Your use of `require` is incorrect.

All resource paths (.lua files are resources like any other) in Crown are unix-style and do not include the extension.

I have a custom loader that deals with it: https://github.com/dbartolini/crown/blob/master/src/lua/lua_...

I would recommend that you extend `package.loaders` instead. You risk breaking expected `require` functionality. Then you get the benefits of both!!
