LUNA The Shadow Dust News

Hi there,

We are happy to tell you that after developing for 4 years, LUNA The Shadow Dust, a fully hand-animated Point&Click puzzle adventure is now OUT!

And in the first week, please enjoy your 10% off discount! And hope you will like it!

12 frames per second, 3 layers per frame. Over 250 animations and 20 minutes of cinematics. A nostalgic and time-consuming process - but really worth the challenge for a small indie team of four.



Solve puzzles from different perspectives. Discover a story of true courage with two playable characters drawn together through an inseparable bond.



Spark your imagination and solve a wide variety of puzzles, presented in gorgeous hand-drawn environments. Puzzles work standalone, requiring no 'hidden items' or player backtracking.



We replaced a dialogue system with a series of beautifully hand-animated cinematics telling a mysterious story.



Our composer created an original soundtrack, designed to immerse the player in the emotional highs and lows of the story, kindling goose-bumps along the journey.

Hope you will like it! And please share this news to your friends! So that more people would know our game! And thanks very much!!!

Hello, lovely LUNA The Shadow Dust supporters!

[h2]We made it!! LUNA The Shadow Dust is OUT![/h2]



After a long four-year journey, exceeding our wildest expectations and imaginations, we're finally here!

Delivering the game is the final step along this amazing journey, but that journey itself has been truly unbelievable. During these last four years, we have learned so much more than any other project could have taught us, accomplishing the things we thought only the professionals knew how. Many of the members of our communities have become our dear friends along the way. We know we say thank-you a lot, but truly, without you guys, none of this could have happened!



[h3]Now we have just a few final favours to ask:[/h3]

• It would really mean a lot to us if you can write a review or rate the game. Your critiques can help other players to find LUNA among the vast sea of games!

• Please keep spreading the word for us! What a cool thing to tell people that you’re part of the force that made this game possible!!?

Here we’ve got tons of GIFs to use! https://giphy.com/channel/LanternStudio

[h2]We made it!!! Yeahhhhh!! o(*≧▽≦)ツ[/h2]


With all the love from our heart

Hello, Lovely LUNA The Shadow Dust Supporters!

Less than 3 months to go until the release! Isn’t it exciting!? We promised we would be updating more frequently now, so here’s our Holiday Season update!

[h2]Merchandise[/h2]


We’d love to hear your thoughts on what merchandise we should consider! We have already begun working on some of them, for example; the postcard set, designs for emblem pins and the hardcover art book! Despite this, please vote with your heart. What would you like to see?

Here’s the questionnaire link, please tell us what you think and what other merchandise you’d like to have? ヽ(●´∀`●)ﾉ

[h2]Additional Content and Deluxe Version[/h2]


During the past few weeks, while continuing to work on polishing the final game build, we have also been finalizing some additional content which will complement the game. In February, not only we will release LUNA itself, but also a Deluxe Version including the game, the digital version of the artbook, and the original soundtrack album. You can also purchase them separately.

The Digital Art Book

A massive 124-page PDF, the digital artbook includes both the full-color HD original game artwork and the artist’s hand-drawn sketches. It is like going ‘backstage’ with the game and serves as a visual record of our journey from the very beginning towards release. We hope leafing through the design notes, concept art and drawings within the book will bring you more delight and understanding about the world of LUNA.

We will also produce a limited physical hardcover art book to grace your coffee tables, which is included in some KS reward tiers. The physical artbook contains an additional 32 high-grade printed pages of exclusive content over the digital version and features some of our most secret game production content, unavailable anywhere else! We will make this available for sale separately at a later date.

Original Game Soundtrack

Without any dialogue, the music in LUNA plays a crucial role in the game’s storytelling. Designed to immerse the player in the emotional highs and lows of the adventure, the LUNA OST kindles goose-bumps along the journey. Inspired by the music from games like Journey and Ori and the Blind Forest, this album features 34 tracks with over 80 minutes of original music by composer, Wang Qian.

[h2]Kickstarters Exclusive Contribution Page[/h2]
