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] 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 :)
