'' Catechumen '' is known for being one of the most expensive Christian video games made . N'Lightning Software spent nearly $ 830,000 during the development process , although the game 's disappointing sales along with its spiritual successor released in 2001 , '' Ominous Horizons : A Paladin 's Calling '' , eventually led to the company 's disbandment . According to N'Lightning Software 's founder Ralph Bagley , investors were initially hesitant to fund '' Catechumen '' s development until after the Columbine High School massacre on April 20 , 1999 . The two perpetrator 's tendencies to play violent video games made a lower-violence video game alternative appealing to investors
