Posting From : doesn't matter
Email Address : I don't really use the email address.
Misc. Author Info : Even though I am only 14 years old, I
have built and uploaded over 10 DOOM
WADs. I am a veteran at designing
levels, and I have taught myself to
pay close attention to detail,
playability, size, and other things.
I shoud also remember that naming my
WADs is also important. I learned that
after giving the name for one of my
levels, "Wicked Barons & Spectres".
Isn't that stupid?!
Other WADs By Author : I'm too lazy to list all the WADs I
made, so here's some of them...
Gorilla Gore
Water Flood
Get Your Gun!
Wicked Barons & Spectres
107 sounds from my mic
Houses 1.3
Deathmatch by Mike (Including Beavis
& Butt-head's house!)
...Again, I wrote a lot more, but a
few were compilations of other ones.
* WAD Description *
Brief Description : GIANT level for DOOM one
Cool Stuff : + VERY big. over 3,100 linedefs.
+ Also uses over 530 sectors when
polygons are left unshared.
+ Check out the light hellspawn that
comes out of my initials!
+ Have you ever seen quality and
quantity together in a WAD before?
WAD Info in More Detail : First, It started when I was playing
Fava Beans for DOOM. Their level
designs kicked ass! It made mine look
like butt soup! So I tried to make a
level that would meet up to it. You
know this level is big if I told you
that I first drew this on a 24 x 36
sheet of paper. This level is based
more around episode 1 because I liked
its gameplay and level design a lot.
So I decided to make a level like
episode 1.
Story Line : After going through just about every
hellspawn you could go through, A
message through your radio tells
you to reort to Phobos, because a hell
passage has been opened at the Phobos
base. The guys from UAC want you to
get those monsters cleared out before
they screw everything up. They also
want you to check out these two
strange symbols picked up from recon
that seem to be spawning some minor
demons. You are the only hope of
saving this base.
Might Not Run With : DOOM versions lower than 1.4 beta

Other Problems : Because the level is big, and has a

into an episode.

* Troubleshooting *
Problem: It kicks me out and says something about an unknown
linetype 117 when I open a small door.
Solution: Upgrade to a version of 1.4 beta or higher. I
recommend upgrading straight to ULTIMATE DOOM.
