Our Journey After over 4 years of testing/learning game dev, and then another 1.5 years of rebuilding it from the ground up, working on it full time with just the two of us... Luminary is FINALLY out in the world! I can't even put into words how that feels... Surreal? Accomplishment? Terrifying? It hasn't really sunk in yet. This solo or co-op Zelda/Fable/Skyrim Idea I had for a game that my fa…
Hey Luminaries! If you are already a member of the Hall of Heroes, then you should have received an email this morning about signing up for our Early Playtest taking place Tomorrow July 26-27th. This is the first opportunity the larger public has been able to experience drop in drop out co-op, but you can play it solo if you'd like. If you did not receive and email, we've got you covered! You c…
As we glide past 50k Wishlists, I was inspired by a post I saw from another game "The Mound". I saw what they were doing with their Wishlist milestone discounts and thought "How Awesome! I wanna do that too!" So at 2 am I whipped together this graphic and got ready to announce it this morning. That's how quick big decisions are made at the Indie Game level haha. Here it is. As we "hopefully" re…

Hello Luminaries! The last couple months have been a whirlwind of excitement and WORK! We hit 40,000 Wishlists , actually we are currently sitting at 43K, and we've been crunching heavy behind the scenes getting ready for our Early Access launch date, that looms ever closer with each passing day. A day that many of you might have saw as July 30th. Well turns out, everyone and their moms decided…

Week 1 Luminaries will have their name displayed in game for all eternity! (Game Lore, this hall pays tribute to the Luminary Vessels of the past. So what better way to fill out those names than with yours!) I know…
I want to Thank everyone again for supporting us for as long as you have. It really helps our motivation to keep pushing hard over the finish line. I'm going to be hunkered down, grinding for the next few weeks, finishing up the "must haves" for our Day 1 Early Access launch. ( Which is right around the corner ) Things are going well, but with that said I thought maybe I should set some expecta…
We hit 30,000 Wishlists thanks to this Article (Sorry for the huge wall of text below, but the diehard fans want a lot of this info) I had a huge in depth interview with GameSpark (a Japanese publication) about Luminary. Since many of our followers here on Steam are only English speakers, I wanted to share with you all the original English answers version, because there's a LOT of Luminary FAQ…
Hi! Just a Little Update... I wanted to say Thank You to Everyone who has supported us so far on this journey, it really means the world to me. To show a little gratitude, here is a UHD 4k Image of our new Key Art that you can download. (If for some reason you can't download it here, we have the file in our Discord as well if you'd like to join) We are hard at work on getting ready for our Earl…
I really want to thank you ALL, and the new Japanese fans who came in clutch over the last week. We have passed 25,000 Wishlists , actually closing in on 26k today, and I honestly can't thank you all enough for being interested in our little indie game Luminary. With Early Access launch only a few months away , we are still working hard on some important features we want at launch, but things a…
Hi Luminaries! I just wanted to give you a small update on what we are working on. This week we started revamping some of the artwork and lighting in our demo and Early Access map. Here's a few beauty angle screen shots for that work. We will push out an update with these artwork changes next week. The following few weeks we will be tuning up our multiplayer system, and pushing that feature out…
First of all , let me say how happy I am at the recent support for Luminary. We've gained 2500 Wishlists in just the last two weeks, putting us over 23,500 and inching closer to 25k . We've never had this kind of momentum before, and we love and welcome all the new Luminaries! We are always working on improving our game, but some of that work isn't as flashy as a new ability or environment etc.…
Tier 2 Unlocked! Demo Update We are happy to announce the launch of a new Update for Luminary's Demo. In this update we did a few things, but the biggest is the addition of a Tier 2 Difficulty. Think of it like a New Game Plus, but things are a little different in Tier 2. Enemies are Stronger, more resilient, there's more of them, and they have a different look to them. You will also get more X…
We actually hit 20k Wishlists a couple months ago when we released our demo, but it just dawned on me I never let you all on Steam know about it. OOPS I'm going to make sure I keep all of our Luminary followers more updated on Steam, since there are 3550 of you on here :) I can't Thank you all enough! Tell your friends, and together we can rid this world's darkness with light

Hello Luminaries! Today we have released our features update to our Demo for Luminary. Our initial Demo launch Oct 13th was a little rushed. We were lacking some important features and hadn't tested our builds for bugs with the public yet. With that said, it still went OK. As we continue development on the Early Access build, we will continue updating this demo with those updated systems. Think…
Hello! Keith here, and I wanted to give my deepest gratitude to everyone who has supported us and Luminary so far. As you can imagine, launching something you have been working on for the public to play (and scrutinize) is the most nerve wracking thing, specially when doing it during Next Fest. In hindsight, we should have waited until Next Fest in February, and launched a more feature complete…
