Why So Cranky?

This is one hell of a doll,very stylish 🖤👍🏻🧸👶🏻

I think the tarot looks amazing! It is really helpful if the cards have characters doing things, it's easier to read them that way. The Devil looks perfect, in my opinion.

I really love the nutcracker idea, but just like another Patron wrote, please don't give him an awful German accent. And I'm with Jessi on the idea with Christoph Waltz, he is amazing! SUGGESTION: I think he could shout commands and paroles to Alice which they used during war in this time, like a leader commanding his troups.

SUGGESTION: With Chaos Coins also included in limited editions, there may end up be 6-8 thousand of them. So maybe they could be split between the various levels of difficulty. Just in case, consider adding in the survey the choice, by order of preference, of the level of difficulty one would want their coin to appear in.

It would be really interesting to see cranky as a figurine or an actual doll for sale.

They answered on the stream last night that they are doing a full set

I remember the nutcrackers from the first game.

Having troubles myself there too. If I follow the link from the emial, it creates a whole new Discord account for me! I already have one, I need an invite link to the Wonderland server. Is that your problem too?

SUGGESTIONS about the nutcracker: PLEASE please i beg you don't let him talk in that awful, very fake German accent...Sadly a lot of people think Germans have to talk like that ->thanks to Hollywood....maybe you could get someone like Christoph Waltz to do it (just love him, he is such an great actor but okay i don't really know if he even would consider it...lol) XD

Jessi St.

Can anyone please help how can I connect to the Discord server?

Just wondering but will you actually be releasing a full tarot set? I don’t know sounds cool. I’d love to use an Alice style tarot deck. I’m a tarot reader haha you can always ask me questions about it.

Just wondering if this monster would be possible being as the teddy bear wasn't invented until 1902 or 1905 and this game takes place in 1865

I love eet

Nutcracker: "To properly (*sounds of nut cracking*) just point me (*more nut cracking sounds*) and with that you will beat any foe!"

SUGGESTION: Regarding the tarot cards, love them, really cannot wait to read with them. One thing I do want to point out is the back of them. Traditionally the back is the same if turned right side up or upside down. This is because some cards meaning differ depending on if they reversed (upside down). Having a mirror image prevents the reader from known in advance the card's position. Also symbolically the back should be rather plain with the main artwork being the face of the cards.

SUGGESTION: Since this is before Madness Returns, before Bumby hijacked the train, why don't we make a train for Alice? Except its not evil or in pieces yet. Mock Turtle can drive it and flies through Wonderland. At some point maybe Mock Turtle saves Alice and she gets on the train away from a big battle. And the train can look like a toy train she plays with as a child. Please PLEASE take this into consideration. I think its a great idea. I hope you guys think so as well.

I love Cranky as well. Especially since the Dollhouse level was one of my favorite levels. I also like the suggestion that enemies can be a bit bigger for Alice since she is younger. The nutcracker cannon is great but maybe not have him talk. I don't like getting distracted during combat and it can be QUITE annoying. However, I am absolutely loving everyone's suggestion that the nutcracker is an enemy first but then you take his head as a weapon or trophy. Very funny.

For tarot cards it might be a little difficult in how to in coporate the characters because of how many types of queens like the queen of cups the queen of swords. I suppose it's because I usually use the Spain edition and know how to read them. But I could suggest for the mad hatter to can be the card know as the fool. The whiterabbit could be the temperance, the caterpillar could be the hermit as someone who is wise. That's some I have in mind. It's pretty hard what characters to put because of the meaning when the tarot card is in reverse. So there is two meanings which is upright and reverse

QUESTION: Because she is so much younger in this game do you guys think you will make the enemies a lot bigger so they are almost towering over her? SUGGESTION: What about a jump rope as a weapon? SUGGESTION: I love the new look for the Circus Dress, maybe there could be a force smile painted on her face to symbolize her being forced to take her medication at the Asylum. SUGGESTION: I saw someone suggest a Chaos Bag and I love that Idea but what about an Asylum Bag/Purse? The bag/purse could look like it was made from a strait-jacket.

Loooooooveee iiiittt! Huge fan of the nutcracker (I used to collect them as a child) Huge fan of the SUGGESTIONS of the nutcracker being a boss that the head is the prize of- to that effect: SUGGESTION: maybe if he ends up being a prize after defeating him, his character in game would be reluctantly, if not sarcastically helpful (Kind of like an angry morty) along with the mouth being full thing Digging the tarot work. So hard. Yall may not know what you're doing, but you're doing really great! So proud of you!

