[[ About the Game ]]
The Armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18) is scripture I heard for the first time in 2019 and ever since then I've wanted to make a video game about it. A few years later in February of 2021 I would get that chance. Over the course of 7 days I created 'The Armor of God', a free to play game made for a competition known as a 'Game Jam'. While the game is far from perfect, it still manages to be one of my favorite projects to date. Join me in this video as I overcome my fears, create my first turn-based RPG, overcome my fears, and continue my ‘12 games, 12 months, 1 story’ challenge.

[[The Scripture That Inspired Me To Make This Game]]
“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the full Armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God, praying at all times in the spirit, with all prayer and supplication …”
Ephesians 6:10-18a, ESV
[[ About Me ]]
Hello! My name is Ian. I am a hobbiest game developer who uses the game engine Defold. I have made over 30 projects ranging in scope from a few hours to many months. Often times I work with my friends since I am a very lackluster artist, musician, and speller. This channel is geared towards game development logs (Dev-Logs) where I detail my process of building games.

Hey brother. Thanks for the shoutout and for the work you are doing for the kingdom. Keep at it! We need more good games to play and grow. 😊

[@BunchOfNerdsMakingGames]

Of course, happy to shout you out! Still amazes me how similar our Armor of God games are!
I have some ideas for more explicitly faith-based games but haven't started working on any of them yet.
Can't wait for your Hex Island game!

[@lordxopip8183]

ty for this one brother God bless you and your creativity which shows how God works in you to spread the Good news

[@BunchOfNerdsMakingGames]

Thanks! I really appreciate it! This is still one of my favorite games narratively and thematically. I have a ton of ideas for remaking it or turning it into a full game. Currently I have some other projects I'm working on but I do hope to revisit this in the future!

I couldn't tell when I clicked on this video if you were a believer or just someone who liked the theming, not that that would be inherently bad. Nice to see christian developers out there expressing their faith!
Edit: And a fellow Mike Winger enjoyer! NICE.
