[Deck13]

Our "Internal Digital Input/Output Technician" (please don't abbreviate) is currently preparing tonight's surprise for our fans. As soon as he's uploaded it, I'll let you know!

Wooooh, I wait for the surprise with impatience :P

[Dimitris Manos]

Count one more impatient soul over here.

Just a few more minutes, and the surprise will be ready! (You see we're working just-in-time! Or are we doing it to increase the tension...? Or both?)

And here we go:

[imported_wedge]

hey really nice I wish it has a little higher resolution though but really fun.

Thank you very much

[Dimitris Manos]

Very funny. This must be the first adventure game music video released ever ;D

[MichaelS]

I do love the song. After I played Ankh I kept playing it on and on !!

Yeah, I love this song too. But I haven't finished Ankh yet (I was actually playing it up until the conference began...)

[imported_wedge]

yeah that is a good idea we shall have more Adventure Games Music Videos like there are AMV (Anime Music Videos) for anime, that would be really fiun to see more of these stuff

The idea of the song was to express the feeling of the game right at its beginning. And the hidden secret message is: Don't take anything too serious!

Especially the history argument.
Are they really singing about "Cairo"? The city that didn't even exist until Roman times (1st century) and became important only some 900 years later under muslim rule?

[MichaelS]

That was a great idea and is working out perfectly ! I got exactly in that mood when starting the game and watching the intro.

Exactly. You're the first one who discovered Ankh's absolute ignorance of any historical facts!

Nice vid, thanx

I really don't mind.
Would you like to give me some money as your future "historical backgrounds"-advisor?

By the way: I really loved the game. Could have been longer, though.

Good video! And I see the Caribbean has managed to export their musical style to Egypt ;D. Honestly though, the music is good and it works for Ankh (as long as there are palms ).

Hey, we can always use a historical advisor

Regarding the length, we'll try to make the next game quite a bit longer. Still, we favor producing shorter games packed with gags and action to producing longer games that might have slightly boring parts or even box shifting puzzles to play for time! - But making the next game a bit longer will surely be possible!
