Interactive Comic iBook is No Longer a Fantasy - Published on 12/05/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Tom McGrane announces The Damned Meanderers Chapters 1 and 2. The Damned Meanderers is a newly published work of multimedia, for the fantasy genre, on iTunes and iBookstore. After learning the war they have been fighting was never theirs to fight, six soldiers decide to set out for home and must confront various forms of land, danger and rogues, but also the six very different souls within their group. The comic ebook series indulges in sound effects, ambient sounds, and a cinema soundtrack.

Bethpage, New York - Tom McGrane announces The Damned Meanderers Chapters 1 and 2. The Damned Meanderers is a newly published work of multimedia, for the fantasy genre, on iTunes and iBookstore. After learning the war they have been fighting was never theirs to fight, six soldiers decide to set out for home and must confront various forms of land, danger and rogues, but also the six very different souls within their group. The comic ebook series indulges in sound effects, ambient sounds, and a cinema soundtrack.

First time author, Tom McGrane, can finally breathe easier. "Technology has finally caught up to me", he sighs with relief. Sixteen years ago, back in 1996, Tom had an idea to create a multimedia comic website. However, the way he envisioned it made him feel technology wasn't quite there yet. From start to finish, the multimedia comic book needed to be executed on the computer, not even drawn. Through the use of 3D applications, like Poser and Bryce, Tom wanted to create his fantasy world and tell a story of the importance of acceptance and friendship. With the addition of a soundtrack, sound effects, ambient sounds, and a bit of animation (but keeping the traditional comic book text balloon), Tom wanted to enhance the readers' reading experience. Now sixteen years later, he finally feels he can. And better yet, publish his work as an ebook so readers can read it on their tablets, in any environment. But, first, he needed to see if he can attract a respectable readership.

The Damned Meanderers was originally published on the web on July 15, 2012 on its own website. Every month a new chapter was published in two parts, appearing the 1st and 15th of every month respectively. In its first two months of being published, The Damned Meanderers attracted over 11,000 readers and visitors. From teenagers to grandparents, Tom's virtual comic book had caught the eye of many who eagerly await the 1st and the 15th of each month, just to see what's happened in the Meanderers' world. Feeling a sense of accomplishment, Tom published his third chapter along with a survey that was to be taken on the website and The Damned Meanderers official Facebook page. The survey asked the 11,000 readers one very simple question, would you like to see The Damned Meanderers as a multimedia comic ebook? The readers gave a resounding reply, Yes!

So, Tom went to work and ported the first three chapters to iBooks. Why iBooks? "Because with 100 million iPad users out there, why not, right?", replied Tom. Chapter 1, "A Ghost From Days Gone By", premiered on iTunes and the iBookstore on November 19, 2012. Chapter 2, "Gillo and Greer", followed on December 1, 2012. Chapter 3, "All One Wants", will make its iBook debut on December 15, 2012. Chapter 4 will be published in early January and every chapter after that will appear monthly. The sale price for each publication is $3.99 USD and is sold in 50 countries.

Feature Highlights:
* Interactivity
* Animation
* Cinema soundtrack
* Ambient sounds and sound effects
* Illustrated using 3D applications
* Easily bought through iTunes and the iBookstore in 50 countries

Device Requirements:
* Requires iPad with iOS 5.1 or later
* iBooks 3.0 or later

Pricing and Availability:
The Damned Meanderers Chapters 1 and 2 are only $3.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) each and available worldwide exclusively through the iBookstore in the Graphic Novels category.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Overactive Ink, Inc. today introduces Ashlad and the Troll's Silver Ducks 1.0, its new interactive storybook app for the iPad and iPhone. Ashlad and the Troll's Silver Ducks is the first installment of deluxe storybook apps inspired by the collection of classic Norwegian fairytales by Asbjrnsen and Moe. Each app features hundreds of colorful hand-illustrated artwork, animated characters, an original music score, and read-along narration.

Las Vegas, Nevada - Overactive Ink, Inc. is thrilled to announce today the release of "Ashlad and the Troll's Silver Ducks", an interactive storybook app for the iPad and iPhone. The app is the first in a series of three deluxe storybook apps based on the collection of timeless Norwegian fairytale classics by Asbjrnsen and Moe. Each app features hundreds of colorful hand-drawn illustrations, animated characters, an original music score, and read-along narration. It will soon to be released for Android devices on Google Play and as an eBook on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and the iBook store.

"Ashlad and the Troll's Silver Ducks" begins when young Ashlad embarks on a journey to the King's mansion with his two brothers Per and Paul. His plotting brothers are jealous of Ashlad and trick him into performing dangerous quests for the King. Ashlad must venture to the Troll's island and retrieve several magical items for the King in order to spare his life and win the princess's hand in marriage. During his quest, he encounters magic harps, silver ducks, and other surprises while using his wits to outsmart the evil trolls.

To Norwegians, Asbjrnsen and Moe are synonymous with traditional folklore in the same manner the Brothers Grimm are to German fairytales. Over a year in production together with several Norwegian advisors, the team of artists at Overactive Ink endeavored to create an interactive environment throughout the story that authentically reflects the time period and location in medieval Norway.

"It's exciting to be involved in creating our own take on these stories that I remember from my childhood and to be able to share this part of Norwegian culture with an international audience," said Oyvind Kvanes, Overactive Ink's co-founder and Vice President of Engineering.