Sarah Heist

Cranky the bear looks like an amazing boss and is beautifully disturbing. The nutcracker cannon looks interesting but it isn't particularly my favorite. The dollmarker makes a perfect devil.

_OMG Cranky looks awesome! Loved the idea behind it _The nutcracker cannon sounds great :) SUGGESTIONS: I was thinking it would be funny to have the nutcracker as a mini-boss and once defeated you get his head as a weapon to use for the rest of the game, so when the head talks it would say ironic/sarcastic/mocking lines... In any case, try not to make him annoying >___> QUESTION: What is all this tarot thing? Will there be tarot cards in-game? I still have to finish catching up with the livestreams so I'm clearly missing something here... But I will be (or try to be) in the next livestream, so I'll see you there! Have a nice day n_n

Whoa! That looks awesome. And I loveeee tarot cards!! will you be selling the deck at any point?

Quinchilla

Boy that Devil card is absolutely stunning!!!! Really like the weapon idea too, would definitely be a good addition to the game! And the Mini boss would give me nightmares for days (in a very good way)

QUESTION: why is it that when we first see the Dollmaker in Madness returns he has a pair of regular arms and yet in his boss fight he doesn't?

Lucas Severin

I so love the bear doll monster Cranky, it gives those doll house level vibes which is super appropriate for a young Alice. Also, the nut cracker projectile is my favorite hand-held long ranged gun-like weapon so far, looks perfect. A good replacement for the pepper grinder style of weapon. Right there with you about Bumby, the devil couldn't be more of an appropriate title for him.

Oh my, I LOVE Cranky. Would love this as a figure and a plushie to put on my shelves too!! Perfect for my evil dahl collection :D

I LOVE IT !

That cranky bear is just smashing! It's such a brilliant concept. I just can't wait to see all of the tarot cards! The art team is doing such a fantastic job.

I love Cranky! The tarot deck is coming along amazingly too! I can't wait until the cards are all done! QUESTION: Are you making minor arcana too (are you making ten of wands for example etc...) or just major? Either way they're stunning!

Oh I love the tower defence idea, it'd make a great minigame. Maybe it could have elements of Navi as well; it knows stuff about different enemies or the world you're in, but you can't always trust the advice it gives you.

Additionally, I have an unrelated QUESTION/ SUGGESTION. I'm from Australia (feel free to throw as many "G'day mates" my way as you like) so I always miss the live stream. I did catch the EU stream you did a few weeks ago...much appreciation for organizing that. How about doing this on a semi regular basis, perhaps alternating week to week or even once a month? Is that a possibility, so us aussies and the the EU people can interact with you guys live?

Cranky looks great...very cool concept and artwork.

Haha, Cranky is awesome! :D Perfect! I like the idea of the Nutcracker making comments. I have no proper knowledge of tarot cards, but this one looks creepy (in the good way). SUGGESTION: The nutcracker could be encouraging Alice like "yes, that's it, hit'em!" and maybe warning Alice, for example if there's an enemy behind her. Maybe give pointers on how to deal with the specific type enemy she's facing, for instance with the bolt flies in AMR, he could tell her to shoot/destroy their hives, and so forth.

HALF MAN!, HALF BEAR!, HALF PIG!

What a grizzly mini-boss!

I didn't dare say that patches in Asylum reminded me of the power-up system in Fractured But Whole. Fortunately, you mentionned Manbearpig :D

Make Nine Inch Nails great again

Yay an enemy design. It's awesome seeing the twisted creatures we'll be facing.

V--R

Yep, it's an very interesting idea, and it has a lot of potential utilities. SUGGESTION: May it be somewhat a comic relief? Like an enemy that, when defeated, becomes a weapon? So the chatter may be more joking than serious advising? That will also let us get several of these and let them behind as turrets?

Bumpy looks soo terrifying! Love it. Also completely in love with manbeardoll (haha yes), the doll stuff is something that I loved dearly from AMR. Hoping it to have half creepy and crumpy and half doll like high voice.

Wow, love the new devil tarot, and the nutcracker and beardoll design are so great ! Hyping viewing the stream!!!

I loove the nutcracker idea!!
