For Ludum Dare 36 Competition - Theme: Ancient Technology
Press Space to take a breath before you black out and succumb
to suffocation, but you can only take so many breaths before
blood loss and exhaustion take their toll.
Press c for another crucifixion.
“To talk about a cross in the ancient world would be like talking today
about instruments of torture. Listen to some of the ways people in the
ancient world talked about crucifixion:
Punished with limbs outstretched, they see the stake as their fate;
they are fastened and nailed to it in the most bitter torment, evil
food for birds of prey and grim pickings for dogs.“
“Another Roman writer, Seneca, speaks of the variety of creative options
open to the sadistic executioner: “I see crosses there, not just of one kind
but made in many different ways: some have their victims with head down
to the ground; some impale their private parts; others stretch out their arms
on the gibbet.”
-Two sections from The Gospel and the Cross, by Craig Van Gelder published 1999.
