Description:	This map was meant to be part of my old Blood-inspired mod. I started developing it during 2018, but I couldn't complete it due to some complicated personal circumstances. My previous map was based on the Wild West era level of Duke Nukem: Time to Kill, so I felt like that game was a great source of inspiration and decided to recreate the popular city level next. This time around, it was a little bit more complicated to design everything since as opposed to a western setting, Blood textures and props weren't quite enough to render a modern city. So I had to import a few assets from Duke Nukem 3D and Realm667. Feedback for early screenshots of the level received praise for truly looking like a map from Blood. There was also someone who told me that the design reminded him of Batman Doom, which I never played. I love it when people have their own interpretations of what I do After having a work-in-progress version of this map rotting for about four years, I decided to finish it for once and I think the end result is my best map yet.
