That was a lot of work, but I think its worth it. We hope that you - our dear Scouts - will continue to participate in the development process. Lumencraft is a game we always wanted to play. Now, lets turn it into a game that will also satisfy all of you here. As you may see in video below, we have started testing co-op options. We cant promise you anything yet. We are just saying that we hear you, we want Lumencraft to be a better game and we are doing our best. Oh, and one more thing. How many players should be there in co-op? I think that 5 players at the same time sounds good. [previewyoutube=wIv_2EU52OQ;full][/previewyoutube] We also nerfed some traps we have previously set for you in DEMO. So for time being the underground become less deadly. MEET US AT Pozna Game Arena! We are heading to another LIVE EVENT!
