Scouts!

We finished implementing the new UI to our game. 😎

And yes, it’s fresher than the cold 🥒 cucumber-watermelon 🍉 salad with ice, served in the middle of summer. Also, the main menu got new robes. Watcha think ‘bout ‘em? 🤔

This is not the only very important feature that’s a part of this update to the Early Access build.

The performance boost we added truly is a game changer for all AMD Radeon and Steam Deck owners! 🔧

Now, we’re sure that Lumen looks and shines as we imagined. Don’t forget to tell us how you dig (pun intended) the changes of this update on the game’s Discord server! 👈

Last, but not least, here’s a whole changelog.
