Just received the Alchemy and Vorpal Blade! Those are gorgeous! I can't wait to frame them. Now all that's left is the signed canvas poster :). If these all looked great, I can't imagine how awesome that one is going to look!
Creator Nian 4 days ago
Oh BTW, How/When do I get the ingame backer items and pets?
Creator Nian 4 days ago
Got the Lithographs the other day, damn they are amazing, wish I ordered more.
Can I? :)
Creator RocK_M on May 11
@Cory: Nice! :D My copy of signed Alice just arrived yesterday as well! Can't wait to get the rest of the posters, litho and artbook! :D
Creator Cory on May 10
Just got my Wake Up Alice, Gryphon, and Lake of Tears signed lithos. They are gorgeous! If these look stellar, I can't wait to see what the Alchemy Vorpal Blade, and the signed Akaneiro Poster look like!
Creator Knight Tails on May 9
@Ian Most likely, I got mine in two separate packages. They arrived on the same day though.
Creator Ian Wolfe on May 9
I got 3 of my signed lithos. Queensland Gate did not arrive with them and I was wondering if that was shipped seperately for some reason?
Creator American McGee on May 9
@Knight, glad to hear you like them. We tried to find the biggest and highest quality we could. How to hang? Going to have to leave that one to your imagination and skills :)
Creator Knight Tails on May 9
@American @Ophelea Just got my signed lithos today. They're bigger then I imagined but they look absolutely amazing. I am at a loss on how I should hang them though. Any tips and/or suggestions?
Creator American McGee on May 8
@Eric, Point taken. I've taken a moment to update Steam/Greenlight with an actual "news" item. Thanks for pointing out that we were neglecting that feature. Will try to keep it in mind going forward. Thanks! :)
Creator Eric Schwarzott on May 8
You said you've been posting regular updates to the Greenlight page, but I am "following" on Greenlight and haven't heard a peep in months because you evidently only post news in the comments section. Just happened to go hunting for info today since it's been so long since any news about things other than rewards.
I get if you don't want to flood with news (though less of an issue on Greenlight since it doesn't email people, just puts stuff in their Steam activity feed), but something important like "we are delaying the Steam launch" or "We are hoping to have it out this month" seem post worthy.
Creator Hka on May 6
Hello, I was wondering when will we receive the in game items (golden inugami, ...).
Creator American McGee on May 5
@Austin, we've been posting regular updates to the Akaneiro pages over on Steam. The basic message is that we're working to make sure the game is as good as can be before launching to Steam. The reasoning is that the audience on Steam is a lot more demanding and expectations are higher - when compared to Kong or SpicyWorld. We're hoping to push Akaneiro to the Steam "Early Access" program during May 2013 - then to a final release some weeks after that.
We appreciate your understanding and support.
Creator Austin Yun Liu on May 5
So any news on the steam release? its been almost 2 months since the game has been released and i havent touched it because i dont want to download and then have to uninstall when the steam version comes out. Im almost at the point where im just gonna call it quits on this game because so many other games are out like metro last light or resident evil revelations
Creator RocK_M on May 1
*cough*
I hate it when ppl bring up that "we're broke - no wait edits!" thing. For craps sake *ANYONE* who read the intial page could have fgured out that the KS was using a conversational tone instead of "we need munies halp!"
And then here comes a certain popular website/blog w/ a chip on their shoulder and insinuates *scams! LULZ!* and it sticks. =/
Creator American McGee on April 30
@B Pa... Not sure why you'd want to bring the topic here instead of continuing to engage on Facebook where it started, but OK. First off, never once did I or anyone associated with the Akaneiro campaign say "we don't have money to finish the game..." We were clear from the start that the game was done had been in Closed Beta for months - and we launched the game in the middle of the campaign.
As for DRM, as I said in my response on Facebook, I too agree that DRM is bad. It punishes honest players and doesn't deter pirates in a meaningful way. What concerns me is that developers can't even raise the issue of piracy or wanting to protect themselves without suffering the sort of backlash that you're illustrating so perfectly.
As you might have noticed when you backed (or played) Akaneiro, it is an "always online" game which requires you to connect into our servers so that we can support things like cross-platform/device connectivity and multiplayer features. Does that make it bad? Another thing that concerns me is how online games are now being demonized as if "online" is some new form of evil DRM.
I'm not sure what EA or Activision really think about all this other than what I can read in the news - like the recent article where the head of Global Publishing at EA came out and said he too believes DRM is bad and that EA won't continue to use it. If that's what they think, then yeah, my thinking isn't too far from that idea.
Creator B Pa. on April 30
First of all, I'm sorry if anyone consider this Trolling, but with a single Status on Facebook Mr McGee lost all suport I had and would have given him. For someone who had come to kickstarter with (a quickly edited and deleted) "we don't have money to finish the game, please help me", he was too quick to defend the Always Online DRM a clear way to attack consumers and little effective to protect your product. For one who's all against activision and EA he's surely not far from their line of thought. Alas I had already backed Akaneiro and really liked the Alice M.R. game. My coment will acomplish little here, but if it helps open the eyes of ONE person it had done its job.
