Chaos Coin Patreon Reward Announcement

Dear Insane Children, 

Here are details for our next Patron Reward Goal!

When we reach 2000 Patrons we'll send out a physical Chaos Coin to all Patrons at the $35 level or higher (at the time the goal is reached and the pledges are collected for that month). 

Ownership of a real Chaos Coin means your name (as approved by us) will be digitally embedded within a unique virtual coin placed in Alice: Asylum. Coins will be placed all around the game environment and linked to an in-game collection mechanic.

Viewing your name in-game will require finding your coin and examining it via an item examination interface.

This is a unique way for you to make your mark on Wonderland.

Coins will be delivered via express mail in a beautiful collector item box and coin bag. 

As of this posting we have only the "chaos" side of the coin rendered as not-yet-final concept artwork. The "head" side of the coin will feature the Cheshire Cat's unique face and smile.

Please join us in working towards the final design of the coin and our reaching of this exciting next goal. 

Chaos Coins will be available for sale after this reward offer has been reached but we expect prices will be increased significantly. 

Here's the actual coin front and back...

Comments and feedback are welcome below. We'll keep an eye on this section and respond in the weekly live streams.

Chaos Coin Patreon Reward Announcement

Comments

Oooh, I procrastinated and misread the rules. Is the 31st (today) the last day a pledge gets a coin, or is it too late?

I was wondering this as well.

Hi, I'm italian. Sorry but I don't understand english and I use google translate. Exactly and with poor words, how can I have this that I received via e-mail?

So, when I get a patreon for 35 $ now i will get the coin?

Glad the goal was reached, very excited!!! Cant wait to get a coin :)

I just joined the $35 level as I got an email that said August would be the last month to get the coin. It says I won’t be charged til September 1. So with my first charge being in September will I actually get a chaos coin and the digital in game coin or am I too late?

It took me a while but I am finally on board with this idea. I will not miss this opportunity. Quick question: which name will be on the coin in game? Will it be a name we will submit via a survey? Or the name we have on Patreon?

Hi! I'm writing to say that I enjoy and loved playing the game!! as far as the coin thing, i just put in 1 dollars and not the $2 tier option?

Usagi-Berry

So my only question is when it comes to our names being embedded within a unique virtual coin does it have to be our LEGAL name??? Can it be our ARTIST name??? Either way I am defiantly doing this, just curious.

Hello developers of this great saga of Alice Madness Returns, I have a question, the game that are developing average how much they calculate that will come to light, because I really am very excited to play it again and know how it ends

Yes. Everything is shipped with tracking.

American McGee

Hello! I was wondering if you'll offer some sort of tracking number for the shipment?

Oh, okey I have it clear now! Thank you!

So If i'm supporting with $1 now, i can change my pledge to $35 after the 2000 patreon goal or i need to do it before to be in? Thank you very much! You are doing a beautiful work, i really love Alice games!

We ship EVERYWHERE in the world. Shipping is included in the $35 pledge.

American McGee

Hello, I'm from Argentina. If I support $ 35, can I receive the currency? Or the shipment is limited to EE. UU? I love your games, you are an incredible creator. It would be a shame not to be able to receive the coin.

Hola, soy de México y me gustaría apoyar, solo que tengo una duda, la ayuda es en dólares o en pesos mexicanos, me supongo que es en dólares pero aún así pregunto. Enserio me gustaría apoyar, amo esta saga, me fascina, y he investigado acerca de ustedes, por desgracia no hay mucho sobre out of the woods, pero las ilustraciones me matan, y hay muchas más cosas que me encantan de ustedes. Pero si tengo esa pequeña duda

My Patreon is set up as a monthly subscription to help support the various projects we're working on. You can pledge any amount from $1 to $1,000,000 and that amount will be charged one time each month around the start of each month (1st-5th of each month). Our current goal/reward is the Chaos Coin. It unlocks for all Patrons who are processed for a pledge at $35 or higher when we have 2000 or more Patrons. As I write this we have 1,273 Patrons. If it is your goal to "game the system" and get the Coin for as little as possible then I recommend the following: Set a pledge at $1 right now. That increases our Patron count and moves us closer to our 2000 Patron Goal. When you see us hit 2000 Patrons adjust your pledge to $35. After you've made that adjustment wait until the next payment is processed. Then adjust your pledge back to whatever level you're comfortable with. Once you're pledged at $1 you'll automatically receive Patron updates - and I'll be sure to send out a notice when we hit 2000 Patrons so that everyone knows to adjust their pledges accordingly. I know there are a lot of you out there waiting for 2000 before pledging. But I guess we could hit 2000 Patrons in short time if all the fence-sitters would pledge $1 right now.

