This may be old news but since I don't see any official postings here at GiantBomb, I thought I'd mention it now.
As of July 23rd 2016, Spicy Horse, the Shanghai-based company that made Alice: Madness Returns, had ceased operations. It's founder, American McGee (level designer on Doom and Quake), is now focusing on smaller indie game development using Patreon. If you like his work then I encourage you to support him here where he releases vlogs on a regular basis. He shares his love of sailing across South-East Asia and even making games in the ocean blue. Unheard of, I know!
I sincerely hope this is not the end of the Alice games, in which EA currently holds the rights to. The company's recent sequel of sorts called Alice: Otherlands was an interesting attempt but honestly not good enough. This animated continuation that features only 2 episodes (here's one of them) is pretty nifty in its own right but lacks any substance. Fingers cross that we will eventually see the continuation of Alice's journey in Wonderland in the near future, preferably in a form of a video game.
To all those who had worked in Spicy Horse for all those years, thanks for everything!
