I'm really, really excited to be sharing some awesome
Dreamfall-related news with you today. I've been sworn to secrecy by our PR department for several months now, but I've finally been given the go-ahead to make a couple of really cool announcements, so here goes:
First off, in addition to the PC and Xbox versions of the game, our recently established production office in Beijing has just begun development on a Nintendo DS version! Due for release (hopefully, fingers crossed, etc.) before Christmas, the portable version will be a classic 2D adventure game utilising the DS's dual screens to their full effect. The touch-screen will display the location and the characters in an isometric view, while the top screen will be used for dialogue, cinematics, maps, quest journal, and other pertinent information. The game will feature a unique and revolutionary 'point-and-tap' control system, our patented focus field feature, and even a voice recognition interface. The DS is the perfect fit for a classic adventure, and purists should definitely check this one out.
Secondly - and this is a biggie -
Dreamfall is headed to the silver screen! German auteur
Uwe Boll, the mastermind behind such classics as
House of the Dead and
Alone in the Dark, will write and direct the adaptation, which (for budgetary reasons) will be set in modern-day Berlin, and shot in Romania. It's still early, and the script is being written as we speak, but Dr. Boll is courting
Michelle Rodriguez for the role of Zoë Castillo, while April Ryan might be played by none other than
Milla Jovovich! The second I know more, I'll post it here, so keep checking back.
The official announcements will be made on Monday, but I just wanted to give y'all a heads up, just 'cause. Keep it real, people, and check back tomorrow for more breaking news!
