Be proud as we are are of your work! Denzel didn’t win an Oscar till Training Day, we the fans know just how awesome your work is. For encouragement, Roman’s 8:29-30 Be blessed Andrew 😁

[@playdeliverance]

True that! We have a lot of foundation to build. It's just one more failure on our road to success 😉

[@saiyanroyalty229]

Congratulations on all the success. Would it be cool to have a scenario pack that feels like a New Game + where we take our Campaign Angels on different Missions

[@saiyanroyalty229]

I see the book for the Chosen behind you it's a great read so far

[@l87deathtron]

Read your interview, Very cool beginning you've had. I do have a Christian rapper for ya to check out Marcus Rogers has some bangers. Also couple books series that go great with your game. Fire series by Eric M Hill. And Frank E Perertti Present Darkness. Both fit with your game well

You always regret not having gone all-in. Not winning is a different regret. If you had adopted the laissez-faire attitude, the regret would be much tougher. Like you said also, your game is so niche that I would have been surprised if you won coop or solo. There are so many games indeed from big publishers. It is your first game and you are a small publisher. Your results punch way higher than they should. Love you game. My gaming buddies think the same way. The quality is evident. - Timothée (Jacques Lewis)

Praise God that you are going in with a positive budget. I am thankful that the Lord honored your courage in going into debt the first time to get the game out. It also talks of your warranted trust in the quality of what you had made. Godly men take risks while trusting the Lord. By God’s grace, he wrote the world so that it eventually works out.
