Thank you all! - From Silvio Savarese

Hi,

I would like to thank you all in the Gameboomers community for the amazing support that our game (A Quiet Weekend in Capri) have received in the past few months. Without your support we couldn't have made it up to this point: the game will be available in the US stores very soon!!

Also, I would like to thank Got Game for sustaining and believing in the Adventure Games genre (unlike a well known company did in the past few days )

Silvio
Co-developer of A Quiet Weekend in Capri

Hi there,

Nice to see you on the boards.

Easy to support and root for a game so carefully and lovingly put together. Adventure gamers are happy you guys are out there making games like this for us to enjoy.

Now get to work on AnaCapri

Hi Laura,
it's exactly what I am doing right now!!
Silvio

Glad to see you drop by and take the time to say those kind words. It much appreciated by us Gameboomers.

We like to thank you and Gey for making a wonderful game.

MaG

Thanks Marita!

I can't find the words to describe one of the happiest moment a while ago, when I was browsing this forum (it was last summer and the game was recently released in Italy)

It was so great seeing so many Gameboomers enthusiastic about Capri - that really strengthened our motivation to keep working on adventure games!

Silvio

Buona sera Silvio!

I hope it will greatly pleased you that your game will be appreciated(as soon as it comes out in US!) here in Republic of Singapore as well!!!!

Hey Silvio all you have to do is make a good games like you did. We love good games and we love good game developers. We love you. Please do not stop, keep going.

Silvio, Australia is anxiously waiting for the release of this game - and for more to come!

I am very glad to hear that!

We are currently working on the possibility of making the game available outside the US. It might take a little bit of time....

A the moment, for gamers outside the US, the game is only available on line. E.g. Got game ships outside the US.

Or you could visit the actual island of Capri and buy it there! There is a bookstore in Capri that sells the game and the bookstore itself appears in the game!

Hi Silvio

Its great to see you on the board...Quiet W/E is one of my all time favourites. I was lucky enough to speak to your dad on the cell phone when I came to Capri last September, unfortunately we didn't get to meet.

Please hurry with Anacapri...and Please..Please..Please dont change it..it was so beautifully done.

Sylvia

to Gameboomers Silvio.

Thank you so much for a beautiful game Looking forward to the next one!!

Hugs

Tig

Very happy to see you here Silvio!

We are all looking forward to your next game! Thank you for taking the time to post here. It's developers like you that keep the adventure genre alive!

~Dee

Thanks to all again!
as for Anacapri, no worries!
The graphical interface will be very similar (although it will be improved). We are really convinced that the navigation must be as simple, immersing and fluid as possible.
(no mouse movements as in URU - we don't think that so much flexibility ultimately benefits the gamer).
Silvio

I am really looking forward to getting my hands on Capri! Thanks for making it!

Question?? Is this the first "Capri" game? or is it a sequel...If there was another one, how did I miss it?? Glynn

I plan on buying your game when it gets released here in the states.

It's the first one, only with some modifications. For example the GotGame version is supposed to have speech in English or Italian (your choice) and not just speech in Italian with English subtitles. You also get a bonus soundtrack CD.

The GotGame release is the first official North American release.

Thanks Jenny! Whew..I was confused [as usual] because I read posts from some gamers who had played it..glad I ordered it, with the soundtrack CD..just watch...I will get Syberia 2, Crystal Key 2 and Capri..all at the same time! Glynn

Exactly, as Jenny mentioned in the previous message, here is the situation:

* A quiet Weekend in Capri - March 2004, Got Game:
in English or italian with English subtitles + bonus soundtrack CD (this release is an improved version of the Oxiana's release - see below)

* A quiet Weekend in Capri - May 2003, Oxiana release:
in Italian with English subtitles
(this is what people have been played so far)

* Anacapri (tentative title) - to be released in 2005 (hopefully!)

Have a great weekend!
Silvio

sounds great!

Yes it does!! I'm sure I will like the game..great screen shots! Glynn

I have the game on pre order ..I can't wait to play it!!!

Everything about this game and its developers is first class. Gey Savarese worked with me so patiently for a week trying to get it to work on my pc. Somehow I had a corrupted Windows Media Player, wasn't the games fault at all but he hung in there.

to Boomer's Forum,
good to see you posting
Ingie

Hi Silvio,

I have just ordered the game on the strength of what I have been reading about it, but you should know that the website was not easy to find through search engines. I had to trace it from a review on here!

For you others, at 22 Euros (including shipping worldwide for an initial period) online, why wait for it to hit the shops?

By the way, Silvio my wife and I have fallen in love with Italy after a couple of visits last year and are now learning Italian via Linguaphone on our computer!

By the way, for any specific problem/question with the game, feel free to contact us at:
support@weekendcapri.com

We'll try to accommodate your question as soon as possible!

Silvio

That's great!
Have you been in Capri?

Silvio

Not yet, but may well make it later this year as part of a trip to Amalfi coast and/or Pompeii etc.

Lex...you absolutely must make the trip to Capri...you will love it, especially having played the game...it is so cool actually walking up and down the little alley ways and looking into all the shops in the game...a truly beautiful Island...don't miss it.

Sylvia

Lex, you'll love Pompeii. I had wanted to go there my whole life and I was not disapointed. Just a fasinating place, enjoy!!

Silvio, all I keep thinking is how long did it take to take all those photographs? How many rolls of film and how many photographers? Just a fantastic job!!

Hi Silvio....
It isn't often that I have the opportunity to thank the creator of a game that I have fallen in love with...thank you for this truly magical trip to paradise!
As I said in another post in the "help" forum--I feel a sadness when I quit the game and all of a sudden I am looking at my desktop instead of Capri. I'm going to keep this game installed on my HD..it's wonderful to know I can return anytime I feel like it.
Cynch

When I first installed the game. The island is so beautiful that I just strolled through the whole island without playing and when I think I seen everything, I started to play the game....

Wonderful game, enjoyed very much..Got lost a lot but enjoyed getting lost in paradise...

Great game, very well done...

Can't wait for the next one...

Liz

Silvio,

I sent an email to you guys but got no response, so I will ask my question here. I bought the original release of Capri, and I want the newer version with English speech. Is there an upgrade path for previous buyers to get the new version at a reduced price? If not, there should be.

BTW, the one I bought also came with a soundtrack CD.

Stuart

hi iscreamer1
yeah - it took quite a bit - almost 3 years of work...

thanks a lot Cynch and Housewife!

Hi Stuart,
this is a good question. We are discussing this possibility with the publisher. We should be able to get back to you with an answer in a couple of days.

I just finished the game and I loved it. The scenery was gorgeous. Capri sure is a beautiful place.
Now that I've finished the game, I'm going back to see if I missed any of the beautiful scenery.
Thanks for a great game and thanks to Mag for a excellent walkthrough.
Looking forward to Anacapri.
Kay

Silvio,

I'm still waiting for an answer...

Stuart

hi Stuart,
We haven't forgot your question... we just need a little bit of time to sort things out.
I'll get back to you as soon as possible!
Silvio

I got my copy of Capri from ebgames.com. I am looking forward to playing the game!

Christy

Bought the original and will also buy it in the store with the box it is a beautiful game.
