===========================================================================
Advanced engine needed  : Should run on any relatively new (as of January 28,
                         2023) Boom-compatible port. For the best gaming
                         experience, I recommend using Doom Retro, Eternity
                         Engine, Woof! or ZDoom 2.8.1.
Primary purpose         : Single play
===========================================================================
Title                   : Hotel of the Dead
Filename                : HOTDv4.wad
Release date            : January 28, 2023
Author                  : DRON12261
Email Address           : [redacted]
Other Files By Author   : There have been no publicly released projects yet.
                         Only various publications in closed communities.
Misc. Author Info       : Mapper, mod maker, programmer, and quite a bit of
                         pixel art artist.

Description             : Initially the first version was created in 3 days
                         for the community project "666crets", organized by
                         RED77. Later, after another extra day of revisions,
                         the current version was ready for separate
                         distribution as a standalone .wad file, not tied to
                         the framework of the community project.

                         The level was designed to:
                         Software Render (or Software-like)
                         No Jump

                         Storyline:
                         You come to your senses on the street
                         outside the hotel building and suddenly
                         find crowds of demonic creatures all
                         around you. You realize that you need
                         to get out of the place as quickly as
                         possible.
                         But there's HE waiting outside the main
                         gate. Knowing that you are incapable of
                         confronting this horror now, you have no
                         choice but to take refuge in the hotel
                         building itself.
                         There is no easy way out...

                         Special thanks to DeathWish, for helping me figure
                         out a couple of technical nuances in implementing
                         the 3D elevator under Boom (the one on the street
                         leads to the second floor).

                         Special thanks to RED77, for organizing the
                         666crets community project, which gave birth to the
                         idea for this map.
