After 3 and a half years of work and at long last:
Crystal Rail is finally coming to Kickstarter!
We have strove to create the best game possible, and if you have enjoyed Crystal Rail before, we hope you may consider supporting us in our attempt to bring Crystal Rail's vision to life.
That said, we have not been idle these last several months; in concert with our new Kickstarter, we have updated our demo with the single largest update since we went live on Steam earlier this year.

We have worked ourselves to the bone, as if this were to be the final update to Crystal Rail, but if we are so fortunate as to have your support, we are hopeful this will be only the beginning. If you believe in our vision, please consider supporting us on Kickstarter - we are offering a number of incentives:
Early bird pricing to get the game (limited offer)
Get your name in the credits
Name a train company
Custom drawings
and more!
And even if you're not able to support, we greatly appreciate anyone who can spread the word. As many of you know, we are just a couple people who have yearned all our lives to create games, we think we've really got something special here, and we hope to bring it to fruition with your help.
Sincerely,
The CR Team
PS: For any interested, we've also started a youtube channel to post trailers and behind-the-scenes work related to the game, we hope you'll enjoy some of the timelapses and other materials we've created along the way to bringing Crystal Rail to life!
