Luminous Skies: A Short Adventure News

Added 2 new quests to The Pilgrimage. These will have follow up quests in Horizons. [LSP]

To start the first quest, the player will need to have completed the Pilgrimage questline and then talk to the King in the Imperial Capitol.

The second quest should only require Madoc be in the party and can be started by simply visiting the crater impact site in the desert region on the south east mainland.

Both quests are technically end game content and the player should be the appropriate level before taking them on.

Fixed Clipping issue with some of the terrain on certain maps and fixed a few issues that possibly caused some save files to crash [LSP].

Made a skill adjustment so that one of the [currently] unused skills works properly [LSASA, LSH].

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

Through this last week there have been a series of patches added to Luminous Skies and its DLCs. Here is a summary of those patches.

Fixed a grammar error found during stream. [LSP]
Fixed possibly getting body blocked during one of the quests. [LSP]

Updated party disband functions for better use [LSASA, LSH]

Fixed old journals incorrectly spawning in game [LSASA, LSH]

Fixed so that new journals will spawn at the start of the game [LSASA, LSH]

Dialogue for quests should now correspond with the players chosen protagonist when both are present in the party [LSASA, LSH]



A reminder that there is a fix for many issues that may be encountered while playing Luminous Skies. In the base game, there is a secret area that can fix a lot of these issues in Citra's basement.

We appreciate your patience and understanding and hope that these features have helped fix any issues that resulted in a less satisfactory playing experience.

Fixed battle music for Fanatic Encounter [LSH]

Updated Graphics optimization DLC to have compatible animations with future updates.



Update on Horizons DLC progress: there's still more to be done but we are entering the playtesting phase to make sure everything is running correctly. This should be a one of many major content updates to come.

A lot of these issues were found during gameplay demonstrations when we were broadcasting for the RPG Maker celebration.

As this game's second biggest fan, I want to tell the biggest fans of Luminous Skies that if you do run into a problem with the game, please reach out to us on the discussion boards and we'll do our best to fix it.

Oh, who's the biggest fan? That would be you, the one reading this. You're awesome.

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

We currently have a discount for Luminous Skies: The Pilgrimage [DLC] and Horizons.

The Pilgrimage is 20% off and Horizons is 10% off until February 19th.



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.

Fixed Lesser Recuperation skill to work as intended [LS:P]

Adjusted Lesser Recuperation skill to remove wounded and bleeding status effects. [LS:P, LS:ASA, LS:H]

We do apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. We hope you continue to enjoy the game and have a good day.

Earlier this year Valve announced they would allow the use A.I. generated content in software published on their platform.

With that in mind, I will NOT be pursuing the use of A.I. in my games.

At best, the technology is still in its early stages, containing various legal and ethical issues along with it. More importantly, I feel like it would stunt my growth as a developer.

On to the updates:

Improved map files for the secret forest map [LS:P]



In order to move forward, we have implemented the updated journal system into A Short Adventure and Horizons [originally kept in there as a museum piece more than anything]. It can be found in Citra's basement along with the other diagnostic options [LS:ASA, LS:H].



Added Cass as a recruitable character to Horizons. She's based on a prototype of one of my characters. After realizing she was radically different person from what she became, I realized there was some extra story potential there. She can be found at the Shorehaven Port. [LS:H]



Re-branded the paid DLC for A Short Adventure to Luminous Skies: Horizons [abbreviated LS:H]

Fixed error when initially loading both Maple and Ives Briar that prevented their full names from showing up in Horizons. [LS:H]

Why the re-brand?

I had always planned on making a direct sequel to events found in the Pilgrimage. After reviewing things, I found it would be more efficient to add it onto the existing DLC.

Will there be any changes that I should be concerned about?

Yes and no. The price will eventually be raised to $4.99 USD [or the equivalent price based on your region]. While it is a significant increase, it is far less than the original projected price. If you've already purchased Horizons, you'll have all the content. If you've missed out on the discounted price, worry not, it will be on discount again. Please note that some of the encounters, in the new areas, may be subject to change as the story unfolds and updates are rolled out.


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