Sundown
Where Faith and Gaming Intersect, and Purpose Meets Play.
More than games. More than a guild.
About Us
Sundown was originally founded in September 2019 with the anticipation of Amazon's New World. The guild prepared diligently for the game’s original launch date in May 2020. However, when the release was delayed, Sundown transitioned into maintenance mode, patiently awaiting the game's debut. This unexpected shift paved the way for Sundown to evolve into a casual, social, and ADD-gaming community—a model that continues to thrive today.Now, Sundown stands as the heart of a multi-gaming yet unified community of like-minded Christians. We are a sanctuary for those seeking respite from the challenges of the world, a space where fellowship flourishes without the need to guard our words or convictions. Here, conversations naturally flow into profound theological discussions, laughter over shared gaming adventures, and heartfelt moments of connection.At Sundown, we celebrate our faith openly—praising God, sharing prayer requests, and standing in awe of His sovereignty. We believe that every moment, every victory, and every challenge is held in the palm of the Creator’s hand. More than a gaming community, Sundown is a place to belong, to grow, and to glorify God together.Also. We're 100% exclusive. Meaning that only selected applicants may join as members. Life offline can be tiresome and Sundown is meant to be, well, not that. Our community is here to fellowship, play games, have fun, and be a place to rejuvenate the Spirit through uplifting discussions, Bible studies, and Prayer groups. Also, a little bit of pixel-based murder and thievery.
Games We Play
Sundown embraces our gaming ADD by rotating through games as the community signals when their interest in a particular genre or game has waned. If you like to have a healthy mix of games to play with a community, then you'll enjoy your time in Sundown. If you prefer to remain a "One Game Only" gamer, then you'll still have fun chatting with us in comms as we split into a variety of different pixel worlds.Many members are currently adventuring through Once Human, shopping, building, and slaying their way through so many many deviants. Want to join? We’ve got space for you in our Hive.Not feeling the seasonal grind? We've got members exploring the sands of DUNE: Awakening, braving the spice and the storms on Arrakis (though expect more activity when updates drop).And a handful of dedicated members have stepped back into Ashes of Creation at a leisurely pace.

Keeping to our ADD-roots, Sundown does also host random events that are either party game focused such as Jackbox Party Games or Discord Game Nights. We'll also have watch parties where we watch random content together. Prayer Covenants also pop-up from time to time where we host week-long or month-long daily prayer meetings where members can come and go as they please.

Join Us
Sundown is a traditional Christian gaming community that holds fast to the Biblical teachings of the One True God. We are unapologetically rooted in the truths of the Word, recognizing that we are sinners in need of a Savior. We cling to our Redeemer and give Him praise as we fellowship with one another in digital realms where we commit murder, mayhem, and crimes of varying degrees.We believe that God gave us, His creation, the gift of humor.
Everyone in Sundown has this gift.
And we abuse it.Unlike secular gaming communities though, we don't use vulgarities as a crutch for our humor. You won't find us using slurs, profanities, or the Lord's name in vain in our communications---making us an ideal fit for both believers and family-friendly unbelievers.Joining Sundown will give you access to our sub-communities that are spreading across multiple games. This means you can join the WoW guild, the Ashes of Creation guild, hop into whatever dedicated server we have running for the Flavor of the Month game, and be invited to join in on whatever other game we decide to expand into.
