The New Testament: Jesus and the Manger

Sorry for taking so long for everyone who really wants to try this. I figured out that the reason for the problem in class was the libraries used to run the program weren't included. Anyhow, bumped the download from 1.4MB to about 36MB. :'(

Anyhow, the quick summary of things I intended to run through in the presentation.
Majority of Video games take at minimum a year to develop, with teams of people and each person being employed full time in the effort. For this I point out I tried as many shortcuts as I could for not being a software programmer. Pre-written libraries, predone imagery, simplified scripting.

The idea I had with the game was to have it switch automatically through the player controlling the main character as the stories in the book dictate the change(as well as having random people walk up to be healed or "saved"{The fighting system lol, never got to it}). Starting with the Wisemen. You start out playing one of them, and talking to an angel who tells you to goto christ. You can try to beat the other two wisemen there, or follow if you don't know where to go. After a short scene with Jesus' parents, you gain control of Joseph, walk to the child and press enter and you'll aquire the child, then exist the place and go into the tower of the city, which was the closest I could come up with a church without doing it myself and actually having the time to make it myself. This room is as far as I got in the amount of time I could suffice for it, and yes, the sheep were following you.

The issues behind me picking this direction to attempt:
I work 40 hour weeks as a rackmount server phone\email sales\support and RMA\repair technician(the only one in the company). I do periodic consultant work for varying clients every now and again on weekends, from emergency support to designing their entire technical presence(Built a CyberCafe).
