Luminary: Launch, Plans, Hotfix Update

[h3]Thank You[/h3][p] First, I want to say thank you all for giving us a chance. Making a game and putting it out into the world has always been a dream of mine. We are completely self taught, and just figuring things out as we go along. A co-op openworld ARPG is not an easy type of game to make either, and many told us we shouldn't start with something this big, but it was just the game we wanted to make :)[/p][previewyoutube="OAxh1l3GZZs;full"][/previewyoutube][p]When we released our demo, we also started in a rocky spot. 75% reviews at first, but through time and updates we got our Demo reviews up to 90% Very Positive. While I hoped we had done everything right to start off there with our Early Access release, it looks like we are going to need to take the same path of slowly grinding those review scores up with each build update.

But I've been working on Luminary fulltime for the last year, and we have no outside funding. So Early Access had to be a necessary step for us in our development cycle early on, even at this foundation phase.[/p][p]I've also seen many reviews that start with "love the potential" and end with "hopefully the developers don't abandon the game". Is that a super common thing with Early Access titles? I'll admit I'm pretty new to the Steam ecosystem, so I'm not 100% aware of the trends. But I can assure you when I start something, I intend to finish it.[/p][p]With all that said, I know people are wanting more content quickly, and we are definitely working all possible hours to make that happen. We have a clear scope roadmap, but will slightly adjust it to add in specific things the reviewers have all asked for with each update.[/p][p][/p][h3]Hotfix Build Update: 0.11.02.0036[/h3][p]It's only been 3 days since launch, but we wanted to put out this small Hot
