Like Lumote, we’ve been pressing through the darkness trying to find out way. We’re at GDC right now but we’ve already started making a some new noise and have lots of new screen shots up for Lumote.
Don’t forget to follow us on twitter & facebook.
Stay tuned for more Lumote!

Hello Luminauts!
March has been a good month for us, we went to GDC and came back to Vancouver with fire in our belly to keep going strong. We’ve been hard at work fleshing out the world, building levels and expanding on our enemies and mechanics. We’ve also spent quite a bit of time planning what our next steps should be how we expect Lumote to progress.
One of the key things we wanted to do was lock down what the main enemies, mechanics and abilities.
We’ve made an enormous amount of progress on Lumote since the Unreal Game Jam in October, and we’re very excited to present our very first gameplay trailer!
Since deciding to turn Lumote into a full project we’ve added two new Luminauts. Arn will be weaving his graphical illusionary magic into the fabric of Lumote, and with 20 years experience we’re sure he can make more than baskets. Dark Arps assumes the role of audio mangler.
As mentioned in our last post, we would be taking our jam game Bump on as a full project.
So with that in mind, I’m happy to officially announce the game as Lumote.
Play as Lumote the glowing cube. Living in a world of darkness, you must jump to expand your light radius. But be careful, when you can see something it can see you, and your light may wake things you’d rather avoid.
So on the Saturday of the Unreal Game Jam we started to realize that our jam project was quickly becoming more fun and exciting to play and than the thing we’ve been working on for the previous 2 to 3 months. So by the time we submitted on Sunday night we were pretty decided on turning the game into a full on finished project. Now that the winners have been announced and we’re in the list, we’re even happier to continue with it.
