@ambrose09_arts Sure send me your portfolio in DMs, I wont be available right now, but I can take a look at it on monday

@RefractiveENT Could we chat over DM about this work?^^

It would seem that the #Luminary #Archer is #GearingUp before the official launch of #Luminary. She's looking a bit ready for a fight, @RefractiveENT.

@CartridgeCultur Badass!

@RefractiveENT gave your demo a good spot on the home page ;) LOVE the new updates! beautiful!

The website is up :) …rtridgeculturemagazinecom.netlify.app Feel free to Subscribe to see all the great content coming and every month will have new and original promotions, interviews, contests, reviews and much much more to come!

@ambrose09_arts Nope, but will be looking into it more after early access release. Throw people my way :)

@RefractiveENT Found someone?

Luminary is designed to be the same experience solo as with co-op. And from the start of map creation you can choose which tier of difficulty you want. We dont auto scale based on the amount of people playing, we allow the players to choose the tier they want. Tier 1 normal, tier 2 Harder with more XP gain and so on.

@RefractiveENT the game has my attention, but i've gotta ask, the focus seems more on multiplayer from what i can tell, am i going to have a lesser experience if i go in solo? is the game scaled and balanced around how many are playing at all?

Who's going to be Number 300? ;)

@loch324 Youll be able to upgrade to other gliders you find eventually :)

@RefractiveENT Gimme a glider that isn’t a beach towel and I’m gotchu fam 👌

@ahmad_kb I can tell, very thorough

@RefractiveENT Your welcome. It took me 40 min to right this. 🙂

@Skett1313 Thanks!

@RefractiveENT Looking forward to playing looks awesome 🤩

@Ruswemberg Yes, its that same experience solo or co-op

@RefractiveENT Sorry don't got it, is playable singles?!

@Ruswemberg Yep :)

@RefractiveENT The game Can be played singles or only co-op??

@SerMedieval @WarhorseStudios Early Access Day 1 launch is right around the corner, August 11th :)

@RefractiveENT @WarhorseStudios I still need to try Luminary too!! I’m so excited for it

I still can’t believe @WarhorseStudios is going to be developing the next LOTR RPG. Absolutely amazing combination

@GameDevMicah @FNCreate @UnrealEngine Hell ya!

Hey! That’s me! Let me know if you get stuck, or want some help optimizing your games and experiences 💪💪💪Cheers! Unreal Engine 5 & UEFN / Fortnite 🔥🔥🔥

@kutdownOngaming There is! Check it out on Steam :) Obviously still before early access so things will only keep getting better, including the combat and animations :)

I really do mean it! Your combat looks better than #avowed In avowed, the combat didn’t seem to have weight behind the blows. Like swords and axes didn’t feel different just animations Your characters look GROUNDED to the environment. Avowed the walking and running seem off. But if there’s a demo for this I’ll be happy to play and share clips

😭 this looks better than #avowed combat

Drop in drop out is only between friends, and sessions are player hosted. We would have to put in a lot more fail safes and design changes if we were going to allow randoms to join. For instance, loot in Luminary is Shared. Someone could technically take all of the loot from your world if they weren't a friend. So its really designed to be played with friendlies since its all PVE

@RefractiveENT Will there be random matchmaking/party finding or will the drop in drop out co-op only work with friends.

@Keyba_Marshal @S_eve7 Female goblin looking up at a long shadow swaying over here face... to reveal is just a knight with a sword about to end their life? Haha

@S_eve7 Don't look @RefractiveENT, DON'T LOOK! It might make you do collabs for your game!

@Gallethril Haha ya I realized how confused some people in the comments were, then saw how this post could have been confusing haha

@RefractiveENT I 100% was like wait... did I miss it releasing??? Checked and I didnt lol Then saw this message haha -panic!!!- :P

@metalliconion Hell ya. We take lots of inspiration for all the games we love for sure, dragon's dogma is one of them :)

@RefractiveENT Love how Dragons' Dogma coded this game looks. I just added it to my wish list.

@Keyba_Marshal How dare it! Haha

@RefractiveENT It is currently sitting at 301 and it rudely told me that I have already Reviewed this game....

@Keyba_Marshal Haha it happens

@RefractiveENT Gosh! Always gotta confuse and scare us lol
