[1][2] The Christian Game Developers Conference was founded in 2002 by computer engineer Tim Emmerich from Corvallis, Oregon, apparently with the goal of providing greater support and experimentation for Christian video games.
[3] In 2011, the conference hosted around 85 individuals and in 2012, the number of attendees once again exceeded 100 people.
[1][4] Developers evidently use the event as an opportunity to network with other Christians and to find a community of individuals who share their beliefs and experiences.
[4] According to sources interviewed from within CGDC, there is a recurring debate at the conference regarding how evangelistic Christian games should be, if at all.
[1] Attendees seem to be in disagreement over whether their games should be overt in their Christian subject matter or more allegorical with a message they may present.
