Dreamfall Chapters: The Longest Journey was quite the exciting Kickstarter campaign when it was live. Like many other classic developers brought out of the woodwork, so to were the minds behind The Longest Journey. That modern adventure game series was incredibly beloved by fans and seeing it return was a huge deal. Of course, the project was an overwhelming success. When asking for $850,000, developer Red Thread Games ended up making $1.5 million. As far as everyone was concerned that was all to go toward making a PC version of the game. Now Edge brings word from the developers that Wii U is also on the agenda: “Nintendo approached us last autumn, immediately after Dreamfall Chapters was announced – they were, in fact, the first console manufacturer to do so. At that point, however, we weren“t ready to make any commitments regarding engine and platforms, so we decided to wait. We got back in touch with Nintendo in late May of this year, and they were very interested in working with us. Perhaps the most interesting thing working with Nintendo though is how interested they are in the gameplay details and how it feels, with regular questions, ideas, and suggestions which really help push the game forward. Aside from that and in more practical terms, we have had some remarkable support from them, ranging from free devkits to help us get the project started, to being given a stand on the Nintendo E3 booth to help us get noticed. It“s been a really comfortable – and fun – relationship so far.” Are you excited to see Nintendo pushing for more independent developers to bring their content to Wii U?
