voyage to mars

Friday, December 10, 2004

Milestones aplenty these days: there's one today, and then, conveniently enough, another one next Friday. At Funcom, we don't just encourage progress, we enforce it. Today we have a few more features and a couple of more locations implemented, while next Friday sees everything tied neatly together with Actual Gameplay. Which means that, by Christmas, a solid chunk of Dreamfall will be playable from A to Z-- well, to 'G'.

Speaking of Chrimbo, I've picked out some art today that might (emphasis on might) go on the website in a couple of weeks. Dreamfall-dot-com hasn't received much love lately, so it's about time. Expect a piece of concept art (or two), and quite possibly a beautylicious screenshot. You deserve it. ¶ 09:19

In 2 weeks being christmas eve, and two concept art pics and a screenshot being jack all, I sure as hell hope this isn't the surprise that was mentioned.

Otherwise it'll be like the christmas I was looking forward to a lump of coal and I got a David Hasselhoff CD instead.

... but most of us will still love you even with just screenshots and concept art, at least for a while, Ragnar.

I'm not saying some in-game footage wouldn't be nice, but we've only got less than a year to wait now (unless your schedule slips, the Balance forbid!), so we'll be patient. Moderately so, at least. <sheepish grin>

Given how rare adventure games of TLJ calibre are, most people will patiently wait for _anything_ Dreamfall related, as long as we know the itself game is coming.

However, if you pull a LucasArts and yank the sequel to a much beloved game... well... Have you ever read Stephen King's 'Misery'? Yeah, like that, only for an adventure game.

just kidding by the way...
...kind of

...seriously though, don't pull a LucasArts...

tbh it doesn't fit the criteria of the special christmas thing-a-jig which I think it a teaser video.

well, at least something)) It's not like Christmas present's urge - it is really about time))

I think i'd lap up anything Dreamfall related - i've waited too long not to. Plus the concept art already on the website is spectacular, another piece or two surely couldn't hurt.

No, it sure wouldn't. It would soothe the excruciating pain of waiting, actually ;).

But seriously. I'm also happy with anything Dreamfall related. As long as there'll be no more long gaps between the updates. Although I won't complain, since in the end I'm sure you and the team will give us a great game, Ragnar :).

To any complainers, I should point out that three images means three times what we saw last Christmas :)
