40k Wishlists, Price / Launch Date Reveal - Playtest? - Major Demo Update

Luminary's Day 1 Early Access Release date is officially August 11th, 2026. Along with that news we've decided to reveal our Early Access Launch price as well: $19.99 usd - with Regional pricing and a 10% launch week discount

Some have said maybe that price is cheaper than expected for an Openworld Co-op ARPG, but this is Day 1 Early Access after all. While Luminary may one day get to be as big Enshrouded or Palworld, it won't be Day 1, so we wanted to reward our early supporters with a cheaper price.

(Plus we are only 2 people, so it doesn't take as much for us to be happy and "successful")

Hall of Heroes Speaking of rewards for Early Supporters, have you signed up for the Hall of Heroes yet? Don't forget that we have a signup form, for people who pledge to play Luminary Week 1. And to say our thanks, I'm putting their names in Luminary to stay for all eternity.

Steam post image (Signup needs to happen before August 11th launch) Sign Up Form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfgKWlvI_csm8KiFMq8us21iNnoaStpwSEgKCfU2Cfv1F8Apw/viewform Also there "may" be a closed Co-op Playtest coming up before launch. We are eying the weekend of July 17th. This is not a definite, but if it happens the people who we have email addresses for from the Hall of Heroes signup will be the first to get that signup email information. Demo Update We've also Updated out Demo on Steam! The demo that's been up there was over 3 months old. We've made a lot of improvements to our build and systems since then, so we felt it was a good time that our Live Demo reflectedthat. I'm not even going to begin to go through every little bug fix and update, but here are the highlights added to the demo:

• All foliage and Trees have be remade for better look and performance

• All foliage and Trees have wind movement

• Wind movement can be turned off in settings under effects if needed for performance

• Grass now has full player interaction (Bushes and water coming soon)

• Low settings texture sizes reduced to save on VRAM (More optimization coming for low)

• Enemies have better hit reactions and knockback

• Archery (Bow) system as been completely rework, more accurate to crosshairs and fun

• Archers now get a chance to retrieve arrows from shot enemies

• Shield blocking and Bow now have proper strafing animations

• Enemies now drop loot, expect money, goblin teeth, weapons, arrows, potions, and more

• Player camera is now adjusted to sit just above the head per race

• New system in place for creating and saving maps

• New system setup to decide on Solo or Co-op per play session (co-op disabled for demo)

• New items and descriptions added

• New animals added to environment

• Better structures built around Temple for additional secrets and fun

• Hall of Heroes built and introduced, more Statues and names to come

• Mining Crystals now fly out of ore making them easier to see and grab

• Added effect for sword collision on landscape and rocks

• Stamina adjustments made to Bow, Dodging, and Sprinting removed (It served no purpose)

• Stamina Lock on Empty bug fixed

• Screen and Ui bar effect now show when you are trying to act without enough Stamina

• Previous Demo Characters / World saves are erased because they wont work of the new systems

• Individual advanced graphics settings can now be changed correctly which switches to custom

  That's enough haha. Most of the work the last couple months has been on the main map area and systems there, but the work trickles back over the the demo from time to time.

Thank you all for following us on this journey, we can't wait to see you all August 11th!
