Renegade Kid lassos Project M

In the spirit of the season, Renegade Kid's horror-themed shooter Dementium: The Ward is being released today on Nintendo's family-friendly handheld, the DS. Although the jury is still out on whether Dementium will make a killing, the upstart developer is already gearing up for its second project, operating under the working title Project M.

Interestingly, Renegade Kid won't be returning to extravagant fringe publishers Gamecock Media Group for Project M. Instead, the Austin-based developer has signed with Mastiff to publish its newest DS offering. Most recently, Mastiff released Falcom's action role-playing game Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure for the PlayStation Portable. The publisher is also signed on to publish RED Entertainment's No One Can Stop Mr. Domino! sequel, Mr. D Goes to Town (working title) for the Wii.

Project M has not yet been rated, dated, or priced.
