I’ve been browsing the web for public domain images that I can use in my game. I want a mix of military, religious images and space images. I’ve been pretty lucky to find what I’m looking for. Some I’ve had to do a bit of photoshop work on to make it fit in. Here are a few images:

I needed a title for my 2009 Game Chef entry, so I spent a bit of time and came up with The Miriam Incongruity.

Miriam is the Hebrew form of Mary. This comes out of the Fleur-de-lis. I taking the medieval religious meaning of â€œLily among thornsâ€ from the Song of Solomon and the later application of the symbol to the Virgin Mary. In the Christian myth, the Virgin Mary birthed a deity. In this game, the players are protecting a child named Miriam who has the power to end the undead rule.

Incongruity, because her wild genes don’t conform to the standard genes in the human pool.

Plus it’s cool to say.
