Nancy Drew DVDi

[Noone]

Can you tell anything about the recent conversion of Nancy Drew: Curse of Blackmoor Manor into interactive DVD media? Was it successful? Are people interested in such kind of media? Do you have any plans on converting any other existing ND game to DVDi?

DVDi is expermental for us. It gives us the advantage of placing our content in front of a new set of consumers. We think that the people shopping for this type of product are looking for a different type of experience then sitting in front of their PC. Nancy Drew is a family friendly brand so it makes sense to extend our characters and story to a family environment like the television.

I will also say that I was suprised at how well the content translated to this new platform.

its also fair to warn you, if you've played Blackmoor on the PC, then content and the story are the same. That's not to say that you wouldn't enjoy it again in envronment or social setting.

If we learn that people want content in this format, of course we'll make more

I though that DVDi format will be more interesting not to PC-playing people, but to those who don't have a habbit to play games. They watch films on DVDs and suddenly find out that the film can be interactive. And hey, it can be playable on Xbox 360, PS3 etc... :-) So you definitely are widening your auditorium.
