Hi! I wanted to share the current opening of Luminons: Seeds of Starlight.

The video shows the main menu, gender selection, player and ranch naming, and the first story cutscene.

I’m aiming for a more emotionally mature story, focused on the characters and the world rather than the usual “beat your rival and become the champion” plot.

The game is also being designed to be fully playable with a controller, including the text input system, with Steam Deck support in mind.

Some things still need a bit of polish (specially the naming scene), but the main concept and flow are already in place. Hope you like it!

This is how types work in Luminons: Seeds of Starlight.

I wanted to move away from the classic system where each creature species is locked to one specific type. In Luminons, every species has a default type, but depending on its parents during breeding, the offspring can be born as another type.

That also changes its color palette:

• Lumen: whites, yellows and lighter colors
• Umbra: purples and darker tones
• Flora: greens and floral colors
• Crystal: bluish tones
• Ether: reds and pinks

The type advantage chart is:

Lumen ↔ Umbra
Ether > Flora > Crystal > Ether

I thought this could be a fun way to make breeding more exciting, since the same Luminon species can appear in different type variants across generations.

The exploration forest also changes randomly each in-game day, and it can appear themed around any of the five types. Each forest gives different rewards, so every day can bring different resources to gather.

Steam Wishlist: Luminons: Seeds of Starlight

Hi everyone! I’m developing Luminons: Seeds of Starlight, a cozy monster-taming game where you collect, breed and raise creatures called Luminons.

The game mixes creature collecting, farming, egg hatching, stat growth, beauty contests and 3v3 auto-battles. I’m trying to make the breeding and hatching systems feel meaningful, so eggs can be improved before they hatch and each Luminon has its own traits and stats.

I’d love feedback from monster-taming fans: what makes breeding, hatching or raising creatures feel satisfying to you in these games?
