Short Description
-----------------
Luminids is a cozy colony-building sandbox where you shape an island for a growing colony of luminous creatures, then step into first person and live in the world you built together. Your Luminids earn quirks, form bonds and grow through what happens to them. No combat. No fail states.

Detailed Description
--------------------
Luminids blends colony simulation, world-building and first-person exploration into a calmer kind of sandbox. Shape voxel terrain, place structures and help a colony of small luminous creatures build a home across one island of nine distinct realms.

The defining shift is perspective. Plan from above, then step into first person and walk the same paths, forests and settlements at ground level. The creatures living there aren't disposable workers: they earn quirks through experience, form bonds and become more individual over time.

There is no combat, no game-over state and no creature can be permanently lost. Farming, fishing, mining, crafting, exploration and the story campaign provide depth without turning the world into a survival grind.
