Earthworm Jim Concept art added to the gallery

Posted on March 26, 2010 by Katherine

Always good to see more Earthworm Jim concept art. With thanks to Mike Dietz, new 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 Earthworm Jim 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 Earthworm Jim 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.

Earthworm Jim on Palm Pre

Posted on February 20, 2010 by Katherine

Gameloft released Earthworm Jim for the Palm Pre on February the 17th. You can get it in the Palm-Pre catalogue.

I don’t know how well these adaptations have been made, since I don’t care for hand-held gizmo’s personally. Let us know what you think, if you got these.

Earthworm Jim 2 on Virtual Console

Posted on December 4, 2009 by Katherine

Earthworm Jim 2 has been released for the Nintendo Wii Virtual Console.

This is the Megadrive version apparently…I don’t know much more than that…my own Wii has yet to be unearthed from it’s dusty slumber under the Telly downstairs.

Fairly self explanatory. Still hoping more will happen to Earthworm Jim than re-releases…but have fun if you get it.
I’ll add it to the timeline later.

More Earthworm Jim Sprites

Posted on November 15, 2009 by Katherine

Finally added these to the Earthworm Jim sprites page.

Big thank you to LoOk for making some more animated ones and some level backgrounds.
I made a few of them transparent, but kept the originals he made there with the purple backgrounds – something to do with it affecting the quality…I don’t notice it. perhaps you need to be a ninja to notice that stuff.
