Hello everyone, It has been a while since we provided an update. The game’s core was completed and we did have some initial play tests. Yet you, the player, have spoken and now it is up to us to incorporate your feedback! To update those of you who did not have a chance to play yet, some players did not understand the mechanics as well as we hoped. They also showed us the need to add more rewarding visual feedback. Finally, the game is being rebalanced as it was initially too difficult some. We did run into some file size issues when submitting to the app store and are actively investigating options to overcome this hurdle. We are listening! Once all of the changes are made we will do our best to get the game on the app stores and into your hands. Please keep us in your prayers and send your prayer requests to us as you have them! Until the next update… Play Hard and Stay... read more

Warning, there are mature topics on this page that are not meant for younger audiences and that may be alarming to others! Reader discretion advised! There is an ideological war between Christians and the LBGTQ community that has been going on for years! On one side there are Christians who mistakenly see gays as the abominable people who commit the *exclusive* sin that got Sodom and Gomorrah hit with a Final Fantasy VII Super Nova attack. On the other side there are LBGT groups who mistakenly consider the Bible to be a document of “hate speech“ and Christians to be closed-minded, cattle-herded hypocrites that are programmed to be intolerant of anything different. But the drama doesn‘t stop there! This war even emerges in fast food! We have members of the gay community boycotting Chic-Fil-A and Christians boycotting Chipotlé for their involvement with their respective communities. We have Christians who do not want to sell cupcakes to buyers who are gay. We have LBGT couples seeking to persecute and destroy Christian business owners for declining to serve at an event they feel is a sinful environment (e.g. gay weddings). It is starting to get ridiculous on all sides! When it comes to this topic, to use today’s vernacular… ERR‘BODY NEED TO GET WOKE! To Christians The Bible says if we break one part of the Law we are guilty of all of it (James 2:10). So, technically, that means a church board member who only ever told one little lie (bearing false witness) is just as guilty as the lesbian atheist with a gay-pub membership. That means we should... read more

Hey everyone, Good to have you reading with us on this fine day. We’re taking the time to answer more questions that are out there so please don’t hesitate to ask at connect@swordsharp.com. SURE, YOU’VE HEARD a Christian in a debate respond to the question “YOU WANNA BET?” with something like, “I WOULD… but I don’t gamble.” Another well-intentioned Christian may be invited to a casino but deny the request saying, “No, no, I’m a Christian. I don’t do that.” This, naturally, leads the requester to internally ask, “am I sinning when I make a bet?” So, let’s ask the question directly so we can answer it in an unbiased way: Is GAMBLING a SIN? There is a big group that will say, “yes” but if asked to provide scriptural references for their stance many may struggle to find one that definitively counts all forms of betting or gambling as a sin. While many have learned from “tradition” that betting and gambling are sins, the Bible does not directly outlaw them. There are those believers that say, “no, it is not a sin to bet or gamble.” Based on our research we can say without bias that their position is actually the correct one. But it is not a good enough reason to say, “the Bible does not mention it, so it is not a sin!” The Bible does not mention cocaine or Russian roulette either but that doesn’t make them ok with God! Let’s examine 1 Corinthians 10:23: “All things are lawful, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful, but not all things edify.” Assuming it is lawful... read more

This sound familiar? “ALL (the political party you hate here) are SO BLINDED! They CANNOT SEE PAST their own agenda. They ONLY CARE ABOUT (some trivialized list of concerns). They’re SO EMOTIONAL!” The funny thing is whether it’s a Democrat, Republican, or some other political party the loudest voices sound the same. Sure, liberals and conservatives have legitimate differences. But there is one thing gamers usually get that others don’t always in the political world… unity toward common goals. I know you all remember what Jesus said (especially you minority church going liberals and you evangelical Christian conservatives 😉 ) … a house divided against itself cannot stand. So, how can the US, or any other nation for that matter, stay standing as long as we find reasons to be at each others’ throats? What do gamers do? Even when there is a troll on team; even when a team member is super weak in their role; even when your support builds like a mage or your tank equips heavy damage weapons (UGHHH!!!!!) we still do our best mobilize toward victory. Yes, there are the KSing selfish players out there that you need to block. But I think most others are fairly genuine, even if we think they might be misguided. But at the end of the day, no one is above being misguided. We all have been at some point, I suppose. And it is that humility of knowing “I was misguided before, and may possibly be now or in the future in some way” that will hopefully help us RESPECTFULLY disagree… with humility and without belittling someone of a different... read more

When GAMERS here the word REVIVAL they likely think of a downed avatar coming back to life without having to wait a for a cooldown or respawn at some distant checkpoint. However, when the Church says REVIVAL they refer to a mass spiritual awakening of people coming to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Some would suggest the term also includes the demonstration of signs, wonders, and miracles being seen all over by large groups of people. REVIVAL is a buzz word these days in churches. Lots of churches and organizations are praying for revival, but few are actually seeing it. How can we see revival? Let’s take a gamer at SwordSharp.com for example. One gamer named Winston, who happens to be on our team at SwordSharp.com, is also a street evangelist from California. Winston spent years trying to help people know Jesus but the conversations tended to be short and unfruitful. The only real in depth discussions he had seemed to turn into never ending philosophical debates with endless questions. One day Winston met a friend that was also an evangelist (and a gamer) that experienced revival in his own life. That friend shared some tips with Winston and discipled him. When Winston left on his own he used those tips and said that he was able to lead more people to Jesus Christ in one week than his entire life prior! What are some tips we can give for YOU to see REVIVAL in your church and in your life? Let’s discuss this is gamer relevant terms: 1) YOU CAN’T BE REVIVED IF YOU AREN’T PLAYING – When you pray for revival, are you praying for... read more

You know how it is when you see that AWESOME EPISODE of a series that just HOOKS YOU into watching the rest of the season online… over the next 12 HOURS! Some might be saying, “12 hours!? … I spend my ENTIRE WEEKEND watching the whole series!” And if it’s one of those awesome classic anime or tv series we haven’t finished we might just sacrifice 3-4 hours of sleep EVERY NIGHT to catch up! Well, if you are like many of us, when you’re all done investing long hours watching a series you feel a subtle, indescribable emptiness inside that sticks around, at least until the next binge watching session starts. Why is that? There’s something that’s not quite fulfilled in us after those sessions. Maybe because our senses are being stimulated, but not our spirits. Could it be because watching hours of Hulu, Netflix, and CruchyRoll is a sin? Here’s the deal… The Bible says, “All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.” – 1 Corinthians 6:12 As a result, we know it is NOT A SIN to watch lots of online shows, but we also know it IS A SIN to be consumed by entertainment such that it has a MASTERY over us. …including our favorite video games which we schedule our lives around. Well, if you are one of the many bound by a cycle of binge watching but you want to know how you can stop and get closer to God, it may not be easy, but here’s how: 1) Set limits and... read more
