The team would also have to show some enthusiasm, maybe even some form of passion. Their presentation sucks majorly. You want me to read this text? Okay boss, whatever you say, as long as I get paid.

I think you are completely right - the sad part is, this is what we call “enthusiasm” in Norway. Anything more than this would be considered “over the top,” and the person would probably feel like - and be seen as, by fellow Norwegians - a “clown.” We are very “stiff,” one could say. It’s a cultural thing, I guess.

“Welcome to Norway. We do have emotions, it’s just taboo to expose them too much.” xD

I agree, you shouldn’t expect ‘big arm movements’ and passionate speach from a scandinavian, that is simply not how we are
But if you know the code, you can tell that they are both enthusiastic and passionate about the project.

Well, to me it looks more like a Dreamfall game than a TLJ game. And not all TLJ fans loved Dreamfall or Zoe.

There’s a great interview on Rock Paper Shotgun where Ragnar talks about recapturing some of the “magic” of TLJ that was lost in Dreamfall, as well as some stuff on the interface—it’s going to be direct-control and point & click, apparently.

I agree with Orient, the story is obviously a continuation of Dreamfall, but they are well aware of the problems with Dreamfall, and will try to avoid doing the same mistakes. Also they are planning to make more games in TLJ universe, not just Chapters.

That’s some cool shit! The Longest Journey is one of my favorite adventures, maybe even number 1 on my list. Not sure about all of the graphics they show in the video though…

They’re now at $700 000!

Rewatching the pitch video, RTG really went all out with the color filters/effects!

The campaign is moving along nicely. I think they’ll finish somewhere around $1.3 million. I guess it depends on how ambitious they are with stretch goals. I wonder what their highest stretch value will be?

I’m getting the folks who work with Freddie Wong, those that made the Video Game Academy webseries for my Kickstarter video. Maybe we can go beyond just Color Filters and Effects….maybe we will attempt…..ACTING!! lol

New update with a very detailed gameplay video for such an early prototype. Nice interface.

Ok, finally a bright green, pastoral game, and not the gloomy, pitch-dark one. I really like it, but Zoe still looks weird, but the good news is April Ryan’s voice actor is back once again. I hope they’ll model her after the first game and not Dreamfall.

I’m not sure about the interface, seems to me they’re aiming for something like Tales of Monkey Island system but without the need to hold the mouse button, but the problem might still arise with camera moving while you try to click on the desired spot. Anyways, nice updates, and I’m glad the guy mentions lots of “riddles and puzzles” as I hope the gameplay-wise it doesn’t get too far into “interactive movie” ground.

The folks at Unity were right, letting people use Unity 4 trial for demos and prototypes on kickstarter was the best decision they can ever make. Loving their Mecanim work in the video.

Just want to point out that the video was not the game at full settings. You can see that the laptop he was working on wasn’t exactly up to snuff with shader coding and so on. Just gameplay.

The little prototype demo was cool. Now I really want to play that game.

A modern Dreafall with an improved interface was everything I asked for.

Roll on 2014.

Well, I was thinking they’d get around 1.3-1.5 million, but now I’m really hoping for 2 million!!!

Lettuce gogogo for the stretch goals!
