Jools Watsham of Renegade Kid — the developers of Mutant Mudds — has shared his thoughts about the (potential) rise of piracy on the 3DS. Unfortunately, it does seem like an inevitability that piracy will become rampant, and this is what Watsham fears:

If piracy gets bad on the 3DS, we will have no choice but to stop supporting the platform with new games. Some say that piracy leads to more game sales, claiming that it enables players to try before they buy. Bullshit. The percentage of people who will spend money on a game that they already got for free is surely very small – especially with so many “free” games already in the market. The line between what should/should not be free is getting very blurry.

Jools Watsham has talked about the possibility of Mutant Mudds on the 3DS receiving an update with twenty extra levels. There’s always been a sense of uncertainy associated with his statements though. Luckily, that is no longer the case. Here’s a direct quote from a recent blog post:

You might be asking yourself, “Why should I vote for Mudds on Steam?” when you may already have Mutant Mudds on your 3DS, or you’re waiting for the 20 new Grannie levels to land on the eShop (which is totally going to happen btw, as a free update). You may also be thinking to yourself, “Erp, I don’t want to play Mutant Mudds on Steam or even the PC for that matter!”

The fact that the update is free makes it all the more sweet.

Jools Watsham has revealed through Twitter that Mutant Mudds is one step closer to a release in Europe, saying that:

Materials have finally been sent off to PEGI and USK. [We] should hear back from them in about 10-ish days [and then] we get to submit to Nintendo of Europe for approval. It could take 10 days for PEGI/USK. And then take another 10 days for Nintendo to approve. Then released a week or 2 after that.

Here’s hoping that everything goes as planned Mutant Mudds launches in Europe soon.

Jools Watsham of Renegade Kid has confirmed that, in regards to Mutant Mudds, “a sequel will happen one day”. But for the time being, that’s all we know. He said he “must keep the details secret for now”, and seeing as they have a few other projects in the pipeline, it could be a while before we hear anything.

Jools Watsham of Renegade Kid has confirmed that the demo for Mutant Mudds will be arrive in North America on the eShop on the 29th of March. For those not sure of what day it is, it’s next Thursday.

Jools Watsham of Renegade Kid has revealed that a demo for Mutant Mudds will be hitting the eShop at some point in the next few weeks and has already made its way into the approval process.
