Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Early Access allows us to grow the game alongside the community, refining its core systems: world growth, building, exploration, and Luminids behavior - through real player feedback.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect Luminids to remain in Early Access for approximately 12–18 months, depending on community feedback and the pace of feature development.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Our intention is to expand the core systems that make this game feel alive: deeper world simulation, more meaningful behaviours, and richer ways for Luminids to interact with their environment. We also plan to broaden creative play with additional building options, technologies, and late-game mechanics that encourage exploration and expression without pressure.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Luminids currently provides the core foundation of the experience. Players can guide living, expressive Luminids within the world featuring multiple biomes, natural resources, and dynamic terrain. You can build and plan from an overhead perspective, then explore your world in first person. Early settlement progression, foundational systems, and core simulation mechanics are already in place.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes. Early supporters will receive the game at a lower price.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Community feedback is central to the development of Luminids. We plan to gather input through our Discord community and Steam play testing. Player feedback will help guide balance adjustments, progression pacing, feature priorities, and overall direction.”

About This Game

Luminids is a gentle creative sandbox where you shape terrain, guide settlement growth, and watch small beings build a civilization alongside you.

Build and shape your world in an isometric view then step into first person to explore the world you created. As the land changes, your Luminids gather, build, and form their own community over time.

A Living World of Luminids

Luminids are small, expressive beings with their own needs, routines, and awareness. They gather resources, build structures, and respond to changes in their environment. Their behavior shifts based on conditions you create. Nurture the Luminids by providing space and safety as they grow.

Build from Above & Step Into Your World

Plan and build your community from above then switch instantly to first person to walk your settlements and meet your Luminids up close.

A Calm, Creative Experience

Luminids is designed to be calm and cozy, thoughtful and relaxing. The Luminids will not rush you forward - they invite experimentation, creativity, and quiet wonder.
