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 cozy colony builder about small beings of light. Choose where their homes go, and they'll raise them together. Then step down into first person and live among them. No combat, no game over. 

Every light begins small

It starts with an egg in a cradle by the fire. One evening, light finds the seam, she peeks out at you, and she's yours to name. We called her Wrenna. She laughed.

Give them a home

Pick a home and set it down wherever feels right. One by one, a camp by the fire grows into a village, with smoke curling from its chimneys.

Step into their world

Shape the island from above, then step down into first person and walk among the lives you made room for. The paths you laid are yours to walk, and the neighbours come over to say hello.

They have lives of their own

When the bell rings, everyone hurries to the table. At night they gather round the fire, their little lights warm against the dark.

Each Luminid has a personality of their own. They grow up alongside you, make friends, develop quirks and find their own place in the colony. One becomes a curious explorer, one becomes the camp chef and another is happiest near the water.

Somehow, one of them always becomes your favourite

Meet new Luminids as your world grows.

Explore beyond the village

Climb a tower and step off its crown on your wings of light. Beyond the meadows lie quiet forests, high mountains, deserts and forgotten sanctuaries. Bring back what you find, build somewhere new, or just take the long way home.
