Cubetory now has custom maps and a lightweight map editor!

When starting a new game, you'll be able to open the Steam Workshop to browse and download custom maps and challenges for you to play through. I've gone ahead and created the first one, a painting challenge with 6 tiers of cubes to work through, using only the base painting mechanics of the game.

You'll also notice a Map Editor entry in the main menu, allowing you to create your own maps and challenges, and upload those to the workshop.
Other things of note in this update include :
Tweaks to the music to make it sound better.
Fixed a game crash related to pinned recipes.
Fixed an issue with asymmetrical cube patterns not being evaluated correctly.
Please let me know if you run into any bugs with the newest update!
