In the wake of its unsuccessful Kickstarter for Cult County, Renegade Kid has moved on to begin work on “a new experimental 2D game for 3DS.”
Studio co-founder Jools Watsham tweeted the news, but didn’t offer any additional nuggets. He did confirm, however, that Kickstarter won’t be involved with this new project.
Watsham said:
As part of our healing process after the KS failure, we're developing a new experimental 2D game for 3DS. It has pixels and stuff. No cults.

@DonaldMick Haha, no kickstarter with this one, no. 🙂

@EdEN_Zr When it is ready to show, I will be happy to talk about it for sure.

Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark is currently on track to launch in June. Activision recently sent out a press release about a DLC pre-order bonus at GameStop (which won’t be available on Wii U/3DS), and noted that the upcoming game is “expected” out on June 24. Let’s hope that date sticks!
