The Longest Journey Home kickstarter

[Dreamfall]

I think part of the reason they are having problems backing it was because of the length in time it took to release each chapter. I've played a few other chapter type games, and it's typically 2-3 month between chapter release. I'm not complaining, just sad to see it end. I have been a fan since TLJ release, and my two favorite games are both Funcom - The Secret World, and Dreamfall. Wish I had the money to back TLJ Home but sadly I don't. It's been a fun ride, hopefull we will see them again in 10 years lol.

I would back a TLJH kickstarter no matter how long it would take to see the finished game.

The Longest Journey Home was only a stretch goal on the original Kickstarter which ended before any chapters were released.
There's never been a Kickstarter specifically for The Longest Journey Home :)

[Axiom]

But there should be! Please, I know it's not your current goal, but at least consider this as an option! I've always been more of a fan of the first game than the second, and I would donate what I can and wait however long it takes to see another game about April.

I agree, there should be! You guys did a great job on this game.

[damianno]

I hope they will make TLJ Home - and in point 'n click version it would be jut avesome - more challenging tasks and this incredible plot! I would surely back the kickstarter project for this one!!

If there was, I would support it like this one since you have done such a good work with this project! Of course I have some criticism, like gameplay wasn't that strong (hopefully to be improved with future games), but the story experience made up for it.

They're having a hard time funding because of two main reasons if I'll take a wild guess.

1 The enromous issues with optimization. The game hardly breaks 40 FPS on low settings. The quality and fidelity of the game dosen't warrant 20-38 FPS on a mid-rage PC.

2 The writing of Chapters sucked worse than a high school english paper. They pushed an ideology way to hard. They included political bias that has no place in a game about magic and dreams. And the majority of the story dosen't have good pacing or even good writing. The characters all feel flat. Several tropes were included for seemingly no reason.

I hope they hang from the rope they tied themselves in.

Sure it's not perfect and also think "modern" political, gay and lesbian themes could have been avoided. The amount of swearing wasn't either to my liking. Gameplay could be better and the time I spent traveling on a big cities without finding the place I'm supposed to go next was frustrating. Also some item hunting was annoying. But the conclusion was satisfactory for Dreamfalls for now if playing until the end. There was also characters that got fleshed out nicely: Enu (glad she survived in my playthrough being a mystery for me until finale) and the star of the side-kicks Crow. So I'm sure kickstarter would collect at least 1 million - twice the amount that was asked. That would sadly probably be too tiny budget for a game like this without external funding.

I had no major performance issues / hiccups even though the game makes the fan to whirl quite fast. Well I think GTX570 is still decent.

I would love to see TLJ Home someday. I would gladly back it. But indeed, I would hope for it to be a better game than Dreamfall Chapters.

DCh is a good game. It's a little too little for and end to the entire saga; also, it really got too ideologically involved, with harm done to the artistic side of the thing. Art is to delight people, not convert them (I reckon).

If they can get Sarah Hamilton to voice April again, I will back it as well. No chance of backing it with a different voice actress, unless she sounds really like Sarah.

[Sanely Idle]

I would definitely back it. They should at least give it a go now that the final chapter has been delivered. Interest levels would be at their highest about now

If I'm not mistaken Sarah Hamilton did not provide the voice for April in Book 5. She is, also, not listed in the closing credits. In fact no actress is credited with providing April's voice.

I, too, think it would be great if she returned for TLJH, but I'd probably back it anyway. (For me, the crucial ingrediant is Ragnar and, considering his recent comments, that's probably not going to happen.)

[reboog711]

So, I would back a "The Longest Journey Home" Kickstarter without a second thought. I enjoyed TLJ more than Dreamfall or Dreamfall Chapters. Ragnor is a fantastic storyteller, though.


Red Thread will probably have to fight to keep that name; because a different point and click adventure is called The Long Journey Home": http://www.daedalic.de/en/game/The_Long_Journey_Home

Dangling the carrot of "Lady Alvane", the old lady (storyteller) who is the older version of April in TLJ, and then not completing the story of how they got together (Kian's sexuality also being an issue there!), nor explaining how they killed April off in Dreamfall, is too cruel. They have to make at least one more that ties these loose ends up...

I agree that Lady Alvane is in fact April Ryan reborn as Saga, later known as Lady Alvane but during the game she seems completely unaware, something that makes no sense as Lady Alvane know that April is visiting her. Really strange.
