The original creator of the Earthworm Jim series is happening to be teasing a new Earthworm Jim game via Facebook. Doug TenNapel on Facebook says “Everyone loves Earthworm Jim 1 and 2, and I don’t generally acknowledge EWJ 3 [Earthworm Jim 3D] as a real part of the Jim universe. So if I was making another Jim game, would it be too confusing to call it Jim 3? Or would it have to be Jim 4? How about ‘Earthworm Jim 4 the Fans’?”

A new Earthworm Jim game on next-generation consoles would be fantastic or even a triple-A Earthworm Jim indie game would still be fascinating, given the reach of tablets and mobiles.

Let us know if you are looking forward to a new Earthworm Jim game in the future, in the comments section below.

The Kickstarter closed at $974,578 provided by 18,126 backers. The game was already in development for PC, Linux and Mac OS X but thanks to achieving the stretch goal of $950,000 it will also be heading to the Nintendo Wii U. Check out the gameplay concept sketches below and the video above to see just how Armikrog’s mechanics work.

As a clay and puppet animated adventure game, Armikrog has Earthworm Jim creator Doug TenNapel at the helm alongside Mike Dietz and Ed Schofield of Pencil Test Studios, who also have experience developing Earthworm Jim and The Neverhood. Armikrog features a lot of the original development team from Neverhood and combines sculpture along with stop-motion animation to create a game that “blurs the lines between art and technology”.

The voice talents are also extremely amazing, and include Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite), Rob Paulsen (the voice of Pinky from Pinky and the Brain), Scott Kurtz (of webcomic PvP fame) and Michael J. Nelson (Mystery Science Theater 3000).
