What is Luminary Protocol?

It's an Isekai AVN with a bit of a twist. The MC isn't the only one who finds themselves in a new world. He arrives with several others at the same time. But the world they arrive in, Lumis, has been receiving travellers from other worlds for thousands of years. It's a warped mirror image of Earth, but an Earth where magic is real. The world is infested with gods and powerful entities, each one the spiritual ruler of their own territory. Some are benevolent, some are hostile but many are not what they might first appear. 

You will find yourself drawn in the centre of power of the most advanced nation on Lumis. Arrivals from other worlds are sought after; for some it's their skills and knowledge, but for others, especially the young, it's just that they can be trusted and trained into useful agents for the state. The Triumvirate is a nation that is under siege by enemies on all sides; beset by disasters, infighting, criminality and the covetous machinations of powerful people and gods. In its struggles to bring enlightenment to Lumis, it has made many enemies, not all of whom are apparent. With no prospects, you are drafted into a prestigious academy, trained in combat and dropped right into the seething heart of the ongoing struggle for the city's soul.

But the god that brought you all to The Triumvirate did so for a reason. Strange anomalies begin to manifest within you and your close companions. Powerful abilities emerge, abilities that will make you valuable. And make all of you targets. 

What to expect?
It's a story first AVN. Each update adds around 12-20,000 words of story and since July 2025 I've released about 1 update a month. This is the type of story I always wanted to write. I take a great deal of care to craft and write interesting and consistent characters. I've also taken great care to write characters that are interesting, different, likable and that each one brings something different to the table. The feedback I've had since launch suggests I'm succeeding with that. So expect a deep plot, some mysteries, some great characters and a lot of adult themes. Sex, nudity, violence, drug use as well as some horror and gore are common. This isn't a game where the MC has a sexual encounter every 2 minutes. Encounters are detailed, fleshed out and earned. They are intended to be as realistic as possible in terms of how they come about and their content when they do.

The storyline is fixed, but there are choices to make. Most of these choices change the flavour of the story, but not the outcome. E.g. you may choose to kill someone, cripple them or talk them down. Which one you choose will earn you a certain alignment point, a bit like the Mass Effect Renegade/Paragon system. What happens next will be different based on your choice, but the outcome is still the same - you defeat the bad guy and are successful (or not). It isn't a game that aims to punish readers for not making the "right" choices. Or a game that makes you feel like have to play it through multiple times to see everything. It's just intended to allow some variation for role playing purposes. Some characters will respond better to certain alignment choices. This won't lock out those characters, it just means it may take a little longer to unlock their unique content. 

I use AI extensively to generate static images, sprites and animations. I'm a lone developer, with no artistic skill and no budget to hire artists. I understand the discourse around AI, but the reality is the project just wouldn't exist without it. I use a mixture of home generation tools like SDXL for image creation. I also use professional image generation tools for specific creations (like placing characters naturally in scenes, rather than only using sprites). I also use professional animation tools like Kling and Pixverse to create SFW high quality animations. For NSFW animations I use Framepack, WAN2.1, WAN2.2 or LTX-2, generated on my home PC. I estimate there to be about 6-7 hours of content in the game currently (v0.49). There are thousands of graphic assets, including hundreds of animations.
