Misc. Author Info       : French doomer

Description             : Reconditus is a 4 map (+ epilogue) mapset that started circa 2021.

                         This mapset takes place in a world where temple-like structures
                         have been slowly assimilated by tech/alien stuff.

                         What is the meaning behind this mysterious world? Who is responsible?
                         Is it all a dream? FIND OUT !!! (or not)

Inspiration             : Tough to say. The idea came along while I was listening to esselfortium's "Temple" midi.
                         While listening to it, I was imagining the theme that ended up making the wad and, low and behold,
                         it turned into this haha

===========================================================================

* Construction *

Base                    : From Scratch

Build Time              : Roughly 3 years, on and off. Only picked it up very recently

Editor(s) used          : Ultimate Doom Builder, Slade 3, Gimp

Known Bugs              : I have not seen any gamebreaking bugs and, none
                         were reported by my testers for this version. There
                         may be the odd slimetrail but, heh, I think I got
                         rid of most of them.

                         The mapset uses a dehacked that changes the speed of the pinkies/spectres. No idea
                         how it conflicts with gameplay mods but, I suppose it should be fine.

May Not Run With        : Vanila engines and anything that doesn't support boom.

Tested With             : Dsda-doom primarily (this is my go to port rn). Should run fine with most ports. Obviously not vanilla lol
