## [EA Small Upodate] -- 2022-08-12

Scouts! Last time we reshaped Lumencrafts gameplay by turning the experimental update into the mighty Giga Update that ended up as a really important part of the games Early Access build. Now its time for something different, but were sure that youll "feel" the changes instantly - a few of them refer to the way of defending your base.

3 Third stop: co-op!

The last stop: everything else.

## [EA Regular Update] -- 2022-12-01 - VERSION = 8288

Hello Scouts! Many thanks for the positive feedback on our latest update! We are happy that the direction in which we are developing our game together with you is a good one. It's that time of the year, during which you can nominate Steam games for The Steam Awards and we're happy to be on board this year with Lumencraft!

We would be grateful for every single one of your votes!

Scouts! Did you miss us? This time the announcement is short, but it changes pretty much everything. We decided to take a different approach to our beloved game: the experimental update leaves the beta stage, which means that the changes it brought are now applied to the main Early Access build of the game. We already covered this topic in the previous issue of Lumencrafts Steam news Key features of the update:

• Procedural maps: from baked handcrafted maps to 100% procedurally generated roguelike levels!
• New Weapon: Lumenal Discharger - a dramatic armament charged with a lightning beam.
• Balance changes: many costs changed from metal to Lumen, requirements added for some upgrades (eg. have a building placed)
• New Steam achievements: unlock 80 new achievements - some are easy and some are tricky!
• New languages: the game is now available in French, Spanish and Russian.
• Improvements and fixes: various UI, VFX, and sound changes.

The game will debut in 2023 also on Nintendo Switch.

Scouts! Welcome aboard once again BREAKING NEWS: we invite you to check out our most experimental update of Lumencraft so far. This update is for the beta version available on the development branch. This build of the game is highly experimental - even more than usual. We have already spent over a week testing the package, but literally anything might break. Please proceed with caution. We strongly recommend you to back up your save files before moving onto the experimental branch. How to join the experimental branch: [olist]

select 'Properties, then 'Betas, and choose Beta Branch [/olist] Download the update, play the game and let us know if you encounter any issues. We also have a channel on our Discord: https://discord.gg/p4pzffEfmA #feedback - we highly encourage you to join in and share your feedback. Lets continue with a proper explanation. Sometimes, the process of shaping the game gets out of hand. Thats the case here. Who doesnt like to rediscover the given possibilities? Its like rekindling the fire within the team, it's all about doing it repeatedly. Until its done correctly. Until were proud of the results. Taking this road is exciting and risky, but who does not take risks doesnt drink champagne. We truly love surprising Lumencrafts community. This time we also surprised ourselves. First of all, we added randomly generated maps.
Yes, now you can re-live all the nightmares of Lumencraft in a way you probably never expected before. Explore, drill, improvise, adapt, take care of your base and your own back. You never know what lies ahead. Secondly, new translations are available now - we added French , Spanish and Russian languages to the game. Its good to know that our game is now even more accessible to audiences all over the world. Look out! Take cover! Beware Lumenal Dischager - the brand new weapon is available in the Map Editor! Use it wisely.
Whats more, have fun unlocking 80 new achievements on Steam! Theres plenty of reasons to spend long, cold nights with Lumencraft.

Scouts! Long time no see, huh? We were doing things along the way. We still did not recover well after this years Pozna Game Arena! Thank you for visiting the Star Drifters booth and all the chit-chats we did on-site. Were glad youre into Lumencraft! The third issue of Maps Shootout was submitted on July 1st. Back then, there were 119 fully playable maps on Steam Workshop. A few months later you made 10 more.

When were writing these words, there are 129 maps in total!

Lets get spooky. Two months ago Lumencraft participated in Feardemics Fear Fest: Black Summer 2022. We made a new map dedicated to this event. Its called Fear the Darkness . Halloween will happen in a few days, which means that Steam Scream Fest will start pretty soon

Its time to tell you that well exceed the temporary availability. Play the Fear the Darkness map during Steam Scream Fest!

