The Kickstarter Video


Hi guys, 

So I opened the page for the Dreamfall Chapters Kickstarter, and I saw the video. I hit play, and I watched a short recap of the previous two games, while listening to the amazing music. I hadn't seen anything, but I already knew that today would be a great day. Then I saw her... Zoë... 


She was standing in the street where the journeyman was located. Behind her I saw Roper Klacks, Benrime, Ary Kiryn, an azadi soldier, the fish merchant, the spicemerchant and his twin brother. Then Zoë's face changed.... She look worried. She looked up, and then I saw the ravens... After which the stunning logo appeared and the first part, the first chapters of the video began: Chapter One: Introduction. 


Then Ragnar appeared explaining what we have been trough in the past 6 years, after which he told us that the day that the saga continues has finally come. While Ragnar continued talking about what kind of game Dreamfall Chapters would be, I just sat there, with a huge smile on my face. This is what I had been waiting for, for so long... It is finally happening: Dreamfall Chapters is coming! He talked about concluding the story. He talked about Zoë, the girl who saved April. And then he told us that they could not make this game without us, they need our help (god knows they do). 


Then Dag Scheve appeared, and Chapter Two: The Story began. He talked about how Zoë saved the world and found faith, but was unable to save herself. He talked about Kian was arrested by his own people, and about April's horrible dead. Then he assured us that Dreamfall Chapters will pick up the story exactly where they left it off.


Then epic music started playing as a shady man walked past the camera, introducing Chapter Three: The Gameplay. The shady man was soon revealed to be the ever amazing Martin Bruusgaard. He talks about the things that makes the TLJ games special, and he talks about how they want the gameplay to support the story, the world an the amazing characters. After that we get another quick sneakpeak of what Marcuria will look like in Dreamfall Chapters.


The next part, Chapter Four: The Team takes us to Red Thread Games HQ, and show us a little bit of what goes on behind the scenes. We see a bit of the Unity Engine, and the team talks a little bit about the mechanics, and how the mechanics serve the story in Dreamfall Chapters. 


Then there is Christer Sveen, who talks about the new rendering technology, the art direction, and about how the art direction makes the Worlds feel alive and believable. Then he talks about how crowdfunding Dreamfall Chapters via kickstarter gives them complete creative freedom to make the game that they want to make.


After showing a little bit more of the Unity Engine again, Zoë appears on the screen and she looked at me, and smiled. It broke my hearth knowing that as of right now she still hasn't awakened from her coma. After that Chapter Five: Our Pledge started. This was the 5th and final chapter. Ragnar talks about how Dreamfall Chapters will be a deep, challenging, complex and emotional game with a soul. And he promisses that the game will be a fitting continuation of the Longest Journey saga. Then once more Martin and Dag tell us why we should support them in making Dreamfall Chapters, and then Ragnar ends with:

"So please contribute and help us make Dreamfall Chapters more then just a beautiful dream."


After that the logo appears one last time and the words PLEDGE NOW appear on the screen. So go for it! Don't wait any longer and do it. It'll be worth it.

About beanies, screens and parties



Hi guys, 

So there have been some quite exciting this going on. First of all "the mystery man under the hood" (no not the prophet) has been revealed to be the ever amazing Martin Bruusgaard! I was really sad when Martin left the TSW team @Funcom so I am very happy to see him again. Welcome to the team Martin, and I still love your beanies.


In other news... guess what Ragnar shared on twitter yesterday? Is it Zoe? Is it her twin? Is our new protagonist? If you ask me it is the different Zoe we were promised earlier. Whatever the case, I am very excited to see this pic, and I am looking foward to see what else they have in store for us. Also: Ragnar clean your screen.
  

Last, but not least the winners for the Kickstarter Party (which is going to happen in 3 days) have been announced. Congrats to all the winners, and we are looking forward to you tweets, pictures and insider information. ;) - No seriously anything you are allowed to share will be appriciated.

That's all I have for you guys right now, as always, don't forget to check back as new info appears.
