Repeated intro

Hello there! Sorry about the delayed communication; we've all been severely heads down in working on the latest pack for Acro Storm. In general, we've done some updates to the music and sound effects, tweaked a few values (meaning: done a ton of programming work), improved the Acro Stadium track a bit more, and we're currently working on a brand-new jungle track! That last bit is really what's taking us so long- it's kind of a bugbear trying to get a new track set up and working well with the AI; we've made some advancements in the production pipeline, but some things just require a lot of man-hours. That said, we got an idea from a certain lemony someone, and it may well be considered- having early early WIP tracks available to the public in order to test out and provide feedback on. We're going to discuss this, and we'd obviously like your opinions on whether we should do it or not- we're aware that first impressions are very important, even with Early Access, so hopefully you can understand why this'll take some debate. For example, the jungle level currently looks like this , and we're hoping to make it look kinda like this only prettier. That takes a LOT of work. We're also hoping to introduce online play sooner than later, so that's another thing we've been jonesing towards. That said, we've not abandoned the game at all, nor do we have any intention to for some time. We appreciate the concern, though! ...and we'll do better to keep you all in the loop, even before things are finished. Thanks, and hope to get your responses soon!
