All of the original concept art and sketches for Dizzywood was produced by the extremely talented Jake Parker. That included all of the initial character sketches for Presto, Chanjo, Olivia Kickflip, and more. He’s also responsible for the “look and feel” of the world, so when you were spending all those hours exploring through Presto’s Grove, Tanglevine Jungle and the Skylands, you were enjoying Jake’s work.

That’s why we’re very excited about Jake’s latest project, a Kickstarter for his new book, SkyHeart.

And hey, the story features a Sky Whale. That’s a whale that flies in the air. What more reason do you need?

Please take a look and consider supporting Jake’s newest work!

Grimm the Sky Whale

 

P.S. Did you know there’s an airplane prototype that’s also called the Sky Whale? It’s a huge 3-floor aircraft designed to hold 775 passengers. That’s enormous–but not as cool as an actual flying whale!

  1. It’s kind of heartwarming to see that the people who worked on Dizzywood have found other ways to make use of their talents. The vibe of the story and artstyle really is nostalgic, I think it’s giving me chills.
    Really, though, it’s so sweet to see you guys supporting Jake on this, too! As much as I hope Dizzywood comes back some day, this is also really nice to see. :0

  2. I wish that you guys could tell us whether you might start a new project or anything. Everyone has that little piece of hope that this game comes back (:

    1. It’s been over 10 years since Dizzywood closed and I still miss it. It is never coming back but I’m happy for all the memories I made playing this game in my childhood. I hope this website stays up for another ten years because I’ll be dropping by again!

  3. You know I would say “BRING DIZZYWOOD BACK” Like I pretty much do every month when I come back more or less, but I know how difficult it is to create and keep running a MMORPG. I’ll always hope you’ll bring it back, but I think you get the picture by now. So I’ll just be happy supporting Jake and seeing somewhat similar art to Dizzywood. Good luck bringing our beloved DW back! <3
    (P.S. You shoud post more stuff on here if you can. It always brings a smile to my face seeing new articles!)

  4. Please, please, PLEASE(!) bring back Dizzywood! This game was literally my childhood. The memories of it now (5 years ago now – cannot believe it!) are unreal. I can honestly say that at least once a month I google ‘Dizzywood’ in the hope that one day it would be returning. The friends I made as well! I loved it so much – I will never forget the time and effort I took to making the ‘Sandbar Palooza’ videos, praying to myself that it would be good enough to win! I still have them on YouTube to this day! It was honestly the best childhood game and I wish I had appreciated that more at the time!! So please Dizzywood – you will be doing everybody a favour to open your doors again, even if it is for only one day.

  5. I really miss this site, there are like no multiplayer worlds for kids anymore which are fun. I was here when I was 8 and it has stayed with me for a long time… bring it back for nostalgia’s sake!

  6. I tried SecretBuilders and it pales in comparisson to DizzyWood. We want DIZZYWOOD!!!! Not a failed spoof of it!

  7. you should consider bringing the game back. i remember when i was young and erm. innoecent i always played that skateboard game somewhere. and that tv under the bridge thing. D: BRING IT BACCK FFS

  8. Dizzywood, I am 15 years old. I’m about to turn 16 in April. I played your game when I was 8. You need to bring dizzywood back, but remix it. Give it a teen/young adult feel with the same imagation and magic old Dizzywood had like getting jetted in rockets to secret places in the sky in Presto’s Grove or being able to have a literal mansion with multiple rooms (that’s the first time I saw a multi-room house in a game with wasn’t 3D). Anyway, long story short, I still want a fun virtual world. People have given up on virtual worlds, no one makes them anymore. It used to be that all the time someone was putting out a new virtual world, now there’s barely any, anymore. The competition isn’t tight anymore, if you don’t have the funding to do it make a gofundme and pull yourself together! You said you’d bring Dizzywood back in some shape or form. Well GET ON IT! That app on the App Store disappeared, but I don’t just want one app of a mini game that used to be in Dizzywood anyway, I want the whole shabam and obviously I’m not the only old teenager who feels the same. Have a nice day, get to work, quench my boredom.

  9. I want to know how people play this game and I don’t even know how to log in! PEOPLE COME ON! Please replay on this comment please i need to know how y’all log in here!!

  10. Okay, Hello people reading this comment! I just wanted to say I saw dizzywood LIKE TRENDING ON THE INTERNET so i decieded i would come here and play the game! But now that i relize running a game is difficult! I actually got mad at myself for not relizing that. So, then NOW I SAY DIZZYWOOD IS TRENDING SO PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I BEG YOU I WANT TO TRY OUT THIS GAME! I JUST SAW IT ON THE INTERNET AND I WANT TO PLAY A TRENDING GAME! PLEASE BRING DW BACK! PLEASE! I know it is hard but at least post more articles and pictures. I want to imagine how it would be like playing an awesome game like DizzyWood! So all that I am saying is post more articles so i can see DizzyWood in my mind and get a big smile on my face! BYE PEOPLE READING AND OWNER OF DIZZYWOOD! REMEMBER THIS GAME IS TRENDING!

  11. Just bring Dizzywood back for like a day, that’s it, that’s all I ask for like can you just. Do it for the nostalgia. Ily.

      1. Back for 2021 ❤️ Honestly I would love to see if this continues till we all get old. At this point I might try to go into game design to create something like this lol. 💕 I miss it so much and all of you who commented before . I used to talk to some people who added me from here on social media and it was really nice . I hope you all are doing good , and I might join that discord server💕

  14. Well. Looks like 2020 might be the year this thread finally dies out. Unless more of you are here.
    I’m gonna do what I always do and leave a link to a Discord server. Click it and you’ll be in instant contact with me. And maybe other Dizzies. I dunno, it definitely feels like a long shot, but here we go:
