It sounds like you are still either misreading what I've been trying to communicate or you are misinterpreting my intentions. You might
....
the past that I advertised here, where the games had a story that was completely religious. =P Those games I canceled.
Don't worry I read and understood you from the start, and no I was not aware of your other games as I joined recently. I knew you from the GMC, but was not aware of those games.
The point I was trying to make, was referring to general examples and not your game or yourself, since religion was mentioned, I thought I would add my 2 cents.
Content in games and movies can be subjective. Some people can find religious elements in places that were not meant to be or that have none.
To me, a game would be just a game, to some the game would be interpreted differently. To each their own.
If I were to make a game or movie where I would feel it would be of sensitive nature, I would place the respective warnings, and from there, it's up to people to decide. Having worked such industries, behind the scenes, I know for a FACT that people will always break your film or game to pieces and interpret things their way etc. Having worked with public before I know that and so be it. If I were to make a game of a blue square chasing a red square, just an innocent game, and made it available to the masses, I am sure that I would get bashed along the way and that some people would be offended and associate the colors of the squares to gangs or religion or the harming of squares ! LOL.
throne inside a dark cave at a first glance looks like a depiction of a chamber in hell, which hell is religious shit, not at all what this game is after.
Hell is open to several interpretations. Some think of it as a physical place, some think of it as a state of mind / state of being.
With all the shit happening in today's world, I do think hell does fucking exist and it's on earth
Or hell could be under the crust of earth, we are just at the surface above.
That is an example of individual interpretations.
Keep in mind religion is man made, and "HELL" is not a religion actually, and not limited to one specific religion.
BTW, you would be surprised at some of the shit I have seen in my days (horror films) and all the violence / movies / games I played/watched, and I turned out ok. It's all about the mind and when people can make a difference between fiction and real world.
About your past horror games which I was not aware of, did people complain or were offended ? Now you almost want me to try those games to see for myself
I am sure if you were to make a game with pink flamingos someone out there would be offended. That's what happens when you deal with the general public, you will always have negatives no matter what.
=P I already explained in depth this is far from anything to do with a damn religion. If it was too much to read, I can't blame you. =)
Read it fully understood, again. Can't wait to play your game and give my honest opinion
demo gameplay duration?
The demo will be very short compared to the full version. 45 minutes to beat it if you suck at the puzzles worst case scenerio.
LOL ! That would be me, but I've gotten so much better. but still, I don't recall an adventure game that I could finish on my own, maybe because back then I was not as patient and got frustrated quite easily with some puzzles and being stuck
full version gameplay duration?
The full vsrsion gameplay should take a bare minimum of 5 hours to complete, due to
difficulty level and the actually duration and
5 hours minimum, that sounds good by today's standard
full version estimated release date?
The full version should take a year starting now to complete if I'm lucky, but it will more likely take nearly 2-3 years,
Wow, that's about par with an actual commercial game dev time, and that is with a whole working team ! For your type of game if you worked full time on it you'd probably manage to get it done much sooner, but realistically if this is done on your spare time as a hobby, could probably take longer.
In any case good luck and hope it works out great.
