Description

Lumote is a game about two opposing powers; Lumote, represented by blue energy and the Mastermote, whose energy is red. These two characters are locked in a battle for control of the world. In this 3D puzzle platformer you play as Lumote, who is equipped with the abilities to jump and to possess. Possession allows you to take control of the world’s inhabitants, the Motes, and use their abilities to solve puzzles and aid your progress through the world. Depending on who's energy controls a Mote, their behaviour will either help or hinder your journey to take control of the world away from the Mastermote

History

Located in downtown Vancouver (Canada), Luminawesome is a start-up studio that was formed by Michelle and Kyle Rocha. In 2014, we were one of the winners at the October Unreal Game Jam with their game Bump. We loved the concept and decided to develop it into a full game. Over the past three years the mechanics and visuals have evolved, for the better we hope, and the name changed from Bump to Lumote. We've also added Aaron Arndt and Paul Ruskay to the team and moved away from Unreal to our own engine, rEngine we call it. We managed to get Creative BC funding in 2017 which allowed our whole team to work on Lumote full time, which was the break we needed to really focus on the game. We're finally looking forward to releasing in October
