Spreading Chaos Around the World
🕑 Added 2018-10-16 07:10:51 +0000 UTC Dear Insane Children,First off, Chaos Coins are arriving with Patrons around the world. I know we told you to wait until the 15th before asking for a tracking link but it appears you really could wait a few more days. Literally every person who wrote to say they'd like a tracking link (now that it's the 15th)... is about 24~48 hours away from receiving their shipment. So, wait?
Still, if you are super nervous and dying for info, go ahead and send us a PM... Font Lord loves looking up your tracking info! :P
Meanwhile those of you who have received a Chaos Coin are busy posting photos all over the interwebs. Looks like everyone is happy with the quality and content of the package. Yay! So glad we could achieve this unique goal and deliver a quality product to everyone who supported. Wonderful! Thank you!
If you have any quality issues please just PM us - we're happy to send you a replacement if anything is damaged or contains a manufacturing issue. That also goes for anything else you receive from us - art prints, etc.
Uncertain how to get in touch ... just PM US!
Oh, and if you missed out on the Chaos Coin promotion here on Patreon, no worries... just head over to Mysterious and grab one there!
Livestreaming in the EU and Halloween Craziness
This week's livestream will be an EU special. That means all of our E-ewwww friends can join in without having to stay up all night! 7PM Hong Kong Time on 18th, October.
Hit THIS LINK to set a reminder over on YouTube.
While you're there, do me a favor, make sure you Subscribe to the channel, hit the Bell Icon thingy, and also, be sure to LIKE some of our recent livestreams. Apparently this sort of activity helps YouTube decide whether or not you receive a notification when you set a reminder. The "reminder" button doesn't actually do that! Go figure!
Speaking of livestreams...
THAT is a Badge of some-sort which is part of a set our good friend Jennifer D'aww is working on. There's a series of them, each denoting a different amount of time you've been a Member(?) of our YouTube community... or something? She's also done a HypnoBunny you can use to confuse and influence NightBot into giving you more prizes...
All kinds of crazy stuff going on! Did I say CRAAAAZY?!?!?!?! Get ready...
Chris Vrenna Livestream!!!
Our good friend and composer of the soundtrack for "American McGee's Alice" will join us on the next-next livestream. That's the one scheduled for 24th of October, 2018 (PST).
Get your QUESTIONS and SUGGESTIONS into the comments starting NOW so that Font Lord can collect those and prepare them for this special guest appearance.
Roger L. Jackson Livestream!!!
31st of October, 2018 (PST) - that's Halloween! - brings the man himself, the voice of the Cheshire Cat (and many of your other favorite Wonderland crazies) to the livestream.
Again, get your QUESTIONS and SUGGESTIONS into the comments starting NOW so that Font Lord can collect those and prepare them for this special guest appearance.
Hey, it's Halloween, of course I'm going to bring you some TREATS! :)
Treats?
Ka! Leggings!
If you've tuned into our livestreams where we're reviewing artwork from Joey, you'll know how much I love the onomatopoeia she draws into her illustrations.
Well, for those of you, like me, who can't get enough WA KA PA! We proudly present...
The WA! KA! PA! Leggings - these Jennifer-designed leggings feature the WA KA PA artwork of Joey and will give you a perfect belly button*. Impress your friends, confuse your parents! WA KA PA TODAY!
I think we should make it so when we hit 3000 Patrons, Martin has to wear this (and nothing else) on the live stream. Maybe a bunny hat too ;)
Little Nightmares
Meanwhile lots of new art rolling in... I can hardly keep up!
This image from Joey illustrates the concept of these doll enemies self-assembling based on whatever parts happen to be laying around. We discussed this idea in detail during the livestream last week. Hit THIS LINK if you missed that stream and want to watch it now.
Once again we discussed the idea (option?) of actually displaying these sound effect words in the game. I really like the idea. Some in the chat thought it would be annoying. What do you think?
