DESCRIPTION

This is a 32 map wad with various changes in the looking of the Doom 2. Most of
the graphics were changed, as well as the weapons and some enemies. It has new enemies
and weapons for ZDoom, increasing the gameplay. It also brings some new enemies for
Doomsday Engine.

The History

After the Earth invasion a couple of years ago, you still work as a soldier.
Suddenly, you received a message about an small invasion occurred on some Earth
industries. You, as an experienced marine, were called to finish this invasion. But
you realize that this small invasion isn't that small...

Making-off

After three years working on this mod, it finally got finished, but it looks
much more different than its initial version. The ZDoom addons were made on the last
year, with a lot of new weapons. Only a few were kept on the original project, and
the other weapons were releases as a weapon mod called "Arsenal".
	In these three years, a lot of people joined the project, but in the end no
one did a considerable quantity of work. However, the people that helped in this
project certainly is remembered on the Credits section of this file.
	This mod tries to bring some levels with new atmospheres for the Doom engine.
Only a few textures come from the original Doom 2, and the textures are divided into
sets, very organizated for the mapper. Industries, forests, castles, cities, ancient
temples, beaches and some hellish-imaginated places are some of the places you will
face.
	The gameplay was revised a lot of times, with various tests. The new monsters
are hard to fight against, but they appear occasionally. Watch out for the difficulty:
if you start playing thinking it's already hard, start it in another skill level.
The difficulty increases as long as you pass each level, and the latest levels are
insanely hard.
	The soundtrack were made during my graduation. Since I'm a musician, I hope
this would be the best point of this wad. The first levels have Techno-like musics,
the cities have hard rock tracks and the latest levels have atmospheric musics that
reflects the tension made by the hellish style of the maps. There are also musics
designed especially for a level, such as MAP 32. I'm really looking forward to work
as a soundtrack composer.
	Finishing, I make Doom mods for about ten years. This mod brings everything
I learned during my life, and I did the best I could. I hope to be remembered someday
as a person that contributed for making the great game Doom, showing that this game
has infinitely possibilites to bring us new worlds to exploit with our imagination.

GAMEPLAY INFORMATION

Game			: Doom 2
Advanced Engine		: Doom Legacy (v1.42), Doomsday (v1.8.6), ZDoom 2.0 96x or
			  GZDoom (v1.0.04), but you must edit the file to use GZDoom.
			  ZDoom recommended
Single Player		: Yes
Cooperative 2-8 Player	: Yes
Deathmatch 2-8 Player	: Yes
New Sounds		: Yes
New Graphics		: Yes
New Music		: Yes

IMPORTANT NOTE: NeoDoom is compatible with ZDoom 2.0 96x. It was originally designed for
it, but the new DECORATE standards made me convert the compatibility looking for the future
ZDoom versions. If you want to use GZDoom 1.0.14, you must edit NeoDoom.Wad, look for the
"DECORATE" entry, rename it to ZDOOM (for example), and rename the entry DECGZDM to
DECORATE.
