Renegade Kid is playing around with the idea of doing Dementium III on Kickstarter but after the failure of Cult Country in 2014 they are curious if folk would be interested in supporting the game before they start to go down that route - looking to get "thousands" of retweets (which Jools acknowledges is a slim change in the linked video). The game would tentatively release on whatever systems the engine used (Unity or Unreal 4) supports so while that does not lend much hope for a 3DS release Jools would like to have a version built just for that handheld but right now it's all "pie-in-the-sky".

The tweet they are watching.

On another note Dementium 2: Remastered is aiming to release on 3DS in Q2 of this year.

no thanks

they were ok-ish

i'd be more excited about them doing a proper horror FPS on PC/Consoles

I really doubt there's a "fanbase" out there as to make this Dementium 3

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

no thank you, would rather see a new ip or more mutant mudds. dementium was... bad. never played 2

 

[TheMoon]

Want yes but there's no point in fooling anyone: a KS would not be successful with the amount of money they'd be asking for again. Yes, I remember Cult County.

 

[Katori]

Cult Country looked awesome. Given the companies/projects that succeed on KS, I don't get how stuff like this (or Consortium, for example) from established companies fails.

 

[Shizuka]

What happened to that Kickstarter?

 

[MUnited83]

I'd like it, but i'd prefer more of a Dementium I than Dementium II. II wasn't scary at all.

 

[Ridley327]

What happened to that Kickstarter?

Failed pretty hard. It was really badly managed in the beginning and never recovered after the initial 3DS omission.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

I'd like a Dementium 3.

They should not do a KS.

 

[Davey Cakes]

I'll admit I struggled with Dementium. It wasn't much fun. Though some moments brought me back to those old eerie DOS games like Operation: Body Count and Nitemare 3D, if even just a little bit.

 

[Kresnik258]

What happened to that Kickstarter?

My thoughts exactly. I can't even remember what exactly it was but there was definitely some multi-plat Kickstarter a while ago.

 

[FaintDeftone]

Given I only played the original game and not its sequel, I'm going with a big "no" on that one. It was an incredibly ugly, boring horror game.

 

[Corpekata]

I wouldn't be opposed to it, but I don't specifically want it. I would love to see them try something 3d and ambitious in general though.

 

[OnionPowder]

Make another Xeodrifter instead. That's by far their best game.

There's a link for it in the OP.

 

[akidnamededdy]

Did not even know there was a Dementium 2.

Didn't this start out as a Silent Hill game that they pitched to Konami and got turned down? I remember reading something along those lines.

 

[clevbrowns94]

No. I'd rather have them actually release that Treasurenauts game. Is it still coming?

 

[OrbitalBeard]

No. I'd rather have them actually release that Treasurenauts game. Is it still coming?

It's their next project after Mutant Mudds Super Challenge, which is due to be submitted to NoA and NoE this week.

Well, that's good news. It seems they have enough projects to finish. I can't really see a Dementium sequel being successful.

 

[fernoca]

You know I like Renegade Kid, Jools and their games; their commitment and passion...

But their 3D games usually end feeling, playing and looking a bit generic...compared to their 2D games.

Would be cool if they focused on 2D games and even made a 2D Dementium game (like the Splinter Cell games on GBA) or something.

But whatever...whatever they do I'll be there.

 

[Kresnik258]

There's a link for it in the OP.

So there is!

 

[Shizuka]

Well, will the new game be funded through Kickstarter? If not, I'd be interested.

 

[Pif]

A remake sounds better to me

The presentation of the game and the tight controls on DS, made it spectecular.


A remade Dementium: The Ward on Unreal Engine 4 would be able to capture much of that essence in today's development standards.

 

[shingi70]

I'd say go back to the Setting of Cult County, but focus on a few platforms first.


I love RK so I hope this expansion Jools is doing works out for him.

What happened to that Kickstarter?

In a nutshell:

-they didn't have much to show and what they did show was basic and uninspiring
-they announced it as an episodic game, which is always a turn-off for crowdfunded pitches
-they were proposing a console game but most of their fans were on 3DS and wanted a 3DS game

They just remastered the original Dementium for 3DS and the second game is coming soon.

They'll never completely remake them in HD because they're a tiny studio with no money that can't even afford to make a new game to 3DS spec.
