First off, let's start with some thoughts on last month's D23 post. As soon as I started working on this month's level, I came to realize that the previous one was way less organized, coherent and polished than I liked: there were too many ideas, disjointed potential plotlines and random things jumbled together. So, from now on I will constrain myself to a maximum of 4 consistent "themes" each month, with the occasional oddity or continuity nods to keep it interesting without becoming chaotic. I plan on reworking the first month in the near future to make it more cohesive, too.
That said, back to the dungeon!
