Plus a bunch of other less notable solo releases :P
Misc. Author Info : Been mapping since 2017, started uploading maps in
2021 :)

Description : Big hub based map for Doom 2, inspired by Plutonia,
Alien Vendetta and Scythe 2. Probably one of my
biggest maps yet, took me a while to finish and fix
all its bugs and issues :^). Using Software
renderer instead of Hardware (especially on
Zandronum) is recommended, since playing on
Hardware can cause lag on some of the bigger
fights.

* Construction *

Base : New from scratch
Build Time : 4 months for building the map + 2 more months for
bugfixing
Editor(s) used : Ultimate Doom Builder and Slade3
Known Bugs : On Zdoom ports, playing the map with the
compatibility settings set to "Boom
(strict)" breaks any action that's activated by
scripts using conveyor belts and makes them
activate immediatly when the map starts, possibly
softlocking the player. To avoid this, please set
the compatibility settings instead to "Boom" only
or "Default".
(There's also the chance to get softlocked in the
lift that leads to the ssg in the blue path, if
you somehow manage to skip a linedef while going
down. I tried to fix this but it still happens
sometimes)
May Not Run With : Non Boom compatible ports + see "Known Bugs"
Tested With : PRBoom+ 2.5.1.4 , DSDA-Doom (-complevel 9),
ZDoom, Zandronum and GZDoom 4.6
