The New Disciples is a (COMPLETED) six episode ironic comedy that goes where no show has dared to go before! Follow the Messiah and his new band of disciples in the year 2010 as they try to update Christian principles for a more modern, globalized world. Watch as they tackle new and old issues of human rights, manage affairs between heaven and earth, and thwart the antics of evil in this fun-loving series for the ages (not 'all' ages)! (Show's format is similar to Family Guy flashbacks, so you'll find out how things REALLY went down in bible times). We've intentionally left out the funny pics because we don't want to spoil any of the best parts.


Cast:

"Guy"- The Atheist. Refuses to follow Christianity, but helps out anyway to prevent global catastrophes from occurring.

"Dude"- The Racist. Wishes nothing more than to bang the Messiah's mommy, and to put an end to all religions other than his own.

"Man"- The Invisible Man. Became invisible by some freak accident, and now he has lady problems.

"FTard"- The Schizo. Spends most of his time inside a moveable crate, spouting theories about the FBI and aliens.

"Buddy"- The (allegedly) Gay one. Spends most of his time annoying his fellow disciples with his cutesy ideas and his overtly feminine voice. (Does not appear until episode 4).

"JC" - The Messiah himself! Often confused about what is ‘okay' to do in this day and age, and turns to his new disciples to help him reconstruct the rules of the Church.

Guest appearances from: God, Mary, Marian, Peter, Joseph, Mark, Pontius Pilate, Richard Simmons, Ann Coulter, Mohammad, Abe Lincoln, Arny Schw...?, the angel Gabriel, and plenty more!

Episode Synopses

The comics are coming!



Here's the first preview of the comic adaptation of the New Disciples. Yes, we have a professional in the group. The title will probably also change from season 1 to volume 1.

The pages are looking pretty awesome so far. I'm working on the drawings right now and I've completely rewritten the entire first episode, which now reflects the style of season 2 (better characterization, long flashbacks have been cut, more punchlines with less explanations, etc). Reworking episode 2 right now. The comic format is proving to be much more effective than RM ever was!

As for the art style, I'll post some images VERY soon.

Sorry I haven't put up any games. I try to take my time making them to be less shitty.

I may be making a mistake here, but isn't insulting religion a offense?
The Rulebook of RMN sayeth that thy game is heathen! BURN IT!

Joking, I'll have to play this, then I'll tell you my real opinion.

@newdisciples
Not all churches change at all. The Orthodox Church, for instance, never changes.
Basically being able to point out how slow the church is to adapt to societal changes, and how it only does so when it suits its own agenda... It helps me feel better about having blindly followed these beliefs for years without ever questioning them. It's sad that kids are forced into that kind of learning environment where they're discouraged to question these beliefs, and I feel as though I'm getting back at them all through this kind of satire. Even though it's just for personal reasons, it's fun to write the show with my friends and to get their reactions. There are a bunch of us writing for it now, so it has at least made some kind of impression. I could have made the characters evil geniuses instead to really drive the points home, but instead I made them misguided, so they can eventually learn from their mistakes as they go on.

Tell me how this is working out for you on getting rid of your strict education.

That was a real question, btw. If you say you did that out of spite for your strict moral education, it's not the same as "I was just having fun".

I'm not hating on your game, just making sure I understand it.
I wrote something quite long in response... and lost it lol.

I'm tired of defending it. If people find it funny, that's great. If not, whatever. We're having fun writing for it, even if we're not geniuses like Seth McFarlane, and I'd like to think it improves with each episode. Sorry that doesn't tackle the question.

Of course this was mean to be controversial, that's why it was made. It is a cathartic activity for an atheist who is trying to cope with years of baggage from growing up in a very strict Catholic school environment.


This project is not horrible, and I'm glad there some sort of reason behind it besides "lol offensive jokes". I've only watched one episode so far. And really... I don't know if there's anything in it beyond pure randomness. It's kinda sad that you compare it to Family Guy so often. It's not that Family Guy is funnier... it's smarter. There are subtle critics to society behind the jokes. Jesus asking God out for a beer while they discuss the permission of rape is not really a critic to anything, it's not smart, it's not a metaphor, it doesn't deal with relevant issues, it's just trying to ridicule religious figures.

It was just something I did for myself in the beginning. I was bored one day, and particularly annoyed with the hypocrisy of religion. After writing down some of the dialogue, my room mates decided it would be fun to make it into an rm project. We didn't know flash, and comics would take too much effort. If you're asking in terms of plot, i have no idea where i came up with it really. The characters are loosely based off our little group of friends, and having jesus enter the mix just seemed like a funny idea.

So now, we get smashed and write new episodes that make fun of republicanism, 'cause we hate it.
I'm not sure I understand what the developer is trying to accomplish here but it doesn't look interesting or something I would like to play. With that being said, how did this idea come to you?
I found the discussion on anal sex to be quite philosophical
Don't worry, I'm making like 10 more ;)
I honestly couldn't force myself to sit through this. It was so horrendously terrible. I'd write a review, but that would mean having to watch it again. Never EVER make another "comedy" game like this again.
Nope, pretty sure I wasn't trying to be subtle at all. Like I said, wasn't ever my intention to release it to the masses anyway. Just kinda happened.
There was an interview with Mary Harron, the director of American Psycho. In it, she explained the desire to make a disturbing film, rather than an offensive one. I think what you were going for was disturbing, but ended up being offensive. Learn the fine art of subtlety if you want to take on black comedy.

I'm going to crack this fucker open and take a look. Should have a review in a couple of days.

Considering newdisciples clearly stated intentions I will be judging on three points.

Funny: Was any of this actually funny?

Offensiveness: This project is desperately trying to offend the viewer does it suceed? At any point am I shocked, surprised or truly offended?

Artistic merit: Is there anything of real satiric value here or did you just drop a big steaming turd on my dinner plate and call it 'Modern Art'


lol believe me, I would never pretend to call this art. It's basically a Family Guy format rip off that doesn't feel the need to water down the language. The whole thing kinda happened by accident, and I never intended to show it to anyone. After weeks of it just sitting on my computer though, there was nothing left to do with it so I loaded it up here for public viewing. Plus I was proud of ep 4. Buddy is the best character ever created.

LOL actually, that's a lie. Even I have been offended by Seth McFarlane shows a couple of times for pushing it for no reason (the Michael J Fox thing for instance was in very poor taste).

TND makes fun of Ann Coulter and other people who had it coming, so it's justified. All of the bigotry spouted by these characters is not meant to be taken seriously, but rather, you're supposed to laugh at how ridiculous their belief systems are and that they could be so offensive without realizing or caring.

Of course this was mean to be controversial, that's why it was made. It is a cathartic activity for an atheist who is trying to cope with years of baggage from growing up in a very strict Catholic school environment.
So you made this to insult and offend people...not going to play this now^_^
If you're that easily offended, then it is a good thing you aren't going to play it.

that doesn't match what I said...what I'm saying is that I'm not playing a game full of hate and tries to offend people because there are different then the creator.

If I may direct you to the naked pixels screen left, you will see that beyond RTP nudity this is a profound social commentary on blind faith in general. It is not a far cry from the faith you put in vaporwares on a daily basis...
