Apparently, I just couldn\'t resist after that Unity vulnerability fix. Since the very beginning, Bird\'s Eye could\'ve had support for multiple languages, but on my way to release, I kinda scrapped it in favour of modding support. But now I fixed it and every mod can have its own localization, just like the base game. \n\nI also improved the first launch experience. The game now starts in fullscreen and correctly shows the tutorial prompt. \n\nAlso, some small polishing touches here and there that make this game just a bit better on a technical level.

Yesterday, Unity announced that applications made with Unity 2017.1 or newer contain a vulnerability that could allow an attacker to remotely target a user\'s machine. \n\nBird\'s Eye was (probably) not affected by it, but it was built on a vulnerable version of Unity, so a little bit of housekeeping wouldn\'t hurt. I recompiled the game with the latest Unity version (6.2) where this issue is fixed.\n\nHere\'s Steam\'s official announcement on the whole thing.\n\nhttps://steamcommunity.com/groups/steamworks/announcements/detail/524229329545071275\n\nYou can find more information about this vulnerability at: \n\n

So much for the "several planned content, polish and bug-fixing updates", right? But anyway, Bird's Eye received its first big event -- Christmas Event. It includes a bunch of Christmas-themed cards, a special set of rules (which isn't locked to this event and can be toggled at any time) and small bug-fixes and small improvements to various parts of the game.

Oh, and Linux support.

Happy Holidays!
