Heya! I figured I'd check in because I have some things to say that are pretty important.
First off - school's started back up for me, so updates will be much less frequent than they used to be. I'll move towards adding more content less frequently, as opposed to the approach I had in development of "I've got something ready, so ship it".
Secondly - The time-of-day variants are definitely much better suited to Encore mode. (Thanks to everyone who pointed that out - I'm not entirely sure what I was thinking making them distinct maps.) The slots they take up in Echo Cup will be replaced with completely original maps. The variants may return as Encore versions, but it will probably be later down the line as I'm not experienced with making Encore remaps yet.
My priority at the moment is to improve what I already have. There's definitely some rough patches that need to be smoothed out and fixed, and I won't add new maps (outside of the Echo Cup variant replacements.) When I think it's good enough for release, it'll come out as Disc 1 REV01.
Additionally, a variantless version of the Appendisc has been provided. It's a V1 copy with the variant maps removed entirely (those being Shattered Seas Night, Mountaintop Twilight, and Hydrodynamic Sunset). I'm well aware this isn't a fix to the main issue, but I thought it would be a good idea to give people who didn't want to run the variant maps the option to do so.
Thank you all for playing my maps!