Hello Scouts! Lets start on the high - our team is busy working on a big and important update, but to not keep you waiting too long, today we are launching a update packed with various QoL things that were requested by our players. Have a great weekend! Whats new? Among many bug fixes, there is a new demolishing feature that allows the destruction of buildings more conveniently (including walls!).
Also, the inventory was improved - your items will no longer change place when a stack is depleted. There are also some improvements to the map editor, most notably support for Steam Workshop tags. Oh, and there is also a new adventure map: Desert Excavation. Lets pretend for a moment its not a biggie. Just kidding, it is a biggie. The new map is, well, sandy.
The full list of changes:

## [EA Regular Update] -- 2022-10-14 - VERSION = 7690

Salute! When were writing these words, were on our way to Pozna - one of the biggest cities in Poland. At the beginning of every Autumn, MTP Pozna Expo is transformed into the location of one of the largest computer, console, and multimedia entertainment trade show in Central and Eastern Europe

Pozna Game Arena, here we come! Save the date: 07-09.10.2022 Booth 23 at Pavilion 7

First Dwarf, our upcoming Action RPG

Scorchlands, the adorable city-builder with bird-like characters (theyre actually called Giwis )

Brewpub Simulator, the game for all pub enjoyers

Lumencraft

Yesterday, on our Facebook, we asked you one simple question. How many times did you hop on your chair when a nearby group of spiders popped up from the ground? Lumencraft, without a doubt, has lots of horror elements. Youll find them in pretty much every important area of the game: exploring an abandoned base can raise your blood pressure. Stay aware! Today, Fear Fest: Black Summer 2022 will start. This is an online event created by our buddies at Feardemic. Cheers guys! They decided to make a celebration of everything-horror related. We signed for the gig right away. Lumencraft is one of the 89 (!) games participating in the event. Expect interviews with the developers, lots of fun stuff and hours of broadcast with a bunch of really interesting influencers. The livestream starts today (September 6th) at 7 PM CEST / 10 AM PST. [previewyoutube=4kA5dEBviNg;full][/previewyoutube]
For the last few weeks, we were working on a dedicated update for this event. Voila! Its ready. As somebody once said (in fact, lots of people said that quote before us): its BIGGER, BADDER, MORE BAD. Theres a new map, new objects, completely new features, new experience-changing gameplay systems You asked for it, we delivered aaand added some flavors here and there. Heres a list of all changes - beware. thats not a Scout BTW. One of the most important things we added in this update is the reset score. It means that the leaderboards await for your scores - show off your skills!

Scouts! This is your 2Ds speaking. For a few weeks now we were teasing a new UI in the game. We know that you already saw the different pop-up windows in-game, but today we can finally say it out loud We finished implementing the new UI to our game. And yes, its fresher than the cold cucumber-watermelon salad with ice, served in the middle of summer. Also, the main menu got new robes. Watcha think bout em?




This is not the only very important feature thats a part of this update to the Early Access build.

The performance boost we added truly is a gamechanger for all AMD Radeon and Steam Deck owners!

Hello everyone, you probably wonder why theres a graphic with a screen taken from the Nintendo Switch version of Danger Scavenger. The answer is simple - we wanted to make an announcement summarizing our work done between January and July of 2022 - when were writing these words, Driftland is still our most popular franchise. Unfortunately, nothing really happened during this period in Driftland camp. Nonetheless, you can get the game in many discounts that pop up every once in a while (usually during Steam/GOG offers/events). But, yknow, theres always something cookin. Be patient.

Scouts! Let's assemble once again. After a few hotfixes and smaller updates our team has finished the second bigger update to Lumencraft. Once again we did our best to get rid of the bugs, do lots of tweaking and fix what needed to be fixed. Publishing a new major update means that new features are coming to the build. Santa came earlier this year. Firstly, sit comfortably and watch the video we did celebrating releasing the update number two. The commentary was recorded by Pawe Mogia, Lead Software Architect of our team . [previewyoutube=lwch0qAi5-o;full][/previewyoutube] Are you excited? We cant wait to see you paving your way with flamethrowers and running away from the turtles!

To sum up, what we added:

NEW MAP , LAVA , AND HI-RES TEXTURES

ENEMY: TURTLE | WEAPON: FLAMETHROWER

So we decided to focus on it before the next major update! We mentioned some of the upcoming changes in the video at the beginning of this news, but in case you missed it

Were working on a new, great User Interface (UI) . Whats more, get ready for the robotic helpers and their workshop as a new building, coming soon to the game!

