h2g2
TDV is currently developing h2g2, our headline multiple media brand, which uses the attitude and humour of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy to create multiple information and entertainment services.
We are beginning our journey to turn fiction into fact.
"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a very unevenly edited book and
contains many passages that simply seemed to the editors like a good idea at
the time."

In Spring 1998 TDV and its partner Simon & Schuster Interactive launched Starship Titanic, a critically acclaimed PC CD-ROM game. This is supported by a highly successful web site, which provides further entertainment, promotion, advice, support, community services and a retail channel for brand merchandise.
Two books have also been published: the novel of the story (written by Terry Jones) in print and audio form, and a game strategy guide. Negotiations are underway for the development of a Starship Titanic feature film, and worldwide merchandising agreements are being put in place. Development work has now begun on a sequel.
The game is distributed in the UK, the USA, Canada, Australia, Holland, Scandinavia, Germany, Israel and will be released later this year in Japan and France. A Mac version has been developed and will be released in Q1 1999.
We are currently developing an all-German version in-house called "Raumschiff Titanic".