Surprise, m'er f'er... Gonna FORK YOU UP!
These images led to much laughter and lots of brainstorming. Jennifer was even inspired to turn some of these characters into various t-shirts and apparel items (hence the leggings). Keep on eye on the Mysterious Shop for those things to start appearing.
And we talked a bit about levels and puzzles. Which brings me to...
The Asylum Wiki
With help from our community and specifically Magus and AsteriaVisual (go say Thank You! to them over on Discord) we're seeing a ton of functionality and content updates. The goal being worked towards now will soon enable us to have weekly design-specific Discord group chats where we can work through details on specific areas of the game design. This will truly bring our Crowd Design efforts to life. Exciting times!
Go CHECK IT OUT!
Patch Madness
The newest set of Embroidered Patches is nearly finished and will be delivered to our shipping partner next week on Tuesday. So, hey! We need to get those Patron number up in order to unlock that goal!
Spread the word among your friends, family, and pets!
Hmmm... Petreon... Woof?
Alright, see you all soon on the next livestream (or in the next post).
Let me know what you think of all this insane progress in the comments below!
From Shanghai with Woof,

Where can I email to ask for the tracking?
American McGee
It is, like many others, a day or two away. Arrived at your local post distribution center and will be out for delivery in the next 24~48 hours. Patience, please.
Still no coin over here :(
Adore the library artwork, Surprise is so creepy and love ratties so rat baddies are always welcome. Just love those leggings too!
Finally got my coin and the print looks amazing thank you happy to support keep up the great work!
Yay, EU live stream! It was all most weird sleeping all through the night, instead of getting up at 3AM for some note taking. Awesome post, I'll keep it short here and say that I'm loving everything! And I think there is a way to get Joeys soundeffects in the game, without it being obtrusive or annoying.
Chris Vrenna! Can’t WAIT!! 🙌
Patiently waiting. 😊
Kate Tildes
I got my coin today. thank you!
I'd say the sound effects text should be a toggled option, maybe something you unlock after beating the game (like how "Resident Evil" games give you an assortment of filters) but not in the main game itself.
V--R
Yeah I agree it would be pretty annoying to see the sound effects text appearing all over the place. Maybe if this was a superhero action game or something but for a horror/action/puzzle game like Alice it's definitively not a good fit.
Destiny Jenson
I'm trying so hard not to annoy the font lord. lol. My local post office sucks and packages get stolen where I live, so my anxiety is creeping in. 😨
Love the snake and ladders concept in the Library mirrors
Your last update said 10/19 so I've been patiently waiting. Still want a white rabbit. LOL
So much stuff! Yay! o(≧∇≦o) Wiki! Don't forget to mention how awesome Taylor is too! She helped out so much also. <3 I should be able to make it to the Livestream this time. The EU ones are more time friendly with my schedule. lol Hope to see you there!
Anna Lepper
I still think the wapaka sound effects would be cute, but ultimately should be a toggle-optional effect. At least to me it's a very comic-book oriented visual style and that doesn't really fit with our Asylum vibe. Yes, we're all mad here but there's also a meaning behind the madness. I'm thinking about getting a pair of leggings for my sister but I don't know if it would scare her little children too much. XD
To Roger Jackson what was your favorite line of cheshire cat
I love the leggings!! Soon I'll have a complete outfit by Mysterious.. what about some dresses? 😄
I CANT WAIT!!! :D!!!!!!!
a lot of stuff cannot wait
I look forward to getting my coin I LOVE the bat and rat! (much better than the other baby doll things). The library looks amazing! And the mirrors tie in nicely with one of the original stories.
RozaMay
Super excited about those leggings!!!! As for SUGGESTIONS: Maybe put them (Ka Pow Hi-ya) in as an option for a + game or just like subtitles have an extra option for graphic effects that way there can be a serious play through or a quirky play through. There were also suggestions of having them be included in a minigame, that way it's included but not part of the main story. Much love!
