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. To join the discord click this link https://discord.gg/ZFBx6YJB I would love any input on how Linux works with Lu as I am unable to test it.

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 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.

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:

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

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 :)

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 :)

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!

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:
