· Significant optimization to address memory usage growth during prolonged AFK sessions. Based on tests, the game can now run continuously for 100 hours without memory explosion issues! Our programmer sacrificed half of his hair for this achievement! · Major optimization to reduce lag/stuttering at high game speeds. Tests show that at 30x speed, the game can maintain roughly 55-60 FPS on a system with a 3060 GPU and a 10th Gen i7 CPU. Our programmer sacrificed his remaining hair for this result. · These two items required considerable effort, but they significantly improve the long-term AFK experience, making it worthwhile. · Most other changes in this update are bug fixes, including issues like being unable to craft high-tier pills after using high-tier recipes. · October's focus will primarily remain on routine fixes and optimizations. We plan to start adding new content in November, and we hope it will meet your expectations then. Haha! · Comprehensively fixed the issue of continuously increasing memory usage. · Thoroughly addressed lag/stuttering issues at high game speeds. · Skill: "Rupturing Edge Sword Art" · Skill activation settings; conditions can now be enabled or disabled. · Weapon skills not being auto-enabled by default after equipping a weapon. · Mouse cursor requiring a tab-back into the game to appear. · Abnormal display of resource gain rates in the top resource bar. · Slightly optimized performance in the Merchant view. · The Rare Treasure Pavilion can now refresh all weapon types. · Abnormal issue with concocting Breakthrough Pills. · Issue where the unlocked state of queue slots in views like Manufacturing, Alchemy, Nurturing, and Deconstruction was not being saved. · Added automatic cleanup for erroneously decomposed queue items. · Improved the layout of the Work Speed list in the Land Sidebar. · Upgrading "Spiritual Expansion"; it can now upgrade Swamp tiles. · The "Flesh & Blood" effect of Swamp tiles; Swamps can now correctly gain Flesh & Blo...

The base game of Puzzle Gallery features four artworks created by Mauricio Casiraghi, a concept artist from the Minimol Games team.His collection, called The Lighthouse Arcade, combines nostalgia, mystery, and the sense of wonder that comes from childhood imagination. It tells the story of a curious boy who is dared by his friends to find a mysterious lighthouse said to hide the biggest arcade in the world.The story comes from one of Mauricio’s childhood memories, growing up by the beach in southern Brazil. When he was a kid, local friends used to invent tales to entertain the younger ones. One of them was about an old lighthouse that supposedly had an arcade filled with every new video game — even ones that had not been released yet.Years later, Mauricio decided to turn that story into a concept art project, recreating the world through the eyes of that same curious boy.Each artwork feels cinematic, full of light and imagination. The environments mix classical architecture with neon lights inspired by the 80s and 90s, while also referencing the geometry of Escher and the ancient Pharos of Alexandria.The Lighthouse Arcade is both nostalgic and futuristic — a world born from childhood curiosity, now reimagined as interactive art inside Puzzle Gallery.🧩 The Lighthouse Arcade is part of the free base game, available at launch on Steam.👉 Add Puzzle Gallery: Jigsaw Art Collection to your Wishlist and explore it on October 20.

Added the possibility to use \ to open the settings menu in the hub screen
Bug Fix: Addressed the issue where the Fixed Deposit investment would get stuck at level 50 after purchasing the Prestige upgrade, "Keep short term upgrades after Prestige." Your investments should now upgrade correctly!
Potential fix for Patient Gamer Achievement:Before 1.28 your click on a chest, crystal and boss was registered even when you clicked on a unit button or in the prestige panel and a chest was behind this menu. This failed the Patient Gamer Achievement. Now the click on chests, crystals and bosses only work when its not blocked by other UI elements.Let me know if its working now.Cheers,Max
Hotfix 1.1.2Fixed an issue where the player could lose a part of the inventory, pets, and item collection progress after a hard prestige.If it did happen to you, please try to load a save via the 'recovery' menu. You can also send us the save file (via Discord or via email) and we'll add your lost items. I apologize for the trouble.
