Dementium wasn’t the only IP Renegade Kid contributed to the DS. The studio also worked on Moon, an original first-person shooter for the handheld. Unfortunately, Renegade Kid was never given the opportunity to make a follow-up to Moon – despite having plans for a sequel.
Co-founder Jools Watsham told Nintendo Force this month that a second entry in the Moon franchise “seems extremely unlikely at this point due to its ties with the publisher”. Watsham did, however, leave the door slightly open to the possibility of working with IP rights holder Mastiff on obtaining the franchise.
Watsham said:
“We had always planned to make a sequel to Moon, but that seems extremely unlikely at this point due to its ties with the publisher. Perhaps we’ll attempt to buy the sequel rights back from Mastiff one day. Not sure. Having said that though, we are pouring all of our efforts and desires into our new first-person shooter for the 3DS. If people like our new FPS, then we’ll have complete freedom to continue to support that game with sequels and such.”
