Description : Feeling a little sick of the winter chill? Step out
into the sunshine with Ray Mohawk on a quest to
save his home in the tropics!
Ray Mohawk is a 100% vanilla-compatible
mini-episode for Doom 2. 6 maps of fun and sun to
blaze through - engaging, but never unfair. Despite
having a bit of a beachy theme, these maps are
mostly Classic Doom, just like momma used to make,
but with a dash of palm trees, bright blue skies
and a cruisy, light-hearted soundtrack.
This mini-episode should run in any port. No matter
how you like to play, you should be able to load
this up hassle free.
Please give it a playthrough and leave your
feedback or demo recordings!
The story so far...
Since his childhood, Ray's beachside neighborhood
was a very quiet and relaxed place, populated by no
one but a handful of surfers, stoners and retirees.
Over the last few years, Ray has noticed an
uncomfortable uptick in both temperature and
population. Pollution and toxicity elsewhere in the
world are pushing the populous towards the
remaining safe zones.
This is no coincidence. Back in 2027, the UAC
developed a groundbreaking fuel called Nukage - it
was seen as the savior humanity was waiting for.
The need for oil and petroleum virtually vanished
overnight. It was as if all of the shareholders saw
this coming, as they all had huge stocks in the UAC
well before the downfall of crude oil.
That was 10 years ago. All the attention in the
advertising campaigns was placed on how long a
small amount of Nukage can keep your car, home or
spacecraft powered, while little mind was paid to
it's destructive side-effects. The UAC denied that
Nukage had anything to do with the rapidly
deteriorating ecosystem, even going so far as to
hire their own "scientists", who conducted
"research" and found that it was much safer than
any other fuel source known to man.
Ray had been following the story closely as soon as
Nukage started to pick up popularity. He was
always skeptical about it's supposedly low eco
footprint. After everyone switched to Nukage, his
neighborhood continually got hotter, the water kept
getting more polluted, and nothing was being done
about it. On one particularly hot day, when Ray was
in a particularly shitty mood, he decided to head
to one of the UAC offices and talk to someone about
this potentially deadly problem looming over him
and all the local residents.
Unfortunately, Ray had been on a week-long bender
just before his sudden urge to save his
neighborhood struck. With his heavy boots strapped
on and an even heavier head, Ray stepped outside to
wait for a bus inland so he could give the UAC a
stern talking to and finger-wagging. After his eyes
adjusted to the bright sunlight, he realized he
wasn't looking at normal people in the street - His
old neighbors were outside on the corner, feasting
upon each other's flesh. He glanced around and saw
a troop of soldiers heading in, and for a brief
moment he was relieved, until they began firing
upon the zombified civilians, ripping their limbs
off and gnawing at the raw meat. Ray knew
immediately that it was the late-stage effects of
the Nukage. He was one of the few people who had
always refused to drive a Nukage powered car,
which was probably why he was - hopefully - not yet
infected.
Ray zipped back inside and locked the door behind
him. Rubbing his forehead, he quickly decided that
his only chance at survival was to fight. Ray had
spent a few years in jail in his youth and during
that time he became very talented with a knife, so
his first instinct was to grab his sharpest blade
and holster it. He then reached under his bed and
pulled out a rifle, the only firearm he owned.
"This will have to do", he muttered to himself,
eyes still dry and tired from his dreadful
hangover.
Ray sits on the edge of his bed and takes one last
extended shot from his flask. His gaze becomes
locked on his knife for a moment and he realizes it
is the only friend he can be sure is still around.
Slowly and painfully, Ray stands up and prepares to
dive into the fray and save what's left of
humanity. His mission is to travel to and destroy
the heart of UAC operations, and hopefully get back
home in time for supper.
