Luminous Skies: A Short Adventure News

We have a big update for Luminous Skies: Horizons. Two new worlds and outposts open. Heading over to the Royal Fort south of their Capitol on the mainland will give you access to these new zones.

New exploration zones added to the Eastern Outpost world and a small secret as well.

New Item:
Book of Character Swap [Briar]: a portable book can now be acquired so that the main character [Briar] can now swap outside of dungeons. Visit Citra's estate and interact with the book on the table in her study to get it.

New Party Member:
Bianka, the cleric, can be found in the Clear Lake Tavern. She's based off of an early character design that ended up being radically different from what the character ended up becoming (similar to Cass).

4 Questlines:

Southern Outpost Questlines:
Uncovering Syl's past: in order to start this quest the player will need to have completed the quest "Rising Flames" and the follow up conversation with Syl in the Imperial Capitol. Then the player will need to travel to the Southern Royal Outpost and then head west to Phoenix Ember Encampment to start the quest.

Town of Night Rest Questline: head to the Southern Outpost and visit the town of Night Rest with Citra in the party to start. I got the idea for this quest line when I was talking to another developer about game design. So I do my best to take feedback and get new ideas, it just might take a minute and I might end up going in an unexpected direction.

Western Questlines:
The Regent's Ambitions: visiting Taisa's Burrow with Taisa, Geir, and Cass in the player's party will allow them to start the quest line.

The Ronin Questline: visiting Eiji City with Bianka in the party will start this quest line.



Fixed a bug where one of the journal entries stayed in the character's inventory after the quest ended [The Ritual Tower]. If this is the case for your saves, visiting Citra's estate and going into the basement and interacting with the right zone should bring up the troubleshooting menu [Pictured.]

We hope you enjoy the game and have a great day.

We have a major update in store for you this round of patches for Luminous Skies: Horizons [links below].

I'll start with some of the smaller things first:

The difficulty has been increased to several of the enemies on harder difficulties. This was an oversight as these enemies were under powered when compared to some of their counterparts. Some of the larger enemies now have a 20% of wounding their target with a regular attack. We hope that you enjoy the increased challenge.

Added the skill "Energy Strikes" to Nori's skill list.

I've added and updated three accessory items in the game to be character specific. I will elaborate on one that has been in the game for some time [I don't want to tell you about all of them; exploration and finding these things for yourself is part of the fun, after all].

After defeating the Mad Alchemist, the player can return to Oakside and enter into the Temple there. Once inside, there should be a glimmering icon that you can interact with.



It will start a conversation between Briar and Anri.



Once this conversation is finished, a new item will be added and equipped to Anri. It is a personal item, so only he can equip it.



This will go for the other similar items that you may find during your adventures.

The next thing is the addition of more weapons, fourteen more to be exact. This was something that had been backlogged my tasks document. It is, nonetheless, disappointing that I forgot as similar weapons had already been introduced into Luminous Skies: Interstellar. It should be noted that the weapons that have been added are side grades and not direct upgrades to the highest grade weapons found previously. Prior to release, one of my testers requested that I add more stats to the gear made available. So I did. For example. the Brigadine armor and Feather Cap [that can be used by anyone], may have lower stats than their heavier counterparts but they have evasion bonuses that quietly make them stronger than they initially appear. Similarly, weapons, like the Dawn Spear, have a chance to inflict vulnerability on a target with a regular attack [a status effect that the both the Guardian and Defender classes cannot otherwise do with this weapon equipped].

While I will look to the addition of new weapons and armors, it will be no minor task as it will have to comply with existing design philosophy.



Where do you find the new weapons? I don't know. Though rumor has it that their containers stand out from many of the others.

There is a new world available for the player to explore, along with two questlines. In order to do so, the player will have to return to the mainland [heading either to the Frost Port or the Imperial Capitol Docks]. From there, the player must head south of the Imperial Capitol and to an Imperial Fort.



The Royal Empire seems to have excavated the world gate that the players found in a side quest in The Pilgrimage and have been using it to contact other worlds. It would appear that several factors have lead the Empire to have a more diplomatic nature as they have setup trading posts in these regions rather than engage in war.



One of the quests can be started by speaking to the Sultan in Divya City.



The other quest can be started by interacting with the sparkling icon in Tashi Province.

Patch Notes:
Fixed incorrect images showing up during harvesting action on some maps [LSP, LSH].
Improved a few of the maps in The Pilgrimage and Horizons [LSP, LSH]
Random Weapon drops in new areas [LSH]
Fixed Crashes in Frostwind Temple [LSH]
