Frequently Asked Questions - updating this page Dec 30th,2004- Jan 4th/05This page will be updated with Frequently Asked Questions over the next few weeks. If you have a question you would like answered, feel free to email us at faq@eldorengame.com When is the Eldoren Game releasing? We had hoped to see it out in Q2 of 2004. That date is now suspended and will depend on funding and the deal we do with a publisher. We MAY release the books or an online game/site in 2005. More to come on this question in the next week. Will this game be available on PC and Mac? It is our goal to see this game eventually released for both the PC and the Mac What about Console ( XBOX™, Sony Playstation™, Nintendo GameCube™) ? As big Console fans, we would love to see this game on every platform. This decision will depend on the publisher and the market when we are ready to launch. An XBox version or PS2 would be cool.UPDATE: It may not be realistic to expect this game on the console at this time. What inspired you to create a game like Eldoren? As big Adventure Gamers, we loved the original MYST® and RIVEN® series ( we were the creators of the award winning RIVENGUILD fan site) and always wanted to create the our own game. We are also BIG fans of Lord of the Rings, the DUNE series, Beyond Atlantis™ Series from Dreamcatcher and many others. How big is Eldoren? How many hours of Gameplay can I expect? Game
Version - We are pushing for a minimum of 50-60 hours of gameplay
per book, but quite
honestly,
we may be able to provide much more. Again, watch our site for
details. Will there be sequels? Yes, we have written 3 books with a 4th in development. Who is actually designing the game? Are you a game developer? Eldoren - Book One: The Discovery was developed and written by Gordon Currie ( CEO of Eldoren Consulting Inc ). We are currently assembling a development team made up of Artists, 2D and 3D artists, programmers, sound and music technicians/composers and a producer / manager. We will be releasing more information on our team in the coming weeks. Will there be a game soundtrack available? Yes, we are strong supporters of sharing the music behind the game. Will the game be released on DVD? These sorts of decisions are something we work with a publisher on. Will this game be violent? Can my kids play? It is our goal to create a non-violent Adventure Game. That said, there will be some implied violence, some greed, mystery and suspense and a few people you might not want to trust. No one will die in this game but you will have to be really careful. UPDATE: Alot of the depth of the story lies in the political parts of the story, the earth science, issues of trust and greed. Each character brings strong traits that many will find interesting. We have heard rumor of an interactive website to accompany the game. Is this true? Yes, in fact our plan from day one was to create an online website that would allow you to visit and learn much more about the world of Eldoren. We also wanted a place to release clues and secret codes to access areas hidden within the game. We think its going to be fun! UPDATE: We may in fact launch an interactive site BEFORE a game is made and this may provide enough information to get people interested (publishers? Movie Directors?)

This city is HUGE....absolutely stunning. How does a civilization live among such monuments and know so little about their history. Adventure Game fans are going to love this..... Quote from a Game Publisher who has viewed some of the Eldoren Story. |
