... that one of Diggin' Dogs initial gameplay concepts was "possibly going to be worms eating into a diseased brain" with design input from Edmund McMillen? Source: "Interestingly, back in 2008 we briefly began work on a mature themed version of the game, and worked with Edmund McMillen (of Super Meat Boy fame) on initial art and characters. It had a steampunk theme and was possibly going to be worms eating into a diseased brain. We as a company got side tracked, Edmund become super meaty famous, and then four years later Diggin Dogs was born." Source, Gizmodo AU
