Very good points Keith! Thank you for taking the time to read through and provide me some feedback. So far you are on point with others I have talked to about these ideas. Everyone seems to choose option 4 as their first choice. Saying the game is too good to alter the plan, and for me to finish it out. Then as a back up option 2 is the unanimous choice so far.

So my plan for now, unless something big changes in my life in the near future, I'm just going to "keep keepin' on" as they say, and  move forward with option 4, while trying to think of ways to be more efficient with my level creation and Unity workload. I think, in the end, it'll prove to be a better and more full game that the end player will enjoy. Plus, I won't feel like I shorted the game and it'll be something I can be proud of.

Also, I'd like to say your thoughts on option 3 bring up some good notes about the randomized levels and the player not being to learn them, plus the added stress of the boss following them. I think maybe the idea could be something fun for the "music" levels inside the game, as long as I remove the Boss chase aspect. The way I create those types of levels, they're not "completely" random. It more like I make multiple "sections" of the level and the code picks between them to create one whole level. I like the idea of making an endless level for people to just explore and listen to the amazing soundtrack. It could be something worth doing.

Thank you! 👍🏻
