Didn't take long for antoher to turn up: The Oliver Twins wants to make a new Dizzy game, Dizzy Returns. Barring one or two remakes for modern platforms, this will be the first Dizzy game for twenty years and will be an original new game, not a remake. Will also include a retro mode with 8-bit graphics and the classic difficulty level.
Requires £350,000 and will be developed for PC and iOS to start with.

Whether this one makes it or not is up in the air, I think. I'm a bit pessimistic actually. The problem here is that Dizzy hasn't remained a well-known brand for all these years but has faded into obscurity for all but retrogeeks like us. I think £350,000 will be hard to reach for something most people don't know what is anymore. I think they should have aimed lower. Then again there might be retrogeeks like us aplenty that want to see a new Dizzy title, so I might be surprised. Will be interesting to see how this develops.

I saw that mentioned today on a site somewhere. I wondered how long it might be before a proper Dizzy was attempted again (rather than those lame handheld ports recently).

Dreamfall Chapters was added to kickstarter today. If you've been following gaming news, Ragnar Tørnquist has been talking about this follow-up to The Longest Journey series for a while, and that he would go to kickstarter for most of the funding. And here it is.

So it's obviously a sequel to Dreamfall. And from the looks of it will play exactly like it did, third person adventuring with three main playable characters. So no going back to its point'n'click roots I'm afraid. Still, it's a good story they've been telling in the previous two games, I'm interested in seeing the rest. Has almost $90.000 of its $850.000 goal in the first day, no doubt this will get made.

They already arrived to $175,443.

Yeah, turns out I was early in saying they had $90.000 in the first day. In the end, they hit $400.000 in 24 hours! I think it's safe to assume now that this is a thing that is definitely getting made.
