I've learned a lot in the past few years and have applied some of my new level design knowledge to improve the flow of the Vertigo 2 campaign. See the screenshots below for some examples of improvements.This change will last 2 weeks, and can be turned off in the graphics settings (seasonal visuals).

Upon request, I have dug up the oldest build that I have saved from the early years of Vertigo 2 development. And one from 2020, too, for comparison. Steam blocks links to dropbox (understandable) so you can access them through the links on my official website hereMake sure to back up your save files, as they may be corrupted by these old builds!
