I love floating rocks. And I think they are really important when creating games like Alice: Madness Returns. So I was really happy to talk to @DomainDead at length on the topic in this video...

RJ Berg is a name that should be on the box alongside my own name with the Alice games. I suppose "McGee & Berg's Alice" doesn't have the same ring to it. But still...
While it's true that the concept for the Alice games was my own - and that the structure of the stories also derived from my work - it was RJ that brought those stories to life through framing and dialog.
RJ is credited on 38 games in total. And prior to Alice, he wrote and directed a series of games based on Sherlock Holmes where his penchant for Victorian era dialog was first put on display. He was an integral part of Spicy Horse (where we developed Madness Returns) - acting as lead writer for all of the "Grimm" episodes.
Beyond his role as creative partner, he is also acted as mentor to me as a young man. He helped me explore my childhood traumas through the story of the first Alice game while also serving as a father figure and guide to life and creativity.
What flowed from the Alice games was a story as much about my traumas as it was about the relationship and healing that came from my relationship with RJ. I owe him a debt of gratitude for that - and everyone who loves Alice owes him a bit of thanks for his creativity and contributions ❤️
I’d love to see my early work from DEVIL’S GATE get out in the world. I spent a year on just the esthetics for the movie. The art and philosophy for the story illuminated within this book literally became the movie. The script and the artwork walked hand in hand.
