New thread for new news 
http://www.funcom.com/news/pre_production_begins_on_new_game_in_the_longest_journey_saga
| Quote: | Durham, USA – November 1st, 2012 – Funcom is excited to announce that 'Dreamfall Chapters', the long-awaited sequel to the award-winning adventure title 'Dreamfall: The Longest Journey', has gone into pre-production at Red Thread Games, a new studio founded by Ragnar Tørnquist, creator of 'The Longest Journey' saga.
Red Thread Games has licensed the rights to 'The Longest Journey' universe from Funcom, and Mr. Tørnquist will spearhead development of 'Dreamfall Chapters', while continuing in an advisory role as Creative Director on Funcom’s recently launched modern-day massively multiplayer online game ‘The Secret World’.
Last month Joel Bylos stepped into the position as Game Director on the myths, legends and conspiracy themed online game, allowing Mr. Tørnquist to devote more of his time to 'Dreamfall Chapters', which recently entered pre-production.
Red Thread Games will independently fund and produce the sequel to 'Dreamfall', and has entered into a revenue sharing agreement with Funcom as part of the licensing deal. Funcom owns the intellectual property rights for 'The Longest Journey', but due to the company’s focus on and commitment to the development of online games, the decision was made to license the rights to Mr. Tørnquist and his new development studio. The close working relationship between Funcom and Mr. Tørnquist will allow him to continue on as Creative Director of Funcom’s ‘The Secret World’, in parallel with putting together a team to develop 'Dreamfall Chapters'.
“I'm very excited to finally have the opportunity to continue the 'The Longest Journey' saga,” says Ragnar Tørnquist. “Ever since we ended 'Dreamfall' on a nail-biting cliffhanger, players have been rightfully demanding a sequel, and my deal with Funcom will finally make that possible. I'm extremely grateful to Funcom for this unique and exciting opportunity, and I can't wait to dive back into the universe I helped create more than a decade ago, and continue the story players have been waiting for these past six years."
Red Thread Games will release more details about 'Dreamfall Chapters' in the coming months. |
Just entered pre-production.. It'll be a while before they have something substantial to show us..

If everything goes as expected the next couple of years will be epic for us, with great *proper* sequels like this, tons of excellent indie games as usual and all the promising KS projects

| Quote: | RPS: When you say ‘independently funding’, I recall that we spoke a while ago and you did mention that the Kickstarter explosion had got your attention? Is crowdfunding something you’re still considering?
Tørnquist: Yes it is. We will be doing a Kickstarter. Not right now, but we will be doing it in the near future, simply because although we received a grant from the Norwegian Film Institute, which was announced today, that is only for the preproduction phase. That allows us to get started on a prototype but in order to fully develop Dreamfall Chapters we’re going to need more money and we will be going to Kickstarter. |

Also:
| Quote: | RPS: The word ‘chapters’ suggests episodic – or is that for another reason, because it’s part of a bigger story.
Tørnquist: More the latter. The theme of Dreamfall was faith, having faith and losing faith. Almost heavy-handedly illustrated with a character called Faith. The theme in Dreamfall Chapters Is more about the cpahters of life, of life being a story. That’s where the title comes in. It’s also the first chapter of something else in a way though. |
Hm..
| Quote: | RPS: I think a lot of people are going to be happy that you just said ‘Dreamfall will never be a multiplayer game’. You mentioned handheld devices earlier – will Chapters be taking the leap?
Tørnquist: Right now we’re only saying the game will be on PC and Mac. Thjat’s our primary focus and that’s where our core audience is. We’re looking at other options but it’s PC and Mac right now. |
And that it's "a game for couples".
| Quote: | Dreamfall Chapters is a game for couples, or any people playing together. Social singleplayer games. You don’t have to actually control the characters on the screen to enjoy participating because it’s the story, the characters, the dialogue, the puzzles. It’s about saying ‘hey, why don’t we look over there’ and not needing to be the one with the mouse and the keyboard to have input. You can come up with suggestions.
A lot of people who played Dreamfall and TSJ did so with parents, or with significant others or with their siblings. They sat there and they might have controlled or just offered suggestions. It’s the pace that allows for that, the story, the room to breathe and room to talk about it. And, yeah, being able to go down to the pub afterwards and talk about your experience. Finding a way to relate it to your own life like you do with a good movie or book. It’s something that’s we want to accomplish and that’s hard to put into a bulletpoint form but that’s what we want to communicate as well. This is a game you can play together. |
Thankfully it doesn't seem he means co-op, it's just that it's a game that is fun to play with someone else.

Here's hoping for no cliffhangers this time. Last Dreamfall was right up there with G.R.R.M in cliffhanger severity and if there is one thing that I hate it is a cliffhanger in ether a game or a book, you never know when and if the story will ever be completed. Sadly, judging by the format, I can already smell their stench.
