Double the prints, double the fun!
🕑 Added 2020-08-06 07:16:54 +0000 UTCDear Insane Children,
Font Lord here with an exciting bit of news for you all.
You may have seen on our 'monthly art print schedule calendar' that the next print was undecided and there was a big ole question mark next to it.
Well, as you have no doubt figured out from the big pic at the top of this post, the next print we're doing is what has affectionately become known as Escher Alice.
So, this print is for all those charged in September at the $75 level and above and it will also become a choice for those who get to choose their print at the 3x$35 level too.
But we're also going to throw in a little extra for those at the $75 level and above (charged in September) you will get this print AND we're going to also throw a random print into your poster tube too. WOW !!
I know, right? A two-for-one offer you would be literally insane to miss out on!
The extra print could be anything from this list and indeed we might even choose to pop a print in from our Out of the Woods collection too. Such is the nature of randomness.
And now, a word from American...
Some of you have noticed that we removed a large selection of art prints and other products from the Mysterious Shop a few weeks ago. This was in response to biz dev conversations around "Alice." Those conversations are ongoing - and new conversations were recently spawned along similar lines - but our offering what appears to be "official" merch was causing some confusion so...
A couple of changes: We're adjusting the way we present art. No more "Alice: Asylum" logos on these art prints. And no more linking things we create (Kittens, etc) to any yet-to-be-released games.
I've said before, there's a fine line between original work, public domain, inspired by, fan art, and the legalities that revolve around these topics. We want to make sure we're staying on the right side of that line.
That means art prints will return to the Mysterious Shop - but without logos. The same goes for future art prints offered here on Patreon - no logos. And that means we have a pile of logo-having art that we need to clear off the shelves.
Hence the 2-for-1 art print situation.
Before any of you get Hair-on-Fire let me say: I've said before but it's worth repeating... if ever we hit an actual iceberg and it seems the "Alice" ship is sinking, you'll be the first to know. This is not one of those situations.
This is a situation in which nearly a year was spent chasing down a path towards potential funding and publishing... only to have that chase end abruptly. But we're back on the path we were on ... the one I actually prefer to be on ... and should expect to see progress now that's the case - and now that we have someone taking the lead on securing funding.
I really wish I could explain all of this in direct terms. It's not that complicated. But it sounds like it when I have to dance around the actors and events like this. Sigh.
Anyway, it's all good. Free art prints. Stuff coming back to Mysterious. And progress still being made with no icebergs in sight.
Now back to Font Lord...
Well, that's about it from me too actually.
So, I'll say bye now from a particularly hot and sweaty Shanghai :)
- Cheers

I’ve only received the Angry Bunny plush and bag. Barely cancelled membership
Wow looks like I choose the right time to become a patron 0.0
Glad to hear I can catch up on all those prints I missed
Great to hear about the business side of the game, though it is shrouded in limited information. It's all good, Im okay with it being a bit.... Mysterious.

This is super awesome! I really hope the RNG gods allow me to get one of the few prints I don't have!! Super excited for this.
Really like the Cheshire Cat in this poster :) .

See my reply to Roogna :(
American McGee
That is correct. However we're still unsure if any will be permanently gone. We hope not tho !

Hi there PM us :)

Hi there Font Lord here. I'm afraid that having a choice on a dual print month would introduce a LOT of chaos and headache behind the scenes, no matter how small the choice was.
I really thought the perfectly unbalanced art print was gone forever ;-; thank you for addressing it. In terms of the $75 tier offer, I think it would be better if we got to choose the extra art print in my opinion; or as someone mentioned above, create a top 3 list to avoid getting duplicates.

Am I understanding correctly that you will continue to use up your existing stock (with logo) for outstanding Patreon rewards? When they return to the store, will all of the historical prints be available, now logo-less, for purchase (or select for Patreon 3X$35 reward)? (Or were any of them permanently pulled regardless of logo)
Question, I am getting the red/black/white prints by Alex Crowley at the 3x35$ level. I already have four of them and I would like to have the rest of them with the Alice Asylum logo to match those I already have. Is it still possible?
Wendy Jaa
Ooh, free stuff!
Question, I don't have wall space for all the prints, so I've been selective about which ones I get. I'd like to support the special month offer, but I'm not wanting a duplicate of one I have or one I maybe don't care for. Will there be a way to say what our top choices would be for the random one?
American McGee
Yes, we will still take care of that part of the arrangement. We just can't continue to create that link going forward... at least not until certain other things get done first.

Question, those of us that already bought items like the Rabbit, Chesh, and Chaos Coin, will the DLC portion of our purchase still be honored?