Creator Chris Kemper on April 26
I am very much looking forward to the Android version being ready so that I can greet for the first time my Golden Inugami, Steam-inspired Karakuri Gaben, Clever Huntsman’s Axe, and Little Red Cap’s Hooded Cloak. :)
Creator Jose Disla on April 24
@McGee, If we start playing the game now. Would we be able to carry our characters over to Steam? Some of us hasn't start to play because we don't want to start over again once the Steam version comes out. Any official news on how this is going to work? Thanks.
Creator Azukaos on April 23
I have a question about my pledge, a few months ago i have pledge 12$ for the early bird tiers and it's said on the page it's supposed to be delivered in april 2013, will i receive my item or email soon ?
Creator American McGee on April 22
@Evan, We're trying to tune a few things before we put on Steam where a more finicky player exists. I don't have a date for you but we're working as quickly as we can.
@Austin, No, not all of the signed items have gone out yet. A whole bunch more go out this week though.
Creator FifthDream on April 18
I just got my signed Alice: Madness Returns for Xbox 360 in the mail. I hope Mr. McGee didn't roll his eyes too much at what i wrote for him when he signed it. XD It reads:
"For [My Name],
I created this game
just for you! You're
my hero.
American McGee
P.S. Not true at all!"
http://www.fifthdreamtoday.com/images/alicemr.jpg
Thanks so much! I'm so happy to have it.
Creator Evan Adams on April 18
When is this coming to Steam eh? Wasn't it scheduled for the end of February? I'm waiting until then to play the game >_<
Creator Spyke Alexander on April 16
@Jose: That's the same boat I'm in. I haven't played the game at all as I don't want to restart if that's required when I play it on Steam. I just hope I haven't lost any of the freebies or rewards I have by waiting.
Creator Austin Yun Liu on April 16
Has the all the Signed items been mailed out?
Creator Jose Disla on April 13
@Rock_M: Yeah figured as much but at the same time hoped that's not the case. Since the game asks for an ID and pass to log on. I thought maybe it would be the same in stead and take the same information. Our luck it's a different server and I need to start over from scratch. This is why I haven't played the game yet since I'm waiting patiently for the steam version.
Creator RocK_M on April 13
@Jose: You will probably need to DL a steam version. The client is a stand alone and judging from the few MMO's and other games I've grabbed/repurchased from Steam. That version normally has its own client version because of the need to integrate it to Steam Works
Creator Jose Disla on April 12
Okay if you're holding off on the Steam version that's cool just as long as you give us a heads up when it'll be out;) However, if we download the game right now from your site. Would it be compatible with the Steam version. Or would I need to make a new account for the Steam version?
Creator Jason on April 11
Any ETA on the tablet version (or even the beta)? Also have the signed posters shipped out yet?
Creator RocK_M on April 10
@Kasy: ARGH! xD I'm still waiting on mine! I keep checking the mail box everytime I get back from work and its empty... make me a sad sad panda T_T
Creator Kasy Powell on April 9
Just got my signed Alice 360 game. Thanks so much!
Creator American McGee on April 8
@Everyone, based upon a lot of feedback we're holding off on Steam until we get some features implemented. Steam players are pretty particular and the last thing we need is a poor Steam launch. As soon as I have a tentative date, I will let you know. - Ophelea
Creator Echoboom Apps on April 8
Go go go guys :) almost done. I also just began my own kickstarter project Dogfight Elite :) wish me luck!

Creator Austin Yun Liu on March 24
@Jose yea I haven't touched the at all since I'm waiting for the steam version
Creator Jose Disla on March 21
@Austin - Waiting patiently too for the steam version just like yourself hehe.
Creator Austin Yun Liu on March 19
How long until the Steam version of the game is release?
Creator RocK_M on March 16
@Alexandra: Karma crystals are for purchasing Shinigami scrolls from the Shammy Mart. It's pretty much a res scroll from the looks of things so it's not like your missing out on much you can still use karma to ressurect in a stage. I've also checked w/ the mods and you actually earn them automatically for logging in every day.
Creator Alexandra on March 16
What are karma crystals? I thought there wouldn't be any elements that were inaccessible if you didn't put down money.
Creator American McGee on March 5
@Andrew, Next week...
@David, You had two accounts, I've combined them.
@Enetirnel, Please use BackerKit.
Creator Enetirnel (Alice) on March 5
For signed items or messages/names within the game, do we have to specify that via BackerKit or will it be organized via e-mail?
I've put in for a signed PC copy and I saw the follow up question on BackerKit but wasn't entirely sure how to go about it as my husband has also separately put in $500 for a message to be included in the game and I know he was wondering when e-mails may go out or if we should send in an e-mail regarding them as the custom message inclusion wasn't listed on the development plan.
Creator David Elmer on March 5
So, beforehand my BackerKit showed both my PayPal pledge rewards, and my Kickstarter pledge rewards, but now it only shows the PayPal stuff, and I can't seem to figure out how to get the Kickstarter stuff back :x
Creator The Great Goblin - Weresheep lover on March 4
Is there an ETA for Grimm?
Creator American McGee on February 27
@Jose, We're trying for some time in March.
Creator Jose Disla on February 26
Any word yet on when this game will hit Steam? I know it's in Greenlight. Just want the game under my library like all of my games;)
Creator American McGee on February 21
@Benedikt, Once you are in the game, hit X for options, then enter the code where it says "Gift Code."
