We want to allow to preorder the storymode very soon but before talking about business plans, let's take a look at the levels in the story mode first! We used some of the level contest entries as a basis to create story levels. Lootninja by sauer2 for example:
Original Lootninja Level, as included with the latest release
"Upgraded" Lootninja Level
Some of the steps when "upgrading" a level are the addition of...
background, skyline and info/data terminals...
shadows and characters...
hidden areas...
... and new content in general. Most "upgrade levels" are larger and require more time to do a 100% run than the originals.
Here is a big screen of a different, jetpack robot-heavy level, which is not based on a contest entry:
Codename "Jetpack Intro" (1920x1200)
We're nearly done with all the levels for episode 1 but some bugs, the preorder website and paypal integration will probably not allow us to release before January...
