Run scoring?

I've just remembered that this was a feature back in the alpha, and now I find myself wondering if the devs plan on bringing it back in some form.

I know I'd like to have something to encourage optimal play beyond just what is needed to beat a dungeon. We already have badges and dungeon completion, but since there's no reason to get any of them more than once per dungeon, you really don't get anything out of a particularly efficient run other than the personal satisfaction of seeing a bunch of badges in the dungeon completion screen. At least a high score would leave a more permanent mark of that achievement.

I also think it'd be particularly interesting if the amount of gold you spent on preparations was subtracted from your final score, giving a tangible reason to pick something between "purist" and "a preparation from each building." There's the gold cost of preparations, sure, but that soon grows mostly irrelevant, so I only find myself picking limited preparations if I feel like challenging myself for the sake of it.

I'd really like it we could earn multipliers in dungeon by earning badges to increase our gold haul. It would probably require some re-tweaking of payout, and different dungeons would probably need different base payout, but it would definitely be nice.
