Devlog #38: Open World

Hello everyone!

It’s been a while since our last update, but we’re back in full force, more committed than ever to advancing the development of I Am Jesus Christ!

The break was due to a restructuring of our team earlier this year, which we believe has ultimately benefited the project. We've learned lessons from the years of work by the previous team and, most importantly, from your feedback on the Prologue. Having that in mind, we’re directing our focus towards the most anticipated areas of improvement for I Am Jesus Christ. First up, we’re excited to introduce the game’s biggest design change:

[h2]Open World Exploration[/h2]

Until now, the Prologue’s events unfolded within limited spaces, constrained by both natural elements and invisible boundaries. To deepen the immersion and provide a sense of the environment in Jesus’ time, we’ve decided to open up the world. You will now be able to explore the regions of Galilee, Samaria, and Judea—covering nearly the entire journey of Christ’s ministry.

[h3]Nazareth and Surroundings[/h3]
Experience the town where Jesus lived with His family, where He learned His craft, connected with the people, and, after certain events, narrowly escaped being executed.


[h3]The Sea of Galilee[/h3]
Visit numerous historical locations along the shore and witness the miracles of Christ from a first-person perspective, reliving these incredible events up close.


[h3]The Judean Desert[/h3]
Encounter the rugged wilderness of Samaria and feel the vastness of the open landscape. Endure the 40-day fast and discover the banks of the Jordan River, where you’ll experience Christ’s baptism by John the Baptist.


[h3]The City of Jerusalem[/h3]
Immerse yourself in the bustling life of the largest historical city in the region. Explore its narrow streets in the heart of the city and see the most iconic locations around its ancient walls.


[h3]Other Well-Known Biblical Sites[/h3]
Take a journey to the other famous locations recreated from historical maps, engravings, and records, such as Mount Tabor, Cana, Nain, Sychar, and Bethany.


Stay tuned here on Steam for more updates as we reveal further details about the project in the coming weeks. We can’t wait to share what’s next with you!
