## About This Game
Wishlist/Follow and then Join our Discord and the Army of Luminaries
You are a Luminary, a warrior of light. As your world falls into chaos the
more dark magic is harnessed and exploited (warping the world and its
inhabitants) “You” and your fellow Luminaries evolved to make use of the
world’s less prevalent resource, light magic. With that power, as you grow
stronger throughout your adventures, you will gain the strength needed to rid
your world of darkness, and bring back the light.
MAIN FEATURES of LUMINARY
Aside for the overall graphical fidelity, and ease of access to the Openworld
ARPG genre for all, There are 6 main pillars of Luminary, that the gameplay
and mechanics focus on:
## EXPLORATION AND ADVENTURE
\- A dense world to explore with a robust fun locomotion system that allows
you to go anywhere. Running, Jumping, Gliding, Swimming, Climbing. Just moving
around the world and exploring is truly fun.
## BATTLES AND COMBAT
\- A real time yet forgiving skill base combat system, where you can
dynamically switch between fighting styles with the press of a button. Melee,
Ranged, Magic, Blocking, Dodging, Parries. Play what style best suits you with
a simple switch of your weapon
## CO-OP MULTIPLAYER
\- Drop in Drop out 4 player online OR 2 player local couch co-op. No hassle
and no problems. You will never be dinged for playing multiplayer, with the
exception of having to share all that loot you find
## PROCEDURALLY FRESH
\- A beautiful handcrafted landscape that is densely filled with enemies,
towns, bosses, treasures, etc that are procedurally seed spawned around the
world. Every time you start a new world, locations, rarities and difficulties
change. Explore infinitely, by joining friends in their worlds, or make new
ones yourself with a new game plus.
## LOOT UP AND PROGRESSION
\- Not only are there many different types of weapon/armor/item categories you
can skill up in, but each of those categories have many different variations.
Didn’t find that specific flame sword you were looking for to complete your
horde collection? Join a friends game and try your luck there. They already
found it? Maybe they will trade it to you, for a hefty gold price I imagine.
And not only will you skill up in all weapons/armors/items as you use them,
but your Luminary Level will also increase with experience, unlocking massive
new abilities.
## ROLE PLAYING
\- And last but not least, we want Luminary to not only feel like a game, but
a continually enjoyed experience. There will be all of the aspects you expect
from a role playing game, such as character customization, cosmetics, emotes,
job tasks, etc. Play your character the way you want.
## DREADNOUGHT AND DARK MAGIC – THE GOAL
In the simplest terms, there is one True Goal in Luminary every time a map is
played, Find and Destroy the Dreadnought. Simple right? However, both “find”
and “destroy” may not be such an easy task in the beginning.
The Dreadnought is a Gigantic Beast that spawns in random locations at the
start of the game across a large map. Lurking somewhere in this vast
landscape, exploration will become a real key in finding it. You can go at
this task Solo, or cover ground faster with the help of others. Climb tall
mountains and scour deep valleys, searching for where the Dreadnought calls
home, this time around. The Dreadnought is the strongest and most difficult
enemy to destroy in the game, but fortunately there is a proper way to go
about this fight.
The world is filled with Dark Magic, and all of the creatures, bosses, and
even the Dreadnought feeds off this Darkness for ultimate strength. A
Dreadnought at full strength is a powerhouse, and to attempt this fight at
beginning stages, even with a strong group of four, would still likely be
suicide. Finding the Dreadnought in early game is always helpful, and with the
ability to mark it on the map after discovery, you will at least know where to
avoid, until you can bring down the world’s Dark Magic Level.
## LUMINARIES
Your character is your own. Tied to your account, you can custom create and
progress your character across any world, or gaming platform. At the forefront
of Luminary is Role Playing, and we want the player to choose to look how they
want, and even play how they want. There are no defined classes, you progress
through your actions. Want to get better with fire magic, then use it. How
about your tolerance to poisons? Get poisoned. Bows? then use them. The more
you use any measurable tool/item/weapon/armor the greater your proficiency at
that thing becomes.
However, maybe you aren’t into combat but still want to hang out with your
friends. That’s great, there will be plenty of other Role Playing activities
for you to progress and earn money with, from Fishing, Mining, Animal
Catching, etc. Not every hour spent in Luminary should just be about killing
the Dreadnought, sometimes lets just hang out in a beautiful world together.
