Misc. Author Info       : Still think DOOM DM is the most fun
                         you can have with a PC.

Description             : 8 levels of DM fun.
                         Godless 3 is a step back from the
                         insanity of Godless 2.  Most of the
                         levels are somewhat larger and easier
                         to get around in.  They're still
                         slaughterfests with four players, but
                         with two, you can actually have
                         hunting / stalking matches on most of
                         the maps.

Additional Credits to   : Id Software
                         John Carmack deserves special thanks
                          for his commitment to the community
                          and technical idealism most recently
                          demonstrated by the release of the
                          DOOM source code.

                         The DOOM community.  From what I've
                          seen in Usenet, there's occasional
                          infighting and cliquishness, but
                          overall, I'm proud of the effort the
                          remaining groups and individuals
                          continue to put into DOOM.
                         And finally, a special thanks to the
                          hackers.  Id never intended for users
                          to make their own DOOM levels.  I
                          just can't express how grateful I am
                          to those people who hacked out their
                          secrets.  You changed the gaming
                          world forever.  And thanks again to
                          Id Software.  You chose to nurture
                          what most people would have sicked
                          a pack of lawyers on.  In your own
                          way, you are heroes.

* Construction *

Base                    : New levels from scratch
                         Actually the first map's rocket alcoves
                         were cut and pasted  from MAP01.  In
                         addition, numerous structural ideas
                         were taken from the DWELLER, DANZIG,
                         and KANDY wad compilations.

Editor(s) used          : DCK 2.2 (still the best)
                         DEUTEX (also still the best)
                         WARM, Win95 PaintBrush, and
                         NeoPaint (UR)
Known Bugs              : E1M1 slime bug has been noted on
                         Map 8 and probably occurs elsewhere
                         as this wad contains a few Pentium
                         Optimized levels (lots of visible
                         sidedefs and linedefs).  Any others
                         that slipped through should be
                         reported immediately.

Who Made What             MAP01  Bloodbath Terraces        Blain
                         MAP02  The Training Facility     Chris
                         MAP03  Concrete Ordeal           Chris
                         MAP04  Load House                Blain
                         MAP05  A Maniac's Eden           Chris
                         MAP06  The Engagement Zone       Chris
                         MAP07  The Marble Trench         Blain
                         MAP08  Explosion Central         Chris

Chris did lots of dress up on Bloodbath Terraces.  (Blain's new
PC disliked DOOM to the point where he had to reformat a few
times.  He's learning to work around that.)

And one more thing, no one who was in any way involved with
selling me the D!ZONE disk set that claimed to include 75
new levels of which over 20 were from registered DOOM and
most of which stank may do _anything_ with these levels.
I don't even want you shysters PLAYING them!  Got that?
None of you Actura scum either.  Repent while you can.
