🚨 Closed testing for Shepherd King has officially begun on Google Play! 🚨

If you signed up to be a tester, please check your email for the opt-in link.

👉 If you don’t see it, check your spam folder just in case.

If you’re still not seeing anything, feel free to DM me directly and I’ll send you the opt-in link manually 👍

A quick note on the delay:
The approval process took longer than expected due to an issue with Google Play’s Family Policy, specifically around how religious content can be marketed to users under 13. Google doesn’t give very clear guidance on this, and after five resubmissions and trying just about everything else in the store listing, the solution ended up being adjusting the target audience to 13 and up. Once that change was made, the game was finally accepted.

I’m really excited to start closed testing and to hear your feedback — it helps shape the game more than you might realize.

✨ There are still a few tester spots open, so if you’re interested in joining, let me know!

Thank you all for your patience and support. 🙏

✨ The Labyrinth Update is Here! ✨

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who’s supported Saul of Tarsus on Steam – this one’s for you! 🎉

Dive into the tunnels beneath Damascus, face new foes, uncover secret treasure, and customize Saul with brand-new outfits. 🧥

Steam players get the full Labyrinth experience, but mobile adventurers – don’t worry! A small update is coming to Android & iOS too, including the new changeable outfits. 👏

Your support keeps the journey going… and the adventure is only getting bigger! 🌟

Happy holidays to everyone! There's much more coming up in 2026. Shepherd King is in the final stages of development and the Jerusalem update is planned for early next Summer. There may even be a few other surprises as well. Stay tuned!

Here's an early draft of the title screen for the new game. I was originally planning on calling it Young David, but I found out that there's an animated series with the same title.

I've got some of the enemy Ai mechanics already made. Essentially you'll be traveling along a path protecting your sheep from wolves, lions and bears. If you loose all of your sheep or come in contact with the predators too much, it's game over. Get through 21 rounds and you win the game. Just beware. In the last round you're up against Goliath.

Shooting to release early next year. Let me know if you have any suggestions!

Alright, guys, I know I already used this joke, but I never thought we'd actually make it to 9k! But it's official. Saul of Tarsus has over 9000 downloads in more than 100 countries around the world!

To celebrate, here's the earliest sketch I have of Saul. I'm just happy I didn't do this one on notebook paper.

✨ Después de seis semanas de trabajo (y dos más esperando la aprobación de Apple), ¡la traducción al español de Saul of Tarsus ya está disponible en Google Play, iOS y Steam! 🎉

El juego ahora está 98% traducido — todo lo necesario para completar la historia principal ya está en español, con solo unos pocos textos automáticos que siguen en inglés.

🇲🇽 México fue uno de los primeros países en apoyar Saul of Tarsus, y nunca lo he olvidado. También quiero agradecer a todos los demás jugadores hispanohablantes de América Latina — especialmente en 🇦🇷 Argentina, donde el juego ha estado creciendo en popularidad recientemente.

Estoy muy agradecido por su apoyo, y estoy emocionado de poder finalmente compartir esta traducción con ustedes. ❤️ ¡Los quiero mucho!

Got some business cards made this week! Maybe I can share them with some locals here in Georgia.

Thanks for everyone who reached out with feedback on the last update. A new update just dropped on Google Play, fixing a lot of the bugs from the last update.

The biggest one was where the screen goes black and sends you back to the title after you leave Ananius's house. That one really stumped me for a while, but apparently, it was loading an invisible button on the map. I missed it while playtesting the first time, because I play on my keyboard buttons when I test, so I never pressed the button. On the phone you tap the screen to move, so when you tap that spot on the map it activates the button 🫠

Oh and for all of my Spanish speaking friends, I'm happy to announce that the game is now 98% translated into Spanish 😉

I'm still waiting for Apple to approve the latest update, but once it does, I'll do a big post to celebrate.

Much love, everyone!

Today marks two months since I released Saul of Tarsus, a solo dev bible game that I built on a $300 laptop over the course of 3 years. It currently has over 3700 downloads on 3 platforms across 74 countries around the world. This makes it the most downloaded Christian game ever created by a solo developer. 

I don't make any money on this game, apart from a handful of purchases on Steam and all of that goes back into marketing. Most people download the game for free on either Google Play or the App Store. There aren’t any ads and I don’t collect or sell people's data. I work full time in a factory in the mornings making seats for school buses. After work, I work on the new update for the game along with translating the game so that more people can play it. I take a portion of my paycheck every week to spend on ads to get the game out to new people. 

I’m not a large team or a studio. I don’t have any church or company sponsors. I’m just a guy trying to get a Bible game out to the world. Thank you to everyone who has shown support by liking, commenting, messaging, and downloading the game to check it out. And Thank you to God for doing so much with so little.
