American McGee Shows Off Little Red Riding Hood Concept
American McGee posted this concept image, painted by two artists from the veteran developer's Spicy Horse studio in Shanghai, on his Flickr account to share a game idea he's hoping to sell: Little Red Riding Hood with an axe thirsting for wolf blood.
"[The artwork] depicts a scene from a game concept I'll be pitching at this year's GDC," explains McGee. "If we're lucky, an interested publisher will help us move it into production. It's an idea that [Spicy Horse art director] Ken Wong and I have been toying with for years."
This isn't the first time the Alice developer has thought of featuring Red in a video game; his 2008 episodic PC game, American McGee's Grimm, featured a chapter devoted to the fairy tale character. She's also appeared in several other video games in recent years, such as The Path, Fairytale Fights, and Little Red Riding Hood's Zombie BBQ.
McGee posted uploaded another concept art image for the Little Red Riding Hood idea last month while again mentioning that the game needed a home so that Spicy Horse could build it alongside Alice 2.

McGee has been full of shit since Alice was made. His narcissistic act of putting his name on something even if he has little to do with it, (Scrapland) is pretty annoying.
Also Bad Day L.A. was disgusting.

Also Caoili, you only posted this so you could mention Little Red Riding Hood's Zombie BBQ.

@M Henderson
His name being on everything is due to the publishers he's worked with. EA thought it was a marketable name, especially since all the guys from Id were like rockstars at the time. Everyone he's worked with since have followed suit.
