I guess most of you guys'n'gals will like this:
The DRM system will end with the beta!
Why?
The system itself worked great during the beta phase, but I know having a DRM system in a development framework is quite a hassle.
I just hope that pirates will use the still available free (limited) version to test the product, but they're no reason to punish the other users.
Code access
I'm still reviewing if you'll get full code access, or if some of the core functionality (nothing gameplay related - stuff like editors, serialization, assets, etc.) will be only delivered as a DLL.
Speaking of DLL - you'll still be using the DLLs in Unity. The code base is pretty big and it'd take Unity a while to compile everything, every time you change something (not even ORK related).
You'll get a MonoDevelopment project that'll compile the DLLs. Access either through SVN (most likely) or I'll send out the latest version (as it was with ORK 1).
Please consider rating/reviewing my products on the Asset Store (hopefully positively), as that helps tremendously with getting found.

The DRM personally didn't bug me at all, and I'm usually pretty opposed to DRM. I thought you did it in a pretty unintrusive way; and I'm really happy that it worked well for you in the beta phase. :D
Looking forward to more code access, though! (And the watermark removal :P ) As long as we have full access to the stuff that matters, I personally don't mind a little blocked access if you think it necessary.

Agree with Kirb that I'm fine with non-gameplay stuff being DLL-only.
As long as I can get the stellar help I've gotten, that doesn't really matter to me. But as mentioned, the editors out there use code accessibility as a selling point and maybe it is a good selling point.
I leave it up to you, gil. I do feel more comfortable having full code access in ORK1 because I can check things and try to understand things but basically I just want things to work and I don't care how I get there as long as I can get there.
Using the old 2d editor I was using, I had no access to the code, but have had over five years of productive game-making with that editor that generated sales and happy customers and they still want more. So all I care about is that things work, my players are happy and I get some income to invest in new graphics. : )
