WHY WE BUILT THE GAME
Our passion is to train up the next generation of game developers to build Christian games that families and friends can play together and learn more about the Bible.
HELP US TEST THE GAME
We are looking for players who are passionate about playing Bible Themed Games who will help us beta test and improve the game. We are a very small 2-person part-time indie studio, and we are using Steam Early Access to gather input from a much larger community of youth and young adults. We hope to gather more customer feedback to help make our Exodus Vigil 3D Puzzle Adventure Game more fun and bug free! We have been getting lots of feedback from a small team of students physically located in Washington State. We now would like to get direct customer feedback on how to make our game a lot more fun and more re-playable from a much larger audience.”
Based on the book, “Exodus: God of the Slaves” by Kris Murray:

What Others Are Saying About The Unity 3D C# Tutorial:
“The Exodus Adventure – Introduction to C# with Unity 3D is an excellent resource for aspiring programmers and game designers from middle-school to adult! The tutorials are very accessible (and humorous) and are enhanced by important screenshots and visuals of the Unity game engine in action. Furthermore, the material provided helps to prove the viability of fun Bible based games! I will be utilizing this for my Game Engines class this Fall and will also be adding it to my middle school daughter’s home curriculum. This is both a great primer for C# and a strong introduction to Unity and the principles of game development in general!” – Rich Tanner, Clinical Professor of Digital Entertainment Technology, Abilene Christian University, Abilene, TX
“The BibleByte Books team have created an excellent learning tool that was not previously available anywhere in the world until now. They have combined a Unity 3D learning game development environment along with the Bible as you create a game! As a Bible-based ministry that works with youth, we found the Exodus Adventure Unity 3D C# tutorial to be the perfect combination we were looking for! Each lesson is well thought out, challenging, but not too difficult. The visuals are really great as well. We are super excited to incorporate it into our regular youth training program! “– Ben Myers – Inner-City Movement, Upper Darby, PA

“My name is Scott Adams, and I was honored to write the Foreword to this incredible 3D game programming tutorial. I am one of the earliest founders of the home computer gaming industry. My experience with computer Adventure type games dates back to 1978 when I created the first commercially available adventure for home computers. Today’s game studios spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on artists and designers to create modern games. So how does one go about creating such a game on their own or learn the tools that the studios use? That is where this Unity 3D C# tutorial textbook comes in. It opens up the world of Unity 3D and provides all the game assets of art and scripting to create a real masterpiece of a game. As a nascent game creator you will be shown how to take full advantage of the Unity 3D system to build the game, then you will also have all the assets of that game to use in your own creations later. You are starting an incredible journey where you are going be learn the tools you need to make games. Once you have that foundation, you will be limited only by your own imagination! You have a great deal of fun waiting for you in the pages of this textbook. Happy Adventuring!” – Scott Adams, www.msadams.com, www.clopas.net
