Lumina is a bright and wondrous world. Nothing, but peace reigns upon it. Conflict and War? They rarely happen. In this world, humans live with the Ludivines. They are beings on a higher pedestal, because they have the ability to manipulate the ominous source of energy... "Magic". , Unlike the humans who defy the law of nature, the Ludivines have always lived in the forests and they have always carried great pride of themselves---pride unbeaten by any.

However, there is one whose pride would be considered...questionable.

Lucile is a Ludivine had been disowned by her family, mainly her father, because she treats humans as if they were equals. She's shown interest in their odd, but curious inventions rather than focusing on the traditions of her people. Often lectured to abandon that odd interest, she has to make a decision to give up one or the other. She makes a decision to leave her home and her family. She lives near a river, not too far from her old home and not too far from Rolan town with Bell, the young feline spirit, who she had met during her trip.

Since then, Lucile has done several odd jobs, including one that forced her to explore the ruins of her hometown. And what she discovered changed her life and her worldview...



Lucile:

Age: 16 years old
Description:
She's a young and joyful girl who decided to leave her village because of her too many argument with her father.
Lucile is a airheaded girl and can be capricious sometimes but she's always smiling and very sociable.
Because of her Ludivine pride, she doesn't hesitat to help human in need.

Bell:

Age: ???
Description:
A young cat spirit. The spirit can take a human and animal form and can talk.
Bell was always alone and can fight pretty well. She meet Lucile few days after she left her village and since then, they lived together.
Bell really appreciate Lucile. She feel to be like a big sister to her.
Unlike Lucile, Bell is more introverted.



No more PM in here, the battle is still a turn based system but with a AP (Action Point) system.

There is six icon in the top-right of this screen.
These are AP. With them you can perform more than one action in one turn. Each action use one or more AP,. (Magic for example)
Each character have 3 AP and if they use 3 AP in a turn they won't be able to perform another action until the next turn.
Don't worry, if you have a skills who requiere more than 3 AP you can always borrow AP from your party members.

Skills:

Most of skills are in weapon and need SP (Skill Points) to be able to get and use them permanently.
You can obtain SP by defeating monsters and when you lvl up.

Quest:
To do quest, you need to find a NPC with a bubble like this:

He'll explain his problem and a quest will be add to your quest journal.

The numbers of stars represent the quest difficulty.
You can access to your quest journal in the menu.

Back to the project for real

Heh heh, well yeah. In case of you hadn't noticed it I'm back to the project since few weeks and this time, it's for real. You see, I tried to focus on my other project but I could not help to think of this one so after few maps I decided to work on Lumina for a while.
You might didn't know, but Lumina also participated to a french contest and only won the soundscape award. Adding to that I received several review and critic. So, I'm planning to change few things from the beginning of the game.
I started with the Rolan Town:
old version:


New version:


Those next environment will follow:
-Alnoa Forest
-Alnoa Village
-Stars (A big city I didn't show yet)

Lucile's complaint:
While I like her, we told me a lot that Lucile is annoying. What do you guys think ?
As for me, I think I'll reduce her capricious nature a little. As well of making her less naive.
But only for the beginning of the game. Lucile is supposed to grow in the game.
Aside from that, I'm very motivated to work on Lumina ! Ironically, I will not be able to release another demo soon but I will guaranty you that the game development will be fast...For this time at least.


PS: I not forget the project I told you in the previous blog. I'll talk about it later.

Casual RPG. Graphics are really nice and goes well with the laid-back nature of the game. Plot and battles are also pretty easygoing. Dialogue is translated from french, so it is generally pretty strange ("poorer than me, you die...") but I knew what characters meant most of the time. Unfortunately, a noticeable amount of text didnt get translated, you might want to check the game for those.

Game is pretty easy, but can be surprisingly unforgiving if you make mistakes. I got killed by beginner flowers when I missed an attack at the start of the game and got a game over. Also got killed once by the demo's final boss when I decided not to heal at 50% when he spam double earthquake. The mechanics in this game can make you very overpowered, but you still need to pay attention.

Someone mentioned this already, but I also got the blackout on completing the crystal hunt minigame in the elf village. Probably should fix that.

I recommend this game for sure, it's a casual walk through some very nice looking landscapes and you really should try it out.
