TLJ is my favorite game. I've just finished playing Dreamfall, which is now my second favorite game.  But are they coming out with a sequel? I kind of like that a story about everything being circular and there being no endings essentially has no ending, lol -- but I'd like to see what happens next. Also, it's been years since I played TLJ, and I didn't replay it before playing Dreamfall. Could someone please give me a brief synopsis about April's situation? That is, not the actual plot and action and all that, but -- why was April emotionally damaged? I seem to remember it was something to do with her father....and what EXACTLY did she do to restore the Balance? I don't mean the minutiae of her actions, but the gist of what she did. TIA!

Do a search for the last 3 years on this forum and you'll find some comments about the gameplay and storyline. Check here and sequel and TLJ3 and Ragnar. I didn't find an ending discussion per se. They might be inserted in other thread.

Thank you, Bubba and MaG. I did do a search before posting this, and while I found threads they weren't about what I was asking about. I don't know how to search 3 years back, though -- the threads that came up for me were all from 2009. I will check the threads you linked to, MaG. Thanks!

This is what Tornquist wrote in his blog at the end of february 2009: Nothing major is currently happening on Dreamfall Chapters. The people who will be involved when it does happen - myself included - are tied up in other projects, primarily The Secret World. TSW will continue to be my (and their) primary focus for a while longer…but that doesn’t mean nothing at all is happening with Chapters. It just means that it’s not (at least not officially) in production - for now.
It’s still very much on my list of priorities, however, and while I can’t make any promises regarding time frame, it is going to happen. There are just too many people asking too many questions for the project to lay dormant for long.
To repeat what I’ve said before (and add some new titbits - and keep in mind that this is not official in any way, shape or form; I don’t speak for Funcom here, only myself):
There’s already a story - or multiple stories, to be more precise - in place. It’s going to pick up right where the last one ended. (It will even rewind a bit and take a look at the events in Dreamfall from a different perspective.) It will follow several different characters, both old and new, and there will be more overlapping paths and storylines.
Chapters will mix puzzles and exploration and conversations and mini-games and action, though the combat will be completely revamped and won’t feel like typical action-adventure combat (or be completely broken). I have some cool ideas that I think you’ll all approve of (even those of you who abhor fighting; mixing puzzles, problem solving and good, old fashioned violence - and avoiding QTEs). It will look and play and feel like an adventure game, but a modern one: it won’t be point-and-click but it won’t use the focus field either, at least not in the same way. It will be third person. In terms of controls, it will be like Dreamfall, but with tons of tweaks.
Yes, it’s going to be episodic and you’ll need to be online to get it and possibly to play it (sorry; piracy is an enormous problem for us and Dreamfall suffered massively because of it). As well as being available for Windows (and I would hope, at least in the long term, Mac) I’d love to see it distributed through Xbox Live, PSN - the Wii Store, if at all feasible. It’ll be the kind of game that can and should appeal to a diverse audience and thus would benefit from broad distribution in all channels.
And yes, it will have a proper-and-final end to it (sort of) though you may have to wait for The Longest Journey 2 (Dreamfall, at least in my head, wasn’t TLJ 2) for the conclusion to every single storyline. I hope Chapters can keep running for a good while, since there are tons and tons of stories we’d like to explore before wrapping up that part of the TLJ universe. Big stories and small stories from every corner of Stark and Arcadia…and beyond.
But like I said, for the time being, there’s no (big) (official) news regarding Dreamfall Chapters.

How did you get everything being circular out of Dreamfall? I didn't see that at all.

In the unlikely event that any of us will live long enough to see the next version of the TLJ saga(s), I recommend that we keep our old computers handy that can still run the original release, or else FunCom will be able to make even more money by issuing a re-mastered version of it. That may turn out to be true of Dreamfall too. Not that I've become cynical or anything(!), but it seems to me that even NASA projects get planned and launched faster than what FunCom does.

Cocoa, that is an RPG game and can be discussed in the DarkSide forum if you wish to start a thread there. Ana
