Hi!
Excuse me... is this your 2007 Honda Civic? See that amber light on the dashboard that you’ve been ignoring for years? It looks like a genie lamp, doesn’t it? Have you ever wondered if it will grant you three wishes? Me neither… because it’s actually an oil can… and it’s desperately trying to tell you that you should get the oil level checked ASAP.
And so should Luma Island. This update is our attempt at doing a bit of overdue maintenance. We’ve got a bunch of fixes in the goodie bag this time, along with a couple of quality of life improvements and a feature so revolutionary that it will change the way you interact with Luma Island forever (It’s clicking. With a mouse. Brought to you… by the future).
Have fun!

Luma Island - Release Notes - 1.1.10
New Features
You can now click on the Hotbar slots with your mouse. And even the Build button, the Inventory button and the Map / Quest button in the top-right corner. After months of research, we’re thrilled to announce a revolutionary new feature: Clicking. With your mouse. On things that finally behave like buttons. The. Future. Is. Now. “Wasn’t that always a thing”, I hear you say. … Sshh… All that matters is that it’s a thing now - and that there are more buttons to click on.
Fixes & Changes
Caves should now collapse and reset properly after clicking on the Cave Reset Device, no matter who clicks on it. Apparently, the Cave Reset Device was suffering from a severe case of favoritism; only the host was allowed to reset caves in multiplayer games. Much like a cat that’s very selective with its belly rubs. You either get 5 seconds in heaven or the full treatment by THE CLAWS OF DOOM.
A few invisible boulders on Jungle Island have been made visible again. Turns out they got fed up with all the unwanted attention. And who can blame them? We never asked them for permission to be featured in countless ‘Let’s Play’ videos and livestreams. I mean, how would you feel if you were quietly napping on the sofa, minding your own business and then somebody suddenly showed up with a pickaxe, a livestream audience and a taste for moar Jungle Stone? … Great… now I feel bad about making them visible again. 🥲
It should (hopefully) no longer be possible to break the tool puzzle on Jungle Island. One of you tried very hard and somehow broke it beyond repair. I was quietly impressed. So was our QA staff. We watched your video again and again but couldn’t get it to break. Will our fix work? We have no idea. If it doesn’t, I urge you to think about that thing your inner voice quietly whispers to you every time you get socks and yet ANOTHER Bath & Body Works set for Christmas: “Deep breaths… it’s… the thought… that counts…”
The Spring Basket should no longer remain empty after completing the Easter Egg Quest (in very rare cases). Yeah, this was a weird one. Two of you players got shortchanged and we don’t know why. Did somebody steal the Easter eggs and if so, whodunnit? Mr. Truffles, you say? Hmmm, he may be the grumpiest shopkeeper on Luma Island but that doesn’t make him a thief. No, I think we need to look towards the sky… Our prime suspect is in fact… dun-dun-daaah… the Woodgrouse… who liked the look of those colorful Easter eggs so much she took them back to her nest… for safekeeping obviously.
Quest items in your inventory no longer move to the top every time you load a save game. I mean, who did they think they were? VIPs? Nope, just plain ol' line-cutters, thinking they were better than eeeeverybody else. 😤
Weeds no longer grow on the same tiles as fences, Sprinklers, the Feeding Trough, or certain animal houses. Unlike out there in the real world. You know… The Place Beyond The Closed Blinds. 😑
Reeds will no longer grow on tiles you’ve covered with Gravel. That is to say, unless "life, uh, finds a way", in the immortal words of Jeff Goldblum.
