Plan from an isometric view, then step into first person to explore the world you’ve built together.

Luminids are small, expressive beings with their own needs, routines, and awareness. They gather resources, build structures, and respond to changes in their environment. Their behavior shifts based on conditions you create. Nurture the Luminids by providing space and safety as they grow.
