New Game Project: The Missionary Journeys of Paul PC/MAC Role Playing Games (RPG) is Currently In Development
As announced at the Christian Game Developers Conference (CGDC 2014) in Portland Oregon, BibleByte Books & Games is working on a new Computer Based Role Playing Games (RPG) based on the Missionary Journeys of Paul. This RPG Game will actually be an PC/MAC Based Adventure Game and will not be a game programming tutorial. We expect it will take many years to develop as it is quite large in its scope and a very small team is working on it in their spare time.
The game is tentatively called The Missionary Journeys of Paul. You can track the development of this game project here.
New Project: Point & Click 3D Exodus Adventure Game In Development
Back in 2012, BibleByte Books & Game started to re-imagining our original Exodus Adventure game as a new 3D Point & Click Puzzle Bible Adventure Game. We needed a new 3D Game Engine to develop the newly re-imagined Exodus Adventure game so we switched our standard game development environment from Microsoft Visual C# 2012 to Unity 3D C# Version 4.
