Hatter Explains - Eyes, Hearts, and Brains

Dear Insane Children,

We recently shared the latest Major Update to the Design Bible here and on various social media platforms. The feedback has been 99.9% positive - and no surprise... the latest version looks wonderful!

But I did see a few comments along the line of "so many years and not even a screenshot of the game!" or "too much art and and no demo?!?! SMH!" Well, I don't want people wearing themselves out with unnecessary head shaking, so I was thinking we could address these comments during our next Live Stream...

LIVE STREAM TIME! 

We'll host another live stream over on Twitch and YouTube this week. The usual place and time. Wednesday, April 28th at 7PM for those of you in PDT... 

You can join us via my Twitch or YouTube Channels...

Hatter Explains

Another person doing some explaining... Hatter! He's telling Alice all about The Brain, Eyes, and Heart "Hero Pieces" that she needs to collect in order to escape from Wonderland. This beautiful illustration (main image, above) was initially sketched by Norm and then painted/colored by Omri. Amazing work together! 

Let us know in the comments below what you think about all this explaining. 

And be sure to share any questions and feedback you have in the Comments below. We'll read and discuss those during the live stream. Yay! 

Plushie Dreadfuls

We will also have some new Plushie Dreadful prototypes and designs to share... like this updated version of "Shy"

Awwww. Isn't she cute? 

And More!

And lots of art, design, and other fun to share... with prizes! 

Like this sketch from Adam depicting some additional memories we'll explore with Alice. Wow! 


From Shanghai with Explainations,

Love the shy design, I’ve been a patron for over a year and I don’t care how long I have to wait for a demo. I know a lot of work goes into what you guys are doing and I like just seeing the process and getting a chance to voice an opinion. So thank you!!! And much thanks for all the merch I’ve gotten so far! I need all the plushies!!

I'm not sure how art prints work? I am on the tier where I should get one a month? I did get the bunny and bag (thank you, it's really cool, and soft too) but no art print for April. I'm still new to Patreon so still trying to see how this all works. ;)

This would be an awesome art print!

Shy bunny is... innocent. It looks like something I would buy for my kids, not for me. Sorry, just being honest.

This is awesome. Would be nice to see more demo.

A very good image by Norm and Omri! I love the classic blue dress and Hatter’s outfit in this one. Question: how often will we be playing with the classic dress?

The Hatter print needs to be a prize/Patreon reward! And shut up and take my money for Shy! I think the print is perfect as-is and I would proudly frame it and hang it on my wall. I have a few to frame actually! What's funny is I told Adam Savage's team on his Tested YouTube site that I pay American $75/month as a Patreon for prints, plushies and the Chaos necklace as a reward. Also that I want to play the game! They were amazed that people would pay that much when they, at most, charge $10/mo. They were impressed at the fandom lol. But I give Adam his $10/mo so he should not be too jealous lol

I need the plushie!!!!!!!

Please make the Hatter Explains print a reward / sell it!

Love the whole Hatter picture! The sketches are looking awesome and the plushie is adorable!

I think no demo at this stage makes sense though the art could easily be adapted for use in a teaser trailer or a proof of concept cutscene. I like the Mad Hatter drawing, especially the size difference between Hatter and Alice. I like the slight bend to some of the furniture in the background and wonder what it would look like if it was more exaggerated; framing Alice and Mad Hatter like the world is bent to hear what he has to say or is as unhinged as he is. I also like the detailed hints at his creation of the Jabberwock. Shy is very cute! I really like the super long ears and cuff. At the moment she kinda reminds me of Pikachu with the yellow and dark cheeks (though it could be my monitor). I wonder if a creamy or peachy yellow or a lightening or even blending of the cheeks (possible airbrush) would help to separate them in my mind. I also like the buttons, it would be cute if you could make them with hearts or if there were a couple smaller buttons around the paw hearts to make it look like a heart shaped paw print (or white snap buttons so she can hug). I really like the composition of the memory sketches. The first two have really nice figure sketches and set the scene; the third one has an interesting perspective, similar to a doll house; and the last one tells an interesting story. Again everyone, well done! I'm looking forward to the livestream!

All aboard the hype train!!

The main image is amazing, and I second the hope that it will be an art print! It would look great framed next to my other Hatter one.

Hmm I guess that had crossed my mind but I know things take time and I know a demo will come in due time. *Question: If and when a demo is created, what would be the distribution method? (What level of patron)

I hope that image can become a print. That in and of itself is an amazing image.
