Hey! First I'd like to say that ATOTK was awesome and that yours is honestly the first fan group I've been truly excited about. ATOTK is a very professional work, and in my opinion could compete with some of the best of Sierra's classics. I just have 3 questions:

1) Are there any plans for Crystal Shard to develop any more myth or fairy tale based adventure games?

2) Any chance of a ATOTK sequel or spinoff?

3) Will Crystal Shard ever develop a game based on the King's Quest series, perhaps based on the KQ novels or Akril's KQ9 and KQ10? I imagine that a KQ game by you guys would be amazing.

(1) Yes; in fact we are presently working on one, albeit a shorter game than ATOTK. The working title is "Quest for Yrolg", and it should be finished this year. Keep an eye on the forums or our website for details.

(2) Any chance, yes. But in the near future, no. We have other projects to work on. So no promises there.

(3) No. Even aside from the whole issue about copyright, we prefer writing stories in our own setting with new characters, to using well-known and existing worlds and characters. Also, if you make a game in a well-known series and people like it, you'll always wonder whether they really like your work, or simply like the series and everything associated with it.

Thanks for your reply,
I'll definately check out Quest for Yrolg when you have information available.

In the meantime, there's always Warthogs. Not to mention SubTerra.
