Though Spicy Horse Games currently seems optimistic they will secure the Alice IP from EA to Kickstart a third game in the series, they apparently also have a plan b in place for a new game based on L. Frank Baum's Oz series. In a thread about their Alice ambitions on Facebook, a fan suggests "that Oz title instead, as Spicy Horse founder had an Oz game in the works a decade ago, but that project died when Infogrames (now Atari) pulled their support. The suggestion of the Oz game met with word that such a project is already happening to some degree: "It's already in the works." Joystiq followed up on this, speaking with Spicy Horse Community Manager Kelly Heckman saying this is in such early stages a genre has not yet been decided. She also indicates this is not the same game that was cancelled in 2004. "This is not, in any way, shape or form, the title from 2004," Heckman tells Joystiq. "It will be based on the entire Oz series – almost all 14 titles – so expect to see unique things not seen in previous incarnations."
