Due to your feedback, we’re able to improve Early Access of the game efficiently 🔧. After 2️⃣ Hotfixes that we released, our team decided to strike back with a bigger update that brings lots of new content to the game. What’s more, we fixed many things that you guys reported to us via Discord and Steam. Our goal is to make Lumencraft a place worth fighting the monsters - in terms of performance and gameplay. 👌

- turret upgrades are now visualized on the turrets
- auto-drill function. Triple tap button when using Drill to enable
- current wave number in next wave message and total wave count
- Respawn button, hold it to die when you get stuck etc. R on Keyboard, LB + X on controller

- global shortcut to toggle fullscreen mode: Alt + Enter

We do not forget about Maps’ Editor. Our team added:
