Venice Under Glass Megamedia 1999

Aimed at teddy bear lovers from 8 to 80, Venice Under Glass featured Basil Baker, amateur sleuth and teddy bear, on a 5-day mission to Venice to help his Uncle Clive solve a series of mysterious thefts of antique Venetian glass. This was to be no children's game in the 'traditional' sense of the word. The goal was to design a game that would appeal to both audiences. There are many, many Teddy Bear lovers who are now adults and the creators wanted them to be able to enjoy a great adventure game. So they were designing a game that talks up to children - challenging them. The game would have taken Basil to many notable places and events in Venice, including the Grand Canal, Piazza San Marco, the Bridge of Sighs, Carnevale, and of course, given the importance of glass, the island of Murano. However, only a short trailer, a very short demo and a screen-saver were released with the intent of drumming up future sales. Then the company closed down. Basil actually has a life outside this effort, and you can read the story of Venice Under Glass on-line created by Stephan J. Harper who teamed with Peggy Anne Harper. It has 46,011 words posted (204 pages, if printed) together with over 120 story illustrations already. The official Publication Date is March 15, 2011. The soon-to-be completed book should come in at about 64,000 words (280+ pages) with 170+ illustrations - and Venice Under Glass will be free and on-line then as well.
