As of today, Renegade Kid is no more. The Texas-based developer that’s known for games such asXeodrifter,Mutant Mudds, andDementiumhas ceased operations after nine years as a studio.
Thenews was revealedon the company’s site. “Renegade Kid has announced that its co-founders, Jools Watsham and Gregg Hargrove, have made the difficult decision to bring their 10-year partnership of developing games together asRenegade Kid LLCto an end,” the post begins. The dissolution seems to be amicable, as the two say that they’re going their separate ways “with their friendship and their respect for each other still very much intact.”
Out of this split will come a couple of new studios. Watsham has now founded Atooi, LLC, and Hargrove has founded Infinitizmo, LLC. The two will divy up Renegade Kid’s properties. Watsham will take the rights to all of its 2D titles (Mutant Mudds,Xeodrifter,Bomb Monkey,Treasurenauts, andTotes the Goat) while Hargrove gets all the 3D games (Dementium,Moon Chronicles, andATV Wild Ride/ATV Renegades.
