Luminesca is an underwater exploration game which follows the story of a little creature called Lum.
Lum's colony comes under threat when a vast, ancient machine grinds into motion and starts to consume all the surrounding water. His adventure takes him from all corners of his environment to the heart of the machine, encountering a rich ecology of inhabitants and learning some valuable lessons about the world around him.

I'm very happy to announce the arrival of Chapter 2 on Windows, Mac and Linux!
I've taken a lot of feedback on board so I hope you'll enjoy exploring the new murky depths!
Anyone who has pre-ordered the game through Desura can launch the client and grab the automatic update (standalone zip versions are available too).
If you haven't already pre-ordered it, the game is 50% off while it's still in alpha stages so be sure to get your hands on a copy from Desura or luminesca.com while it's cheap! You'll get automatic updates at no extra cost whenever more chapters are released.
As always, I hope you enjoy the game, and please let me know what you think using the "survey" button in the game's main menu, emailing LuminescaGame@gmail.com, or tweeting to @Luminesca!
Thank you!
Matt

@MFKanarek Nope, the only sliding you might need to do is to clump them together (but that's just to make what they show more clear).

@MFKanarek Did you check down below the grid area?

Not that I'm pandering to the lowest common denominator or anything, but that bit wasn't meant to be quite so obtuse.

The 3x3 grid puzzle in Chapter 2 is a real tough spot, it seems. I'll definitely be revising that in the next update.

@Tody_ZA Ah OK. I've got a fix for that on my PC but not sure if I'll be able to get it released any time soon. Very busy month coming up!

If you got the Luminesca soundtrack on #IndieGameStand, you can now re-download it to get the new music track from Chapter 2.

I found a bug in chapter 2 where you get the diving bell and 2 glowing squid things. One of them set off one of the trip lights and the door closed, as expected, but the game won't let you relight the red gear thing that controls the door and trip lights, forcing you to restart the whole chapter all over again.
Other than that fine work on chapter 2.
Thanks for reporting this bug, and sorry for the inconvenience! Did the red light stay green, or did it return to red and simply stop responding?
The lights on the gear thing and near the door both stayed green even though the door was still closed.
Thank you, I will look into this issue. It sounds like it can affect any of the light switches, not just this particular one.
Chapter 2 much more challenging then first! But still cannot get enough of it!
Glad you like it! :D

Luminesca is awesome, can't wait for chapter 2! :D Keep going strong, CrowbarSka!

In hype for the release of chapter 2 :D I love this game, and I hope you remember the hands-on preview I did for it back at the beginning of the year =) This game is relaxing, looks absolutely beautiful, and is irresistibly cute! I can't wait for the release of chapter 2, you've done a wonderful job :)
I also really like the casual approach to the game. It's a game you play to wind down and relax, and that really separates it from other puzzle adventure games. There's almost nothing to dislike here, apart from the usual minor alpha bugs :)
Great job CrowbarSka, keep it up! I look forward to featuring Chapter 2 \;D?
Thanks for the tip!
Thank you for helping to spread the word!
