Questions

Which Godot version do I need?

Godot 4.7 or newer, the standard build. Nothing else to install: no plugins, no C#.

Can I sell games I make with it?

Yes. Make any number of games, commercial or free, on any platform, with no royalties. Credit is welcome but not required.

What can't I do?

You can't resell or give away the kit or its art as a kit, template or asset pack, changed or not. It ships inside your game, not as something to build games with.

Do I need to know how to code?

Not to build levels: that is filling in a table. To add new enemies, weapons or mechanics you'll write some GDScript, and the guides walk you through each one.

Does it run on phones?

Yes. Touch controls are built in, and the project exports to Android, iOS, web and desktop like any Godot game.

How big is it?

A 38 MB download and about 46 MB unzipped. A game you build with it is about 55 MB on Android.

How was the art made?

Made from code: every character, weapon and terrain is drawn and animated by our own scripts, so it all matches.

What if I have a problem?

Email lumiolabsdev99@gmail.com and we'll help you get it running.

Can I get a refund?

Yes, within 14 days of buying, if the kit doesn't work for you and we can't fix it. Email us with your order number.
