Game Concept- Story

While the gameplay of Luminex will be our main focus during development, we have created a rough idea of the story to frame the gameplay around. 

In Luminex the player will take control of a prisoner aboard a dystopian space prison. The protagonist is awoken from stasis to find the vessel decrepit, and all the crew members missing or dead. While navigating throughout the different areas, the player may take notice of a fungal organism growing throughout the ship. From here the player is motivated to escape the ship and to uncover the mystery of what went wrong, while avoiding the many dangerous enemies, obstacles and hazards. 

Overall, the story should be kept to the background. The player can decipher what is going on on if they wish, but the gameplay should remain the focus and should provide enough intrinsic motivation to keep the player from losing interest.

Here are also more background arts for each level.
