The Walls Are Closing In
Added 2020-03-27 08:13:33 +0000 UTCDear Insane Children,
American here with a quick note...
I just spent the week picking, packing, labeling, and shipping out a huge number of art prints. Pretty sure that was the single largest batch of orders ever to be sent out the door at one time. Woo!
Big THANK YOU to Yan's mom for helping me with all that plus juggling Lucky. Yay!
BUT... wait...
Before we get too excited. A couple of things:
Closing Borders
China just closed itself off from the outside world. Like - literally - you can't fly into China now. They limited all countries to only one (1) incoming flight per country per week - and that's only for essential/emergency travel situations.
Since all the planes will stop flying IN that means... a lot of the packages we're trying to get OUT will just get stuck on the ground. We don't know how many because these packages take a variety of routes on their way to the world outside. Some via air, some via sea, and some via ground, air, sea and a combo of all three!
Our logistics partners are urging us to stop trying to send stuff until all this blows over.
At the same time, they are saying that the packages we're sending WILL get through... just much, much more slowly. Like 30+ days slowly.
So keep that in mind if you are waiting on an art print (or prints).
New Stuff
I do have some new stuff related to the Design Bible that I plan to announce in the next few days. Basically outlining how we're going to push to get that fully fleshed out over the next couple of months. And what that means for things like Crowd Design and our Live Streams.
Speaking of...
Live Stream!
Wew it's been a long time since we did one of those! And it's also something I have in the plans for next week. It'll have to be sans-Font Lord (Martin Sans) since we're still not allowed outside visitors in my housing compound.
But I'll figure out a way to get him involved. And you too!
Let me know in the comments below if there's anything special you'd like discussed in the next stream. Got questions? Ideas? Put them in the comments below.
But first... I need a bit of a rest.
From Behind the Great Wall of China,

Comments
I know it's way too soon, buy would it be possible that after Asylum, some day, we could get a continuation of Alice's story after Madness Returns, whether as a game or a book?
2020-03-31 14:35:31 +0000 UTCEverything sent is always worth waiting for :).
2020-03-31 14:25:00 +0000 UTCIs there any update on the possibility of porting Alice:Madness Returns on the nintendo switch?
2020-03-31 05:51:26 +0000 UTCWhich art print is this?
2020-03-31 00:42:42 +0000 UTCHow is the timeline looking? Will it be another year till we see any type of game models? with everything going I am just happy we can stay connected through this <3
2020-03-29 19:20:48 +0000 UTCBeautiful print π side note, I'm currently rewatching Helloween's playthrough of AMR and I'm just curious if the Carpenter will appear. He says that it's wonderful to see Alice again when you encounter him at the Dreary Lane Theatre, but he wasn't in the first game. Since Asylum is set before AMA (I think correct me if I'm wrong), do you think he will appear?
2020-03-29 08:44:07 +0000 UTCPerhaps calling martin by skype during the live stream? Or some video chat software.

2020-03-27 17:40:10 +0000 UTCI mean.... hoping/assuming this will be a print.

2020-03-27 16:23:36 +0000 UTCThis is probably my favorite print ever. I was starting to think I was getting too many prints, but... I have to stay long enough to get this one!

2020-03-27 14:03:30 +0000 UTCHi American! I am still waiting on the game ordered back in Dec. Is that coming from China too? Should I have already gotten it?
2020-03-27 12:06:20 +0000 UTCQUESTION/SUGGESTION: what if there were am option for character selection after the first gameplay? Ability to play as someone other than Alice?
