Ransom of the Seven Ships Trailer

We ususally post 3 trailers for each game we release. Each one is used for a different purpose.

1) Teaser Trailer
This is always the first trailer about the game that we release publiclly. If you using your sleuthing skills, you may notice that the narration for this trailer is the same as what you heard from the last game we released, except with different scenes. We use this trailer when we first start to promote the game.

2) 2 minute trailer
The 2 minute trailer is used exclusively for digital download partners. Since our games are so large and digital portals won't let users download such a large file for free to try for an hour, the second best way to get a feel for a game is to watch a video showing all of the cool things you'll get to do. We take a lot of time to make sure this trailer gives the viewer a good representation of gameplay.

3) 30 second trailer
And lastly, we have a short 30 second trailer that we use as advertising. Banner ads are usually limited to 30 seconds, so we try to tell as much of the story as possible to get the viewer as interested in the game as possible. There's a lot of BOOM and FLASH in this trailer because it is so short to catch a viewer's attention.

Earlier this week we released a trailer for Ransom of the Seven Ships. Does anyone know which trailer this is supposed to be?

PS. Yes, this means we'll have 2 more trailers for RAN coming in the next few months!

I think it's good that both Bess and George are playing major roles in one of Nancy's mysteries. This being the 20th game of the series, I think something extra had to be added for this special milestone, and Her Interactive has certainly exceeded expectations and really raised the bar!

I think so atleast but also the "screaming" is in the : Nancy Drew and the creature of Kapu Cave trailer.
At April 22, 2009 12:43 PM, rose_thorn said...: I wonder if we will be able to see what Bess and George look like. I mean, we got to see the Hardy Boys, so why not Bess and George?

I hope it's great, I know I'm going to get it one way or another! Nancy Drew games are the best, I have them all, except for the 'Lights, Camera, Curses' one. Nancy Drew rocks!

In the trailer the water is incredible! The waves were cool in 'The Creature of Kapu Cave but this water is amazing!! I can't wait to play 'Ransom of the Seven Ships'! I'm sure I'll feel like I'm actually there!

I am glad that both Bess and George are finally getting to be more than just two voices on the phone, because they are important characters just like Nancy is. I hope that their images will be as awesome as those of the Hardy Boys in #13. :D

At May 18, 2009 1:14 AM, RachelS said...: When will the game come out I'd love to get all of the series including this new Dossier series you have. Please don't keep us ND fans in the dark?
At May 18, 2009 1:19 AM, RachelS said...: <---giggles seems like after all the games you give us the teasers for the next one. LOL I love them and can't wait to see and get the new games. :D
At May 27, 2009 12:53 PM, rose_thorn said...: I hope Nancy Drew will come back to the US after Ransom of the Seven Ships. She has been out of the country since The Legend of the Crylstal Skull. I think it would be really interesting if the next mystery took place in River Heights!
