So here's a chat log from two or three weeks ago. The reason I haven't posted it yet is because I'm on vacation, and I rarely get internet connection.
[Warning: Do not continue reading if you are avoiding spoilers for future updates]
Chat logs:
AwesomeJRFD: Hello
Runouw: Hello
AwesomeJRFD: I have a question
Runouw: What is it?
AwesomeJRFD: Are you planning to sell the final version of LL?
AwesomeJRFD: If so, for how much?
Runouw: I wanted a large 12 or more hour gameplay version to be sold on steam for $10
Runouw: But the level designer will be free
Runouw: It will take me years to reach that point.
AwesomeJRFD: Will the Level Designer be open source?
Runouw: Maybe one day
Runouw: But I have to finish the whole game first
AwesomeJRFD: How long do you expect that to take?
Runouw: Probably 2 more years
AwesomeJRFD: Will the story mode include some levels made by the community?
AwesomeJRFD: Or will you be making all of the story mode levels?
Runouw: I have planned a special version of the game which will be community made.
Runouw: The next beta I am releasing will be story mode levels only
Runouw: I want there to be contests after this beta is out for levels to be in the next version
AwesomeJRFD: Does that mean the next beta will not include a level designer?
Runouw: The next beta will come out in 2 versions
Runouw: The one on Newgrounds and Kongregate will have the levels designer and extra songs stripped from it
Runouw: The one on Runouw.com will have the level designer.
AwesomeJRFD: Will the final version use the Steam Workshop to play level designer levels?
Runouw: I believe so
It looks like we have a price and a (sort of) ETA for the final game, which will be on Steam, as well as some info on the next update.
