Latest Steam announcements

  • Auto Saving - 25 January 2025

    In this update I added Auto saving so the game automatically saves every 20 seconds however there is no indication of the save. The game will continue to still try to save when the game is closed. The game is still available for download through itch.io for MacOS users as steam requires the game to be signed for MacOS.

  • Lu[Idle] is Becoming Free to Play - 10 November 2024

    Lu was originally a project for a class I was taking, and I continued working on it after the class was over and as I have thought more about Lu I have realized it makes more sense for Lu to be a Free game. As I reflect on the quality of Lu I don't see a super polished game that deserves to be paid for, I see a passion project that should be available for everyone to try out and play. I will still be working on updates for Lu. I just won't be working on it as much as I have previously. I still have a vision for what I want Lu to become, it just won't come as soon as I thought it would when I started working on this game. That being said Lu will hopefully be free to play by November 17th 23rd, but it could very well take longer as it's not just a setting I turn on for the game, it's an application process that Steam has to look into. For people that have already purchased the game I than…

  • Lu[Idle] Should be Available fo Linux Users now! - 20 October 2024

    If you have tested out Lu for Linux and you have any problems please let me know immediately either via Email at [email protected] or more preferably on discord.

  • Lu[Idle] 0.61 - 19 October 2024

    Lu 0.61 - You now may release any game you would like as long as you have released the previous one before. - You now may not keep grinding for Pre-Orders after completing the current game. - When closing and reopening the game your pre-orders should be the right value instead of doubling.

  • Lu[Idle] 0.6 BIGGEST UPDATE YET - 17 October 2024

    Lu 0.6 has been a long time in the making and its finally here! You can find the full patch notes in the discord server but here is a quick overview of what has been changed/added: - The console now has 3 new options at the bottom for switching between the main things that the console did before. - THERE ARE 2 NEW PRESTIGES! they both give extra rewards upon completing them equal to the difficulty of completing them. - There is now many new options that have been moved from the console to the settings menu. - The Lua guide book has been removed as I have made the typing part of the console for secret commands only and moved the things it did before into separate options that are easier to navigate to. JOIN THE DISCORD FOR THE FULL PATCH NOTES - https://discord.gg/vnWGuSBCkv Check out the announcement trailer for Lu 0.6 that shows off some of the new content!

  • Lu[Idle] Discord Server - 29 August 2024

    I have made a discord server where I will post sneak peaks of the next update and where you can let me know of any bugs you find in the game. join here: Discord I go into more detail in this video:

  • Hotfix 0.54 - 20 August 2024

    Fixed an issue that occurs after your first prestige which breaks the pixel by pixel image.

  • Hot Fix / Small Content Update - 18 August 2024

    Content Update - Added a "weak spot" to the Code Bar which adds a +0.1 Multiplier per weak spot clicked to the bytes gained from clicking weak spots. The combo resets along with the multiplier if you fail to click a weak spot within 3 seconds of clicking the previous weak spot. Hot Fix - Fixed an issue where your Pre-orders would be doubled whenever you launched the game. Make sure to leave the game a good review if you like it :)

  • Small update/fix - 17 August 2024

    In this tiny update/fix I changed an array having to do with the number that shows up when you click the code bar which now actually deletes the number after it fades away hopefully fixing performance issues. I also added art to the prestige upgrades. Make sure to give Lu a good review if you like it :)

  • Lu[Idle] is Out Now! - 16 August 2024

    Purchase Lu now for $0.89 for a week then it becomes $0.99. The price will be going up with updates so now is the best time to purchase!

  • Planned Release Date - 2 August 2024

    The Soonest I can release Lu is August 16th, but until then you can watch my recent progress on updating the game here: My YouTube Channel Don't forget to Wishlist the game to help it perform better when it releases! Most recent Dev Log:

Short description

Lu[Idle] is an Incremental game with Idle and Clicker elements as well as pixel art visuals and music.

About this game

Disclaimer: Lu[Idle] does not have a large amount of content and there is a lot of waiting, hence the "idle" part of the name. I put Lu[Idle] on steam as a way to showcase my creation. There are planned updates but no plan on when they will be worked on, and If you have any criticism or feedback, you are welcome to share it with me on my discord server. In Lu[Idle] you play as a game developer making a Lua game but instead of coding you are clicking. Make your game huge by clicking and getting Bytes which is the amount of storage your game takes up and as we all know more Gigabytes = better game. Type commands into the console to make code that brings your games storage up automatically, upgrade your mouse to gain more bytes per click and drink some coffee for a boost and purchase a server to make your game even bigger. Get immersed and become a Lua game developer today in Lu[Idle]. This game is very early access and is lacking a lot of features that I intend to add and the price will most likely increase as updates come. Key Features Upgradable Code Snippets to Increase your Bytes per Second Console to Input various Commands found in the Commands Folder Tab Upgrades Tab to Increase your Games Size even more Release your game and gain sales to make your future games better (prestige)

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 23, 2026 to Sep 23, 2026
  • Lowest observed: Free
  • Highest observed: Free

Lu[Idle]'s USD price history spans from Sep 23, 2026 to Sep 23, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is Free, the highest is Free, and the first visible tracked price is Free. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

Lu[Idle]'s tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at Free, from Sep 23, 2026 through Sep 23, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at Free. The latest run records Free for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: Free
  • Current list price: Free
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Lu[Idle] at Free in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
