Dye on the Throne
Added 2019-10-15 01:41:09 +0000 UTCDear Insane Children,
Fall officially arrived in Shanghai with "Qiu Feng" (autumn wind) which we felt strongly yesterday. It blew away the last remnants of summer's warmth and put us on our way towards winter. Brrrr.
I am not a fan of winter in Shanghai. It's a cold damp affair with very little else to offer. Another reason why I'm thankful that the tropical shores of Thailand are only a few hours away.
November to April are roughly the months of the Northwest Monsoon Season - during which cool dry air blows from the northwest (hence the name) over Thailand. This makes it an ideal time for sailing!
That's why tonight I am heading to Thailand to begin prep work on "Chaos" my 36' sailboat so she's ready for the sailing season and for Pirate Jam 2020. During this time I'll get her back into the water and start mapping out potential routes for our game developer pirates. Arrrg, matey!
You can learn more about Pirate Jam HERE.
Don't Panic
I'm only away a few days and will still have Internet so that I can stay on top of the usual work stuff. And Font Lord is in Shanghai keeping an eye on support tickets, PMs and your other requests/needs.
Our art team will continue their efforts on art and design for Anger/Queen's Domain...
Omri's put final touches on the Queen's Throne Room (main image above). He says he doesn't know if this is art print worthy. What do you think?
We've also seen some updates to the trains and stations for the Looking Glass Line. I like this more baroque look. And the Looking Glass sculpture on top of the train... well...
Let us know what you think in the comments below!
These efforts are bringing us close to the end of this pass on the Queen's Domain. When I get back we'll start work on the next area - Bargaining!
Mysterious Makeup
At that time we'll also review the progress Yan is making on packaging and design for Mysterious Makeup.
If you'd like to see the previous big update on her efforts you can check out the Livestream we did on YouTube HERE and HERE.
Your feedback on this work is really important - and we've got some great comments and questions from the community thus far. Keep it coming!
Yan says that we should have some physical production samples to look at by early November. WOo! Progress!
Font Lord Notes
Please note that there's still a bit of a delay on sending out Chaos Necklaces and Art Prints from last month. Again, we had a bit of a slowdown because of the Chinese National Holiday and the arrival of Lucky.
A lot of that slowdown has been with me (American) personally as I've struggled to balance all the work tasks and finding time to sign all those posters and cards. My apologies!
On that note, all of the "Alice Come Back" art prints are now in various states of transit towards you. I signed and packed the last batch of those yesterday. But there are still 140 items (art prints) in the shipping system which I need to sign and pack - when I get back from this trip.
Your patience and understanding are appreciated!

Yay!
Lucky & Lulu!
Here's a little Lulu toe-licking Lucky to brighten your day! Awwww!
Going to miss them both!

2019-10-22 20:31:30 +0000 UTCfor PET sheet B looks good! Dont want to overuse the art and have it double with A inside and outside.

2019-10-17 04:19:52 +0000 UTCIām just hoping these eyeshadows are REALLY pigmented!! Everything else is looking very nice, and yay for Lucky and Lulu!!!!! āŗļø
2019-10-17 01:13:17 +0000 UTCThe throne room looks gorgeous (especially the blood/red carpet visual), and I really like the train station. The card guards look a bit too mecha-styled still, but as Ina suggested, perhaps these are some special guys built by Hatter? Gears do seem to be more his aesthetic. Not entirely sure how I feel about that train mirror yet!
2019-10-16 00:36:28 +0000 UTCI want you to work on this to perfection. Like just the idea of wondering around in the beautiful Wonderland you create for us is amazing. I play Madness Returns just to walk around and look at Wonderland. If you could make it to were it's a open world and we could just be in Wonderland. That would be AMAZING š²
2019-10-15 12:53:38 +0000 UTCThe queen's throne room is definitly print worthy! The train and trainstation thing looks good, and I don't mind the lady on top of the train as long as she has a purpous to be there. If she is just decoration, I don't think she is necessary. I can't waitfor the makeup to come out! I'm not buying any brushes irl atm specifically so I can use the brushes from the Alice makeup set you're making. Have a good trip!
Definitely not Adam Driver
