We've just released the 'proof of concept' Prototype of Lux, our First Person puzzle game all about light manipulation :)
This is a prototype demo, demonstrating only the very fundamental game elements. The short level is designed as a tutorial for the basic mechanics. Wield 'Tulip', the Light manipulation device. Use it to Reflect, Focus, Absorb, Mix and Fire Light in order to solve the puzzles within the mysterious world of Lux. The Lux prototype was created in six weeks in a team of 11, from concept to its current state. Engine, design, art, animation, all from scratch.
Please let us know what you think :)

looks like a cool idea good stage to be at after only 11 weeks.
6 weeks with 11 people, but yeah definitely.
Very good idea, and educational too!
looks promising, tulip could use a remodel though
Excellent concept using the light colour wheel to mix and activate what is needed... yes, educational and could be greatly expanded into many different areas of gameplay... great work guys...
This is fascinating! Beautiful realization of the concept. Great work
Looks pretty cool.
Are all puzzles color oriented?
Not all will be no. Some involve reflecting light, some involve shadows.
This looks really good! Keep it up!
you spoiled that puzzle:(
I had a lot of fun with this, although while playing I discovered I could go through the ground in a part of it and fly around the nether. I also discovered that while capturing light, sometimes I had to look at the ground(Directly at the light), or it wouldn't do anything. It was still a lot of fun though! I'm very impressed with what you managed to accomplish in just six weeks. Can't wait to see how much you've done in another six weeks...
looks promising
which are it's system requirements? It runned quite laggie on my laptop (i have Vista... probably that's the problem... damn I hate it)
Ha ha yes don't we all ;)
Well we don't have specific specs, unfortunately the engine hasn't been optimised thoroughly yet, so the game is pretty demanding for what it is. We have had it running fine on low to mid spec PC's (DX9, <1gb RAM). Hope that helps.
well... I think I could try it on a pc with, xp, see if that's the problem.