Theres more, as usual. We will do our best to include online multiplayer in our roadmap. Currently theres a local shared screen or Steam Remote Play co-op for 2 players.
Please dont cry, we didnt want to deal EMOTIONAL DAMAGE. Lets change the topic. Three new bundles are available now on Steam! 1 LUMENCRAFT X URAGUN, the one focused on action https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/26471/Lumencraft_x_Uragun/ 2 ANOMALY 2 X LUMENCRAFT, the one focused on tower defense https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/26538/Anomaly_2_x_Lumencraft/ 3 MECH BUNDLE, known for its variety: by buying it, youll get Danger Scavenger, which is one of the developed games by Lumencrafts publishers - Star Drifters, and Mech Mechanic Simulator https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/26176/Mech_Bundle/ Just a reminder - if you bought one of the bundled games before, you can buy the second half of the bundle with the same discount without paying for the game you already have.

Scouts! First of all If you checked out our booth at the ICE Krakw Congress Center during Digital Dragons 2022, thank you! Reception of Lumencraft from the conferences participants was great. Taking Steam Deck with us was a smart move - we were able to show our game during the short no-electricity period on day one of the conference . After two days, our team was tired but satisfied. Proof? Photo from the graphic above was taken around 5 PM during the second day of DD.

Scouts, assemble! The time has come we did our best to tweak the latest Lumencraft build. Now, we can finally share it with the world. Today, the game enters one of the most important stages of its life cycle. Early Access is probably the best way to see what works great, and what needs some tweaking. This stage is exciting for every team working on a project we can see how the existing community grows bigger. Its hard to explain how creative input from people enjoying the game affects developers. We hope that Lumencrafts community will be bigger than bosses attacking the base! Lumencraft will enter Early Access TODAY, on April 13th (Wednesday), at 6 PM CEST/12 PM EST. Get your copy on Steam or GOG.com! and join to our community! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1713810/Lumencraft/ Watch Lumencrafts EA launch trailer: [previewyoutube=ldgf-iLMxxY;full][/previewyoutube] As we informed in one of our previous Steam announcements that Lumencraft is a unique mix of top-down shooter, mining, and tower defense game. We mentioned names such as Alien Breed, Darkwood, and Riftbreaker. We are proud to announce something that we worked on together with EXOR Studios....
You can get Lumencraft and The Riftbreaker on Steam in a limited bundle, available now with 20% discount. https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/25666/The_Rifbreaker_x_Lumencraft_Bundle/ That means you get two great games at an even better price. Just a reminder the main Lumencrafts features are:

• Highly efficient and immensely satisfying digging mechanics.
• Various futuristic technologies will allow to improve both your digging and killing potential.
• Map editor and full Steam Workshop support.

Hello, Scouts! None of us expected so many players to participate in the playtests. There were 1312 participants! It truly is a number beyond our imagination. Thank you very much. The feedback that you submitted gave us a new perspective on the game. Getting a fresh insight into Lumencraft's gameplay is always invaluable. Today, its time to announce the winners of the MAKE A MAP, WIN A PRIZE contest! Before the end of the contest, 10 maps were published via Steam Workshop. Some of you shared more than one map! Thank you for sharing a glimpse of your creativity with us. Our team had to choose 3 maps. Lets remind you of the rewards in the contest: - creators will be honored in the games credits; - the chosen maps will be a part of the Editors Choice section in Lumencraft; - winners will receive Steam keys to previous games published by Star Drifters: Danger Scavenger and Driftland: The Magic Revival. Without further ado : Area I sector 228 by Super57 Lumen farm by Guixix Lumen Hold by SolarXD. Congratulations ! To receive the Steam keys to both games, please write an e-mail confirming your participation at the address: office@stardrifters.com . We cant wait to see other players from the Lumencraft community having fun on these maps. They are enjoyable and made with love. Whats more, it always feels great when the studio provides the tools, and the community remixes something or makes new content entirely from scratch. The results surprised us positively. Now, its time to shape the game before the Early Access stage. Well do our best to prepare the best build possible. Wishlist Lumencraft and give us a follow on Steam , join our Discord server and follow us on Facebook and Twitter . https://store.steampowered.com/app/1713810/Lumencraft/ Lets wait patiently for the upcoming start of the Early Access! 2DynamicGames

