Tilted Mill Entertainment shall release a downloadable demo of Immortal Cities: Children of the Nile on November 19.

The demo reveals a glimpse into the life of your citizens. Take on the rewarding challenge of being Pharaoh as you lead independent people to create a society and then a civilization of your design.

The demo shall remain under 200mb to download.

NEW YORK, NY, November 9, 2004 - Myelin Media today announced Immortal Cities: Children of the Nile^TM for PC is available at retail stores nationwide. Developed by Tilted Mill Entertainment under the direction of Chris Beatrice (designer of the PC smash-hit Pharaoh), Children of the Nile is the first in the Immortal Cities series of groundbreaking 3D city/society builders.

"Chris Beatrice and his team have genuinely evolved the city building category in a way that we believe will expand the market beyond some of the previous successes this team has been part of" says Gene Mauro, CEO of Myelin. "They did this ahead of schedule and on budget, something to be extremely proud of with such an ambitious project."

"Immortal Cities is the city-building game that I always wanted to make," said Chris Beatrice, president of Tilted Mill Entertainment. "We were able to incorporate many innovative elements that have never been done before. The ability to roam a living and breathing virtual city and interact on a personal and emotional level with your citizens is both unique and captivating, and we feel players will enjoy this fresh new experience from a popular genre that has not evolved as quickly as other genres have."

LONDON, UK - November 4, 2004 - SEGA® Europe Ltd, has announced a new release date for Immortal Cities: Children Of The Nile^TM for PC CD-Rom to provide greater support and awareness for this remarkable, breakthrough title. In order to maximize on market specifics the European language versions will launch January 28th, with the English language launch hot on their heels at February 4th. The decision to move the release date was made by key marketing executives at SEGA who feel Immortal Cities will greatly benefit by steering clear of this year's cluttered holiday climate. The extra time will be used to build on a core fan consumer base through extended Marketing and PR activities.

"The successful release of Immortal Cities: Children Of The Nile^TM is extremely important to SEGA Europe, across the initial launch period and through to post launch sell-through activity," commented Mike Hayes, Managing Director, SEGA Europe. "This game deserves a greater spotlight, and we believe moving it into the first quarter will provide this. We've been pleased to hear such positive publicity and consumer response to the game's beautiful, expansive and unique gameplay. Tilted Mill deserves the additional attention, and consumers will be thrilled when they see how much city building and real time strategy gaming has evolved through Immortal Cities."

Between now and January 2005, Immortal Cities: Children Of The Nile^TM will be the focus of an exceptional marketing and advertising campaign including press and TV coverage, demos, store displays, and internet updates.

"...I've never experienced the feeling of having a truly living city before the way I did in just a few hours of Children of the Nile."

"The game allows you to get really up close and personal to your citizens via the game's camera system and it's actually fun to watch them both work and play. The lighting and especially the water effects are well done. All told its certainly one of the best looking city sims we can remember seeing."

"In any case, Children of the Nile is pretty damn fun. Any fans of Impressions' city building series will likely eat this up. It seems to be a bit more accessible and some of the features have not only added a little more realism, but also eliminated some of the frustrations."

"At this stage, Children of the Nile looks to be a promising first chapter in what is obviously hoped to be a new series of ancient-city strategy games. Tilted Mill has reworked the rules of the genre, and the mix of challenging gameplay and strong presentation should appeal to city-building fans."

September 7th, 2004 "A leisurely stroll through a city, in 1st person" was the winning choice in the recent poll asking, "What would you like to see in the next gameplay video?". We have answered, and here it is! A gameplay video of Children of the Nile in 1st person, leisurely moving through a city. In conjunction with this, a new Design Insight by Jeff Fiske has been posted which goes into detail about what you see in the video. As well as some information on how it was created.

September 7th, 2004 It's about time Thoth showed up. Maybe the scribe of the gods will help us out with these Web updates from now on.

And last, but certainly not least, the music downloads page has been updated with a new track of music from CotN entitled, “The Garden of Egypt, Part II”.
