Recently, developer Red Thread Games have started raising funds via Kickstarter for another entry in the beloved The Longest Journey series of adventure games. However, if you need proof of their hard work and commitment before tossing a few coins their way, worry not, because today, they released a video showcasing prototype footage of the game in action.
Serena Nelson writes: "As a refresher, Dreamfall Chapters follows the exploits of Zoe Castillo and Kian Alvane as they unravel the mysteries and conspiracies in Stark and Arcadia respectively. The third book, Realms, takes off right where the second left off. So, if you need a refresher course, you can always play through the previous chapters. Although, it would most likely have a recap like the second did."
Serena Nelson writes: "Love it or hate it, episodic games are here to stay. Especially with regards to crowdfunding games. We've seen a fair number recently have to split their game into two or more parts for one reason or another and there's been a decent amount of backlash against cutting a game up into bite-sized chunks. With the recent announcement of Celestial Tear: Demon's Revenge getting an episodic release I thought now would be a good time to go over the pros and cons for doing this."
Amanda French writes: "Ragnar Tørnquist is the founder of the Norwegian indie game studio, Red Thread Games, and also the writer and director of the recent episodic adventure game, Dreamfall Chapters (which you can see our review for.) Ragnar made a name for himself in adventure gaming, with The Longest Journey series being considered a staple in the point-and-click genre. Not only that, he has been influential in the MMORPG world as well, doing significant writing for Anarchy Online, as well as creating The Secret World."
