We’re back with a new update for our game and we have something really great for you… a NEW MODE!


Now, you can generate endless maps with our brand new Endless preset. This new mode applies special rules to the gameplay, such as:

• no winning objective
  
• infinite waves
  
• infinite Metal Veins

This way your adventure in the dark tunnels, as the name of the preset suggests, has no end! Drill as long as you like and don’t worry about the limitations.


We added tooltips to terrain materials, with durability and minimum drill level. Also, now you can set notes for terrains and floors, which show in the tooltip, too. To set it, just right-click the terrain!


As we promised in the last update, we’re back with new translations added to the game! Here is the list:

• Bulgarian
  
• Czech
  
• Greek
  
• Finnish
  
• Norwegian
  
• Spanish
  
• Vietnamese

Is your language not here? 🤔 Maybe it’s already in the game! 💡 Lumencraft supports:

English, Polish, Simplified Chinese, Korean, Japanese, German, French, Spanish - Latin America, Russian, Ukrainian, Turkish, Italian, Portuguese (both), Slovak, Romanian, Swedish, Danish, Hungarian, Indonesian and Dutch.


We know that many of you like checking out the full list of changes and fixes, so here it is!

Changes:
- improved behavior of LB inventory cycle
- lowered passive heal delay from 30 seconds to 10
- tweaked English language flag

Fixes:
- fixed menu breaking after setting certain values in color sliders.
- Campaign: fixed missing upgrades when retrying a mission
- Campaign: fixed player unresponsive after returning from mission in co-op

Over the past few months we've received many questions from you, and we're excited to provide collective answers that we believe will make you happy!


Yes, absolutely! We continue to develop our project, focusing on new platforms and essential improvements suggested by the community and identified in your reviews.


Yes! This summer, Lumencraft will be available on Switch, and later this year on PlayStation and Xbox. Stay tuned!


Yes! Preparing console versions allowed us to optimize the game and adapt it for smaller devices, making it easier for us to develop a mobile version. Expect it after the console releases.

You can look at the very work-in-progress version on iPhone.


We're genuinely excited about the prospect of adding online multiplayer to our game and want to share our plans with you. It's a challenging yet thrilling journey for us, requiring a transition to a new engine version and, to a large extent, rewriting most of the game from scratch to ensure it runs smoothly and delivers a seamless, high-quality experience.

Given the complexity of these changes, we're currently unable to provide a specific timeline for the online multiplayer release. Our immediate focus is on successfully launching the console versions of our game. Once these are up and running, we will shift our attention to the online multiplayer aspect.

We deeply appreciate your enthusiasm and patience. Rest assured, the idea of playing online excites us just as much as it does you, and we're committed to making it a reality. Stay tuned for more updates after our console releases!


We hope that everything we planned for you goes as it should, but we’re asking for your understanding, since many factors can influence the final decisions we’ll have to make. But we’ll do everything in our power to make all of this come true!


Thank you for following the game's development, for constantly participating in its improvement, and we encourage you to follow us on Twitter, Facebook, and TikTok.
