Scouts!
Month ago there were 69 maps in Lumencraft’s Steam Workshop.
When we’re writing these words, there are 105 maps available to download.
What’s more, some of you released sequels to maps you previously submitted! As we wrote previously, your work prolongs the game’s life cycle. It’s funny, because the game is still in Early Access, but great things are yet to come. Nonetheless, you still exceed our expectations… This is how a dedicated community should look like. Last, but not least - thank you for posting your maps and info about them in #share-your-map channel on our Discord server. It’s always great to ask questions and share opinions between players, developers and creators of the submitted maps.
Without further delay…
Let the Maps Shootout #2 begins!
Just a reminder - the order does not matter - we’re just sharing maps that we find especially interesting.
Map name: Vault 512
Author: FeintLight
Direct link: Steam Workshop
To quote FeintLight: “After several playthroughs I feel it's finally decently balanced. This is a relatively difficult, very fast paced map. 5 waves, 36 minutes total. Good luck and enjoy.”
Our thoughts: if you’re not focused enough you can fail when the third wave hits the Vault. Kudos for making a base a place worth living - there’s plenty of Lumen and metal waiting for a drill. Shoutout for a very long fireproof wall, heavily guarded by plenty of turrets.
Map name: Is it really loaded
Author: Kenjinn
Direct link: Steam Workshop
To quote Kenjinn: “Is it really loaded seems like an easy start, play smart or get wasted.”
Our thoughts: this map is a test you’re going to fail every time, but it’s still worth trying. The author created 46 waves… It’s a very grim joke. The first one required dealing with 200 enemies. Good luck reaching wave 6. Forget the other forty.
Map name: Unexplored Depths
Author: Lokimut
Direct link: Steam Workshop
To quote Lokimut: “Your Reactor has been placed right next to a huge alien nest. Explore the surrounding cave systems, collect resources, claim abandoned facilities and defend your base.”
Our thoughts: hands down one of the most polished maps. It’s definitely made with some love. Playing it is a real pleasure - the gameplay is truly the essence of Lumencraft. Unexplored Depths is inspired by the First Encounter map - Scouts have to explore every corner of the map and analyze the surroundings. Also - it’s really, really pretty, Hats off. Psst… It’s one of the maps that were published in #share-your-map channel on our Discord and trust us, you’ll play it at least few times.
Map name: For the Mining Corp! Part 1
Author: Madd Llama
Direct link: Steam Workshop
To quote Llama: “Drone! Glutcorp Interstellar Mining Conglomerate calls upon you. (...) Use every resource at your disposal to accomplish the mission and secure the lumen source for our beloved GMIC. Praise be to the CEO.”
Our thoughts: the goal is simple - reach the Swarm’s nest and get rid of it. Don’t worry about the resources - they’re pretty much everywhere. Dig, drill, get ready for the encounter. The map should and will change drastically before you start the fight. PS: Yep, you’re a Drone, not a Scout in this story. Part 2 was already published.
Maps Shootouts will be published once a month.
Every map can be featured. Let’s see how many fantastic maps you'll publish. See you in June.
Let’s wrap this up with the same meme as before:
In case you missed Map Shootout #1, here you go.
If you enjoy Lumencraft, please share your opinion with others. How should you do it? It does not matter - the choice is yours. It’s just a friendly request - nonetheless, we will be grateful.
