Lumen, Conventions and What’s Next
Our convention season has wrapped up, Lumen is out in the world, and there’s still plenty to finish before December. Here’s what we’ve been doing at Shadow Games, and where you’ll find us next.
Around the table at Fantasy Basel, BasGame and Zurich Pop Con
More than 100 people sat down to play our games across Fantasy Basel, BasGame and Zurich Pop Con this year. We spent a lot of time teaching rules, running demos and getting to know the people on the other side of the table.
This was also our first year with helpers from outside our usual circle working at the booths. They taught the games and kept the demos going alongside us. To everyone who helped: thank you. There’s a lot of work behind a convention weekend, and we appreciated having you there.
Lumen is live on CrazyGames
We released our first digital game this year. After its Basic Launch, Lumen was approved on CrazyGames and went live.
It’s a browser survival game where your light determines your health, how far you can see and the reach of your weapons. That light keeps fading, and defeating enemies is how you keep it burning.
So far, Lumen has passed 110K gameplays, with almost 2K likes and a 9.6/10 rating. Seeing people play something we made has been a pretty special part of this year.
Christmas markets around Zurich
We’ve finished our conventions for 2026, but we’ll still be at Christmas markets around the Zurich area before the year is out.
We’ll share the dates and locations on our social channels later. Come say hello if you’re nearby.
Next up: The World of Sai and Hambre
We’re getting The World of Sai ready for its Kickstarter launch before the end of 2026. We’ll share the campaign details as the launch gets closer.
We’re also working on the second edition of Hambre. The first print run is nearly sold out, so it’s time to get the next edition ready. Thank you to everyone who bought a copy.
And for those already planning next year: we’ll be back at Fantasy Basel in May 2027.
Thanks for spending some of your year playing our games. We’re looking forward to sitting down with you again.
Big hugs,
The Shadow Games team
