Indie news (Feb 5) – Dodge Club Party / Renegade Kid
Dodge Club Party
James Montagna (originally from WayForward Technologies) released his first independant game last year: Dot Arcade (a unique collection of 3 mini games on an 8×8 light grid). He’s back with another game for the Nintendo eShop of the Wii U, called Dodge Club Party.
It should be released sometime in March in North America, where it will cost $1.99 (the lowest price possible).A European release is planned (along with Dot Arcade), but nothing has been announced just yet.

And a few minutes ago, Rely on Horror published an interview with Jools Watsham, in which he talks about the crowdfunding campaign for Dementium III. We learn that this game is something the team has been wanting to work on for quite a while already, but they don’t have the budget for it.
That being said, they don’t want to commit themselves to a Kickstarter campaign if they’re not sure it will succeed… no doubt they still have in mind the failure of Cult County’s campaign. If the game came to be, it would be released on Nintendo 3DS, but also all modern platforms (including the Wii U, and the NX if possible).

Last month, the developers posted some pictures for the Maze level, which was compelted during the holidays. Even though players are supposed to feel lost inside, they will be able to get either the girl or the robot on high ground, in order to get a better view of the area and find the exit.
Here’s the screenshots for the Maze level:
