The Encounter [Spiritual] [ALL PLATFORMS]

[Godline]

Yes, I've finally made a non-Android version. It was a long time coming but finally I can lay this to rest. Thanks everyone for the support!

Ever wanted to have an interactive conversation with Jesus? Now you can!

This is a visual novel where you can ask Jesus a myriad of questions, get Jesus to tell you stories or tell Jesus where to get off. It's entirely up to you!

No matter what your beliefs about Jesus, you can decide what to say and what to do and take a number of paths to find out how the encounter has affected you.

Thanks for posting this game! I could really feel your testimony and faith in Jesus as I played it.

I loved the art of scenes from the Bible, and how you took most of Jesus' responses straight from the Bible text. Even though we come from different Christian denominations, that made the game more universally applicable for all Christians (or those interested in Christianity).

A few things that distracted me while playing:
- Jesus' sprite has a white outline around it - was that on purpose? I think it would look better without that outline.
- The choice buttons showed up on the left on my Nexus 7 tablet - it still worked fine, but I'm used to them being in the center.
- While most of the game is written in the first person ("I" and "me"), at the very end you switch to the second person ("You decide to..."). This was a little confusing; it's better to stick with the same POV throughout.
- The title screen font and font effects are kind of weird... why is there an accent over the e? Is it supposed to be the French word for tea?

Other than those minor distractions I enjoyed it, so thank you again for sharing your faith in this format!

That is an interesting idea for a game, indeed. Will have to try it out later on my tablet ~

Thanks so much qiren!
All your suggestions were so helpful!

After a lot of procrastinating I finally fixed this game and put up a Windows/Mac/Linux version for people to download!

Thank you again!!!

Glad I could help! I checked out the Linux version to see what changes you made.
- I like the new main menu screen, though there is a lot of movement. The scrolling pink banner makes it so you can't see what's going on behind it.
- I think the font might be a little too big - when I picked "ask Him about some personal concerns of yours" the options went off the screen (and on a few other menus, too).
- The bold Greek-style font for the character's names is a little hard to read. I like the font, it has a lot of character, but maybe you could make it less bold?
- I'm glad you changed the ending from "you" to "I", but there's one spot that I think you missed - "It was like your own personal word from God" instead of "my own personal word"
- The "About Jesus" section was an interesting addition
- It might be cool to have an image gallery with scriptural references for the pictures - they could even link to the Bible online where people could read that part of the scriptures.

I like your changes, and look forward to your other game, too.

I just played this game and I must say you handled it very well =). It's nice to have some historic games on here. Thanks again

Cool, thanks for that. Looks like some pretty easy fixes.

And thanks pocoscon
