    Neverhood creator developing a full, stop-motion animated adventure game

    Doug TenNapel, the creator of the 1996 claymation adventure classic The Neverhood, has announced on Facebook he’s working on another stop-motion point-and-click adventure along with members of Neverhood’s original team.

    Don’t call it a sequel, though—Neverhood’s license rests with EA after it bought original publisher Dreamworks Interactive, now known as Medal of Honor studio Danger Close, in 2000. That’s perfectly fine with TenNapel, who feels it’s better to jump on fresh ideas while keeping to the original game’s quirky, sculpted visuals.

    Neverhood animators and artists Mike Dietz and Ed Schofield are also on board for the project as well as composer Terry Taylor, whose soundtrack is one of the most memorable in old-school adventure gaming.

    I'm definitely excited. As a kid the library by my house had the Neverhood; and I used to rent it out constantly. I'm big fan of Doug's art and Terry's music outside of games too.
