Luminary

Very early alpha right now, needs a lot longer in the oven. Premise is interesting, but it needs a lot of work. Can’t recommend as is but I’ll be interested to see how it looks in a year or so.

Yes it is a beautiful looking game, but it is definitely not early release in the way most think it is suppose to be. But let us break that down first. What is early release? Is it Alpha, Beta or just another name for both? I am 76 years old and have been a gamer all my life. I Alpha and Beta tested years ago when we got paid or rewarded with the game itself. That flew out the door a long time ago . Now we pay to test games and most people don't mind. I sure don't because I'm paying $20 or less for a full blown game when it grows up. lol It beats the $60-90 that some games cost today and there are still plenty of bugs and even flops. So back to this game. I think it is still in Alpha stage. It doesn't matter what anyone calls it Alpha, Beta, Early Release its all mute. It has a good concept clear the world of darkness and make it light again. It has a vast area to play in and explore. It doesn't have much in the world. A few deer a lot of goblins and a few golems. No npc's that I found in any of the towns. But I only played the demo and this for 2 hours so could have missed them. Never did find the pick to mine the ore lol either here or the demo so yea i'm old. The chests are scattered and I mean scattered. You can take out goblin camps and get nothing, you can destroy the stone above the tower and get nothing. You can destroy 100 goblins and get a few potions and arrows but I must say not enough arrows to actually use the bow unless you can one shot things which I can't. The weapons wheel is buggy but the Dev told me it is being worked on. Found a few towns with no people at all. I thought if I cleared the darkness and made the trees in the area white again everyone would come out of the buildings and praise me only to find a few goblin stragglers I missed greet me. That would be a good concept by the way. Clear the darkness and the goblins out of a town and everyone would come back. I didn't find shops to sell or buy anything even though the Dev told me they were there. I found a lot of buildings with signs like a pub and blacksmith shop etc but no shops to use. The fighting is ok but the goblins do shoot through obstacles and you can't lol. Not enough loot of any kind in the few chests you do find. Is the game a 10 of course not. But it can be. Give it time. You did not pay $60 plus for it. Just remember this. We are all testers now days. I live of grid and have been for the last six years. I have carry water to where I am. I have no electricity, sewage or garbage pickup. Nothin near me. I drive once a month to town for food and propane. However I have a small chest freezer, a refrigerator and 8000btu air conditioner, Starlink for internet, an xbox x, a Switch and a 1000 watt home built beats of a computer. It is called solar and it took me 6 years to build the system to handle all of that so I understand waiting and waiting just to turn on an xbox or a computer. You have to wait until the sun comes up and you best be gone before it goes down . Batteries are crazy expensive. I have enough to run the freezer, fridge and internet 24 hours a day. But if it is cloudy out no computer for the day so you wait. This game is not any different you wait and wait some more and hopefully the Devs will come through. You do have to understand this I have no income except the little I get from the VA. Well maybe the Dev is working and doing this part time or maybe it is full time for him too. The point is it is on early release and if it is there to help the dev out to make the game better so be it. Free beta testing went out long ago. Be happy that someone is at least making a game for you to enjoy or dislike. And please stop with all the whining about PVP or PVE sheesh I don't PVP why because there is enough brutality in the world. Team up and fight orcs, goblins, undead what ever. If you want to fight each other join the freaking army. I did for 8 years. I don't play games with pvp that is my choice. The game will be good or it will die and be gone but I have wasted more than $20 in my life for stupid stuff.

The game has some kind of foundation and I get it's just two guys but this isn't enough and it feels clunky. This just isn't worth it for the price and it's too risky to invest the money into it

体験版をプレイして「ああこういうのを作ってるんだな」と期待してウィッシュリストにいれていましたが、いざアーリーアクセス版としてリリースされたのに体験版と何も変わってない。気になる人は無料体験版をやってみてください。アーリーアクセス版でできることの95％が体験版でできます。 画面にがっつりデモ版とか書いてあるけどお願いだからリリースバージョンを間違えたとかいうオチであってくれ・・・ 追記：どうやらこれが正しいアーリーアクセス版のようで、ただでさえ中身があんまりないロードマップもこの開発ペースで達成できるとはとても思えないので返品しておきます 数年継続して開発すればいいゲームになるかもしれませんのでその時を待ちます

Hallo zusammen. Klares NEIN von mir zu diesem Spiel. Grafik ist schön anzusehen aber eine völlig leere Spielwelt. Ab und zu mal hier mal dort eine kleine Gruppe von 4 -5 Goblins, mal ein Reh , das wars...... Komisch singende "Gartenzwerge" die irgendwo versteckt darauf warten vom Spieler zerstört zu werden und mal ne Truhe die man öffnen kann. Eine Map die schön aussieht aber mehr auch nicht, denn weder mein Standort noch irgendwas anderes wird darauf angezeigt. Kämpfe sind recht einfach gehalten, was ja nicht umbedingt schlecht ist aber Gebäude die man nicht betreten kann, keine npc´s mit denen man sprechen könnte, alles nur leblose Deko. Selbst der sogenannte "Laden" ein einfacher leerer Holztisch mit der Aktionstaste "F" mehr nicht. Also NEIN , sry das ich das so hart sehe, meiner Meinung nach keine 5 Euro wert dieses Game. Hab sodort die Rückerstattung beantragt Für alle die es trotzdem versuchen wollen wünsche ich viel Spaß . LG

