First off, please enjoy the website. Downloading books and films is available to everyone, but to get the full benefit of The Moon Books Project, which includes access to forums, high scores in the arcade, pm's and other benefits, you will need to make an account. To sign up for an account please click here [link] For those who are not familiar with The Moon Books Project, the goal is to release classic literature onto the Nintendo DS. With the popularity of brain enhancing software such as Big Brain Academy and Brain Age, it's about time someone released something to not only enhance the mind, but to expand the users knowledge base. That is where we come in. At the moment there is no official contact with any official developers, so we are using commonly available 'homebrew' software for the Nintendo DS to make it possible to have your very own personal library in the palm of your hand. Available books are among some of the greatest, most enlightening, and most entertaining in the world. Everything from Shakespeare to The War of the Worlds. From such diverse topics from science fiction to religion, and we're just beginning to reach the tip of the iceberg. We have also delved into the film industry, to release classic films on the Nintendo DS. That's right, a collection of films from a diverse number of genres are now available for your enjoyment. Such films range from classic horror titles like Night of the Living Dead to film noir drama like DOA. We've even thrown in some Rashomon, just for the fun of it. As always, everything here is completely legal, as all content from The Moon Books Project is in the public domain.

| Nintendo announces the new DS, the DSi | |
  Nintendo has announced a new incarnation of the Nintendo DS, the DSi.

Slated for release November 1st for $180 in Japan. Missing however is the GBA slot.

| Apology for the shipping delay, update. | |
|
I am very sorry the iTouch cards have not shipped out yet. It is a testament to the patience of the winners to have waited so long, and I commend them, and appreciate their understanding. I ran into some really serious financial troubles. Everything is back on track now, and the iTouch cards will be shipped on the 1st of October. Again, I apologize to everyone for the extremely long delay. As you have noticed, there has been very little updates to Moon Books pretty much since the contest began, and there is where things started to unravel in my personal life, and I had to move Moon Books to the bottom of my priority list. Things are infinitely better now, and I am back on track to continuing to make this a better service, and to actually being able to pay the bills.  Brandon |

| RENEGADE KID AND GAMECOCK TOGETHER AGAIN | |
Being the big time fans of Dementium that I am I thought I would pass this bit of news along. Developer and Publisher Team Up on Unnamed New IP That Realizes a Fantasy Gothic Universe Cockpit, Austin, Texas – August 29, 2008 – Renegade Kid and Gamecock Media Group proudly announced today that they are working on their second project together. Based on one of the biggest horror icons of all time, the game’s name, plot or what systems it will be available for have yet to be revealed. Fans of the critically acclaimed Dementium: The Ward, will be thrilled when more details become available later this year. The completely new title changes things up from past Renegade Kid projects in terms of gameplay, genre and style. While their development philosophy of building a solid graphics and gameplay foundation first and expanding the game’s features and world later in the process remains the same, the design they are tackling this time around promises a fresh experience for gamers. “Our first venture with Gamecock, Dementium, was an ideal partnership for us,” said Jools Watsham, Owner and Creative Director of Renegade Kid. “Our new game has been a ‘pet project’ of ours for a while now and it not only felt natural but necessary that we team up with Gamecock again. We’re really looking forward to working with these talented folks again." “The exciting thing about working with Renegade Kid, and what we learned the first time around, is that they’ll stick to their guns and put everything they have into it,” said Harry Miller, El Presidente of Gamecock Media Group. “This new title is incredible, and a huge leap forward for them and the genre.” Details on this new game will be forthcoming. About Renegade Kid Located deep in the heart of Texas, Renegade Kid's debut title was the award-winning Dementium: The Ward. The studio is dedicated to producing original gaming content that showcases its creative flair. For more information please visit Renegade Kid.
