and any chance that Lumen will be supported in later versions so, in update 8, it will be supported it'll be available you can turn it on but I guess the question is will we, like work with it so that it is officially supported so that it renders things the way that we want it to you know render and all that kind of stuff, I'm not really sure if that'll be the case- I get the the feeling that some extra work for Lumen will probably take place maybe more on the technical front but I think when it comes to sort of like the art front I'm not sure if we're going to do any sort of work needed to make sure that that is like fully fully fully supported but maybe maybe one day if, that those kind of resources free up where we're actually available to work on that sort of stuff then maybe we can but it's often a matter of priority and I think it will be very hard for us to say, we should start working on Lumen stuff instead of the new content that needs to be added to the game to finish it because we don't need Lumen to be in the game for the game to be complete, so it would be a hard sell to, dedicate a bunch of resources to that so I'd say the odds are pretty low but I'm sure they'll be like you know it's Justified it'll add some resources that will go a long way, and so there might be some tweaks to make it a little better but I don't know if we're going to get to a point where we fully support it it might also be the case that so few people use it that it like doesn't really justify putting too much time in it yeah because like right now you guys are like all Lumen looks so cool and like on paper sure but, Loom is very like CPU intensive and the game is already pretty CPU intensive, luminous as far as I know it's it's a CPU ran Ray tracing algorithm it's like a couple of it's like three different algorithms together and, apparently doesn't run that well on Hardware at the moment so, might be the case where like we can't really use it because it slows down the game so much, and then whether that's worth it or not we'll see but, yeah well we'll see what happens
