Why is a Flamingo like a License Proposal?
Added 2018-03-12 01:38:10 +0000 UTCDear Insane Children,
Progress! The ink is flowing, the words are flying, and we're inching our way ever closer to a new game. Even the weather in Shanghai seems on board - rapidly transitioning towards the warmth of spring.
Joey sends along a trio of amazing new images starting with our cover image - Alice and the Flamingo. I imagine the final rendering of this image will be spectacular and can't wait to print it in large format and hang it on the wall in my studio.
Next up... a nighttime adventure through the haunted mountains of the Chess Kingdom.
And a glowing pool of mystery presided over by a massive... sky cow?
I love seeing the locations of Wonderland being brought to life. But more characters are also on the way. Omri's most recent batch of Alice photo-manipulations will be the last (at least for a while). He's now focusing his abilities on the characters of Wonderland - friends and foes.
Expect to see some amazing new character concepts very soon!
Last but not least...
Alex is starting work on the visual elements which will bring together our license proposal document - the finished product being what's put in front of EA for approval of the entire "Alice: Asylum" business/development pitch. Alex is working to make this document beautiful and functional. It's something we'll be proud to hold up as our own and which should become a collector's piece in and of itself.
I hope to have this document finished around the time we're wrapping up Pirate Jam 2018 (mid-April).
Speaking of... I have only 2 weeks before heading back to Thailand to kick off that event - and a ton of planning and organization work still to do.
So... if you'll excuse me, I'm putting my pirate hat on and shivering some timbers!

2018-03-15 23:07:28 +0000 UTCI know I'm a bit late but I absolutely love that design for the logo! It looks like the top of large asylum gates, very fitting :D
2018-03-15 21:11:50 +0000 UTCI love the artwork, especially the Chess Kingdom. Beautiful!
2018-03-15 13:49:20 +0000 UTCThat Chess Mountains looks very Open World, Alice Open World would be a very appealing idea.
2018-03-15 02:31:51 +0000 UTCThe logo is amazing! I love the sharp edges and the integrated chaos symbol!
2018-03-13 19:36:12 +0000 UTCYES!!! I wanna' wack enemies and the Queen with the Flamingo! (Or just play some hedgehog croquet is fine too...) The art? Jaw-droppingly gorgeous already as rough concepts! Can't wait to see them in their finished state! And the logo... Perfect. Tattooable. YES. <3
2018-03-13 02:04:30 +0000 UTCI'm wondering about the chess world... Thoughts come to me of the White King and the small role he played in AMR.. He could play a bigger role here. Eg: in Through The Looking Glass, it's discussed that Alice is only a thing existing in his dream "suppose he woke up, where would you be then?" I think that would be able to add to the Denial and she could have that inner dialogue of whether or not she or anything else is actually real.. Thought for food..

2018-03-12 21:48:07 +0000 UTCThe new logo is great, Joey's stuff is great, Omri's stuff is great...how can EA ever say no to this!? I can't wait to see everything come together and I'm so excited for you to present it! <3
2018-03-12 20:42:55 +0000 UTCstrong hints of Horizon Zero Dawn in the sky cow image, but with fountains rather than flames
2018-03-12 15:38:34 +0000 UTCSo amazing to see the whole thing coming to life! One can start to mentally explore the areas. I really like the haunted woods of chess kingdom., it has a good mix of something familiar and foreign for the whole Alice setting. It looks desolate, but has a feel of "anything could be hiding in there". The glowing heads are an awesomely terrifying detail and I love the fighting/gladiator arena look of it.. Sh*t is getting dark! <3 Colour scheme on the first image is so lovely, I'm very excited to see the final render of it. I hope this means, you're doing the whole playing "golf" with the Queen or at the very least the use flamingo as some kind of weapon. It seems suitably silly for a 13 year old girl. And the logo.. Dude, it's perfect. It's gonna look awesome <3

2018-03-12 11:43:30 +0000 UTCLove the art, especially the chess road! Such open view fields would bring a lot of depth to the game and would make the world feel bigger and help us submerge more into Alice's Wonderland. Not quite sure if I dig the logo completely, as I feel there's too much detail cramped into it, but I'm sure it will be perfect in the end! <3
2018-03-12 11:03:59 +0000 UTCI love the logo, it is perfect! The cover look good, can't wait for it to be finished. And the chess kingdom is amazing! I love that picture, I want to have it on my wall! Please let there be a chess kingdom in the game, that would be so awesome!
2018-03-12 09:20:08 +0000 UTCSuch beautiful pieces of art!! I'm so excited about all this progress!! ♥️
2018-03-12 07:28:12 +0000 UTCThese are amazing. I honestly have a lot to say, though ill just stick with "The pictures are amazing, good luck wrapping up Pirate jam"
