I should say that there absolutely -will- be a Crow Country successor, eventually, I just don't think it'll be about shooting dinosaurs (read thread to see why)

A while back we had the wonderful opportunity to pitch a Red Dwarf adventure game directly to Doug Naylor himself. While the project didn't end up going ahead, we're now free to share some of the work we produced for the pitch!

early design experiments for a discarded horror game idea (and a Crow Country spiritual successor) - based on dinosaurs as they were originally perceived by Victorians in the mid/late 1800s

One of the issues during Crow Country dev was that I couldn't come up with any enemy designs better than this, despite trying several times

Playmaker flowchart used to calculate your completion rank in Crow Country - if you were curious what was going on under the hood. (You can't get a rank lower than C, since I figure beating the game is a passing grade by itself)

The three 'Congratulations!' pictures you can get after completing Crow Country on hard mode (B, A and S rank) I had fun posing the characters to make these.

The sheer amount of modelling @sfbdim.bsky.social did for Crow Country (yes, it was all 100% him), it still blows me away. Especially considering this was our first ever 3D game!
