Build time:	You really don't want to know. Years. Mostly struggling with editors. Once I got DCK, things got much faster. The levels done with DEU and DoomEd took weeks each; with DCK it is just days. Also huge amounts of time improving and refining the levels.
Editor(s) used:	Originally DoomEd, DoomEdPM, DEU Then I found DCK v3.61 and it's far better. DEUTEX for compiling.
Bugs:	None major - some rough walls and minor clipping effects

Getsu Fune	very classic Doom I feel in Doom II, but the gameplay made me quite nauseous. a lot of backtracking, especially for secrets, and a few crate mazes around. also no new music. terrible flow overall, and why are the TEI TENGA screens actually switches?	x
Anonymous	I liked the look, but not crazy about how it plays. The flow seems iffy, not sure where to go, which computer screens to press, etc. In Map01 a monster opened blue door for me (I didn't have key) and that room was empty except for monsters (huh?) Map02 I ended up low on ammo and health, wading through nukage at several points. Had to abuse saves... Well going to try 1phobos.wad now and see if that's any good.	x
Anonymous	It's certainly not boring IMO. I actually agree with a review it good on Doom Underground - the look and construction is definitely just OK but it is fun to play. 8 decent size levels, lots of monsters. 4/5	x
Anonymous	Competent but kinda boring	x

Colin Phipps - I am a student, and I also do WAD reviews. Check 
out ftp.cdrom.com/pub/idgames/levels/reviews/d1rev*.*

Description             :

This episode for DOOM ][ combines the graphics and style of the 
original DOOM Knee-Deep in the Dead  with the difficulty, new 
monsters, weapons and textures of the comercial game.  There are 
also a number of new textures, mainly created by rearranging old 
textures, and some new animated computer textures.

If you like these levels, please let me know what you liked most. 
They don't take long to make using DCK, though I seem to spend 
ages improving them. If I get some feedback then I will probably 
complete my scheme to extend it to 11 levels. Who knows, maybe 
more?

Equally, if there is something which you thing is bad about 
these levels, let me know. I have had little feedback about 
them so far, so all feedback is appreciated.
