Scouts! One month ago there were 105 maps in Lumencrafts Steam Workshop. .

You submitted another 14 of them and now there are 119 fully playable Lumencraft maps in Steam Workshop . Thank you!

It means that the community still experiments with the gameplay and doesnt play by the developers' rules. It should be this way, so everything's fine . Meanwhile, our team patch the Early Access build and get rid of the bugs that some of you report to us. Once again - thank you for posting your maps and info about them in #share-your-map channel on our Discord server. This time we selected three maps for you guys. Two of them are fast-paced, and the third one is 100% story-focused . Without further delay

Let the Maps Shootout #3 begins!

Just a reminder - the order does not matter - were just sharing maps that we find especially interesting .
Map name: Madness Author: Xmaster13 Direct link To quote Xmaster13: A chill, relaxing, intense, challenging, fun, insane map from the mind of a lumencrafter. 10 waves - ez pz. Stick around & Explore! Our thoughts: very funny, man. This is a survive at all costs type of map. After the third wave (out of ten!) all you get is about a minute for preparation before the fourth wave begins. Did we say that the fifth wave is a boss wave? Yes, it is. Also, its really easy to make a mistake very early in the game - even after 5-10 minutes! There are no clones, so death is permanent.
Map name: Bullets Required Author: thelurpy1 Direct link To quote thelurpy1: Starting area is "safe"... Get your machine gun factory online asap. Watch out for large bug traps. There is only one entrance to your starting zone, funnel the bugs and defend yourself. Our thoughts: thats the story-driven map mentioned above. We highly appreciate all the notes left for the scout and the scraps left for the Scout. In the first minutes, youve got to get as much metal as possible to activate the mine and the machine gun factory that will help you progress. Watch out for the Swarm - its easy to be surrounded by a bunch of enemies, so its better to drill narrow tunnels.
Map name: THE FORTRESS Author: STUNTMAN JAY Direct link To quote STUNTMAN JAY: You have been gifted by the gods, enjoy! Our thoughts: pretty chill map. Youve got to fight the wave after 25 minutes - during the wait, youll be able to upgrade your drill to level 5 to gather Lumen. You'll get the metal from miners, the 8 huge chunks are located on the left side of the base. Build a defense system suitable for your playstyle and fight more than 130 monsters. Wait a minute - theres a new meme for ya:
Maps Shootouts will be published once a month. Every map can be featured. Lets see how many fantastic maps you'll publish. See you at the end of July .

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!
