Hi Dianne smile

Is it this game

http://www.gotgameentertainment.com/rhiannon/

you were asking EB Games about...

I don't why the game has been discontinued - if indeed it has?

I was under the impression that arbethstudios were making another game named Coven ?

I sent an email to the Developer, he will hopefully be posting to answer that question for you.

Hi all

Sorry for the confusion. I'll be making a formal announcement about this in the press quite soon but the bottom line is\;
NO - RHIANNON HAS NOT BEEN DISCONTINUED
But the European publisher has become insolvent so as developers, we're finding new ways of distributing it, more news VERY soon.
Meanwhile - by EB, do you mean Electronics Boutique? If so which store?

Best

Really? That's terrible news. They were one of my favourite publishers as they had all the brilliant adventure games. Rhiannon, The Lost Crown, Overclocked, Barrow Hill, Darkness Within...

Just to clarify to all. GotGame is not the publisher in question, they are doing fine.

noel, Yes, EB is Electronic Boutique.
So sorry to hear about the other Publisher. I do hope you are able to find another means to get the game out in Europe.

edit:

I want to thank Noel from Arbeth Studios to come to this site and clear this up for us...

original post:

Isn't EB games called Gamestop now? At least the EB game store near me changed its name to Gamestop a maybe 6-7 months ago? It may be different in the US, I think.

Is the European publisher Lighthouse Interactive?

The publisher for US/CAN is still Got Gome Entertainment?

I would also hope that arbethstudios find another publisher soon...

Gamestop bought EB. In the US, some EB stores changed their name to Gamestop, others still call themselves EB.

dianne, no worries. You didn't upset anyone, and it's good that Noel is made aware that they may have false info and can do something about it.

Hi Dianne smile

You didn't upset anyone. I was just curious...

It is not that uncommon for a game to be published by one publisher in Europe and then by another publisher in the US.

And yes, it is good that Noel is made aware of this; means that he can do something about it - like Browneyed says...

Wow Lighthouse Interactive closed their doors? They showed so much promise for us adventure game addicts. Isn't Lighthouse the Publisher for Dead Mountaineers Hotel? I wonder if this means the Hotel is really dead now for an English release?

Those are my questions and concerns too, GreyFuss. But I haven't heard anything through official channels yet, so let's hope it's all a misunderstanding. Nothing in the Dutch news, nothing on the LI boards.


I'll be back, one day, when I feel like it.

Hi Pollo

I would hope that too Pollo but it doesn't look good when every link I had and can find turns up nothing for Lighthouse Interactive. Too bad.

That's a great shame. I've played and enjoyed many Lighthouse games over the years. frown

Sad news, I always liked the man in the yellow waterproof shining his torch and pulling the switch to start a new game. I think every time I saw him I just knew I would enjoy the next few weeks. sad


Has any one seen any little gray cells around as I think I've lost some? Reward for finder.

PRESS RELEASE
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."


I'll be back, one day, when I feel like it.
