This update upgrades the game to the latest LTS version of Unity, patching a critical security vulnerability affecting every game currently using the engine. You can read more about this issue in this post on Unity's site.
Known issue: Unfortunately this forced update introduces an input issue when playing with a mouse on Linux, that makes it impossible to click and drag tiles. If you're affected by this, you can choose to opt in to the legacy branch via the game's properties, which will install the previous version of the game.
Fixed a nasty bug that would leave the tiles of certain regions incomplete when you zoomed in.
If you're looking for more puzzle, the demo for my next game Mosaic of the Strange is featured in this month's Steam Next Fest:
The game launches on November 7th, but the playable demo is out right now.
This is the most ambitious game yet in the Mosaic series:
New optional Advanced Deduction mechanics for hardcore players,
Five difficulty levels that you can switch between anytime - the solution stays the same, but the clues get harder,
Over 100,000 tiles (nearly double Proverbs!),
The puzzle now spans multiple interconnected locations - two of which are in the demo,
You’ll get to help FBI Special Agents Cullen and Brady as they investigate a bizarre murder, building their case by researching 125 real-world paranormal files. All progress from the demo carries over to the full game, so feel free to take your time exploring every corner.
I'd love to know peoples’ thoughts as I develop this new game. For more information, and to catch up with me directly, join the Divide the Plunder Discord using the links below and feel free to drop me a follow on my socials too.

Images from Pieter Bruegel’s original painting now appear in the proverbs pop-up, adding context and depth to your discoveries:
Numbers are now visible at greater zoom levels, allowing you to take a wider view of each region:
Hover over a tile, and neighbouring tiles in that region will be subtly highlighted for easier calculation:
