Valve unveiled the latest batch of games to get the Steam Greenlight, including a few successful and unsuccessful Kickstarter veterans. Perhaps the most notable entrant is Dreamfall Chapters: The Longest Journey, coming from Dreamfall series creator Ragnar Tørnquist's new studio Red Thread Games.
Ragnar Tørnquist and Red Thread Games were clearly getting enough money to make Dreamfall Chapters, as its crowdfunding campaign rocketed out the gate and hit its $850,000 target in about a week, but how many stretch goals could it hit? Funding wrapped up over the weekend at $1,538,425--180% of the goal and just enough to make the adventure game as a 'Director's Cut.' Planned features it trimmed or cut to make the basic budget viable will now be added back in.

Have you pledged money to the Dreamfall Chapters: The Longest Journey crowdfunding campaign yet? Yes? Then you'll be thrilled by this new trailer for Ragnar Tørnquist's conclusion to the adventure game trilogy. No? Then perhaps this'll win you over. Or not. Whatever. Watch it, if you want. The game's smashing through stretch goals like nobody's business so it doesn't particularly need your help, but it'd still like it.
Well then, an awful lot of people were certainly waiting for more of The Longest Journey. Creator Ragnar Tørnquist's crowdfunding campaign seeking $850,000 to conclude the trilogy with Dreamfall Chapters: The Longest Journey has passed 90% of that goal in only one week, prompting the release of some prototype gameplay footage and the revelation of stretch goals.
Some of the most successful crowdfunding campaigns have been from industry legends, folks whose pockets fans want to stuff full of money so they can make their dream game, such as Tim Schafer, Chris Roberts, Peter Molyneux, David Braben, and Brian Fargo. The Longest Journey creator Ragnar Tørnquist may have that sort of recognition, but the Kickstarter his new studio Red Thread Games launched today to make a third game in the series, Dreamfall Chapters: The Longest Journey, is asking for a hefty chunk of change: $850,000. Get your credit card out, then.
Thirteen years after The Longest Journey launched and six since its sequel Dreamfall, creator Ragnar Tørnquist is returning to the sci-fi-y fantasy-y adventure series. He's formed a new studio, Red Thread Games, and licensed the rights from Funcom to make Dreamfall Chapters, but beyond that it's a bit of a mystery for now.
