When the first Luminite wished upon a shooting star, something special happened.

That Luminite, long, long ago, was blessed with a humanoid form. Taking on the appearance of a doll, this new world of possibilities granted them the ability to access and intermingle with worlds never before thought possible.

BOLIDESSE INTRODUCTION

To thank everyone for nearly 1000 Luminites, we've decided to introduce Luminites humanoid form - Bolidesse!

Bolidesse are doll-like, humanoid bodies Luminites may optionally obtain by wishing upon a shooting star.

To learn more about this new, exciting form for your Luminites and how to get one for yourself, you can access the Bolidesse information page under the WORLD tab in the navbar above.

>> BOLIDESSE FORM GUIDE <<

To celebrate this new addition, an adopt that comes with its bolidesse form will be posted shortly!

The site will be going down at 00:00 site time for anywhere between 1-5 hours.

Thank you for your understanding!

🎃 NIGHT OF HAUNTS 🎃

What secrets lie within the forgotten woods of Pleiades...?
OCTOBER 31ST - NOVEMBER 30TH

SUMMARY

This year for Night of Frights, Meadowlark has planned a relaxing camp getaway deep within the woods of Tacus. Unfortunately for her, it seems this trip might not go as smoothly as it seems. Is something else lurking in these woods…?

Night of Haunts is an event hosted by the citizens of Pleiades celebrating community, entertainment and honoring the ones who once lived on this planet and the secrets they've left behind!

🕸️ JOBS 🕸️

That's right! Your Luminite can now work a job! There are 3 careers - Farmhand, Alchemist, and Warrior. Each job has their own perks, prompts, activities, and the like!

FARMHAND

Farmhands are a class/job of Luminites that work on agriculture. They're most adept at growing plants, tending to crops, and cooking food.

BENEFITS

• Farmhands cook (craft) food to heal and/or apply status effects
• Farmhands have access to special prompts under the farming category
• Farmhands have access to their very own farm, where they grow crops.
• Farmhands have access to their very own shop, where they can buy seeds and tools with farm points, which are earned by completing farming prompts

Warrior

🕸️ ACTIVITIES 🕸️

anni's candy hunt

This year, I made an RPGmaker game where Anni goes around and finds candy around Meadowlark's campsite! Play it and find all the candy! If you do, you can submit the candy turn-in prompt!

During this event, there are special career-specific prompts you can submit with your Luminite!

❄️ STAR-SNOW FESTIVAL ❄️

DECEMBER 17TH - JANUARY 17TH

SUMMARY

As the world gets colder and the skies grow darker, Luminites continue to find warmth and comfort within the bonds they’ve formed with each other over the past seasons of festivities, celebration, and excitement.

The Star-Snow Festival is celebrated all across the universe, with each cluster adapting its own traditions. The most notable of them being Pleiades, which, with its large population, is the most known for going all-in on the Star-Snow Festival, with the season to match! (To be fair, when is Pleiades NOT going all-in on the celebrations?)

Now is the time for Luminites to reflect on their time here after their birth as they fully appreciate the friends they have made and prepare for all there is to come!

🎄 ACTIVITIES 🎄

PROMPTS

All prompts for the Star-Snow Festival event allow either art or writing submissions. Prompt rewards include:

SEASONAL ACTIVITIES

For every day of this event, you'll be able to access a new activity area! Once the event has ended, this activity area will be inaccessible until next year. Within the areas you may find:

We will be changing the resale price of collectibles from 50 QB to 20 QB to adjust for Lumiflation. You may still sell collectibles in user shops for as much as you'd like, though!

We'd also like to apologize for how late this event ended up being. I, ryder/gerard, developed Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and have been unable to maintain stable activity levels due to wrist pain and treatments.
We initially had a lot more we wanted to do for this event, but my health troubles ended up holding that back. Hopefully my normal activity will be able to resume soon, but in the meantime, we hope you have fun!

THANK YOU!

NOVEMBER-DECEMBER NEWSLETTER

Hello everyone! I hope you're all excited for the holiday season!

First, let's go over the biggest change to our website recently...

FORUMS

Since there are so many users who do not currently use the Discord, we thought it would be beneficial to introduce FORUMS!

Let's go over what you can do!

WHAT CAN I DO?

Forums are, as the name implies, forums! If you are familiar with them. Essentially, there are a collection of topics you can create a new thread under. Threads allow you to choose something to talk about! 
More specifically, using forums, you can:

• Trade your Luminites, items, and much more!
• Discuss and develop your characters
• Participate in forum games
• Find people to do art trades with
• Discuss the species as a whole

And much more!

Please remember that when using our forums, you must adhere to our Terms of Service. 
You may not discuss anything inappropriate for a PG-13 audience and you must be respectful to your fellow forum users.

Keep in mind that forums are optional and not a required part of participating on the site, but if you'd like to interact with your fellow users, go right ahead!
You may find the forums within the navbar next to gallery.
https://luminites.io/forum

SITE UPDATES

Along with that, we also have some other minor site updates and news to share!

WHAT ELSE HAS CHANGED?

• Shop has been removed from the WORLD category and may now be found under BROWSE
• Inbox and wishlist have been removed from the WORLD category and may now be found under your username in the top right

WHAT'S IN STORE?

December is coming up, which means it's almost time for the Winter season! To celebrate, we will be hosting a relatively large event called the STAR-SNOW FESTIVAL.

Let's take a peek at what's in store:

As the world gets colder and the skies grow darker, Luminites continue to find warmth and comfort within the bonds they’ve formed with each other over the past seasons of festivities, celebration, and excitement.

The Star-Snow Festival is celebrated all across the universe, with each cluster adapting its own traditions. The most notable of them being Pleiades, which, with its large population, is the most known for going all-in on the Star-Snow Festival, with the season to match! (To be fair, when is Pleiades NOT going all-in on the celebrations?)

Now is the time for Luminites to reflect on their time here after their birth as they fully appreciate the friends they have made and prepare for all there is to come!

Thank you all for your continued support and interest in our species!

THANK YOU!

We hope you all have fun!

Happy (almost) Halloween Luminite nation!

To celebrate the season, we have planted ONE special bucket somewhere on this site! This bucket is different from the other ones that you may have seen on the site before, make sure not to miss this one since it contains a lot of never before seen goodies!

The bucket looks almost the same as the normal candy one (seen below)! Except, it's a different color. You'll know it when you see it!

This special bucket will dissapear in 48 hours, so you better find it!

In our discord server you can find many different hints to where the other buckets are! So if you are struggling with finding them, you should consider joining our discord and just in case you haven't seen, we also have an adopt raffle going on right now! You can read more about that HERE.

With that said, good luck!

Hello, Luminite nation! We have currently put into action our first ever raffle adopt batch!
Designs will be made by various members of the staff team and our current guest artists! The adopts will all contain various traits (including limited event ones) and rarities!

Essentially, how it works is that you'll fill out the form to enter, which is completely free!
Then, on November 1st, we will roll the designs in our Discord server.
If your name is rolled, you will be sent a $25 invoice. Once you pay, the design you rolled will be sent to you and will be officially yours!

If you do not pay within 24 hours, the design will be re-rolled. You may put the design up for trade after you receive them if you don't want them, but you may not request a re-roll. Designs will be a surprise until the day of the rolls <:o)

You do not have to be a member of our Discord server to enter. You will merely just be sent the invoice then have the design transferred to you on-site after sending the payment. We, however, still encourage you to join the Discord, as we host free raffles (design and item),  polls, and make lots of important announcements!
