The layout is very open and used themes are somewhat random, but mostly stick to general bricks texturing; this map has a "generated procedurally" vibe. It's big, and for such a big map there's very little action and lots of powerups. If you wish to walk around desolate buildings and occasionally shoot something, this is your WAD. Visuals are good.

Extra Info             : For 20 years I hadn't even thought of making
						another new G1 DOOM level, until suddenly I 
						did and by jove, it's way more fun on a 
						modern system with WYSIWIG.
						I warmed up to Doom Builder by modifying
						MAP01 and then moved on to this completely
						original Map.
						
						Even though it's in the MAP02 slot it's more
						of an EndGame level due to it's size & complexity.

I definitely took advantage of being able
						to make a bigger, modern level with lot's
						of detail, but I think it has an Shores of Hell 
						Tom Hall / Romero vibe.

The level has some options & branching paths
						for the player as well as criss crossing
						paths that "open up" while playing through,
						so one of the things I tried to do was give a
						little hint or subtle indication where there's
						something of interest.

The level is pretty close to being complete,
						but I consider it BETA because I want to spend
						some more time balancing out the ammo & monster
						flow as well as polishing smaller things and
						apply player feedback.

Thanks for your time, if you play it I hope
						you enjoy it, and if you enjoy it (or hate it),
						I'd love to hear about it.
