Can one person create an entire computer game?
"With a bit of help from friends", one Australian says "Yes!"
Twilight Software, an independent game studio originally based in Sydney, Australia, is proud to announce the impending release of The Sydney Mystery, a mainstream adventure game from Brendan Reville.
The CD-ROM based adventure game features a super-simple interface, 240 scenes, 17 different locations, and 11 characters. Filmed and photographed entirely on location in beautiful Sydney, Australia, the game immerses the player in a mystery in which a kidnapped uncle has disappeared in a grim underworld of treacherous characters and plot twists.
The game was produced completely independently, but polished to be a comprehensive adventure with some help from Dean Halford and a large contingent of volunteers. Brendan Reville designed and wrote the game, photographed and filmed the locations, wrote the soundtrack, directed the dialogue, and programmed the underlying AGE Adventure Game Engine.
A game demo of Act One will be available soon, and the title will be available for purchase online at an affordable price.
