– “The timing was just crazy,” says Mette. – A couple of weeks ago, we were at the NRB convention in Orlando, Florida,<\/span><\/a> to talk about the work we do and make new contacts. The game attracted a lot of attention. While we were there, we received a message from home that a deal we had been working on for a long time had finally been closed. We were invited to speak on the 700 Club Interactive program on CBN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBN is a Christian TV channel and the 700 Club Interactive program has one million viewers daily<\/span><\/a>. The time available was Tuesday, June 6 at 10:00 a.m. local time, exactly the same time as the Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign was launched<\/span><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

– We feel that God is involved and pulling the strings,” Mette continues. – There is a need for a game where young people can connect with the Christian message on a personal level in a completely new and contemporary format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Program host Ashley Key was impressed with the visuals of the game. She commented that this will make an impact on the next generation of Christians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
