American McGee hits his Kickstarter target for Alice: Otherlands

Game developer American McGee has met his goal of raising funds for the 3D-animated short films based on Alice: Otherlands. In a Kickstarter campaign that closed on Saturday, McGee raised $222,377 from 3,389 backers, surpassing the minimum target of $200,000.

The campaign came down to the wire as it was still short with just a couple of days to go in the 20-day campaign. Now McGee will be able to create a series of short films based on his twisted vision of Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland. McGee created a third-person action video game, American McGee’s Alice, a nightmare version of the fairy tale published by Electronic Arts in 2000. It was a wildly creative title and it cemented McGee’s reputation as a creative force in the industry.
