As the page states, “So, to the 6 of you following so far, what say you to a Kickstarter in say… July of this year to fund the third Alice game? Thoughts?”

McGee previously talked about licensing the game from Electronic Arts, if they were interested, and then funding the game via Kickstarter in a way similar to Akaneiro. It’d be interesting to see the response, given how Alice: Madness Returns didn’t exactly rub gamers the right way when it released in 2011.

Though there other factors at hand there, it would be great if Otherlands returned to the original’s fantasy horror bent of mind.

“EA owns the Alice franchise, so to pull off crowd source funding would require some innovative licensing and legal acrobatics all-round. That being said, if EA’s willing to license us the IP and the audience is willing to back the production, we could end up doing something quite historic.

“With all the negative press ‘big corporations’ are getting these days, there could be a win-win in here for everyone – EA benefits from appearing to be flexible, a developer (that’s us) gets to work on something they love and the audience gets direct involvement in a development with the possibility of showing the world what happens when indies and fans take the reins.

“We’re seeing this work wonderfully with Akaneiro – I’d love nothing more than to now apply that process and engagement to Alice.”

McGee describes the game as combining “the psychological and physical, allowing us to present Alice as a sort of mind hopping superhero able to invade Otherlands – the mental landscapes of people around her.”
