The Tornado Twins Hope to Turn the Bible into a Video Game
Two twin brothers Ruben and Efraim Meulenberg have taken to task to make the Bible fun again by turning the stories of Scripture into a video game. The Meulenberg brothers, also known as the Tornado Twins, are both media artists and programmers. Together they have launched a Kickstarter campaign to create The Game Bible Series. Ultimately the series will allow gamers to play their way through the entire Bible.
However, the brothers are currently focusing on the first game of the series titled "David: Rise of a King." Efriam Meulenberg described the first goal, saying, "They are looking desperately for a game that ... does not have over-the-top blood and gore but still has enough tension for their boys to like it." Rueben Meulenberg said of the second goal: "They want a game that is true to the Bible but still has high entertainment value but doesn't take away or add to the stories."
Other goals include creating a game that every member of the family can enjoy and creating an instant pause feature so players can break for dinner or homework. The most import goal, however, seems to be the game's production value. Potential players, Rueben Meulenberg said, "are quick to warn us they don't want a cheesy Christian media production. They want the highest industry standards."
So far, the Tornado Twins have raised $25,522 of their $35,000 goal. The $35,000 will help them create the first three episodes of "David: Rise of a King" by December. Ultimately the brothers would like donors to fund the project by "1100 percent" so that they have the $380,000 they need to create all 10 episodes of the "David: Rise of a King" game. The brothers have only 30 more days to reach their goals. Learn more about the game at thegamebible.com
