Bumby Brand Wheel Grease
Added 2021-07-01 03:03:37 +0000 UTCDear Insane Children,
Wheels on your train squeaking, creaking, and making noise?
Why not try "Bumby Brand" Wheel Grease?
Guaranteed to work on even the most stubborn squeaks.
Throw a bit of Bumby under your train today.
And enjoy the sweet silence of squeak-free wheels.
Choo- Choo!
Excellent illustration from Adam (main image above) depicting Alice shoving Bumby in front of a train. This is the last of the "memory scenes" we'll do for the design bible. I've really enjoyed these. How about you?
Speaking of memories... Omri put some finishing touches on the Tree of Imagination. Original drawing was done by Joey. And the final illustration turned out great. Love it!
And there's new stuff in the pipeline. Alex went through and pulled a ton of new tasks from our recent narrative overview updates. Those will turn into sketches soon - and I'll share them here. Like this latest update from Norm for Alice's encounter with Bill the Lizard. We've turned him into a bad-ass boss fight. Eek.
Let us know in the comments below what you think of these latest updates. And we'll discuss your feedback during the live stream next week. Yay!

The only thing I like more than that advertisement for "Bumby Brand Wheel Grease", is the art showing how it's made. Absolutely amazing!

2021-07-02 12:06:53 +0000 UTCLove all the new artworks in their various stages, as usual nothing but perfection :).
2021-07-01 19:56:49 +0000 UTCI love the Bill bossfight scene!! I wonder how he ended up to be a villain, but it is a welcomed change! :)
2021-07-01 16:27:44 +0000 UTCI see Austin has already hit on a suggestion I too wanted to make. As colorful and gorgeous as the Tree of Imagination is as presented here, I’d like to suggest something more subtle. What if the Tree is just a small, ordinary tree near a river bank, in short the location from the start of the first book? For the player it might be a subversion of expectation and for Alice this could be the point where all “imagination” (and adventures in Wonderland) were born from. The tree as shown in the film version appears to be an invention of the Disney movie, but there’s nothing to say a tree wasn’t there and I think it connects to the pop culture subconscious where we all think of that as how the story started.
