Egypt’s Ancient Mysteries™ The Tobler’s New Project A JA World Exclusive! |
If you are one of the many who savored every detail as you solved the Riddle of the Sphinx or spent endless nights searching for The Omega Stone, then strap yourself into your sarcophagus for Jeff and Karen Tobler of Omni Creative are about to take you on the adventure of a lifetime!
The Tobler’s –simply not content to just release another game – have decided to take their expertise to the next level and have created a new online, monthly adventure e-zine – Egypt’s Ancient Mysteries™ – that will function both as an online community and as a lead-in to their next game to be released late 2005.
Egypt’s Ancient Mysteries™ (EAM-Zine) will feature interactive 3D reconstructions and relics, virtual explorations, custom developed online games, photo exhibits, forums, polls, and more material that will be available nowhere else. Plus, over the development of each game the members of EAM-Zine will have first access to screen-shots, demos, polling, etc. and first access to the new game upon release at a EAM-Zine member’s discount of 25%.
Jeff Tobler offered us a sneak peak at the subscriber’s portion of EAM-Zine and it is hard to not be impressed by the wealth of available information. In fact, we’re already hooked on The Pharaoh’s Tomb, an Egyptian-themed arcade/adventure game that is but one of the numerous games already available. But EAM-Zine is much, much more than just games and who better to describe its benefits than Jeff Tobler himself:
Catching one’s breath… an innate response we can imagine experiencing stepping into a newly discovered Pharaoh’s tomb, or as one steps back upon hearing a loud rumbling, straining to see through the dust caused by the grinding ancient stones, and finally exploring the newly revealed hidden passageway, lying in wait over the millennia.
It also describes our response when we conceptualized Egypt’s Ancient Mysteries™. Mysteries explored and ancient secrets revealed… adventures in the making!
If you are one of those souls who, like us, find the opening word picture exciting and intriguing, you’re in good company. Egypt’s Ancient Mysteries™ steps through time and walls and the tombs themselves to discover and reveal that which has been sleeping under a secretive blanket of sand.
With you, we are going on an extended journey back to ancient Egypt to uncover mysteries, explore tombs and monuments, examine sacred artifacts and ancient relics, and have a GREAT time doing so!
What’s so unique about Egypt’s Ancient Mysteries™ and this perpetual adventure? YOU!
You will be involved, immersed. It’s an immersive journey, an interactive journal, and an adventure that continues on month after month, year after year. This format has all the elements of an intriguing adventure game, all the information and research of a research journal, and all the excitement of an actual expedition.
You will have the opportunity to be an Archaeologist, Egyptologist, Explorer, Adventurer, Scientist and Antiquities Dealer, among many more. Information will be presented in a myriad of formats, including: video, narration, journal entries, Quicktime VR, realtime 3D, and other technologies that bring Egypt’s Ancient Mysteries™ to life!
Karen, my beautiful, bright, and lovely wife, as well as co-founder of Omni Creative Group, Int’l and Egypt’s Ancient Mysteries™, and I have been on an ancient Egyptian adventure for several years now, starting with our early ideas of a game that would take the player to the Sphinx and Great Pyramid and explore several mysteries surrounding the Giza Plateau.
And so it was that 5 years later we completed the epic Egyptian Adventure, Riddle of the Sphinx™ (ROTS), and the rest, as they say, is history. However, it was during that process, with the extensive and exhaustive research we put into the making of ROTS, that our initial curiosity of archaeology and all things ancient Egypt turned into a passion for adventure and exploration via the written word, interactive media, and ultimately (eventually, for some sites) a journey to ancient sites of interest!
Though a life-long pursuit of “the ancient’s” secrets and mysteries can be tedious, expensive, risky, time-consuming, and generally boring (see comparison chart), an extended journey with EAM is inexpensive, safe, fun, family-friendly, intriguing, comfortable, and you’ll learn something new along the way.
Best of all this adventure may be made solo or with other adventurers from the EAM community!
It’s another unique feature of Egypt’s Ancient Mysteries™, and it is with this community of like-minded adventures that you will be able to share your experiences, form new friendships, and gain life-long memories.
So, what are you waiting for? Travel back in time, step into a world of hidden chambers, treasure-cached tombs, and buried secrets.
Journey into Egypt’s Ancient Mysteries™ and join us along with the EAM community for the adventure of a lifetime!
