Misc. Author Info : A mortal who has played this game too long.
Description : Watched by towering monuments to the greatest of
D'Sparil's disciples, the Valley of Saints is
full of certain death to any heretic that dare
enter. Never the less, it is your quest to reach
the chapel at the summit of the cliff and destroy
the evil within. Following an ancient cavern
passage, you ready your wand and prepare to enter
the valley.
There is a firemace, and it may appear early,
late, or not at all. You'll have to adjust to
your fortunes accordingly. If you find yourself
low on ammo, remember your wand and bombs.
This WAD is tested to be fully vanilla
compatible. When designing the layout, my
guiding principle was that it should be possible
to go through the level with multiple variant
routes. I'd be interested in any speedruns or
other vanilla demos you come up with.

* Construction *
Base : New from scratch
Build Time : About a month
Editor(s) used : Eureka, WARM, SLADE
Known Bugs : A certain waterfall texture is misaligned. It
looks fine in the Eureka preview, so I'm not sure
what's wrong with it. Monsters in big rooms
(south valley, cathedral) may hear prematurely,
but those cases should all be worked around with
ambush flags. Would like to know what causes the
bug, though.
May Not Run With... : It may crash Chocolate Heretic, but works fine in
vanilla. Don't know why. I do not recommend
OpenGL ports of any kind, but they probably work
as long as certain render hacks are supported.
