GOD BLESS YOU!
Yes it's true! We are creating a Christian MMORPG set in the 2nd century Holy Land! Visions is a 1st person 3D graphics game with a quest based and skill based gameplay in a persistent world. Players will be able to choose what role they wish to fill in society through a rich quest based Professions system. Those who wish to persue a life of adventure seeking danger around every corner may choose to learn the skills of a soldier, mercenary or a hunter. While others who prefer a more relaxing gameplay experience can choose a somewhat more sedentary profession such as Pottery, Mining, or Baking. Still others might wish to excercise their creativity as an entertainer, and learn dance, music, or sports. There will be non-profession quests involving the Ancient Roman history of the time period and region. A great amount of research is being invested into the game to create an immersive history experience that is as accurate as possible within the limitations of our technology. And for those who wish to persue spiritual enlightenment and experience Visions as a Christian game there are Scripture quests based on the King James Version of the Bible as originally planned as the foundation of the game. From these quests we derive the name of the game as well, as players will be able to travel backwards in the time of Biblical history through visions and dreams. We have some surprises in store for the players, some unique ideas we wish to incorporate, and a few things planned for the future which may be somewhat unexpected experiences. We do plan to implement player housing, avatar customization, various mounts, a variety of clothing choices, and vast expanses of terrain to explore to appease even the most diligent wanderer. We hope to see you there!

Help us make the dream come true! We have volunteers in every branch of the development team, but we continue to accept applications for dedicated individuals. Please see the Volunteers Needed page for more details. We especially need Recruiters, C++ Programmers, Torque Scripters, MySQL Database programmers (both front end and integration), 3D artists, and Animators. If you or someone you know is interested in gaining some resume experience and has a few hours every week to work on the project, please email me. We are happy to announce that we are using the Torque Shader Engine to develop the game client which has boosted our development progress tremendously. Please register on the messageboards to keep up to date on these developments.
