I'm happy to announce that after three patches, Filtration is in a solid enough state that updates are moving from "fixing issues" to "adding cool new things." (Issues will still be fixed, of course--I'm just no longer in a position where I feel like I have to fix anything urgently.)

So far the reception to Filtration has been beyond what I expected--people are buying the game, playing the game, and leaving glowing reviews!

Here's my MS Paint sketch of a platforming section in Filtration, and the finished level.
Top: an MS Paint sketch of a gear train, with several parts labeled ("one of the second-floor rooms: swinging on beams that retract with the 'sudden retract' mechanism," "120° bevels for upper rooms," "bevels," "reduction," "big rotating walkway," "swing platforms")
Bottom: this level in the finished game, showing that there is indeed a big rotating walkway with bevel gears etc. connected to it
