Why you no make adventure games?
We haven't decided that we're no longer working on adventure games, it's just that Radiant has some old non-adventure projects from years back which need some love too :). We will be going back to the adventure genre at some point, it's just a matter of time.

Just a heads up for anyone that hasn't seen already - all our games and DLC are on special until 10th July in Steam's Summer Sale. Check them out here:

https://store.steampowered.com/developer/CrystalShard

This includes:
- A Tale of Two Kingdoms (30% off)
- Crystal Shard Adventure Bundle (50% off)
- Leylines (4X strategy) (30% off)
- Beer! (Puzzle) (50% off)

On what we've been doing lately; we are making gradual progress on Sub Terra Draconis (a puzzle game and spiritual successor to Radiant's Sub Terra 1 and 2). Progress has mainly been slow with a lot of real life stuff going on for me, but I now have up to ~4 weeks off to get a bunch of graphics done before having another baby, so that's on my to-do list to knock off. After Sub Terra Draconis, we'll pretty much have a blank slate in terms of next game to work on.

So in case anyone is interested, we recently released Sub Terra Draconis, which isn't an adventure game, but has lots of puzzles. You can also grab it along with ATOTK and Leylines in a new bundle we created: https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/12891/Crystal_Shard_Collection/, or purchase on its own. It is somewhat addictive, and there is a demo available if you want to give it a go first.

Admittedly, I haven't really done any marketing because of real life (I have a second baby to look after), so consider this post my feeble attempt at letting others know of our new projects :P

On another note, Corby has been back and floated a new idea for Radiant. This one is likely to be of an RPG nature, but nothing formally started apart from some graphics so far.

Just bought it because I wanted to try more games from your team after finishing HQ, and it doesn't work :negative:

Game's stuck on the intro slide ("egg hatches"), in-game settings don't seem to change anything, credits button makes game crash

Sorry for the slow response, a lot has been happening for me lately. Could you please share your computer specs, and I'll forward on to Radiant to investigate?

Wow, just realised it's been ages since I posted on this forum. I've had a lot on in the last two years, and life seems to get busier and busier in all aspects (work, family)... so game development is very slow.

But in good news, Radiant does have a new game design fleshed out and I am working on the art as much as time allows. I'll probably post something separately down the track to talk about it more. It will be mythology inspired, so may be of interest to some here :)

Also, with Steam's Halloween sale, our games are 50% off, so if you are interested, check them out here: https://store.steampowered.com/developer/CrystalShard
