It’s a beautiful day in the Neverhood as Earthworm Jim creator Doug TenNapel, the mind behind the platforming classic Earthworm Jim, along with The Neverhood, has formed a partnership with Pencil Test Studios to sculpt yet another twisted Claycraft adventure titled Armikrog.

Armikrog is a spiritual successor to The Neverhood, the classic 1996 PC adventure game that garnered much praise for its quirky humor and stunning stop-motion clay animation. The team at Pencil Test Studios hopes to rekindle the same creative flame The Neverhood Inc. sparked with their original releases with their latest adventure. Thankfully, Ed Schofield, The Neverhood’s original artist, is on hand along with a handful of other members of the team to make sure Armikrog lives up to that lofty goal.

While the full details of Armikrog’s story have yet to be revealed, here’s what we know so far. Armikrog puts the player in control of the spacefaring explorer Tommynaut, who, along with his companion, a blind alien, talking dog named Beak Beak, become stranded when their space ship crashes on a strange planet. After the chaotic ordeal the duo become trapped in the game’s eponymous fortress Armikrog, where their adventure begins.

Fan response to the announcement of Pencil Test Studio’s Kickstarter campaign for the game has been very positive. While their campaign started just a few days ago, they have already received over a third of their $900,000 dollar goal from nearly 9,000 backers. If you’re interested in supporting Pencil Test Studios in crafting this fantastic looking point-and-click adventure (and dammit, you should be!) you can find the game’s Kickstarter Page Here.

If Armikrog’s Kickstarter proves to be a success, and right not it looks like it should, maybe next we’ll even see a supercharged sequel Skullmonkeys. Ah, one can only dream…
