Well, I bet Dilandau3000 is happy! He loves that series!

...I still need to watch his LPs of The Longest Journey and Dreamfall respectfully.

I predict that several decades may pass before release if they intend to do what they did with The Longest Journey in giving absolutely everyone a complex backstory and making you engage them in conversation for at least three hours, even if they're not relevant to the story in a meaningful way. Most people don't have time to play games that take that long, let alone three of them. XD

Noal, you're my new friend and you have a brilliant avatar. :P

Pleased to meet you  ;D

Noal's avatar is indeed fantastic. XD

I think the seismic shifts this game can cause are indicated by the fact that it made Cez change his avatar!!!
Title: Re: Dreamfall Chapters!!!!
Post by: Cez on February 10, 2013, 05:28:20 PM
hah! To The Moon has more to do with the fact, but I can't deny Dreamfall Chapters had something to do with it as well ;)

She is Faith, from Corridor 9 :)

Also, for those unaware, Ragnar Tornquist did an AMA (http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/189al6/i_am_ragnar_t%C3%B8rnquist_creator_of_the_longest/) to answer questions about the Kickstarter and the game. Lots of the questions and answers were really interesting, and eagle-eyed forumers might recognize a certain CEO asking a question. :P

Most interesting part to me: He mentioned a stretch goal that TLJ fans will be very excited about and mentioned the acronym "TLJH" a few times. He said he doesn't plan on doing an HD rerelease or anything (in fact, they don't have the rights to do so, since TLJ is owned by Funcom) so... ???
Title: Re: Dreamfall Chapters!!!!
Post by: Oldbushie on February 10, 2013, 08:28:13 PM
I think he once mentioned that Dreamfall Chapters != TLJ2... maybe he's referring to that?
Title: Re: Dreamfall Chapters!!!!
Post by: Rosella on February 10, 2013, 09:26:34 PM
Right, he said it's the conclusion of the Dreamer saga, or Zoe's story, not a conclusion of The Longest Journey.

But he wouldn't be referring to a whole different game for a stretch goal...right?

Hopefully this won't be Cez in 20 years, talking about finally making Corridor 9!

I used to follow that man's blog religiously. But then he stopped using it on a regular basis and I just sorta forgot about it

You know, you never know.  We imagined QFI way back in 2003.... and here we are 10 years later, making it!

On an unrelated note, did everyone see the stretch goals? They have to be able to make $1,000,000, which will be crazy exciting, but what do you think TLJH is? It's still not an HD remake, but what would it be? There's no way they'd make a second game on just the difference between $2 million and $1.75 million, so...any ideas?

And here are the folks at Phoenix, finally completing the game they've been working for 10 years too!

It's been a long road getting here, but we'll make it! Adventure games are making a comeback, and it's you guys we have to thank.

And to think, until I saw Paw's LP of your SQ2 remake, I shuddered whenever I saw your name as from what I've seen of KQ3's remake, I was not impressed.

Luckily, you guys have improved considerably since then with pretty much everything (ESPECIALLY voice acting and music). Here's hoping KOS is good too!

Also, tell me something bt. Are you guys remaking SQ3 or not? Because I don't think you should be giving us a sneak preview at the end of SQ2 if you're doing nothing with it.

Oh!! I just read recently and it said The Longest Journey Home. Which DEFINITELY sounds suspiciously like TLJ2.

it's a good title for a story regardless or no.

ASDFASDFASDFADF  THE LONGEST JOURNEY HOME WOULD BE A SEQUEL TO THE LONGEST JOURNEY. (http://www.gamespot.com/features/taking-the-longest-journey-home-6404653) !!!

IT WOULD FILL IN THE GAPS BETWEEN TLJ AND DREAMFALL AND CONCLUDE APRIL RYAN'S STORY. !!!

I WANT THIS SO BADLY. !!!
Title: Re: Dreamfall Chapters!!!!
Post by: Oldbushie on March 01, 2013, 06:53:28 PM
Yay, I guessed correctly! :D Maybe this will get them a ton more funding. ;)
Title: Re: Dreamfall Chapters!!!!
Post by: Guyra on March 02, 2013, 07:02:04 AM
I upped my pledge from $25 to $50! So much want! :D
Title: Re: Dreamfall Chapters!!!!
Post by: Rosella on March 02, 2013, 12:02:58 PM
I upped mine by about $35. I really hope this works. It seems unlikely but....I want it so badly...
Title: Re: Dreamfall Chapters!!!!
Post by: KatieHal on March 03, 2013, 08:00:14 AM
Oo that's a really awesome stretch goal!! I'm still figuring out how much I want to back it for, this makes 50 more tempting...
Title: Re: Dreamfall Chapters!!!!
Post by: Guyra on March 05, 2013, 01:42:58 AM
They will continue the stretch goals even beyond Kickstarter(through PayPal), and they'll have it updated on their website once the Kickstarter is done. :D
Title: Re: Dreamfall Chapters!!!!
Post by: Guyra on March 10, 2013, 06:26:23 AM
Dreamfall Chapters just got funded! They ended up at 21,858 backers, and a total of $1,538,425! Meaning that we achieved all the stretch goals that will include more actual content in the game! :D

Also, a cannon stroking NPC will be added to the game!
