Anonymous	Not great, not bad : even in 1996, some people were able to do far better-looking wads, and aligned textures. No connexion between areas (you're in a techbase, then you open a door, and it's a room full of monumental pillarrs, followed by a cave, then back in a techbase...). Still fun to play. 2.5/5	x
Anonymous	This is dated January 1996. Not to confused with the more famous Void (id=12227) or for that matter Null Space (id=11435, the one where you're in a wooden castle floating in space). This has an end battle that's conceptually similar, with lots of imps floating in nothingness, but apart from that it's a good solid old dungeon level. In fact it's great fun throughout even today - the design is simple but the gameplay is knockabout fun, way better than most 1996 levels.	x
Anonymous	I really liked this one. It's simple, has some odd atmosphere and interesting architecture, though take care of some bad textures alignments next time. There is also a lot of use of invisible sectors effect that make monsters not seeing you which is funny. 4/5 - Optimus	x
Anonymous	A damn good wad, I really enjoyed playing it. 4/5 -Comiclez	x
Anonymous	Solid. -- 3/5	x
Anonymous	"Pretty darn good." Some nice architecture, and the gameplay is entertaining, though a tad unbalanced here and there.	x

The Pitch:  The Void was constructed with the idea of producig a completely original
	    work...  However, some of the techniques (such as invisible sectors) were
	    not designed by me!  They are also not the main point of The Void.  The 
	    Void was designed to be architechtually ingenious.  Everything from sloped 
	    caverns to whole rooms that completely redisign themselves are included in
	    this truly AMAZING level!  For those who know of UAC Dead, Leo Martin Lim 
	    may just have a little competition...

Also, be looking for a new Heretic level by Andrew Moore (me) called The Path.
	    It promises to be another super level...!

Enjoy the game!

* Construction *

I created this level using DCK v2.22, RMB 2.1, DMGRAPH vX, NWT v1.01 and 
DMAUD vX.  This level took more effort than time. (About seven days and 
52 gallons of sweat!)  However, I enjoyed watching this one develope.
