Given that it's a point and click adventure I'm inclined to agree. $20 is the price of Dreamfall right now and a pretty standard price for adventures besides. It would appear the only incentive to back at $20 would be the fact that you're helpng back it. Not necessarily a bad thing, but some might think there's no need to pay $20 now when they can just wait for the game to come out and pay $20 then.

hey funcom maybe you shoulda made THIS instead of a fuckin MMO and then MAYBE you wouldnt need a fuckinG KICKSTARTER ! ! ! !

It isn't Funcom that's doing this game.
-_-;
I really hope this far exceeds its goal. TLJ and DF are two of my favorite adventures of all time. I'm currently in for $20, but will likely up it to $50 or $75 later. I want that graphic novel, but the lowest tier with the physical copy is way too high ($350). I'll probably settle for the PDF ($75).

I think it would've been a better idea to do the Kickstarter campaign when their playable prototype is actually finished. Some gameplay footage would've been great. I liked the story of Dreamfall, but the actual gameplay was utter garbage and I don't want to play something like that again. All they do is vaguely saying that they are aiming for old-school adventure gameplay.
Anyway, I'm probably going to back this. I loved The LOngest Journey and I really liked Dreamfall. Even with the terrible gameplay and some story points I didn't like
And I think it's kinda stupid that they don't want that say that April and Kian are the other two playable characters.

for example the Storytime world. Two worlds wasn't enoguh?!

$110 gets the box
You've got my $20! Fingers crossed for a Steam version as well.
This will make $1m+ no problem. Guessing $1.5-2m.
I think most if not all people back to ensure the game gets made, not to get a discount.

no WAY ! !
I don't think they can under Kickstarter rules; got to hit the goal before you can accept Paypal.
If you think about it, it's clear why; Paypal money goes out immediately while KS funds are withheld until the goal is met and not sent otherwise.
Imagine the situation of a project which takes Paypal and then fails to meet the KS target...
Ragnar Tornquist is doing it, don't worry.
I'm IN!!!!! Gonna help kickstart it right now.
works for me
Its the original team so don't stress
in the end funcom is just a name, its the talent who build the games that make it good, and they have that.Backed with the quickness. I absolutely love the story of the series and I'm really looking forward to seeing what they came up with to conclude it all. I'm pretty sure they learned their lesson about combat and stealth with Dreamfall (at least I hope so).
I'm not sure how I feel about Zoe's face though. Looks kinda off.

Pledged $110 for the box!
It really sucks that Funcom is only interested in the online business and big publishers don't want to fund adventure games AT ALL.

Pledged 20... also put the first two games on my Steam wishlist... Fingers crossed they're discounted soon
they usually include them in the Steam sales so you have hope.

"ACCESS! Download and play Dreamfall Chapters before anyone else!"
Wait... isn't the whole point of Kickstarter is getting the product when it's done and getting it before it gets release to public? Why lock this for $75 and higher tiers?

Thanks GAF! Gave my contribution. I love Tornquist's products. I may have even sent him a fanboy email once.
Not at all.

It's pronounced "turn-kvist" not "torn-kwist" like english speakers usually say.

Don't really dig Zoe's design in Chapters. She looked way better in Dreamfall.
The point of kickstarter is getting a product made at all.

Just backed it. The Longest Journey and Dreamfall are amazing. 110$ at the lowest for a boxed copy is not a good choice though.

Not sure how much to pledge. Hmm.
Eiter way, incredibly happy about this. It's been way too long. Not sure what I think of Zoe's new design, but it's definitely not bad.
Wut. No.

Looks god damned amazing. Will be backing when I get home. Can't wait can't wait! I never thought I'd see the day.

i'm annoyed that the $150 tier doesn't include a boxed copy. usually higher tiers in other KS games I funded will always include the boxed copy from lower tiers. for some reason, adding your name to credits and receiving a signed postcard will sacrifice the $110 tier. kinda odd.
they decided that if you want both, it's in the $250 tier which is way too much for me. gonna see if i want to change my pledge amount depending on what rewards i want more.

One of my most long-awaited games for only $20? Amazing deal, backed. I like that Kickstarter not only helps developers, but makes the basic-tier games much more affordable than traditionally published ones.
