Lumencraft will leave Early Access on February 28th! 📅

Get ready for single player campaign that will consist of 27 various missions! 💥

Watch the new teaser trailer. 📺


Scouts! 🖖

Thank you for your service. You did well protecting the base, placing the turrets, fighting the swarm, and researching new technologies. We’re here to tell you what’s going to happen NEXT. This is the end of the beginning. The new sun is rising…🌅

Nonetheless, we’re proud of the current incarnation of our beloved game. Our team never surrendered - we patiently implemented new features to Lumencraft. With every new update, we were tweaking the build. 🔧 The results are satisfying, so it’s time to make a step forward. Let’s leave Early Access together!

Don’t worry - we’ll support the game many months after the full release. 🤝

It’s time to share more info with you. For quite some time we were posting some short videos or screenshots that were not a part of the game's build. We made those assets for the upcoming mega feature, that is…

A story mode - it will debut with Lumencraft’s 1.0 release! 🕷️

The campaign will consist of 27 various missions. 🤯

That’s not all for today.

You can check out some of the content that will be released with the 1.0 version of Lumencraft NOW.

It’s available via the beta branch of the game’s build. What’s even more important - it's 99% ready but we’re still doing some polishing here and there. 🛠️

Full release will add a campaign mode with a simple story, 27 missions and meta-progression. It will introduce the main base - a hub where you will be able to upgrade your skills and technology throughout the campaign for the lumen brought from each mission.

Subsequent levels will unlock new content (e.g. new weapons, buildings, technology) and new enemies. 🕷️

How to join the beta branch:

  • go to your Steam Library;

  • right-click on Lumencraft;

  • select 'Properties,’ then 'Betas,’ and choose development Branch.

Download the update, play the game and let us know if you encounter any issues. We also have a channel on our Discord - we highly encourage you to join in and share your feedback.
