Description:	This is a remake of Doom 2's Map 21 "Nirvana" by Sandy Petersen. The original map is ugly, broken, and one of the worst in the IWAD, but I still love love you, Sandy. I wanted to start with the basic ideas of the original map, so I kept the somewhat heavy dosage of hitscanners, the central stockpile of health, and the general trend of resource starvation. The flowchart of how the map progresses is also exactly the same as the original. Even though the original map was referenced but not copied, most of the rooms should be recognizable, if by no means identical. Expect a much higher difficulty curve than the original map and a bit of bullet hell gameplay. This map is completable in GZDoom but due to how that engine handles collision and Lost Soul spawns one aspect of gameplay is broken.

                          I wanted to start with the basic ideas of the
                          original map, so I kept the somewhat heavy dosage
                          of hitscanners, the central stockpile of health,
                          and the general trend of resource starvation.  The
                          flowchart of how the map progresses is also exactly
                          the same as the original.  Even though the original
                          map was referenced but not copied, most of the
                          rooms should be recognizable, if by no means
                          identical.  Expect a much higher difficulty curve
                          than the original map and a bit of bullet hell
                          gameplay.

This map is completable in GZDoom but due to how
			  that engine handles collision and Lost Soul spawns
                          one aspect of gameplay is broken.