Developers, if you are reading this PLEASE don’t be discouraged by what I am about to say. Your game has a few positives. Firstly, your character creation is very good for a game this size and the visuals are stellar. However, I can’t help but feel that this build is a little too early in development even for early access. The world is barren and doesn’t really feel like more than a chunk of rock I can walk on and that’s it. Combat suffers from similar issues, not enough variety beside the same mash button combos. Another issue I am having is just getting into the story. There aren’t any exciting intros or characters to meet at the beginning and it makes it hard to get invested. Although, flying to the main island after the tutorial was a cool idea. I also only fiddled with it for a little bit but I think your implementation of frame generation might be a tad buggy, although I am new to pc in general so this might be user error. I look forward to seeing what you guys add and will be glad to come back update my review to “Recommended” when the game feels more lively. Good luck!

Enjoyed my time exploring int this open world game. Trying find the best weapon is always appealing and they are hidden in the corners of the world. Hunting Gnomes and finding chests was satisfying. What was even more satisfying was melting the golem! Being able to explore the game at my own pace without too much noice felt refreshing and I can wait for more content! The game ran smooth on my system. I do wish that were an option to do fast runs but it wasn't a deal breaker, I got used to the pace of the game.

Edit. This is my impression of the angry reviews: You walk into a restaurant and order a booger (yes, I said booger). “I want it now!" “Sir, it isn't cooked yet.” “I understand. That's specifically why I'm ordering it now. I want early access to the booger.” They bring it out partially cooked. You take one bite. "“This is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ RAW!" “Yes.” “Why would you serve this?!” “Because you specifically purchased it before it was finished.” “NOT RECOMMENDED. The foundation is there, but honestly this feels like an unfinished booger. Too risky to invest $19.99 into at this stage.” ____ To the pissed off reviewers... who the ♥♥♥♥ told you that you matter this much? You bought a video game for less than twenty dollars. You did not acquire a controlling interest in the company. Seriously, what the ♥♥♥♥ are some of you crying about? Luminary released into **Early Access**. The developers are literally putting messages in the game asking players what they like, what they don't, and what needs work. They are showing you, directly, that this is something they care about and are still building, and somehow people are encountering unfinished things in the explicitly unfinished game and acting personally betrayed by the discovery. I played maybe ten or fifteen minutes tonight. That's it. This has been sitting on my wishlist for a while, I wanted to get a feel for it before bed, and I actually ran into a pretty serious bug. I got biffed, couldn't respawn properly, chose to travel to the nearest Way Tree or whatever it's called, and when I arrived my controls wouldn't work. That ended my session. It needs fixed. See how easy that is? I can report an actual problem without behaving like the developers broke into my house and stole nineteen dollars off the dresser. Because underneath that bug, I was having fun. The graphics are good, the characters look good, the world immediately made me want to explore it, and there is enough character customization that I can actually make someone I want to play instead of being handed Brooding Edgelord Number 46 with a dead wife, a beard, and unresolved feelings about his father. Thank Christ. If I'm going to stare at somebody's back for thirty hours, let me decide whose back it is. What gets me is the attitude surrounding games like this. Criticize bugs. Criticize mechanics. Tell the developers exactly what happened and what needs work. That's useful, and it's presumably one of the reasons they released into Early Access in the first place. But some of you seem incapable of distinguishing criticism from a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ grievance proceeding. You spent less than twenty dollars on an unfinished indie game and suddenly you're holding a quarterly earnings call. You spend that on porn. You spend more than that ordering food you barely remember eating. You probably have forty games in your Steam library you bought on sale and never installed, but now nineteen dollars has made you an activist for consumer justice. Put the scepter down, Dave. And to the developers: I see what you're doing here. Those messages asking us to tell you what we think matter because they make it obvious there are actual people behind this who give a damn about what they're building. Putting something unfinished in front of the internet and asking strangers to help you make it better takes some guts, particularly when half the internet seems determined to treat recreation as an adversarial relationship. So keep ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ going. Fix the respawn/Way Tree issue, obviously, because I would enjoy controlling my character after I respawn. Take the useful criticism seriously and keep building the thing you wanted to build. I haven't played remotely enough to tell you that you've nailed it, and I'm not going to pretend otherwise, but I've played enough to know that when your game broke, **I wanted it back**. That's a pretty damn good first fifteen minutes. You made something unfinished that made me want to see it finished. That's what Early Access is supposed to do.

現状買わない方がいいです 2000円という値段ですが中身がなく900円くらいが妥当です Game Sparkという会社が「採掘、釣り、動物捕獲、町の発展」と紹介していますが、採掘以外確認できませんでした 「ここから面白くなるかも」とプレイし全ての木と塔を開放しましたが本当になにもないです 戦闘面は単調でボス的ポジションのゴーレムは攻撃パターンがひとつなので暇です マップに表示されていない北側にも塔があるのが目視できますが行けません
