Made from the deepest room in the game
Everyone who has taken the west shaft down past the flooded cannery knows Lumen. You do not find it — it finds you, about four seconds after your dive lamp gives out, and then it simply stays.
Saltbox Interactive sent us the original in-game model and a folder of concept sketches nobody outside the studio had seen. We spent six weeks on the lure alone. It had to hold its curve without wire a child could reach, and it had to glow the specific green that players describe as "the only good colour down there".
The answer was a weighted foam core inside a brushed knit, with the glow printed rather than coated — coatings crack, and this is a plush somebody is going to sleep on.
We make one thing at a time. While Lumen is open, Lumen is what the workshop is doing.
