ABOUT US
Hello! Welcome to Thorncrown Games!
We're a studio dedicated to making blatantly Christian, edifying, and entertaining video games. We have a lot of plans for the future and we'd love for you to join us in accomplishing them, whether that's supporting the studio, joining us in prayer, or even just playing our games.
Our origin story
Thorncrown started when our founder and CEO, Phrog, had the God given idea of a gacha game that rewards you for reading your Bible daily early December 2025. Phrog scripts, records, edits, and then posts a video asking for assistance with the project on February 4th, 2026. The video, posted to both YouTube and Twitter/X, was expected to do moderately well, and Phrog only planned for one or two people to be interested in helping with the more technical side of game dev. However, the video did far better than expected and many people showed interest in joining as a volunteer to work on the game.
Soon, the Bible Gacha team was made up of over 100 people divided into groups to work on different aspects of the project, from art to coding to music and sound design to writers and more.
February 7th, we decided to incorporate as an official game studio and settled on the name Thorncrown Games.
March 13th, Phrog chooses RinsibleDraco and RevKrytical as the other two members of the Board of Directors, splitting ownership evenly among the three of them.
About Bible Gacha
Bible Gacha is our flagship game and the dream that started the entire Thorncrown project. A fun gacha-style game that encourages players to read the Bible and pray consistently in return for unlocking a cast of Bible characters and heroes of the faith from history. This game is fully focused on the Bible and developing your faith. We thought it was important to keep the mechanics of the game simple so as to not distract from that focus.
The initial release is set to include 10 Bible characters and 10 heroes of the faith and devotional material, Bible reading plans, and habit-building exercises corresponding to each of them. After that, we plan to regularly add new characters, skins and more content for already existing characters, and new game mechanics.
The entire game is volunteer-built and donation-funded. There are no plans to monetise Bible Gacha in any way, though we plan to monetise future games from Thorncrown to support ongoing Bible Gacha updates.
Looking to the future
The members of Thorncrown initially came together just to create Bible Gacha, but after realising there are so many Christians out there not just looking for good, faith-based games, but also Christians eager to make them, we've started to plan for a future beyond the release of Bible Gacha.
We want to stay together as a game development studio pioneering the way forward in Christian game development. We already have ideas for games we want to create once Bible Gacha is released.
Down the road, we see Thorncrown becoming a name associated with Christian gaming and becoming established enough to provide our current volunteers with full time job positions as well as being capable of producing new games and creating content for already existing ones constantly. Help us make this dream become part of our reality by supporting in anyway you can!
