===========================================================================
Advanced engine needed  : Should work with vanilla Heretic, but playing it on
                         ZDoom-deriviative ports will ensure that the proper
                         level name will display in the automap.
Primary purpose         : Single + Coop play

Misc. Author Info       : I'm a 19-year old Polish student interested in IT,

Description             : Here it is: my debut in the art of creating levels
                         for FPS video games. Or rather, my first real
                         attempt at doing so, where I genuinely try to make
                         a playable level rather than to mess around with
                         the editor. So, this is the time where I have to
                         provide a story for the WAD or something, right?
                         Well, if that's so...

                         You used to be a cunning mercenary who never
                         resisted the urge to protect his homeworld from
                         demons or whatever sorcery. However, citizens if
                         the land thought you were a dangerous criminal, and
                         so they decided to incarcerate you in a dark
                         dungeon. They decided to lock you up in a chamber
                         in an underground catacomb, beneath an old military
                         base. You had spent a few months in solitary
                         confinement, being fed a meal made of a chicken
                         three times a day by the guard. But one day, the
                         guard didn't open the cell door to deliver your
                         lunch for whatever reason. This felt rather
                         strange, so you wondered what's happening.
                         Suddenly, a ghastly figure entered your room with
                         murderous intent. You dodged his attacks and karate
                         chopped his head off. Then you had realised that
                         the compound has been overrun by evil, and it's
                         your duty to escape and save the day once again.
                         You picked the sorcerer's staff and decided to set
                         out.

                         ....That works. While it's true that it's my first
                         map, I did my best to make it appear decent and
                         iron out any flaws. I had to use some magic tricks
                         to do what I want, which might make you see a void
                         sometimes, but there's not much I can do when
                         mapping in the vanilla map format. Besides, there
                         aren't many Heretic maps being made these days, so
                         I don't have a lot of competition. Nonetheless, I
                         hope you will have fun! I look forward to hearing
                         your thoughts. Who knows, maybe I will create more
                         maps for other games in the future.
