Mutant Mudds Dev Renegade Kid Shuts Down

Co-founders going their separate ways.

By Alex Osborn

After working together for 10 years at Renegade Kid, co-founders Jools Watsham and Gregg Hargrove have decided to go their separate ways and close down the studio.

According to an announcement from the studio, Watsham will continue to develop games at his new company Atooi, while Hargrove will go on to make games at his new studio Infitizmo. The closure of Renegade Kid was a "difficult decision" for Watsham and Hargrove, whose parting of ways is said to be on good terms.

All of Renegade Kid's 2D titles, including the critically acclaimed Mutant Mudds, Mutant Mudds Deluxe and Treasurenauts, will be owned by Atooi. Meanwhile, Infitizmo will acquire the rights to the 3D games, including the Dementium franchise and Moon Chronicles, the latter of which is a 3DS-exclusive remake of the hit 2009 DS game Moon.
