All of this information comes from my interview with n-Space, but I figured I’d post it in a more agreeable form for news outlets and people who have neither the time nor interest to indulge my silly interview writing. If you DO have the time or interest to read my silly interview writing, you can find the full article here.

– Originally wanted to include DLC in ‘Heroes of Ruin’, but were unable to in the end.

– An announcement about something (no word on what) to come via their Facebook page “sooner rather than later”.

– A typical game development team squashes 5,000-50,000 bugs on a single project.

– ‘Winter’ (old Wii survival horror game, never released) isn’t necessarily dead. There’s always interest in the game from within the dev team.

– ‘Star Wars: Battlefront – Elite Squadron’ was originally just going to be ‘Star Wars: Battlefront 3 DS’, but when ‘Battlefront 3’ ran into development issues they went through a rebranding.

Renegade Kid would still be interested in making another Dementium

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, General Nintendo, News | 0 comments

Renegade Kid’s stance on Dementium hasn’t changed over the past few months. If they were presented with an opportunity to develop another game in the series, co-founder Jools Watsham says the studio would do so “in a heartbeat.”

There’s one important issue that still remains – SouthPeak owns the IP. It’s completely up to the publisher if and when a new Dementium gets made, and so far there hasn’t been any progress in this area.

Jools Watsham wrote on Twitter yesterday:

“The continuation of Dementium relies on SouthPeak’s desire and funds, not ours. We would develop a new Dementium in a heartbeat.”

Watsham has previously said that Renegade Kid has been thinking about creating an original first-person shooter for the eShop. Although it would be a digital release, there would be plans to make the game like a full-fledged retail product.
