That was a great idea to hire Douglas TenNapel, the creator of Earthworm Jim.
So. What about other ex-Shiny employees, like Mike Dietz, Steve Crow, Michael Koelsh, Tommy Tallarico and others? They all did a huge work to make our Earthworm Jim so great as he is. Great idea, great animation, great graphic style, great fine art, great soundtrack and everything great else. Sorry for my bad english. I'm just belarussian EWJ fan.

True, and Doug is just a "creative consultant" to the rest of the new team.

To me, consultant sounds like some one they would consider for a few seconds before they go with their own ideas and plans.

Someone correct me here. Please! St. Louis gives young men the fear, can you use that?

Apparently, from this bit of information, creative consultant seems to have more power than both VinylHorror and I assumed. I researched about the other members of the development team being involved way back on April 22 of this year (when the information about Doug Tennapel being involved with the new EWJ project showed up on the internet), and even until today I haven't found anything. It'd be nice if some more of the original developers were involved, but either way I expect it to turn out to be a great game.
