History
Red Thread was founded in September 2012 by Ragnar Tørnquist, creator of The Longest Journey and Dreamfall sagas, and the The Secret World and Anarchy Online universes.[1]
On 1 November 2012, Tørnquist announced that the long awaited sequel to Dreamfall was on its way from his new development studio[2] after obtaining 1,000,000 NOK in development grants from the Norwegian Film Institute for the pre production of Dreamfall Chapters.[3]
On 8 February 2013, a Kickstarter campaign was launched for Dreamfall Chapters: The Longest Journey which closed at USD$1,538,425, almost doubling their goal of $850,000.[4]
On 29 May 2013, Red Thread Games was granted an additional 1,500,000 NOK (~$250,000) from the Norwegian Film Institute.[3]
On 30 October 2013, RTG announced that they had begun working on a new game titled Draugen, a first-person survival horror set in the 1920s Norway. The development has been funded by the Norwegian Film Institute with a grant of 850,000 NOK (approx. $144,000).[5][6]
