Repeated intro

Hey Guys, We decided to drop the price of the Early Access build to $9.99. As this is our first go at this whole Greenlight / Early Access process, we're still feeling our way through what works and what doesn't. Trying to pick a reasonable, fair price that is accessible to more people, while simultaneously trying to target earning enough to fund the remainder of the game's development is still new territory for us. We don't really know what to expect, and there's not an easy formula availale, so we're kind of winging it. To anyone who purchased the Early Access build already at the higher price, we apologize for the abrupt shift, but don't worry, we're more than happy to make up the difference to you and there are a couple of ways we can do that, including PayPal, check, etc. If you're interested, you can alternatively turn your three bucks into a 6 month membership at our pretty darn awesome website for gamers and game developer's (www.gameinstitute.com). That's a $75.00 training package, so easily worth it if that kind of stuff interests you in any way. There's lots of other cool game projects we are working on that you can check out and many useful things you can learn -- you won't be disappointed. Totally your call. Either way, we'll take care of you. Just drop me a line at joe@gameinstitute.com and let me know how you want to do it along with proof of purchase. Also include your PayPal details if you want to do PayPal or if you want me to write you a check, shoot me your name and address. If you want to go with the training membership option instead, just tell me and I'll setup your new account and send you login information. If you just want to donate the three bucks to the cause, with your best wishes, we'll take it :) Separately, I hope everyone is enjoying the game and we can't wait to start getting some of the new content in! We are working hard on the next track right now and it is coming together very nicely. Won't be long. We appreciate all of the support we've gotten from the community and we hope to build something that everyone enjoys and would happily recommend to a friend.
