Dear Insane Children,  We had a lively livestream over on Twitch yesterday where we discussed Alice: Asylum, played Alice: Madness Returns, had a look at Plushie Dreadful prototypes, and checked out new character concepts for Dorothy.  And we didn’t even get canceled! If you missed it (boo!) you can see the recorded backup over on…

Just throwing things out there and seeing… not what sticks but what inspires.…

But Omri thought that, based on the design work we’re doing for The Chess Realm, a new dress themed after that realm might make sense. So here we have (main image, above) a WIP concept for a Chess Dress. Interesting!  I’ve written some…

Dear Insane Children,  Well… here we go again… maybe?  We’ve been throwing around a couple of ideas to form the foundation for new exploration inside the world of The Books of Oz (14 full-length Oz books written by L.

Dear Insane Children,  In case you missed the live stream *live* on Twitch yesterday I’ve uploaded it over on my YouTube Channel. And you should be able to watch it in the window on top of this post. Yay for technology.  We played through Omri (and team)’s HD update to “American McGee’s Alice,” talked about…
