In Fight Entertainment - Why is A:MR in the Top Ten!?
🕑 Added 2021-09-07 15:00:01 +0000 UTCDear Insane Children,
Did you know "Alice: Madness Returns" is in the Top 10 over on Xbox Game Pass?!
Totally insane! I just tweeted that EA might actually notice... if everyone jumps in and pushes it into the #1 slot. So... got Game Pass? Jump in and give it a shove!
Narrative Outline News
A huge THANK YOU, to everyone who read and provided feedback on the Narrative Outline. We've collected tons of feedback and are really happy with the results of this process. A couple of points to take away:
1) Your feedback is GREAT. Lots of good points were made. Much of it aligned with things we already planned on addressing or improving. Quite a few suggestions related to things like foreshadowing and plot development made a lot of sense. And we will be incorporating a lot of your feedback and ideas into the next revision.
2) The Narrative Outline is now in the hands of R.J. Berg, my writing partner on the first two games. He's tasked primarily with "script doctoring" and dialog. And he told me this morning he expects to have his first round of notes/suggestions done in ~2 weeks.
3) The Art Team will begin working on tasks related to items contained in the Outline that we feel comfortable will be in the Design Bible.
Art Team Tasks
Alex has put together a massive list of art tasks related to the Outline. That document is attached to this post. BUT BEWARE - THERE ARE SPOILERS CONTAINED WITHIN!!! Do not open or read that document if you don't want to encounter spoilers.
Without ruining anything, I can tell you: That document is 23 pages long and contains 140+ individual requests for artwork. These are necessary to illustrate the Design Bible. And we expect that the work will take 3~6 months to complete.
While that work is underway, we will continue to refine and work towards completing the Narrative Outline. With the Narrative Outline complete, work can resume on the Design Bible itself. Woo!
TLDR; Expect to see a ton of new art flowing through the pipeline soon.
Like the awesome image (top) from Adam depicting the boss battle between Alice and the Jabberwock.
From Shanghai with Top 10,

It is in GamePass Ultimate where EA games are included and unluckily not for PC only for Xbox
Game Pass for Xbox!! Checken on the Windows Xbox app and it's not there :c

If I had Game Pass, I would definitely help with that. Great that it's already in the Top Ten!

This is SO interesting to see how you actually work, step by step, on the game. Huge thanks for sharing all of this with us!

I loved A:MR! Trying to play through the first one now, still early on and loving it!!! Love the A:A narrative and cannot wait to see the revisions! I was blown away by the entirety of it! I am happily envious of everyone with art skills that can envision these scenes and create them on paper/digitally/etc! Exciting!!
I don't own Xbox, but I did play on ps3 and got all trophies including American McGee's Alice. I enjoy the story and it was alot of fun.

Waiting for New weapons design🙏❤️❤️❤️

I don't have Gamepass but, A:MR always has been in the top ten for me, just behind AMA.😋

Just don't let EA buy... the game will suck. I hate EA now. 😤
Sadly I don't own an Xbox but I've been playing Alice Madness Returns on Origin! 😆 I'm about 40 hrs in bc I keep dying bc I suck 😅 lol! This is usually not my type of game (I usually play The Sims or Animal Crossing) but I love your take on Alice's story so much I decided to take the plunge. I love it so much and the graphics are soooo nice!! Even though it came out in 2011! 😍 Anyway, I'm very much looking forward to Asylum. I'm so happy to be a part of its creation! However minimally haha 😅
