Demo Feedback

Overall, I really enjoyed my short time with the demo. I chose to try out the archeology profession and played with a controller, and I’m happy to report that I didn’t encounter any bugs during my playthrough.

However, there were a few aspects that took away from the experience:

- Lack of Jump or Sprint: While exploring the world, the absence of jump or sprint options made movement feel somewhat slow and less satisfying. Adding these could enhance the flow of exploration.

- Lack of Talent Points: The gameplay loop felt a bit flat without the ability to spend talent points. Having these would make progression more engaging and give the player more control over their character’s development.

- Limited Map Functionality: Exploring became tedious at times, mainly because the map wasn’t very useful. I did appreciate the glowing line that guided me to my first quest, but it would have been nice to have the option to activate that feature for all quests.

- Learning a Profession: When I learned my first profession, I felt like it lacked a clear identifier. Adding something like a cosmetic item or a special aura could help reinforce the feeling of adopting that profession’s persona.

- Hidden Door in the Temple: It took me an embarrassingly long time to find the glittering door in the Temple. It was quite hidden due to the arches, making it difficult to spot. A clearer visual cue could help with navigation here.

- Minor Camera Annoyance: A small issue I encountered was when exiting the town—the camera would sometimes flip, and I’d accidentally re-enter the town. It was a bit frustrating and interrupted the flow of gameplay.

Overall, the demo shows great promise, and with a few adjustments, I believe it could be even more enjoyable. Thanks for the opportunity to play the game.

Hi Lily, thanks for your feedback, glad you liked the demo! We're now gathering all feedback to make Luma Island even more fun, and the map functionality is one of the most requested optimizations,. Archeologist is a difficult professions, so if you're up for it, you could play again with an 'easier' profession?

It wasn't difficult. I come from 15-years of experience playing Mythic-level World of Warcraft. I think I cleared the Temple 5 times before I found the glittering door in the very first room (like I said, embarrassing). I was starting to think that I was in the wrong place, and I even cleared part of the dark cave. I just never spun my camera to face the direction of the door.
