Finally, I got to fixing the Linux build of the demo. The main issue we had was that the intro cut scene wouldn't play. After some correspondence with Unity and digging in support forums, we found that playing cut scenes on Linux builds were miraculously fixed in the latest update!
A bit annoying but also glad it was an easy fix! Which means a Linux version of the demo is LIVE on Steam. If you try it out let us know how it's behaving!

While adding that, we also fixed:

• 1 teeeeeny tiny bug - that no one luckily has reported on yet. Phew!
  
• Cleaned up some unused game assets
  
• Minor performance improvement on scene loading. Work is ongoing!

Mooooo!

LAN's are finally back, and so is the LAN Downunder! Teams and players from around Oceania will meet this weekend to crown another LAN champion at the GIC Arena in Melbourne, Australia!

The event will feature a six round Swiss stage, followed by single elimination playoffs on day 2. There can only be one winner! Who will it be? Tune in at 11pm AEST to CappingTV for some jam packed action!

POPGOES Arcade is now available to buy on Steam!

Play the game, share your experiences, ask for and give tips! But don't spoil people...

If you encounter any bugs, let me know here and we'll see what we can do.

Enjoy the gaaaaaaaaame!

• rich presence for Steam

Please let us know what you think on the Community Hub or Discord!

Refactored the code so our engine's built in linter functions properly. As a result, there should no longer be any missing images or errors from misspelled variables in the first 3 episodes.

Minor dialogue changes.

Scouts!

One month ago there were 105 maps in Lumencraft’s Steam Workshop. .


It means that the community still experiments with the gameplay and doesn’t play by the developers' rules. It should be this way, so everything's fine 💗. Meanwhile, our team patch the Early Access build and get rid of the bugs that some of you report to us.

Once again - thank you for posting your maps and info about them in #share-your-map channel on our Discord server. This time we selected three maps for you guys. Two of them are fast-paced, and the third one is 100% story-focused 🏃‍♂️.

Without further delay…

Let the Maps Shootout #3 begins!

Just a reminder - the order does not matter - we’re just sharing maps that we find especially interesting 🧐.



Map name: Madness
Author: Xmaster13

To quote Xmaster13: “A chill, relaxing, intense, challenging, fun, insane map from the mind of a lumencrafter. 10 waves - ez pz. Stick around & Explore!”
Our thoughts: very funny, man. This is a “survive at all costs” type of map. After the third wave (out of ten!) all you get is about a minute for preparation before the fourth wave begins. Did we say that the fifth wave is a boss wave? Yes, it is. Also, it’s really easy to make a mistake very early in the game - even after 5-10 minutes! There are no clones, so death is permanent.



Map name: Bullets Required
Author: thelurpy1
Direct link

To quote thelurpy1: “Starting area is "safe"... Get your machine gun factory online asap. Watch out for large bug traps. There is only one entrance to your starting zone, funnel the bugs and defend yourself.”

Our thoughts: that’s the story-driven map mentioned above. We highly appreciate all the notes left for the scout and the scraps left for the Scout. In the first minutes, you’ve got to get as much metal as possible to activate the mine and the machine gun factory that will help you progress. Watch out for the Swarm - it’s easy to be surrounded by a bunch of enemies, so it’s better to drill narrow tunnels.



Map name: THE FORTRESS
Author: STUNTMAN JAY
Direct link

To quote STUNTMAN JAY: “You have been gifted by the gods, enjoy!”
Our thoughts: pretty chill map. You’ve got to fight the wave after 25 minutes - during the wait, you’ll be able to upgrade your drill to level 5 to gather Lumen. You'll get the metal from miners, the 8 huge chunks are located on the left side of the base. Build a defense system suitable for your playstyle and fight more than 130 monsters.

Wait a minute - there’s a new meme for ya:



Maps Shootouts will be published once a month.
Every map can be featured. Let’s see how many fantastic maps you'll publish. See you at the end of July 👋.


If you enjoy Lumencraft, please share your opinion with others. How should you do it? It does not matter - the choice is yours. It’s just a friendly request - nonetheless, we will be grateful.

Remember: to help us check out fantastic maps submitted to Steam Workshop, give us a “follow” on Steam⚙️, join our Discord 🎧 server and follow us on Facebook 👍 and Twitter 🐦

Try these maps during the weekend, see you soon,
