Let There Be Light

About Me
I am a senior at Illinois State University. When I am not busy with school work, I am either working on this game, or I am at the St. John Paul II Catholic Newman Center on campus. The Newman Center has given me so many gifts and graces and it has really helped me to grow both as a catholic and as a man. It has also given me a strong sense of calling. As a catholic, I feel that it is my duty to bring my faith into the world. Something this beautiful should not be kept to myself. Due to my background in technology and gaming, I feel that I can best share that beauty through video games. Video games have a very unique way of making a story feel really personal, but to my knowledge, the medium has never attempted to tell a story that focuses on one's faith. With my game, "Let There Be Light," I will do my best to bring God to a place where he seems to be forgotten. 

Let There Be Light
"Let There Be Light" is a game where the player must get through life while being hounded by many demons. Throughout the game, the player will find Saint Pages and Saint Cards. These items will have have a description of a particular saint, and a prayer associated with the saint. The player can ask for the saint's intercession (or equip the card or page) to gain a new attack, or a boost to the player's stats. There will be two paths. A saintly path, and an immoral path. Each path will lead to a different ending. The player will come across extraordinarily tough demons on his quest. To remain on the heavenly path, the player must overcome this foe. However, there is an option to skip past the demon, but doing so will lead you to the immoral path. Not all hope is lost though. If the player finds a confessional, he may be returned to the heavenly path.  

What Are The Funds For
The funds raised will go towards the creation of assets such as character sprites, animations, and music. The main purpose of this fund raiser is to ensure a faster production of the game.

Conclusion
Lastly, I want to make it clear that any donation I receive will be accepted with extreme gratitude. I understand that this money was earned by the work of the donator. Knowing this, I will make sure not to waste a single dollar. Every free moment I have will be put into the production of this game. 

Thank You,
