Renegade Kid rewrote its engine for 3DS, doing so again for Moon Chronicles
With the 3DS celebrating its third birthday in Japan yesterday, Renegade Kid co-founder Jools Watsham shared several tweets about the studio’s history with the portable earlier today.
One of the more notable tidbits of information concerns Renegade Kid’s engine. For some of the company’s earlier games – Face Racers: Photo Finish and ATV Wild Ride 3D – the company rewrote the tech. Renegade Kid is now doing the same thing for Moon Chronicles to ensure that it runs at 60 FPS with 3D enabled.
We had to re-write our "Renegade Engine" (Dementium, Moon, ATV) from scratch to work on the 3DS for Face Racers and ATV 3D.

In other news, Watsham reconfirmed that the 2D version of Mutant Mudds (the game we know of today) was originally planned for Xbox Live. The studio’s “focus quickly shifted to the Nintendo eShop” after the 3DS was announced.
