Προ λίγων ημερών λάβαμε το εξής δελτίο τύπου από την
Arberth Studios
, παραγωγό εταιρεία του "Rhiannon: Curse of the Four Branches":
Arberth Studios Goes it Alone in Europe
Welsh independent developer Arberth Studios has taken on all non-American licensing rights to its hit point-and-click PC adventure game, 'Rhiannon: Curse of the Four Branches'.
Arberth has parted company with European publisher Lighthouse Interactive, which hit financial difficulties after the collapse of its UK distributor last year. Lighthouse agreed to cancel the contract after three months of operation.
The independent studio, based in West Wales on the Celtic fringe of the UK, has acquired a sizeable proportion of the remaining stock of 'Rhiannon' and is offering it through a number of outlets, including its own website at <!-- w --> www.arberthstudios.com <!-- w -->
The Welsh independent has declared itself ready to open negotiations with other publishers and distributors for Europe and the world excluding North America and Mexico.
'Rhiannon' was an instant success story after its launch in Autumn 2008, hitting the top of Amazon's list of best selling adventures and gaining plaudits from players and reviewers. It is performing well in North America, where Got Game Entertainment currently has publishing rights. The Arberth team are busy working on their second game, 'Coven' - a story
encompassing witchcraft in the sixteenth century and the present day - also set in Wales.
Noel Bruton of Arberth Studios comments: "This is an exciting time for Arberth as we look for another European partner to work with us. Lighthouse announced in December 2008, that due at least in part to the collapse of its UK distributor, it could not meet its financial commitments to us. We took the decision to salvage something from the remains of
Lighthouse to ensure continuity of supply."
He continues: "Lighthouse had begun, but not concluded the setting up of various distribution deals in Europe. We were very keen to localise for the Lighthouse territories, and German and Italian translations were well advanced. But development of these is now in abeyance until a way forward can be found."
Παρότι ακόμη δεν έχω παίξει το συγκεκριμένο παιχνίδι, έχω ακούσει εξαιρετικά καλά λόγια γι' αυτό (μπορείτε να διαβάσετε σχόλια και στο Adventure Advocate, εδώ ). Σημειωτέον επίσης πως η ίδια παραγωγός εταιρεία εργάζεται ήδη πάνω στο νέο της adventure, το Coven . Είναι πραγματικά κρίμα να αντιμετωπίζει μια καινούρια και γεμάτη υποσχέσεις εταιρεία/ομάδα τόσο μεγάλα προβλήματα στη διανομή και την προώθηση των παιχνιδιών της. Ειλικρινά ελπίζω να μη ματαιωθούν λόγω αυτού τα μελλοντικά σχέδια τους...

Arberth Studios
, εταιρεία ανάπτυξης του "Rhiannon: Curse of the Four Branches", βρήκε τελικά λύση στο πρόβλημα διανομής που αντιμετώπιζε: την online διάθεση του παιχνιδιού της. Έτσι, λοιπόν, το Rhiannon διατίθεται πλέον προς download προς 14 ευρώ από το
GamersGate
. Πολύ καλή κίνηση μιας κι είχαν τόσο μεγάλο πρόβλημα με τη διακίνηση του τίτλου τους, ελπίζω απλώς να μην περιοριστούν μόνο σε αυτήν τη μορφή πώλησης στους μελλοντικούς τίτλους τους. Όπως και να το κάνουμε, το κουτί είναι κουτί!!
Arberth Branches Out With Gamersgate
Welsh developer Arberth Studios has joined with games portal Gamersgate to offer the English-language version of its supernatural adventure 'Rhiannon:
Curse of the Four Branches' for download. The non-exclusive deal covers all publishing territories of the world.
Arberth's co-founder Noel Bruton comments "We're very excited about this opportunity. It means that 'Rhiannon' is now available anywhere with a good Internet link, which opens it up even to territories where we don't yet have direct publishing arrangements. It can put 'Rhiannon' in the hands of more players, which is why we wrote it - to get it played. It's a great alternative route to market for the smaller independents like ourselves."
However, it is not just the increased and immediate product distribution that drew Arberth to Gamersgate, but the flexibility and quality of the facility. Bruton continues, "Gamersgate's online inventory monitoring service allows us to track and manage sales almost in real time, which is a far cry from the comparatively primitive, after-the-fact periodic sales reports from some more conventional publishers. We see offerings like Gamersgate as a key part of the future of access to adventure videogames."

Μέσα από στράτα απόμονη και απόσκια
με αγγέλους του Άδη μόνο στοιχειωμένη
που κει θεά μ' όνομα νύχτα βασιλεύει
κάτω, στα μέρη αυτά έχω φτάσει, τώρα...

Βασικά για μένα το πρόβλημα δεν είναι τόσο το κουτί, μιας και με τις DVD θήκες είμαι εντάξει, αλλά περισσότερο το ό,τι δεν έχεις αποθηκευτικό μέσο μήτρας που γενικά είναι κάπως πιο ανθεκτικό στο χρόνο από όσο τα δισκάκια που καίμε μόνοι μας. Και όσο για τις ηλεκτρονικές βιβλιοθήκες όπως έχει αποδειχθεί εταιρείες έρχονται και παρέρχονται μέρα με την μέρα (εντάξει ας το pushάρουμε λίγο) σε σημείο που να μην εμπιστεύεσαι εύκολα μια ψηφιακή αγορά με κλειδί από την εταιρεία. Δεν ξέρω αν η συγκεκριμένη λειτουργεί με ψηφιακή άδεια φυσικά [αν όχι, τότε είναι θετικό].

“I have a secret game that I’d like to play... a game of fun and a game of adventure! A game of rats and lice, the black death, a game of speared eyeballs and dripping guts and the smell of rotting gardenias.”

Το Rhiannon έχει κυκλοφορήσει στη χώρα μας σε retail έκδοση εδώ και 3-4 μήνες. Όσοι ενδιαφέρεστε , μπορείτε να το βρείτε στα καταστήματα Παπασωτηρίου ή στα Media Markt στη λογική τιμή των 30 Ευρώ. H αγαπητή Giovanna , μάλιστα , έχει φροντίσει ήδη να μας το παρουσιάσει μέσω ενός έξοχου mini-review , στο οποίο φαίνεται ότι το παιχνίδι της άφησε πολύ καλές εντυπώσεις. Ευχαρίστως θα το έπαιζα και εγώ , καθώς τα adventures μυστηρίου μου αρέσουν ιδιαίτερα , αλλά με τόσα αξιόλογα παιχνίδια που κυκλοφόρησαν τους τελευταίους μήνες , πού να προλάβω...
Πρέπει μάλιστα να είναι και ένα από τα τελευταία adventures που κυκλοφόρησαν από τη γνωστή Lighthouse Interactive προτού η εταιρία χρεωκοπήσει , προς μεγάλη δυστυχία όλων των φίλων του είδους (ή τουλάχιστον όλων όσων αγοράζουν αυθεντικά παιχνίδια , οι υπόλοιποι δεν νομίζω να στενοχωρήθηκαν και τόσο!)