Hello, my Scouts! Long time no see, my Scouts! Forgive us for this disappearance, but we were super busy with Playtests and preparations for the big day. Yep, you heard that right! Early Access is coming. Keep reading for more juicy info! Now, without further ado Welcome to the second volume of Lumencraft Devlog! [previewyoutube=CnspGpXBNoY;full][/previewyoutube] Swarm and how it finds you Today we want to discuss enemies - you know, the friendly little bugs that totally arent annoying and totally arent destroying all your hard work. Currently, we have 3 different AI systems for enemies. Number one is your very favorite Basic Swarm - small, fast, aggressive.
Basic Swarm was introduced in the first publicly available build. It was the core of wave attacks and we quickly learned that the absolute top number that the game can support is 500 on the high end PC. When the tiny swarm was attacking your base every 10 minutes - this is it, thats our AI. As you may have noticed, the behavior is pretty simple as those bugs have only one target, one purpose. Dont expect them to suddenly do something super smart. If they do, its game over - for everyone, the AI is self-conscious and these sci-fi movies you like so much arent only movies anymore. Jokes aside, the Basic Swarm has only 3 objectives:

• go to the player core,
• attack the player on sight,
• attack anything the player constructed on the way to the core.

• No collision ahead
• Target in range of attack
• Available attacks: Punch, Smash_AOE

Hello, Scouts!

WIN PRIZES

Hello, Scouts! Guys, what is happening! We are super excited to announce that the playtests are here! Prepare your drills, because Lumencraft is ready (well, almost) to suck you into action. PLAYTESTS While you are reading this you shall also be downloading the newest version of Lumencraft. We worked really hard to deliver you the best possible drilling experience and we hope that you will like it! And if you have any suggestions, feel free to tell us. During those 3 weeks, together we will ensure that Lumencraft is prepared for Early Acess! Is lumen not shiny enough? Is Boss not badass enough? Is swarm not annoying enough? LET US KNOW. This is a pre-Early Access stage so we are putting extra, extra effort into polishing our precious lumens. Your feedback is super, super, super important. Like really super. We would price it around 1000 lumen crystals per report. To summer up, for 3 weeks (till 7th March) from now, you can play Lumencraft for free. Enjoy and share your feedback with us on Discord !
WHATS NEXT? You may wonder what will happen next. We are not going to spill the beans right now, but the release is coming. And its making big steps ;) We will be updating Lumencraft often during the playtests, but we expect that if someone finds a boss-sized bug, we will need more time to fix this. (Fingers crossed there will only be a few swarm-sized problems!) So after playtests, we will get back to working on this version. Till the release. And then? I think you already know Stay with us, report everything that seems wrong, suggest everything you want, and most importantly - have fun drilling! HAPPY ________ DAY! One more thing! Have you heard what day it is? Of course, you have! Its the Lumencrafts Playtests Day! Ha! Ha! You thought Im gonna say Valentines Day, didnt you? Nope!

Attention Scouts! WE ARE GOING TO PGA (Pozna Game Arena). And we would like to invite you - our dear Scouts - to meet us at this event. Join us! We have pins!
THE BOOTH 43 This year PGA will take place in two big halls. One of them - with number 5 - is the promised land for all indie games lovers. In Indie Games Zone you can meet awesome indie devs. Chat with them, play their games and give some feedback. It is also a promised land of Lumencraft fans. This is your first chance to meet our whole team (and even our friends from Star Drifters) face-to-face! See you at booth 43. We will have Lumencraft pins with us! And a brand new version of the DEMO. We are staying in Pozna for 3 days! The event starts on Friday and we are super excited to spend this weekend playing Lumencraft with you And remember: to help us survive in this unwelcoming environment. Wishlist the Lumencraft and give us a follow on Steam, join our Discord server and follow us on Facebook and Twitter https://store.steampowered.com/app/1713810/Lumencraft/ Join our fight! We need your drills! 2Dynamic Games

Attention Scouts! First of all: DEMO is getting a huge update! We would love to hear your opinions about the new version of pre-alpha Lumencraft Of course, the best way to express your feelings is by talking face to face. Meet our whole team at PGA! IMPORTANT CHANGES We took to heart your suggestions and soon Lumencraft DEMO will get an update. There are a few things that we were asked about especially often. Some of them are small quality-of-life changes and some of them are not so easy to make, but highly demanded features. Without further ado, lets dive into it!

