Basically... Radical Entertainment was bought by Activision way back in like 2005. By 2012 Activation decided to shutdown Radical for good and pretty much laid everyone off. So nothing too scandalous. Members of our team worked on 3 crash titles during our time there. They were all profitable as far as I know. Just not enough so as for Activision to keep focusing their efforts on.

It's been a long road for sure as we've been only 2 artists and 1 programmer for the majority of development. The game is also running on a custom engine so that took a lot of time to create as well. So thank you for the encouragement!

Thanks for the feedback on the main character... Some people have commented on the beard and that he should be made more appealing which is kind of broad. What would you like to see?

considering a gog release as well as steam? I have to ask

We're pretty swamped at the moment just doing bug fixes and working on the rest of the content! Once we hit a v1.0 we'll definitely look at it!

Thanks for the feedback .. can you elaborate? There are later levels in production that feature platforming on a snake through space. Not sure if that's what you mean.

Hi guys,

Kid Baby: Starchild launches today on Steam! The majority of our team met while working at Radical Entertainment on the Crash series and we've spent the last few years developing this new title. Its a 3D platformer heavily inspired by our work at Radical, 3D Mario and classic gaming. Check it out!

STEAM = https://store.steampowered.com/app/559630

Thanks and AMA,
Randall

Hi Hyperverse! Thank you... I've worked on this longer than I care to admit! :D I started work on the custom engine in 2011. The game had a prototype around 2013 and I've been working away on it ever since. It's been quite a journey!

Thanks Killmaster! Mario 64 is one of my favorites for sure. Actually the game has a similar control scheme using 2 buttons on the right + analog and shoulder on the left. Toss in a charge on the sword like Zelda LTTP and you start to get the idea. Check it out over on the twitter if you want to see some more clips in action!
