a beautiful day in the neverhood

What ever happened to the Neverhood gang? I just realized that I got them confused with Neversoft, who make Tony Hawk's Pro-Skater and Underground titles. It looks like they haven't done anything since Boombots. Casualty of Gamespot's remarkably harsh grading? Everyone who actually bought the game seems to hold it in high regard, when one compares the official GS score to the User score.

Update: Ask and I shall receive, apparently. Doug TenNaple has quit with games and is doing movies and comics. A group within the Neverhood crew tried to make a go of it as Monkeytropolis, but it didn't work out.
