Ummm. I wonder who they begat? Or who begat them? Manifestations of the 7 sins, obviously. The raids are going to be awesome. Bosses like "The Fornicator" or "The Blasphemer". Because hey, we already killed Diablo. The raids will actually be missions where you attempt to "re-educate" entire towns on the east and west coasts of modern America. Scuba diving for Christ... Jesus. That's actually a mission from the Vatican, they're sending you to find the Ark of the Covenant. Much like Jedi, they'll be added in a stealth patch. |

A Vatican MMO would k lick ass, then spend years and hundreds of thousands of dollars denying it ever happened, only to be forced into a public apology and millions of dollars in compensation by the courts. FIFY. For what it's worth, I'm very tired. |

Being a Catholic, I should probably be supportive of this game (unless this dude's a fundie? I can't be arsed to read the web site), but I'll probably go with the mockery angle on this one anyway.
Lethal Games doesn't strike me as a very likely name for the "publisher" of a Christian MMOG. And if the design of the website is annoying, that doesn't give a lot of HOPE (lolz) for the design of the game.
I do sort of hope the priest with scuba gear (Holy Diver? geez this is a gold mine) is not actually underwater, but indeed riding a motorcycle. That would make it entertaining in a Crispin Glover sort of way.

Christian music doesn't have to suck. It just tends to suck because making good music isn't the primary goal. I would think the same issue would apply here.

He might get the snake-handler niche group with the snake-ish people, however. |

Dude, no ripping on mortification. One of the few good Christian bands ever. They were from Australian, had 2 guitarists, 1 left handed. They'd do these dueling solos that look pretty awesome... cause, you know... dude was left handed and it was like this mirror thing... whatever.
Anyways, they had the guts to show up at metal-mania back in the 90's. All 20 bands before them and 20 bands after them hand pentagrams and were spitting blood, etc... and up comes this dude that says "I'm an ordained christian minister, and this is my deathmetal band, mortification." It was pretty awesome to see live.
