Ragnar Tørnquist plans Kickstarter for project in near future

Tørnquist isn't leaving Funcom, however. He'll retain his advisory role as The Secret World's creative director while his new studio, Red Thread Games, ramps up production on Dreamfall Chapters. Tørnquist said Chapters will not be an online game but a "single-player PC/Mac adventure game through and through" on his Twitter account (the series began on PC with 1999's The Longest Journey).

Funcom has licensed the intellectual property to Red Thread in exchange for some of the game's revenue, though the studio is independently funding production. Tørnquist told Rock, Paper, Shotgun he plans to begin a Kickstarter for the project in addition to a $175,000 preproduction grant from the Norwegian Film Institute.

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and was formerly a staff writer at GamesRadar.
