For all intents and purposes, we have a release.  I skipped our beta because it was pretty much unplayable.  The high-end development computers were getting around 5 FPS on average running through the level.

But, with much optimization and after cutting a lot of nice-looking effects, the level runs smoothly.

In addition, we now have

• A win state
• Settings menu
• Info screen
• New player model and animations
• No more stamina (it didn't feel right for our game)
• Static health pickups as opposed to dropping from enemies
• Controller support for menus
• Cool music
• A lot of other stuff
