David Perry Considers Sequel

Posted on by

I don’t know if this falls under news or speculation…but Doug TenNapel has told me that he has remained friends with the other original members of the Earthworm Jim team too…there is definitely positive weight to this.

What I’m saying is they were willing to do it then, I think they would still be willing to do it at some point in the future (David Perry Interview)
Perry Considering Earthworm Jim Sequel.

It’s comforting to know. He of all people should know how to do it justice – and that’s partly by getting the original team back together. It would be awesome! Of course whether this comes to pass in the future remains to be seen.

Perry is currently working on Gaikai – a service that allows people to play games on any sort of application with an internet connection – a pretty amazing feat.

DSIware

Posted on by

Gameloft have put out release dates and a trailer for the DSIWare version of Earthworm Jim 1.

It’ll come out on the 23rd of April in Europe, and then May the 10th for North America.

They are also working on an Xbox Live Arcade version, so if you have one of those you might want to wait for that one instead.

They are clearly working very hard on all these versions so that new fans can get a taste of the original games, which I can only see as a good thing. Again though I hope quality hasn’t been skimped too much, since that’s what made Earthworm Jim so endearing and long lasting in the first place.

Doug TenNapel will be at The Calgary Entertainment Expo this weekend with Axe Cop creator Ethan Nicolle too – so if you’re in that area, be sure to drop on by and say hello to them. :)

More Concept art added to the gallery

With thanks to Mike Dietz, more images have been added to the concept art gallery, as well as the Making of Earthworm Jim scans. :)

As you may know from the post on March the 12th, we found that he had been posting lovely EWJ sketches and things to his blog. Some of them are very funny, and ever so cute. I don’t want to gush all over the place, but like everyone on the original EWJ team he is a very pleasant and skilled person. (I’m sorry, I’m gushing…someone get a bucket.)

Check out the adverts for Disney he worked on at Pencil Test Studios! That’s his and Ed Schofield’s animation studio. Great stuff.

New links have been added on the Links page.

I’ve also made more Jim emotes for the forum.