Post EGX demo update

Attention Scouts! First of all, thank you, thank you and, one more time, thank you! Your support during the last 10 days was just incredible. Lots of feedback, countless hours spent with Lumencraft DEMO, videos on Youtube and so many people waiting in line on EGX to play and talk with us. We are extremely thankful for all of this. To show you our gratitude we decided that DEMO will stay on Steam! Lets dive in. How was EGX? Thanks for asking. It was great! We made new friends (its SplatterCatGaming ), showed people our game and caught some Pokemons Nevermind. I heard that a picture is worth a thousand words so enjoy the photos we made!
We are also working on some MOVING PICTURES - what a black magic, am I right? You can expect them tomorrow on our social media. [previewyoutube=1FMgatkyEKs;full][/previewyoutube] Where do we go next? We are heading home right now, but soon you can meet us again. We will be attending PGA and Dev.Play events. So if you dream about Lumencraft pins (I know, they are rad), you may still be able to get them! See you on PGA!
Why DEMO is still here? Originally, it was planed, that DEMO will be available during Steam Next Festival + EGX as those were two major events we were attending. However, your positive feedback melted our hearts just like lava melted your bases. Someone suggested that it wouldnt hurt to keep DEMO a bit longer, so a few hours later Im here, writing this Steam Announcement. You are getting extra 21 days with Lumencraft! Then, during the spooky scary Halloween night, the DEMO will again disappear in the dense mist of development. At least if you dont make us keep it You seemed to enjoy our DEMO a lot, but we find it quite outdated. Many bugs were fixed, many tunnels were dug, and many upgrades were made. You can expect the DEMO update pretty soon. TL;DR Lumencraft DEMO stays on Steam till the end of the month. Gonna update soon. And once again we ask you to help us survive in this unwelcoming environment.

Dear Scouts, this is your first chance to save humanity! Lumencraft's DEMO is out now! Don't hesitate. It's a limited-time offer as DEMO will be here only for Steam Next Festival and EGX. A WORD FROM DEVS We are incredibly excited to show you our work. It cost us a lot of time, sweat, and coffee... But it's finally ready. Well, ready enough. It's still a DEMO of an Early Access game. Many of you have seen our game on trailers, on screenshots, on online articles (PC Gamer has written a sweet article about us. We are still flattered ), on our friends' TikTok account and kept saying "Hey, this looks like this or that game I used to play. I hope it's just as cool." It's pretty interesting to hear feedback like that. Some of you correctly guessed our inspirations, and some of you suggested games we didn't even know existed. Everyone sees something different in Lumencraft, and we think that's a good thing. We are aware of our game's potential and the many improvements that still need to be made, but we didn't expect so many enthusiastic comments on social media. We're grateful for that. It's a huge power-up.
JUST REMEMBER We want you to remember that many things will change before we can call it a day. The gameplay mechanics, the graphics, the balance of the game, almost everything changes very quickly. For example, two weeks ago, the cost of single dynamite was 10 metal scraps. (One of our testers still misses those days ) Generally speaking, this DEMO does not represent the final version of Lumencraft. ENJOY THE DRILL What more can we say? We hope you have fun playing Lumencraft and leave reviews so we can keep working on the game Feel free to post your comments, ideas, or constructive criticism on the Steam Community page and our Discord server. Happy drilling!

Hello world! Welcome to the official announcement party Today is the day the world will hear about Lumencraft! Make yourself comfortable and get ready to go down to the depths of the Earth
LONG STORY SHORT * radio noise* Hello?... Hello? Im recording this for whoever will find it. Hope things look better when you listen to me. The year 2221. The planet's surface became uninhabitable over a century ago. Today, we - the remains of humanity - struggle to survive without electricity and light. Dreams of a better future died a long time ago, but a recently discovered mineral brought a spark of hope. Lumen - crystal of high energy potency can be the last chance for our struggling civilization. This mineral can drastically increase the odds of our survival. We have sent Scouts, our brave miners, under the ground. Its almost impossible to survive there, but we dont have much choice. A settlement was built near the estimated deposits of Lumen. It may sound pretty simple. Just dig and collect, but no one came back from there so far. New Scouts keep trying and I believe one of them will save us. If they succeed, I will record more tapes. If they fail Well, there wont be any energy to do so nor will there be anyone to listen to this.
