Filename:	levels/doom2/Ports/g-i/hotdv4.zip
Size:	2.61 MB
Date:	02/01/23
Author:	DRON12261
Description:	Initially the first version was created in 3 days for the community project "666crets", organized by RED77. Later, after another extra day of revisions, the current version was ready for separate distribution as a standalone .wad file, not tied to the framework of the community project. The level was designed to: Software Render (or Software-like) No Jump Storyline: You come to your senses on the street outside the hotel building and suddenly find crowds of demonic creatures all around you. You realize that you need to get out of the place as quickly as possible. But there's HE waiting outside the main gate. Knowing that you are incapable of confronting this horror now, you have no choice but to take refuge in the hotel building itself. There is no easy way out...
Credits:	The map was created by DRON12261 in 4 days. Soundtrack ("A lot to learn" from MAP29, D64D2.wad): MIDI version by DILDOMASTER666 OGG version by DAR Thunder sounds from Eternity Engine resources. The texture pack used was jimmytex.wad. SKY1 was taken from 32in24-15_tex_v2.wad. Special thanks for testing: Dexiaz NicolasTheFuggit Olphian Special thanks to DeathWish, for helping me figure out a couple of technical nuances in implementing the 3D elevator under Boom (the one on the street leads to the second floor). Special thanks to RED77, for organizing the 666crets community project, which gave birth to the idea for this map.

===========================================================================
Advanced engine needed  : Should run on any relatively new (as of January 28,
                          2023) Boom-compatible port. For the best gaming
                          experience, I recommend using Doom Retro, Eternity
                          Engine, Woof! or ZDoom 2.8.1.
Primary purpose         : Single play

                          Storyline:
                          You come to your senses on the street 
                          outside the hotel building and suddenly 
                          find crowds of demonic creatures all

                          possible. 
                          But there's HE waiting outside the main
