The Sydney Mystery price reduced
to the special amount of $19.95. – Plus: now included with The Sydney Mystery is
the AGE Adventure Game Engine for creating adventure games, a $199 value, for
free!
Thursday 4 December 2003: Twilight
Software is happy to announce two pieces of great news for the holiday season.
Firstly, its highly popular casual adventure game The Sydney Mystery is now
available online for only $19.95. And secondly, to sweeten the deal, the AGE
Adventure Game Engine is now bundled with the game, allowing all customers to
try their hands at creating their very own adventure games.
The Sydney Mystery was released in
the first quarter of 2003 to great interest from the adventure game community,
in particular because the game was essentially the creation of one person:
Brendan Reville wrote the game, performed all photography and filming, composed
the music, wrote the story, programmed the game engine and scripted the game
together. With a highly enthusiastic response to the free demo, the full game
has now been enjoyed by hundreds of customers from around the world.
To celebrate such a great year, The
Sydney Mystery is now available for the special price of only $19.95. It may be
purchased, as always, at the official site:

But that’s only half of the good
news. The Sydney Mystery was created using Twilight Software’s AGE Adventure
Game Engine. Customers who purchase The Sydney Mystery will now receive a
special edition of this game engine which they can use to create their very own
adventure games! Included is the engine software, the AGE Sample Game, and over
20,000 words of extensive on-disc tutorial documentation that show how to create
an adventure game. Games can then be released under Twilight Software’s new and
improved Hobbyist Release License. This is a $199 value and is included for
free!
Brendan Reville, creator of The
Sydney Mystery and the AGE Adventure Game Engine, comments: "Creating an
adventure game has been one of the most reawarding things I’ve ever done:
community forums were filled with people getting stuck in the game, solving
puzzles, and helping each other out. I saw people enjoying the adventure that I
created! Now that people have seen what is possible with the AGE Adventure Game
Engine, I hope that there are some special creative types out there who would
like to create their very own adventure games. With this release, I hope that we
have made available the tool to do exactly that!"
Twilight Software wants to recognise
the contribution made by existing owners of The Sydney Mystery, and has already
emailed all of them to give them details on how they can privately download this
bonus content.
Twilight Software thanks its
customers, the online community and the press for a fantastic year.
