The folks at RPGVault have conducted the first online interview with Game Director and Writer Ragnar Tornquist as he talks about Dreamfall: The Longest Journey, the long-awaited follow-up to "The Longest Journey". According to interview, the game is scheduled for release in the latter half of 2005. Here is an excerpt:
Jonric: How would you describe Dreamfall in terms of an introductory summary for our readers? What kind of gaming experience will it provide, and to what does the title refer?
Ragnar Tornquist: Dreamfall is an action adventure game in the truest sense of the word, with plenty of action and a whole lot of adventuring. We've taken inspiration from a bunch of our favourite games on the PC and consoles including Eternal Darkness, Silent Hill, Resident Evil, Knights of the Old Republic, Shenmue, Prince of Persia - although there really isn't one game out there that you can point to and say "that's Dreamfall". In that sense, it isn't easily pigeonholed; it's not a carbon copy of the latest hits out there. It's an amalgam, I think, of game elements and genres that we love, mixed together into something that feels unique, original, and powerful. That's hyperbole, of course, but we're honestly excited about what we have. We think it's going to turn heads.
As for the title, Dreamfall refers - literally and figuratively - to the fall of dreams... but I can't get into any specifics yet. We're keeping the story under tight wraps, although I can promise that you're in for a very unique and thrilling experience.
