David Perry wants to make a new Earthworm Jim

Good to know that we're not the only ones who have not forgotten about Earthwrom Jim. His original creator, David Perry, would like to see him return. It's not so much "if" Jim returns, but "when".

"It's just a bunch of guys who all have their own thing. Everyone has their own company. So, to get them to stop what they're doing and work on a game is very difficult, but it's something they all want to do. We've been having this discussion: when will this happen? When could we do it? What would make sense?" says Perry.

As it's all the rage, a Kickstarter idea was tossed to Perry, and he had some choice words for that. "We feel the Kickstarter thing would have been fun just to see how much money could be raised out of a Kickstarter, because we would have put a lot of effort into the video, for example. It's one of those things that, no one's got the time right now. I'm sure it's going to happen, I just can't tell you exactly when."

Eurogamer has a huge interview with him. He talks more about how he would make it a 2D game, some tension with other developer friends, and

if he makes it 2d that would be one of the best sequels any game developer makes. (making sequels that look like originals is a great idea imo)

I dunno... I've been debating whether or not to revive old franchises or not. I mean yeah sure a new Earthworm Jim that's exactly like the original except in HD would be nice. I'd rather not see Earthworm Jim turn into a multiplayer FPS.

I am literally made out of patience. When they have the time and resources, they should make the game. Just.... For the love of god...... Do these things for me: 1. Make it a 2-D side scrolling platformer 2. Do not try to shoe-horn in some kind of story that nobody will care about. It's a worm with a space suit fighting a villain. Simple. 3. SOLID controls. 4. I want to launch a cow.
