Filename                : xa-iforg.wad
Release date            : 12/15/2018
Author                  : Xaser and Not Jabba
Email Address           : [redacted]

Description             : A medium-sized Heretic map that was originally intended
                         for Realm of Parthoris. The layout/architecture by Xaser
                         is a recreation of Iron Keep from Dark Souls 2; Not Jabba
                         did the thing placement/combat later.

                         This map includes a set of gameplay modifications from Not
                         Jabba's upcoming episode, The Wayfarer, which are intended
                         to improve balance and pacing and fix bugs. Most notably,
                         several of the weapons are more powerful. See gameplay_changes.txt
                         for a complete list of modifications.
