End of the Adventure…

The day before yesterday still set the link to a new Alice video on youtube, then today the posting of McGEE on Patreon. I would have expected more from EA, some solution via EA Play, there should be enough mad`s for Alice out there. I’m sorry for McGEE and his Insane Children. 🙁

It looked so good…
On February 14, 2023, the Alice: Asylum Design Bible v1.0 PDF was released. It was promptly announced that Virtuos Games had been secured as a potential development partner.

The Virtuos team had already created a development budget, schedule, and pitch outline for the development of Alice: Asylum, based on the content of the Design Bible.

In an this estimated forecast, Alice: Asylum needs approximately 50 million USD to secure the full development budget. This does not take into account marketing or additional licensing and other costs. Mabye too much for the leek who had to decide that at EA. 😀

ALICE: ASYLUM DREAM DIES

After several weeks of review, EA has come back with a response regarding funding and/or licensing for "Alice: Asylum"

On the question of funding, they have ultimately decided to pass on the project based on an internal analysis of the IP, market conditions, and details of the production proposal. On the question of licensing, they replied that "Alice" is an important part of EA’s overall game catalog, and selling or licensing it isn’t something they’re prepared to do right now.

Alice: Asylum is at an end and McGEE’s involvement with “Alice” and game production in general is also at an end, so sad.
