Farewell to 2021
Added 2021-12-29 01:11:44 +0000 UTCDear Insane Children,
The crazy year that was 2021 is in its final moments. And our team - like many of you - has been taking little bits of R&R between holiday events and spurts of Wonderland-inspired creativity. And behind the scenes... there's a lot going on. But we're going to save the major updates until the start of 2022... only a few days away now.
Due to the holidays and timing of various announcements... there will be NO Live Stream this week. But we are planning one for the week following (6th of January, 2022) and it'll be a BIG one.
We'll talk about our plans for Asylum in 2022 - and how we're going to push to finish the Design Bible. We'll also talk about work we're starting that actually takes place inside the Unreal Engine. And (hopefully!) we'll be able to share that big news I've been hinting at... (turns out the deal wasn't 100% finished, hence the delay). I've been told it's expected to be done any day now (take that with a grain of salt due to holidays).
Do you have hopes and plans for the new year?
Predictions on whether it'll be an improvement over 2021 (or worse)?
One thing I know for sure in my house... is we're having another baby in 2022. We're hoping for a girl but won't complain if we get another boy. Whatever physical form it takes... this child will be born in the year of the Tiger. Lucky's a Pig. Yan and I are Rats. Quite the zoo! But I've been told that Chinese tradition says Tiger + Pig is a good combo. Who knew?
Let us know in the comments below your thoughts for 2022.
And we'll be back soon with a big update post containing all the fun stuff you can expect from our team in the new year.
Oh, and Martin wanted me to share this month's art print:
This is "Alice Meets Cheshire" and will be sent out to everyone charged at the appropriate tier for December (the charge happens at the start of January). What a beautiful image!

I hope we have a ton of surprises for Alice Asylum and OZ Adventures and more for 2022 from American McGee ps will we get more 3D models of Alice and the other characters when the design Bible is finished we like to know if you can't answer that question we understand
2022-01-01 17:11:22 +0000 UTCHappy New Year, American! Looking forward to the livestream on the 6th. It'll be a good way to start 2022. My main plan for 2022 will be getting in shape. I'm not going to hold my breath on 2022 being an improvement over 2021. We all thought that 2021 would be better than 2020, and we were disappointed. I'll either be right, or pleasantly surprised. That is some amazing art right there! Don't know if it gets said enough, but you've got some amazing artists working for you!

2021-12-29 21:56:38 +0000 UTCCongrats for a tiny tiger π― canβt wait for the news, in my opinion itβs a great way to start a new year so I do mind the delay! Personally 2021 has been a pretty rough one so pretty much anything on 2022 will be an improvement π
2021-12-29 12:46:23 +0000 UTCCongratulations American!! I remember i was born in the year of the Dragon (88), which i always thought was cool just for the fact of...well, its a dragon! As for ye'old 2022, i plan to finish my Animation Lightbox desk so that i may learn to make traditional 2d animation, mostly inspired by Don Bluth with a hint of Anime, and also what ever creative endevours manifest is always something to look forward too! Wishing you all a happy new year and i cannot wait to hear the news!

2021-12-29 10:14:17 +0000 UTCI'm really happy we are getting so many new Queen images as well she was sort of vague I'm mind but she has solidified over the course of these story bits+
2021-12-29 03:23:52 +0000 UTCI can't wait for the announcement! Happy new year guys!
2021-12-29 03:23:02 +0000 UTCWooo Iβm excited
2021-12-29 01:36:48 +0000 UTCcongrats! for me, 2022 is about taking better control of my "to do"s including hanging more awesome art (including a few prints like this one!)
2021-12-29 01:26:45 +0000 UTCWaiting for this big announcement is killing me. I'm so pumped. π

2021-12-29 01:24:02 +0000 UTCAlso, is there any appropriate channel for those of us who can contribute some concept art? I think you said somewhere that it wasnβt really needed but Iβm asking just in case
