Dreamfall Chapters

I'd love it if they also updated the original two games with a modern game engine.yes,I know these games aren't about the graphics but still...it wouldn't hurt. Plus it would bring them to a whole new audience.

Excellent, The originals sinkholed a good chunk of my life way back when (along with the Broken Sword series as well as Syberia 1 and 2).

Some great games there. Broken sword 1 and 2 were my favourite games for many years when I first got a PS1 when i was at school. Shame 3 and 4 were nowhere near as good. I'm looking forward to the new Broken sword game that is supposed to be going back to its roots and back to 2d. It managed to get double what they were asking on kickstarter as well.

Got Syberia 1 and 2 when I injured my hand so I would have a game I can still play. Not quite as good as BS, but really good games. Loved the artwork in these, just a shame they were such low res.

I haven't played much of Dreamfall as the first game looks really dated now. I think I should probably give it another go as I have heard good things about it.

This!
 
1st chapter now released and available for download on Steam. The Longest Journey still rates as one of my favourite old school adventures and also enjoyed Dreamfall, just picked up Chapters from a well known key site for just £14 so downloading now, I contributed when this was a kickstarter project so hoping its turned out well.
 
Quite like what I've played of it so far. Had a giggle at the joke in the section with the little girl who is scared of the monster in the cupboard :D
 
Waited 8 years for this game (not literally of course, I would remember it every few years).
Liked this 1st episode but will have to judge when the whole things released. Good length for an episode though, about 5 hours.

Does it matter if you never played the previous titles?

Dreamfall (the 2nd game) is more important to have played than longest journey (the 1st game). I'd recommend it relatively it's fairly short, cheap & easy.
But watching it on youtube would do fine too, it's 90 % about the story.
Dreamfall chapters has a 'story recap' menu option but the content for it isn't there yet- they are intending to fill this in at some point later.
So I would say do try & catch up on the story of the 1st Dreamfall one way or another.
 
I have been waiting years for this and so glad kickstarter got on it. Dreamfall was superb and played it so many times, as well as TLJ. Played for a couple of hours and very impressed with this but would like a good spell on it but crap 2-10 shifts :(
 
Had ago of it. Seems childish the script at the start and quite dull the gameplay. Stopped just after the wake up bit. I'm still miffed they went with Zoe and not the one from tlj, April was it. Really don't like any of the dreamfall ones. Tlj was a masterpiece and wanted more of that tbh.
 
Bit of an update from Ragnar on when book 4 is coming.

Hi guys,

Ragnar here with an important update.

For the past couple of months, the Dreamfall team has divided their time between two tasks: working on Book Four, and porting previous episodes from an older version of Unity (our game engine) to the newest version of Unity.

The port was necessary for a number of reasons, including performance and stability. We decided back in June to upgrade from Unity 4.6 to Unity 5 before releasing Book Four, and we were reasonably confident that this wouldn't cause any delays.

Our internal (and unannounced) release date for Book Four was yesterday, October 21st.

So what's going on?

Unity 5 has introduced a huge number of new bugs to the game and to our production pipeline, including, but not limited to:

  • Missing and faulty lighting and shadows. (The lighting system has also seen fundamental changes. This will eventually make things look better, but it’s not working as intended yet.)
  • Missing and faulty collision. (Due to fundamental changes to the collision system, Propast pavements have become insurmountable obstacles, while walls often offer no resistance whatsoever.)
  • Random game logic hiccups. (We're testing and trying to figure out what's broken.)
  • Random crashes on load. (We're trying to figure this one out as well.)
  • Crazy, exploding scenery!
  • (And many, many other issues — too numerous to get into here.)

We hope to have a beta version of Books 1-3 on Steam within the next week — fingers crossed. As soon as that happens, we’ll post the information on our official forum and ask for volunteers to help us with field testing the updated engine. When we’ve weeded out and fixed all critical bugs, we'll publish the update and the team will return to Book Four.
