  🌿 Return to Lumia Update Notes — 2026-06-20

  🐛 Bug Fixes - Fixed an issue when loading another save during dungeons or boss battles. : When selecting "Continue" with a different save while inside a Dungeon, Boss Rush, or Ore Arena, floor tiles could disappear, causing the character to fall endlessly, while dungeon backgrounds and music remained active. This issue has been resolved. ⚖️ Balance & Convenience - Mole drops adjusted. : Moles now drop 2–3 Clay instead of Dirt, and always drop 3 Bugs. (Additional Clay source + improved bait material acquisition) - Grilled Fish now always requires Mackerel. 📒 Collection Log - Resource / Item tab classification reorganized. : Naturally obtained materials (Dirt, Stone, Wood, Sand, Snow, Ice, Gravel, Water, Clay, Ores, and special terrain materials such as Lava, Obsidian, Frozen Water, and Winter Snow Grass) are now categorized under the Resource tab. Crafted items, equipment, furniture, consumables, and boss rewards are categorized under the Item tab. Raw ores are now also listed in the Resource tab. ※ Resources that were reclassified will still appear as discovered if you obtained them previously. 🎨 Visuals / Audio - Pet name changed from "Cute Chick" to "Cute Long-tailed Tit" in all supported languages. Improved Coral Staff sound effects. : A water splash sound now plays when bubbles hit and burst on enemies. ⚡ Performance Optimization (Improved FPS on Lower-End PCs) - Reduced stuttering when crossing chunk boundaries. : Terrain cleanup that previously occurred all at once during fast movement is now distributed over time. - Reduced performance cost when placing many Legendary Turrets. : Projectile homing has been simplified (brief 0.3-second homing followed by straight flight), and unnecessary screen updates and effects have been reduced. - Reduced enemy detection costs for Coral Staff bubbles and Baby Dragon pet fire breath, improving stability during large battles. - Monster density around the town now remains consistent in late-game and after loading saves.

  Hotfix Update – June 19, 2026, 7:10 PM

  🎣 Player-Facing Changes Summary 1. Bug Fixes * Ocean fishing now works correctly. Ocean fish such as crabs and mackerel can now be caught properly even when fishing near the shoreline. (Previously, ocean areas could incorrectly yield only freshwater fish.) * Only ocean fish can now be caught in the sea. Freshwater fish such as crucian carp, carp, and loach will no longer appear in ocean fishing pools. (Golden Carp can still appear anywhere during clear weather.) * Taming wild pets no longer becomes stuck when attacked. If a monster knocks you back during taming, the minigame will end naturally, and you can start over by approaching the pet again. (Previously, the progress bar could remain visible while the interaction key stopped responding.) * Fixed two rare crash issues. We blocked specific paths that could cause the game to freeze during certain boss battles or NPC interactions. * It is now possible to complete the Collection Log at 100%. Three entries that could not be obtained normally have been removed from collection progress calculations. 2. Improvements * Monster population around the village is now managed more consistently, including in late-game and continued saves. * Updated the ice fishing fish descriptions to match the actual requirements. (Ice fishing is available outside of winter as well.)
