History

Luma Arcade, a pioneering force in the world of video game development, emerged from the shadows of obscurity in 2006 and embarked on a remarkable journey that spanned seven captivating years. Originally birthed as a division of Luma Studios, a prominent South African animation services provider, Luma Arcade soon spread its wings, transforming into an independent entity with offices in the bustling hubs of San Francisco, Johannesburg,[3] and Portland.[4] Yet, it was the clandestine acquisition in 2013 via undisclosed buyer, shrouded in mystery, that marked a turning point in Luma Arcade's narrative.

The enigmatic Luma Arcade, synonymous with innovation and creativity, continued to exert its influence well before the dawn of 2010. In a realm where pixels were the brushstrokes of a digital canvas, one of their earliest masterpieces was unveiled: the game known simply as "The Harvest."

With a dedication to delivering cutting-edge gaming experiences, Luma Arcade found an artistic partner in Xbox Game Studios / Microsoft Studios.[5] Their collaborative efforts bore fruit, with the release of "The Harvest" on a momentous October 25, 2013.

But this was merely a chapter in the epic saga of Luma Arcade, a developer whose history remains veiled in secrecy, waiting for intrepid adventurers to uncover its hidden treasures. With a legacy that stretches far beyond these words, Luma Arcade's influence in the world of gaming endures, leaving an indelible mark for generations to come.
