A new holiday themed room
A new Darkest puzzle

We also shipped a bunch of fixes and improvements to the Room Editor, focusing on stability and quality of life. The full changelog is available at the end of this post.
And if you’re looking for great community rooms, don’t forget that there’s now a Build-a-Room Winners category in game, where you can quickly jump into all the winning rooms from our last competition.