American McGee

Hi! I've been a fan ever since the first game. I'm a bit confused about the "how to get the coin" mechanics. My understanding is that I need to donate $35 when the project reach 2000 Patreons right? So I could donate 35 bucks when it hits or nearly hit 2000. I really wanna donate, really, but sadly I don't have that much money to keep up the monthly membership and I would love to have the coin. Thanks! More power and keep up the good work :)

Material: Copper interior with nickel plating. You need to have pledged (and paid) $35 in the month where we reach the 2000 Patron goal. We don't know what month that will be - but we'll get there a lot faster if everyone interested would pledge a minimum now ($1~$5) and then wait until we reach 2000 Patrons. At the moment we hit 2000 change your pledge to $35. Once you've been processed for that month at that amount you can reduce your pledge (or keep it the same for 2 more months and get a free art print as well). Yes, we can deliver the coins everywhere in the world.

American McGee

Hello, I am a fan of the game series Alice and very happy that there will be another series of games. I really appreciate that. Unfortunately, I learned about the patreon recently. I read your post about the chaos of the coin, did not quite understand a couple of nuances, I would like to clarify them. What material are you going to make a coin from? To get the moment you need to pay 35$ in June or in July? Is it possible to deliver coins to Russia? Thanks in advance for your reply.

Hello, i love Alice games and i'd like to have that coin. The problem is that i live in Spain. Could you send it there?

+1

Love ur Alice!)))

What is this patch you speak of and how can I get two?

im liking this idea alot! feels very real and establishes a physical connection to the player ! also, is there an update to the patches? :o

axel rose

It's metal. And it's heavy. We made coins like this for Pirate Jam. They measure 4.5cm across and weigh 28g/1oz. As to the specific metals, I believe it's copper on the inside with a nickel plating on the outside.

American McGee

At this point, I mostly want to know what material you are thinking of using for the coin. Personally I would prefer some type of metal so the coin has a weight to it.

So excited for this! Btw, replaying Madness Returns and still LOVING it!!

What an honor to be part of one of your amazing games! Been a player since 2000 !

While I won't have the money for the coin, I still have the patches to look forward to. Hopefully they come around before Gen Con. Cheers to you and yours American, keep up the good work.

Can't wait to see the Cheshire Cat side! It will be such a nice keepsake and way to be apart of the game!

Codie K Conklin

i'd also live the Queen pic as a Print it's gorgeous i already have a room started so i can hang it lol hopefully it's chosen

I think ill stick to the 5$. Im not wealthy yet.

Saleh Abu-Rashid

I would really love to get one of these coins but will they be shipped to all Patreons as I live in Australia?

I think the heart is overwhelming the chaos symbol, and unless the queen of hearts plays a significant part of the game the coin could do without the heart, or maybe just have a shadow of it in the background or be a tiny heart in the middle. Looking forward to it!

Hi, I think you only have to be in the $35 tier during the month 2,000 patrons are reached.

Is there a minimum number of days or months we must have been patronising the project on the $35 tier to qualify for having somebody's name on a coin by the time 2,000 patrons are reached? My sister somehow loves the previous two games even more than I do and I want to try and get her a coin and her name in the game as a birthday present, but I can't afford the $35 tier for more than a month.

Maeve!

Hello! The deposit should be every month or I can donate 35 dollars one time and I can get a coin?

Right now it's far too early to know (both numbers of coins and coin collection/location method) and it would be purely guesswork.

American McGee

For sure you'll be able to choose a name, as long as it's appropriate (not too rude or too long for example) But we would also have final say on what you chose.

American McGee

That would be beyond amazing if we could chose a location or something of the sort. I would have mine in a place that just happen to catch it in the corner of your eye and then once you notice it (meaning its in clear view) your like.. "Well s*** how the f*** am I going to get that one?" So that its just there taunting you. I would love that.

I love the costume idea. Not many games do this. It was really cool to see in AMR.

These are going the be a limited run. Every coin will represent a coin in the game with the same personal markings on them as the real coins. In other words I dont think there will be a buy afterwards option. That way it remains something special to those how helped out. Please help! Join the $35 tear today!

Hello Mr. McGee. I was wondering if we get the choose our name or will if be our name that is on our Patreon profile. I would really love if we could submit a name. I also think numbers and special characters should be allowed so as to make them ultra unique. Also I lie @Alice Ari's idea too. P.S. Thank you so much! ♥

what would you guess how many coins there will be in the game? hundreds? are they to be found everywhere by the wayside (like the teeth in alice 2), or will every coin get its own tiny (possibly hidden?) spot in the game world? like the collectable memories or snouts in Alice 2?

Hey American, did you say on the live stream that you were shadow banned by Twitter? Is that still happening?

Love this idea!!! Can’t wait to see how it progresses!!! Will be moving up to the 35 pledge when we get closer to the 2000 as I can’t afford to do it at this time sadly. Perhaps making it so when you find all the coins you get a special in game reward like a piece of art or a costume etc.

Super stoked for this!

All sounds fair &amp; great to me! Onward to 2000!! ヽ( ・∀・)ノ

Signed up! Can't wait for the coin😍

thed4rkestrose

Oh sold. Just signed up.

I can't wait to see what the actual coin looks like. I'll probably buy afterwards since it'd be nice to have a handful of them.

V--R

I know I need to save money right now but I personally feel it's worth it to me.i'll up my pledge to $35 a month. don't tell my parents. Remember they stole madness Returns from me

Lucas Severin

This is an amazing idea!!! Can’t wait till the goal is reached. I just became a patreon today and will stay in the $35 pledge as long as I can! Thank you so much for designing the game, The Alice sequel is definitely my favorite game. Keep up with the good work!

BTW! I was the "super chat" person last night (GreyJedi) asking about this months art print! You said for us to comment on what we'd like next and I would LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE one of Omri Koresh's artworks that you displayed a few blogs back! Specifically the "Queen/Mask" illustration.

Now that I can see just how much dimension can go into these coins, I believe this original design (minus any lens flares) will be amazing! The heart and chaos symbols won't get lost as long as the coin is layered like the coin in the above example!

Will definitly move up from 15 to 35 for that and likely stay there for the poster art etc. Money should allow it once we get closer to the number of patrons required. Super excited can't wait for the goal to be reached!

I don't think the coins "need" to be collected in the game. It's if you want to collect them. For me, as a gamer, I LOVE to collect everything I can in a game because only then do I feel like I finished it. However, I also can't stand games that don't have enough content for me and have me completing the game 100% in 8 hours. I like my games to be 30+ hours of play time to get that 100% completeness.

These coins are an amazing idea, and the best reward I've ever seen for a Patreon goal. The whole idea of having a personal coin in the game is really cool, and it'll be an honor to be a small part of one of my favorite gaming series.

FifthDream

I upgraded my pledge today from $15 to $35 and I will stay at this pledge as long as I can :) can't wait to see that coin ^^

St. Thomas

That seems like potentially a lot of in-game coins that need to be collected. I have no idea what the current percentages for each tier are, but if say 1/4 of the subscribers are at the $35 for that goal, you're looking at 500ish in-game coins. That seems excessive to me.

my fiancee told me that my coin should be a bitch to find because thats just fitting for me i obsess with collectibles and love when i find difficult ones lol

Soo on board for this *.*

This awesome!!!

These coins will be such neat mementos (even if they don't come with all that lens flare, the lasers Lulu suggested, and stuff). I look forward to being one of *those* patrons who jump up to $35 for the one month before settling back down to my current pledge.

So amazing to have your name within the game, so looking forward to the final design :)

In your specific example. As long as you're at the $35 level during July's pledge collection, you would get the coin. So yes, you got it right. :)

American McGee

Woah I'm gonna need to raise my level. My birthday is this saturday so i should have enough money. Here's to hitting 2000. It's so cool how you involve the community so much during the production See you at stream -bye

I adore this! Amazing work guys. I'll keep backing you while you keep producing the goods 😍

Just to get this absolutely clear: If the goal is reached, say june 15th, if I then raise my pledge to the 35$ one (so it will be charged for july), will I still get a Chaos Coin? Or do you have to be at the 35$ tier when or before the goal is reached? Just wanna make sure, so I don't miss out! (:

Absolutely love it!

No wonder why Alex is putting so many details in his design: Just look what you make him compete with!

Make Nine Inch Nails great again

I'm so in love with this!! Hopefully I can get my next paycheck before the number of pledges needed are hit so I can upgrade in time... Although I have a question about it.. will the names that appear in game be the ones that patrons show on here? Because I am mid name change and would hate for that to be the case.

That is a fantastic reward! &lt;3

I love this concept a lot, I can't wait to see the final design :) now I just need to upgrade my pledge!

What an amazing reward!

This is some next-level support for the fans, thank you and keep up the incredible work! :D

This entire concept is just absolutely brilliant. No other feedback aside from just wanting to thank you, American and Martin, for your continued hard work and allowing us all to be a part of Alice Asylum. You chaps are absolutely nailing it on all fronts.
