Luminaris
SteamAbout Luminaris
A full RTS in under five minutes
No build menus. No tech tree to memorise. Opening, midgame and endgame all happen inside a single sitting: read the board, commit, adapt, done. Matches run around four and a half minutes and support up to five players.
One resource. Three jobs.
Every star you hold breeds light-motes. Those motes are your income, your invasion force and your only defence, all from the same pool at the same time. Send them out and your home stars sit naked. Hold them back and you watch someone else take the map. Every decision in Luminaris is that trade, made faster than you're comfortable with.
Systems, not clutter
Readable at a glance
Luminaris is designed to be understood without a tutorial. Colour, motion and
scale carry the information, so you can read the state of a match from across
the room. Every asset is hand-made, with no generative AI.
