Luminous Skies: A Short Adventure News

Luminous Skies Update and Announcements May 2024


Various bug and spelling fixes [implemented over the course of the last major announcement], including the removal of one of the NPCs accidentally showing up.

5 New companion conversations added:



On Training
Complete the Quest: An Eye For An Eye and visit the new Frostwind Training Ground.

Tempered Expectations
A new conversation can be had on the 2nd floor of the Mages Academy [requires both Senka and Fionn in the party].



An Amusing Sight and Heirlooms
Two conversations can be had with Lina in the Clear Lake Settlement: one in the shop and the other in the camp outskirts [prereq: have the conversation with her at the encampment north of Thorn Creek].



A Typical Day
One new conversation can be had with Irida in the Clear Lake Tavern [prereq: after recruiting Irida, the player needs to talk to her near the well in the town of Thorn Creek]

New locations to explore in the Clear Lake Settlement [the shop and the tavern].

New explorable location in Frostwind: Training Ground. Can be accessed through the overworld map north of Frostwind or by following the trail to on the outskirts of Frostwind.


Progess updates for Luminous Skies: Interstellar.



Primarily, I was working a new exploration zone for Luminous Skies: Interstellar. It's a city planet. It is a bit larger than the contested zone that was previewed in Horizons and it has a series of missions that take place directly after those missions. [The area in Horizons was created to demo what could be possible in a short period of time and it is a practice that will be carried over into creating new exploration zones for Horizons]

A couple of new conversations were also added on board the ship [given the player meets the requirements].

I figured that it'd help to at least let you know what I was working on, even if it wasn't something that could be played right away.

If you've been on the fence picking up the DLCs, a deep discount sale should be happening soon for Luminous Skies: Horizons.

In any case, we hope that you are enjoying the game and have a great day.

Luminous Skies: Weeklong Discount



We currently have a 20% discount for Luminous Skies: The Pilgrimage until April 22th.

If you're not sure you are more than welcome to play A Short Adventure for free.

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

Luminous Skies: The Obligatory April Fools Update

I had a whole fake update list prepped but I decided not to post it [I might do it below in the comments section].

Not because taking pot shots at current monetization isn't funny. But I didn't want someone taking what I wrote, in satire, seriously.

That said, there has been an update to Luminous Skies: The Pilgrimage.

Embark on a new questline in Luminous Skies: The Pilgrimage. Visit the peaceful fishing village by using the world gate found in the quest "The Way Back", which is a follow up quest to "Unaccounted Stone". It can be found in a cave south west of Thorn Creek on the mainland.







Pre-requirements: Complete the Pilgrimage Questline and have Ives and Maple in the party. Speak to Eric, he's usually wandering around the north east end of the fishing village.

It is a silly series of quests, appropriate for today.

We hope you're enjoying the game and have a great day.

Luminous Skies: Spring Event


There's a hidden spring event for both The Pilgrimage and Horizons DLCs.

To start it, the player will have to visit Thorn Creek and talk to this NPC and will mention some activity in the forest to the north.



After doing so, this location will appear in the overworld map.



This will lead to an explorable forest zone. There should be a small grey rabbit wandering around the map; interacting with it will start the boss encounter.



Once done, the player can revisit the town of Thorn Creek to reactivate the event.

This is just a fun little encounter that I wanted to share.

I hope that you are enjoying the game and have a great day.

Luminous Skies: Horizons Major Update

After much effort on our part, the new update for Luminous Skies: Horizons is here.

The mainland is now open to explore in Horizons. All previous zones should be available to play and explore.

We have not 1, not 2, not 3, but 5 recruitable companions. That's right, we went overboard this update.



Lina who can be recruited after completing the Mender's Inn Quest that can be started by finding the marker in the shop at the Capitol City.



Lapo and Maylis can be picked up at the Inn at Frostwind.



Neve can be recruited by starting the Quest Werminn Hunters, which can be found at the shop in Frostwind.



To get the Irida the Bard, there is a missing persons notice found on the Inn at the south east town of Thorn Creek and she can be picked up mid quest.

Completing the Mages Academy questline will open up another recruitable character.




There is a crafting mini game to forge pieces of dragon armor. As long as the player has enough scales, they will be able to forge them without having to pay the cost but it is possible to mess up, so the player will have to be careful.



The swarm blaster mini game can be found in an encampment in the Eastern Frontier, to the west of Clear Lake.

There are almost a dozen new quests to pick up.

We have an additional announcement:

Since before the launch of Luminous Skies, I've been at work on another standalone DLC. It is a Sci-Fi RPG called Luminous Skies: Interstellar. The price will be $11.99 and we plan to bundle with the other DLCs for the price of $19.99. If you have already purchased the other DLCs, we have you covered as the Interstellar DLC will be frequently on sale.







If you're uncertain about picking up Interstellar, there's a standalone mini campaign in Luminous Skies: Horizons. Visit the Commonwealth Facility on the northern end of the Shorehaven Isle. There's a training facility to test your strength and there's four more companions to recruit, making the total 9 and not 5 as advertised. Recruiting all four will allow you to board the shuttle in the living space basement and take it to a contested planet and become at least briefly familiarized with the various factions in Interstellar. The Cargo Claimer mini game has been added to Luminous Skies: Horizons [originally seen in the Pilgrimage DLC].



We hope you have been enjoying the game and have a great day.
