August 2017 (Week 1)

+ Complete 3D pathfinding that seemingly works without an issue

+ You can now exit the mainenance area only if you disable all the pipes. One of the perks of using a story manager. Also the displays in the entrance now work.
+ The small level from Demo Day 14 will be used as a temporary coin grab - I'm gonna put a shitload of coins there and teleport player to the level if a certain condition is met. For example, player gets 1000 coins in the game, or finds a secret area.
