Perfect is the enemy of good.

After months of trying to both build a level that could contain a concept that looked good on paper, and then many weeks trying to find a solution for an optional game-mode, the conclusion is that it is better to reduce scope and build in steps and improve as is needed. There is no rule that a level must be 'finished' to be released. That is self-imposed and frankly lead to a situation where the lack of feedback ended up delaying a do-over. And it shouldn't have to be this way.

So in this release, is the current ongoing version of Level 5 -- it may change a little or a lot, but the stair-case down will not be unlocked until it is deemed ready, so no-one accidentally finishes it too early (missing XP and loot). Take note that the level is, as has been previously stated, is not finished and will change -- both due to actually being built out and changes based on feedback from play-sessions.

The alt. game-mode may become a reality in the future or be scrapped completely, depending if I can actually make it fun. As it was now, it wasn't, so it has to be halted.

In other news, the price-adjustment for the game will come soon - some currencies will actually remain the same (due to their fluctuations against the dollar), but the base-price will see an increase in $2.
