| “TikTok is a tool that quite a number of game developers still underestimate, even though it’s one of the most pleasant ways to reach a new audience. Results achieved by Lumencraft are terrific and we can observe how individual views translate into wishlists and the number of copies of the game sold, which makes us exceptionally happy“ |
| – says Kuba Wójcik, CEO of Star Drifters. |
| This is good news, but there’s more to it! Only two days after its full release, the title was awarded the Digital Vikings Award in the “Best Co-op” category. The jury appreciated the unconventional cooperative system of Lumencraft: its dynamics and the way the game adapts its gameplay elements for cooperation mode. |

| “We are surprised and at the same time incredibly proud of this award. It is of particular importance to all of us, since it gives us a sense of trust and support both from players and other members of the gamedev industry. Looking back at years spent on Lumencraft’s development, we’re extremely glad that we achieved the goals we’ve put before us and delivered a title we’ve dreamed of from the beginning“ – adds Kuba Wójcik. |
| About Lumencraft: |
| Civilization’s flame was extinguished 200 years ago. The last chance for mankind to survive lies in Lumen – a mysterious resource which illuminates dark caves and subterranean halls. In Lumencraft you descend to the bowels of the planet to light up the last spark of hope of a dying society. It won’t be easy – the dim adits are filled with danger and terrifying creatures. |
