PROJECT INFORMATION
Alice: Asylum is a proof of concept, large-scale, AAA potential video game project, currently in pre-production. Created by legendary videogame designer American McGee (Doom, Doom II, Quake), it is billed as the third potential video game in American McGee’s Alice series. (American McGee’s Alice released 2000, and Alice: Madness Returns released 2011).
Working alongside American and his projects for years, Alex was one of the first designers engaged on the Alice: Asylum pre-production team. Starting off as a member of the core creative team, Alex has since progressed to become the lead designer for the game’s core presentation document, the Design Bible.
He handles all graphic design, branding, and pitch presentations for the project, working closely alongside the Game Director and other art team members on the project.
Alex is also heavily involved in project management, narrative structure, game design, weapon + enemy encounter design, internal art direction, art task briefings, and workflow systems. Alex is also a physical merchandise specialist, changing his working hat consistently within the team to meet the needs of the project as they arise.
Alice: Asylum is currently seeking approx $30 Million USD of funding and backing for development, to turn Alice: Asylum into a fully-fledged AAA video game release. Potentially for all main Playstation, XBox, Nintendo and PC gaming platforms.
At time of writing, the documents Alex has designed have been presented to Netflix, Amazon, Apple and various other large video game publishers around the world. Many are biting, many are interested, but none are yet to sign on the dotted line to fund Alice: Asylum.
At time of writing, Alice: Asylum has NOT YET secured funding for development.
The work to make something special continues regardless.

An ambitious, detailed, and wonderfully complex game design document in the making.
PROJECT INFORMATION
The Alice: Asylum project has been made possible by the support and funding of Alice’s legions of fans worldwide. While EA Games has been reluctant to assist in greenlighting the project officially, American McGee’s Alice fans have been clamoring feverishly for a new installment in the videogame series for years.
The collected work to get a new Alice game rolling is being undertaken by the small team dotted all over the world, contracted by Mysterious Studios under the direction of American McGee, all on a shoestring budget.
The aim of the project is to complete an entire “Proof of Concept” document, that includes all game design, concept art, story, and narrative in one cohesive and enjoyable document. It is as close as you can get to playing the game, without it actually being a game.
Alex has been heading up the design and layout of the Design Bible document. It is currently a work in progress, but progress has been revealed and shared on all Alice: Asylum social media channels as they become available, and so far, much to the delight of fans around the world.

PROJECT INFORMATION
Alex originally joined the Alice: Asylum pre-production team as a designer, lending his talents to the creation of in-game concept art to be featured within the Design Bible. With a clear affinity for baddies, here is a selection of his work from within the dark halls of American McGee’s macabre Wonderland.
