Title: Is 5th Cell still working on the new Drawn to Life games?

  Earlier today, THQ announced new games in the Drawn to Life series on both Wii & DS, but strangely made no mention of the developers working on them.    


Interestingly, a poster on the NeoGaf forums named Jackson claims that he works for 5th Cell and that they are the developing the DS version of Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter. In addition, he claims that Planet Moon Studios, the developer of Giants: Citizen Kabuto and Battle of the Bands is working on the Wii version. Here is his posting:    


"DTL2 [Drawn to Life 2] DS is a completely new game from the ground up, trust me. It's pretty awesome. It's very different from the original we did. Tomorrow more news will drop on it.    


Planet Moon is making the Wii version."
   


Either Jackson works for 5th Cell or he really likes pretending he does because there are posts from over six months ago where he writes what is supposedly insider knowledge.    


For example here is a quote from December 5th where he discusses one of the myriad of possibilities in Scribblenauts:    


"No adjectives. Just Objects. (minus copyright and vulgarity)    


Bear? Yes. Giant Flaming Bear? No.    


If you want to set a bear on fire, by writing torch and setting him on fire (assuming he doesn't eat you first), then yes."
   


While there is far from conclusive evidence showing that 5th Cell is working on the DS version of the game, as long as Mr. Jackson isn't lying, the truth will be revealed very soon.

Jackson wasn't lying. There are interviews with both 5th Cell and Planet Moon over at IGN.

It's so awesome hearing about 5-Cell stuff to me because I know several people working there who were my peers at DigiPen.
