At highest hour, Forgive the lengthy silence.  The trip to Shanghai, though awesome in all ways, kicked my toucash in a most serious fashion and I spent most of last week in bed with the flu.  I’m pretty sure I got it from the Romanian guy on the plane on the way back.

But that’s not important right now.  What you want to know is… how did it go?

I am delighted to report that the rumors of what Alice: Madness Returns may or may not be have been greatly understated (if we’re talking about the rumors that said it looked incredible).  Having played through a number of levels, I can safely state without reservation that this is going to rock your face off in a most sincere fashion.  (That’s the last I’ll say about that for a while

And for the interviews?  They went very, very well, but we will not be releasing them until after the first of the year.  Before I hear all of the boo-hooing, rest assured that I have something else in mind for you between now and then.

A few “something elses”, actually.

First, we are very close to releasing our first interactive book from Spicy Pony for the iPad, a Japanese-flavored tale called Akaneiro.  I will be bringing you some juicy details from that very soon, including a short podcast of the first few pages being narrated.

Second – don’t forget about the Costume Contest!  You only have through next Monday to get those pictures submitted!

And, we have yet another Twitter feed you can follow @spicy_horse.  @TheWhiteRabbit is only for Alice-related things, but @spicy_horse will be for all things within the studio – and there is more out there.  Just you wait and see.  ;-)

Finally, we will be making major changes to the Spicy Horse Art store very shortly, including adding some new Alice imagery.  Don’t click just yet!  I’ll let you know when.
