The first episode of Dreamfall Chapters, the sequel to The Longest Journey and Dreamfall, is now available on Steam and soon will be available on GOG.com (I'll update this when it is available there). (EDIT) Actually, it looks like the somewhat more expensive Special Edition is already available for purchase on GOG. (/EDIT ( Read more... )

This news is somewhat amusing to me, because I had somehow missed the previous news that Dreamfall Chapters wasn't going to be episodic. But now, apparently, it is episodic again? How about that. *shrug ( Read more... )

The Kickstarter for the spiritual successor to the game that I have always considered to be the best, by far, of all of the old-school BioWare-style RPGs has already blown way past its goal after less than a day. It was fully funded in just six hours ( Read more... )

The Kickstarter is already well past the original goal, but unless there's a huge push in these last few days or so, I don't think they're going to come anywhere close that $2,000,000 stretch goal ( Read more... )

And here is the first part of a Rock, Paper, Shotgun interview with Ragnar Tørnquist. I haven't read it yet myself, so I don't know how spoiler-heavy it is, so go in with caution if you're spoiler-averse. No spoilers, at least in the first part.

"Ragnar Tørnquist announced today that his new company, Red Thread Games, will be developing and publishing Dreamfall Chapters, finally continuing the story that began with The Longest Journey."

I've talked about The Longest Journey (and its sequel, Dreamfall) more than a little bit in the past, so I won't go into any great detail here. All I will say is that I believe TLJ is pretty much the single best old-school point-and-click adventure game that has ever been made, bar none.* If that appeals to you even the slightest bit, especially ( Read more... )

Rock, Paper, Shotgun interviews the creator of The Secret World. (Again.)Some of the ARG elements (especially the part about characters from within the game emailing you and such) seem a bit weird, but overall, the more I hear about this game, the more interested I become. As always, I'll just say please don't screw this up, Funcom. (And, much ( Read more... )
