Hey everyone!

Thank you for reporting issues and being patient! I've updated the game again with some new fixes. This time I had to make some changes with the level transitions and save system. I tested it as best as I could with the little free time I have right now, so I ask you again to let me know if anything has gone wrong that I might have missed.

Here is a short list of the fixes:

• Fixed custom keybinds not working in certain gameplay sections

• Fixed collision issue with some vending machines

• Fixed out of bounds issue in the maintenance tunnels chapter 4

• Fixed wrong items appearing in inventory (only works on new saves)

• Backdoor key not respawning anymore

Hey everyone!

You might have noticed that I've released a new Patch for v1.0.3 ..... twice .. sorry for the confusion, I'm a total amateur. But hey it's a free game what did you expect ːsteamthumbsupː

To be honest I need a little bit of help. You know that this is a solo operation and I'm simply not able to test the whole game every time I make a little change. PLEASE let me know if you find any new problems or bugs, OR if my fixes didn't work for you. I DEPEND on your feedback!

At the same time I really want to thank the people who provided me with crashlogs and save files for me to investigate. The biggest problems are the ones I cannot reproduce.

Here is a short list of the fixes:

• Fixed issue causing the Vent Achievement not working

• You cannot fall off the roof in the warehouse area anymore

• Fixed issue corrupting a save file at the end of Chapter 3

Ongoing issue:

I'm currently investigating a bug that causes Chapter 1 items (Bloody Finger, Gold Coin etc.) to reappear in your inventory in Chapter 4. This causes the inventory to fill up and basically making the Venue Key Hunt impossible. I'm not able to reproduce this bug on my system. For now I "fixed" it by implementing a check that removes any wrong items from your inventory. PLEASE let me know if you have this bug and provide me with a description and save file at my discord or email ([email protected]). I'm really exhausted, but also really thankful for your feedback.

Lumina Veil is going live on June 22!

Thank you for sticking around for so long. I have some news and information about the release of Lumina Veil.

As promised, Lumina Veil is free. You can download and play the full game on Steam. If you want to support future development or simply leave a tip, please join our discord!

Chapters 1–3 are still available in the demo version, and you can continue playing the full version using your save file from the demo. Please note that I will delist the demo version in the near future, as it has become obsolete.

Since I'm working on this game alone and I'm still learning and fixing things, please let me know if you encounter any bugs or problems.

Hey everyone!

Lumina Veil just reached over 10,000 wishlists. Thank you so much for the interest in the game. With the release being on June 22, I mostly worked on finalizing the game, adding some polish and implementing some changes requested by the playtesters like skippable cutscenens and fov adjustments. Your savegame will now carry over from the demo to the full version.

The full version will also include Steam achievements and some additional well hidden secrets. Also, please take a look at our new website: https://hamster.cafe !

Hey everyone!

After a lot of work, late nights, bug fixing, and learning as I go, I’m really excited to finally say that Lumina Veil will officially release on Steam for free on June 22!

The current demo already lets you play through Chapters 1 to 3, and with the full release, Chapter 4, the finale, will finally be available so you can experience the complete story from beginning to end.

I just want to say thank you to everyone who played the demo, left feedback, reported bugs, or simply waited patiently while I worked on the game. Making this as a one-person indie project has honestly been a huge journey, and seeing people care about Lumina Veil has meant a lot to me.

There’s still some polishing left before launch, but I can’t wait for everyone to experience the final chapter.

See you on June 22.

Hey everyone!

This update brings many quality-of-life features requested by the community, bringing the game a lot closer to a finished product. We now have multiple save slots and custom keybinds. There are also a lot of smaller changes, most of them cleaning up placeholders and adding general polish.

For example, the phone icons have now been replaced with the final images, which match the characters. Also, locked doors now show a lock symbol. When interacting with them, the inventory will now open automatically so you can choose the key to unlock them right away.

Chapter 4 is mostly done. On the gameplay side of things, Lumina Veil is now fully complete, but there are still cutscenes to finish and a list of smaller things to implement and fix. I don’t want to make any promises, but a release date this summer looks realistic. It largely depends on how well testing of Chapter 4 goes, which will start soon.

Hello everyone,

This update is to let you know about my progress on Chapter 4 and the release plan for Lumina Veil.

Work on Chapter 4 is going well, and many new features and enemies have been implemented. There are new locations to explore, and I can’t wait to see your reactions to the story. Still, there is a lot of work ahead of me, but I’m making good progress. I can’t promise a fixed release date, but right now I’m aiming for Summer 2026.

As promised, Lumina Veil will be free. Chapter 4 is the finale, and once it’s done, I will remove the demo and release Lumina Veil with all four chapters on Steam for free. If you want to support the development of Lumina Veil, please check out my socials.

Thanks again for this wonderful ride. It’s been a big adventure developing my first game for such an awesome and passionate community. To be honest, doing a full release makes me a bit anxious, but at the same time, I think it will also be a huge relief.

Until then,

Thank you again for your incredible support and enthusiasm. Stay tuned for more updates! For more information you can follow me on X Twitter/X or join our discord.

Hey everyone!

I'm making good progress on the fourth and final chapter of Lumina Veil. It’s going to take quite some time to finish, so I can’t promise a release date yet. There’s still some work to be done on the older chapters as well but thanks to your feedback, I was able to identify and fix several bugs, and I’ve made some general improvements.

You can now find explosive ammo for your trusty boltgun! This ammo is very rare but also incredibly powerful. It’s still in an early state and might be a bit janky, but blowing up monsters is just too much fun, so I decided to include it in the current build.

If you’d like to know more, please check out the patch notes.

Hey everyone!

Chapter 3 is now available for everyone to play. If you download the demo, you'll get access to all three chapters. The new chapter includes a lot of fresh content and various improvements to overall gameplay. There are new areas to explore, new enemies to face, and new challenges to overcome. The story also takes some big steps forward as everything builds toward the final chapter.

Lumina Veil is completely free to play, and once all chapters are finished, it will be released as a complete version.

Since I’m working solo on this project, I’d really appreciate your feedback on the current chapter. I’m still learning and improving as a game developer, and I’d love to know what’s working well and what I should revisit.

I also want to thank the voice actors and playtesters who helped bring this project to life. I couldn’t have done it without you.
