My game has a new name: Dawnfolk!

After MONTHS of hesitation, I finally decided on a new game title. Believe me, it was not easy. I've been calling that game "Lueur" for a year and half (and I'm sure I'll still do for a few weeks) so it was just natural for me. I was also anxious - Will the game community like it? - but so far feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.



You can thank my publisher Astra for this, I think I might have given up on changing the name without their help. They also hired Adrien Cantone to make a new key art. I wanted something more colorful and showing the tiles you'll find in the game. He nailed it!

I also edited a new trailer, check it out on the steam page of the game.

So what do you think? Let me know in the comments below!

I'm gonna write a detailed post about the process of changing the game title and identity, and why I did it. If that sounds interesting, you can become a free member on my patreon to get access to it when it's out!

New Endless Game Mode in the Demo!

Hey everyone!

The Endless Replayability event just started on steam. What better time to introduce you to the Endless game mode of Lueur?

The goal is to survive as long as you can! Maps and events are procedurally generated, so every run is unique. It's still a prototype and it will be way different at release, but I thought it was fun enough to share it with you in the demo. It will be available least until the end of the event!

There's a contest going on right now! Join the discord and share a screenshot of your best score in the #contest channel. The winner will get a unique vanity role and will be immortalized in the hall of fame!

Play the demo here.

Lueur is in the #TurnBasedThursday Festival!

Hello everyone!

If you are just finding my game from Turn Based Thursday Fest, welcome!
I’m Darenn, the developer behind Lueur and the Dim Settlers; a miniature survival builder perfect for short and relaxing gaming sessions packed with surprising mechanics (won't spoil, you'll have to play the demo to see them yourself!).

Here is a devlog I published last year to explain my vision for the game and its origins.

Lueur and the Dim Settlers will be participating in the Turn Based Thursday fest until April 8th, so now is a great time to check out the demo right here on Steam!

And if you like the game, be sure to wishlist it so you’ll be notified when the game launches in full - it's also the best way to support me.

Cheers!

Darenn

A legendary publisher played my game, here's why. (devlog)

Lueur made it into the TOP 100 Indie Of The Year!

That's insane, thank you so much! It's always very hard to get visibility when working alone on a game without a publisher. So again, THANK YOU!


There is a second vote going now to get to first place, be sure to vote for Lueur!
