The Elos Games & Arts studio has announced that its action and role-playing video game, Sagas of Lumin, will launch in early access on Steam this summer. It is a single-player title that promises a seamless transition between aerial combat, where we control dragons with full mobility, and ground combat, based on precision with melee weapons, spells, and steampunk weapons. The story, which avoids the cliché of good versus evil, will branch according to our decisions.
A proprietary engine for a seamless transition between air and ground 🛠️
The technical development of Sagas of Lumin is based on an in-house engine created by Elos Games & Arts, specifically designed to manage scale and physics changes seamlessly between the two types of combat. The system allows aerial battles against aircraft and ground incursions into enemy bases to occur in the same simulated space, without loading screens. The artificial intelligence of dragons and enemies operates with different rule sets depending on the environment.
Finally, a game where your dragon doesn't get stuck in the tavern door 😅
It's a relief to know that, for once, we can dismount from our dragon before going in for supplies. After an epic celestial battle, the last thing you need is for your winged lizard to decide that the blacksmith's door is a good place for a nap. At least here, the transition between dominating the skies and looking for a potion in the market seems to be accounted for in the code. A step forward for the logistics of aerial adventurers.
