Misc. Author Info : Never made a Heretic map before this.
Description : A whole new dimension of UnAligned! The death of
the Icons of Sin shattered reality and thrust you
into a strange dimension of swords and sorcery.
Now you must survive three distinct, dastardly
episodes and defeat the three D'Sparils!
UnBeliever is a three-episode, vanilla Heretic
megaWAD where each episode offers a different
gameplay experience and are designed to be played
in any order. E1 has lots of gimmicky combat
scenarios, mostly focused on Heretic's unique
gadgets. E2's maps are ultra short and action-
packed, built with only 100 linedefs a piece.
And E3's trials require quick thinking and
quicker reflexes.

Build Time : Built primarily in November of 2018, with
additional work done sporadically from the
the following December through June
Editor(s) used : Doom Builder X, SLADE3
Known Bugs : 1) The WAD contains a DECORATE fix for ZDoom-
family ports which tries to approximate
vanilla behavior of explosive gasbags, as well
as correcting the amount of damage that
D'Sparil should take from crushers (both of
which are central to how E3M8 plays). The fix
is close but not perfect, so if you want the
"authentic" experience of this map, play in
vanilla or Chocolate.
2) An HHE patch is included in the zip for use
with vanilla and Chocolate Heretic, which
contains new map and episode titles. However,
there is a bug in Chocolate Heretic where the
new titles will be overridden by the original
map titles on the intermission screen. In
addition, because of the limits of the format,
some of the titles had to be shortened. Any
port that supports MAPINFO will display the
full, correct titles. Otherwise, refer to the
section below for a complete list.
3) GZDoom has a bug where you can fall off some
parts of the invisible platforms in E3M2 but
don't fall all the way into the lava below.
4) Some objects flicker in and out when playing
in vanilla or any ports that cap the number of
sprites onscreen. Most noticeable in E2M8 and
E3M8.
5) Pretty minor drawseg overflows in E3M7, in
addition to visual glitches with the sky if
you get up high enough.
Tested With : Chocolate Heretic v3.0.0, GZDoom v4.0.0,
ZDoom v2.8.1
