Bard's Tale Creator Shares Christian Faith Through Game Design

By -



As I've been looking forward to reviewing The Bard's Tale IV on PS4 next month, I went down a rabbit hole getting to know the series' origins. Little did I know that the original creator of the franchise is a Christian, highly educated in both theology and philosophy!
Although the observant gamer could find the influence of his faith in the early entries of the series, he shares its influence more explicitly in this talk he gave last year at the Game Developer's Conference, while also demonstrating how a Christian worldview makes sense of ALL good video game and entertainment design!
Comments relevant to his faith and game design begin at 41:35. Enjoy!
