WARNING
This update will unfortunately render all level files made with 0.7.0 unreadable. You may still play these levels by switching to the "compatibility branch" for now, but these levels will be deleted in the near future as we get closer to release. This may happen again before release, I apologize for the inconvenience.
What's Expected in the next update?
Multi Object Selecting and Editing
More Background Themes
Piston editing variables
Improved Multiplayer Syncing
Improved Workshop Support (Level Tags? Publishing/Downloading Grouped Objects?)
Reintroduce the programmable seat object
Particle Emitter
Perhaps demo of first story level/campaign? (Might be moved to next update)

I will now be updating the public branch with additional updates/changes with this version. And I will try my very best to stick to a 2-3 week update schedule on this branch (with the exclusion of hotfix patches). Please submit bugs with a description of how it occurred to http://www.fallingstargames.com/contact-us/. If the bug can be addressed quickly a hotfix patch will be released, otherwise it will be fixed in the next update(s).
Cranium Conundrum - Unity (Beta Branch Updates)
Hello fellow Conundrum-ers!
With the shift to steam and a more steam integrated focus a new engine was required to progress so unfortunately that has added a big chunk of time to the development time, but I have been hard at work coding to bring you the current state of the new engine on Unity. The game is not at the state the previous version was and is still buggy and missing a lot of features that were once there, but if you'd like to opt-in and try out the new engine with some of the new included features (such as Steam Workshop Integration, Multiplayer, and Steam Achievements).
How do I activate these new updates? To enable the beta branch updates, you must right-click on Cranium Conundrum in your games list in Steam. Select the "Properties" menu item.
In the properties dialog, select the "Betas" tab. There's a drop-down list that allows you to select the beta branch.
CAUTION: This beta version is very early in development and expect to experience many bugs and/or crashes. This branch will be updated frequently until all objects are working just as they did in the previous official build.
