Scouts!

Almost every day we see new Lumencraft maps in Steam Workshop! Firstly, the maps that you share with us are usually really creative. It looks like you enjoy our game, right? We realized that Lumencraft's community is able to entertain itself not only by chats on our Discord server, but also directly via Steam. Secondly, your work prolongs the games life cycle. Its not easy to imagine Lumencrafts' life cycle just 2 weeks after the start of Early Access, because you're constantly exceeding our expectations

When were writing these words, 69 maps are awaiting in the Workshop.

That's a lot. Our team played some of them and decided to recommend some of them to you. So, we're starting a new series.

Let the Maps Shootout #1 begins!

The order does not matter - were just sharing maps that we find interesting.
Map name: Missing in Action Author: StarGameRuby Direct link: Steam Workshop To quote Ruby: You've been sent out solo to explore tunnels near an old Mining Outpost. An escort team is MIA; their mission objective is way above your paygrade to know, but it is your task to find out what happened to them. However, you are on a time limit - the miners who used to man the base disturbed the local swarm and command expects heavy resistance. Find the missing team. Survive. Escape. Our thoughts: the first time we played on this map some of us felt lost, which is good - this is how a lone explorer should feel looking for the miners that went missing. Unexpected encounters with the swarm are inevitable.
Map name: RUN Author: EsACE Direct link: Steam Workshop To quote EsACE:Find Lumen deposit. Don't look behind. Run! Our thoughts: it is what it is. If you dont run, youre dead. If you change your mind and make a wrong turn, youll be dead. Focus and sprint as fast as you can. Whats more, fighting the monsters will only slow you down. Trust us - every second matters.
Map name: The Vein Author: aPness.tw2 Direct link: Steam Workshop To quote aPness: Previous culture has left behind a defense system for you to take advantage of, you must reach the finish! Follow the Tunnels! Our thoughts: lots of Lumen to gather. This map is diverse and just really fun to explore. If you like to invest in your base, The Vein will provide resources. The gameplay becomes even more enjoyable when the Scout finds the defense system from the maps description. Thats all for today. Have fun playing these maps. Remember to write your thoughts about them on our Discord server!

Maps Shootouts will be published once a month.

Lets see how many fantastic maps you'll publish.

If you enjoy Lumencraft, please share your opinion with others. How should you do it? It does not matter - the choice is yours. Its just a friendly request - nonetheless, we will be grateful.

Lumencraft is a top-down action shooter with tower defense elements. Emerge into a fully destructible environment where light and shadow play key roles. Build your base, dig some tunnels and find lumen - humanity's only chance for survival.

KEY FEATURES

BECOME SAVIOUR OF MANKIND
The year 2221: More than two centuries ago, the surface of the planet became uninhabitable. The remnants of humanity struggle to survive without electricity and light. Dreams of a better future died long ago, but a recently discovered mineral has brought a spark of hope. Lumen, a crystal with high energy potency, may be the last chance for a struggling civilization. Scouts, brave miners, have been sent underground to a settlement near the Lumen deposits. New scouts continue to join this mission, but so far, no one has returned. It seems that the darkness of the underground holds more than just natural riches...



DRILL YOUR WAY TO VICTORY
Fight for your survival. Enemies are going to raid your base so be careful and leave some turrets on the watch.

• Defending the underground settlement by direct combat and the use of diversified turrets.
  
• Highly efficient and satisfying digging mechanics.
  
• Explosive weapons. Yes, we have dynamite.

EXPLORE FULLY DESTRUCTIBLE ENVIRONMENT
With a lot of effort and a set of original algorithms, 2Dynamic Games have transformed the open-source Godot Engine into a completely new tool. This allows every bit of terrain (pixel, as we used to call them) to be destroyed, and maps can be painted as if in a drawing program. What’s more?

• Dynamic lights and pixel-perfect interaction with the fully destructible terrain.
  
• Dread atmosphere created through the impactful sound design and a unique 2Dynamic lighting system.
  
• Realistic simulations. Just look at the lava!

AND MORE TO COME
Lumencraft will be in the Early Access stage, which means we will keep adding new features and polishing already implemented ideas. Stay tuned!
