With the beginning of the Alice Otherlands animation kickstarter, are talks with EA still proceeding for the video game rights? I know that you probably can't talk about specifics of, so in other words, would you be interested in setting both animations and a game in the Otherlands setting? It is something that has lit up my imagination with the possibilities. My initial preference was for Alice Otherlands but I was also a backer of Ozombie. I'm certainly backing this and best of luck to you and your team!

Fantastic :D I didn't want to pry that is all I wanted to know.

Another question if I may, you have worked with Alice, and there was the Ozombie concept which you have said you may return to in future, are there any other bits of classic literature that you'd be interested in reimagining in a similar way?

Of all the things I might have predicted you'd respond with, that was not one of them!

While I wouldn't have an issue with the adaptation of that kind of material I can imagine the amount of controversy such a project would attract.

Thanks for taking the time to respond to my queries :)

Another question while I think of it! Hopefully I am not too late.

This is on behalf of my brother. He is presently finishing a degree in sound design and music composition and what he would really like to do is either compose music, or do sound design (basically anything sound/music related) in games.

As someone who runs a large indy studio with projects like Madness Returns, what are you looking for when finding someone to design sound or compose music for a game? what could he do to make himself a better candidate for getting into the industry?

It is helpful, and it is affirming as well as I (and he for that matter) expected it to be that way and it is good to have that confirmed by someone who is working in the industry. It is also far more helpful to have responses like this than something sugar coated. There is always the fact that there simply isn't enough dream jobs to go around.

Sorry, perhaps I'm asking questions out of my depth, he is the musical one (while I'm the scientist) so I'm thinking my question probably wasn't focused enough. Certainly we aren't expecting that he'd land into dream jobs off the bat, but I thought I'd ask advice on his behalf while I had the opportunity.

One more question related to what you said about the art department. I have seen the most amazing concepting for both OZombie and Alice: Otherlands, is there a possibility of getting some of this amazing artwork in wallpaper friendly resolutions like 1920 x 1080? Or perhaps purchasing posters? Particularly some of the artwork depicting Alice in well known minds like Edison and Van Gogh.

Thank you again for taking the time to answer questions!
